    Calculating a Hybrid Bridge Tied Load

    I'll answer later, I don't have time now. In the meantime, it is all laid out in my original post.

    Calculating a Hybrid Bridge Tied Load

    Please apply the correct voltage in your formula. If you apply the numbers incorrectly, you get the wrong answer. I answered what you asked in my rebuttal. You applied the wrong voltage. Apply the right voltage, you'll get the right answer. As I said this is pretty fundamental. Never...

    Calculating a Hybrid Bridge Tied Load

    Rebuttal. It didn't take long to get nasty. Imply what you will but do not imply I'm a thief or a plagiarist. That work is mine. All of it. My text, my schematics. If I reference some one's work they are credited for it. Normally I post the URL. If I quote someone, it will be...

    Calculating a Hybrid Bridge Tied Load

    Perhaps the same could be said about you Steve, I've been on the same tack since the beginning. That was the purpose of the calculations. You can't say you didn't know what was being determined, all the work was shown and illustrated. You rejected the conclusion and stated “The problem...

    Calculating a Hybrid Bridge Tied Load

    From Houston's thread - How would you hook up these three components If there is a four ohm load then a four ohm capable amplifier should be able to drive it - no?

    Calculating a Hybrid Bridge Tied Load

    What does "sees" mean? Steve, as you well know, amplifiers don't have eyes. Amplifiers are imperfect current sources. When operated within design specifications they respond largely, if somewhat imperfectly, to ohm's law. An eight ohm load will draw roughly half the current of a four...

    Rock-n-Roller Flat Tire

    Unless you're going cross country, what is the attraction of the pneumatic tires? I've had something similar to the R&R for over 20 years, made by Milwaukee. It has hard tires. lays down or stands up just like the R&R. I've just about worn the tread off the wheels. Can't say I'd like to have...

    Calculating a Hybrid Bridge Tied Load

    The nicest thing you ever said Steve, that's the nicest thing you ever said to me. I'm a big fan of Mythbusters and think they do a pretty good job. I can only aspire to do as well as they. Now, on to your myth. The question has always been what impedance does your speaker network present...

    Calculating a Hybrid Bridge Tied Load

    A recent post re-introduced the idea of connecting speaker loads using both standard (stereo/dual) connection and bridge tied load in a single implementation. The given elements are: all three speaker loads are 8 ohms one of the speakers will receive 6db greater signal the amplifier will...

    My new old headphones...

    Good phones Those cans were highly recommended by more than one headphone review site. The praise was higher still when the moderate price is taken into consideration. I used to be a fan of Koss but that has ended. I don't know how their warranty works but I owned Pro4aa and Pro4aaa cans...

    Beer and Bose - A Bad Combo

    Hugh, while I thought Rick's answer was more humorous than you did (you Bose guys really are touchy about your Bose stuff) I don't think the relatively small amount of alcohol will help much. I think beer is going to leave a residue that will be fairly obvious. Kinda icky and sticky and ohh...

    Do you prefer live music or studio recorded albums?

    Studio Too many of the live albums have distracting audience sound. I'll call it audience noise. When I get stuck with the live track I'll cut the intro cheering so that my audience that may not be whipped into the frenzy yet doesn't have to sit through it. (yes, I agree that is purely my...

    Advise on equipment

    I use VDJ (Virtual DJ) and it meets my needs. The company line here is Rockit as Rick is the author and a supporter of this site. Lots of people really like Rockit and you can demo it right now by downloading it at no charge. The only limitation is that it craps out after approximately 30...

    Device for measuring power draw??

    Weenie meter Some time ago I bought a Radio Shack clamp on 'cause I didn't have much money and needed to know why the customer was popping fuses. It came with a molded accessory cord that allowed the cord to be plugged into the wall and a load to be plugged into the cord. It had two...

    Noise Canceling Headphones

    Molded phones are good but... I've no argument molded earplugs are a good option with good isolation. Getting that isolation is an expensive proposition if you go to your local ear doctor for the mold. Some time ago I priced the Etymotics along with custom ear molds and came to the...

    Device for measuring power draw??

    Circuit breakers typically allow for overcurrent It is time to get down on Fred because I know he knows this stuff. He's holding out on you guys. There are many different kinds of breakers with different characteristics. Most commonly, breakers do not open (break) at exactly the rated...

    Weddings Hollywood Theme

    Don't forget the flash bulbs. The true hayday of Hollywood were the '30's and '40's. It is difficult to realize how much technology has changed in the interim. Good luck equipping the photographers with period correct Speed Graphic cameras. And don't forget flash bulbs. You can get them...

    Power distro questions and comments....

    Ah yes, the little flinch before, never gets old Ahh the insulated allen wrench [carefully] inserted in the lug. Is there any thing loose above that can drop onto the allen key? And then we turn our backs to the panel as we throw the breaker for the first time, flipping the switch behind us...
