Further lunacy...

I visited the stereo shop yesterday,Dave has updated his truck somewhat.

He now is down to a single amplifier. It measures about 18 inches high by about four feet wide, not sure how deep it is -- couple of feet, at least. It is purpose-built for SPL competition, and is rated at 5,000 watts at 1 ohm. It is so efficient that it doubles up in a quite linear fashion, right down to a 1/8 ohm load which is what he is running -- sixteen 2-ohm 15" subwoofers, run in parallel to get the 1/8 ohm load, where he generates (are you ready for this?) 40,000 watts.

Some idiot persuaded Dave to let him sit in the truck while the stereo was run. Knocked him unconscious, and could actually have killed him had Dave cranked it all the way up.

The amplifier is called a "Drag Queen" and is manufactured by Harrison Industries.
