[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 130618, member: 52"] Re: Help me understand system limiting- setting it True, even the better modern amps can not last more than a few seconds with high power sine waves. I use my household 1500 watt oil filled 120v heater elements for load resistors, they are about 9.6 ohms between two elements, so I just add them in parallel and switch off elements to arrive at the impedance needed. Four can handle 6000 watts indefinitely, but I haven't tested any amps that do much more than "tickle" the load. [/QUOTE]
