Don,
That's the exception. I've heard the claims from some who run stock that they
are capable of such numbers. I had a boss who was an ardent cber ask me to fix
his mobile solid state amp. I said I would take a look at it. After all, I was
curious. I had no intention of fixing it for him though. The math said there
was no way he could get 500 watts out with only a 20 amp fuse in the 12 volt
supply lines, even IF the amp ran at an efficiency of 100%. Who only knows how
over driven the amp must be and I'd hate to see the spectrum analyzer under
such conditions. BTW, it was a blown transistor on the input side (2x4
configuration). Gee, I wonder how that happened. I gave the amp back to him and
said I couldn't find the problem.
Gotham couldn't hold a candle to some of these guys.
73,
Jim W5QM
