"Signal to noise is related, but only part of the issue, as it only applies when many things compared are similar. We care about the absolute mV noise floor more than just signal to noise." if the amp is measured at -110db s/n at 450...

what does bss dsp offer that the dcx2496 does not? "The noise floor of a given amp will be a huge determinant factor with the high sensitivity of these." just be careful comparing noise floor specs. there are several different ways of...

"I'm not entirely sure, I could create a video of my system with the auto-eq applied (UMC-1 stereo DSP mode) in non-upsampled 44.1k (regular quality) vs the raw 192khz upsampled ASIO streaming in pure-mode (highest quality). It might be...

nice work there.

i forgot if he has the dual 2 ohm drivers or dual 4's. that could make a difference in whether or not a second amp would add much spl.

"1.76 in total?" yeah. it is easier to think about it as a total system because if you increase the spl of one sub at a time by 1.76 db, the total system spl only goes up by 1/8th that amount in his case, or about 0.2db, which is...

"And if I understand, that would still be 4ohms to the driver?" you have it backwards there. the "ohms" are a property of the driver(s) not the amp.

"A couple questions. If I bought another CV 5000 amp, I would get 900 ish watts per sub compared to my current 600 ish watts per sub. So, that gives me 1.5 db's more per sub right? How many more db's would I get total? I can't remember...

'not, do you have a suggestion for a relatively simple amplifier test that he could perform? let's assume he doesn't have a variac, oscilloscope, and a method for dumping the heat of full power 2-4 ohm load testing.

if you measure the t/s parameters in series vs. in parallel, they will be different. if you input those different t/s specs into a model, the frequency response and the enclosure will be exactly the same. that is what i meant. bl...
