First off I like to say, I received the amp with a quick turn around time, Christoph answered all my questions and returned everyone of my phone calls. Excellent customer service.
I know with all you spl, caraudio, amp testing gurus out there, what I have so far may not be good enough. However I am putting it out there anyway. I just did a partial test with the CS Elite 12. This was simply an SPL test. Put it this way, with one 99z12 (in my opion, the baddest 12 on the planet), one NSBg-3100 with the elite 12, I broke a 155, consistanly!!! Will be doing power testing today. Stay tuned! If not me, with this amp and DD subs, I predict some serious numbers this season!!!

I love my CS Elite 12. I still have to try out my new enclosure, and do some testing. But I am sick as fawk right now. And I have to head out to SBN this weekend, and I still have not even done a single test.

So as far as Street Class is concerned, they are basically identical?

Nah Tom, You know me better than that to bs with numbers. But I am definitely in the 155's though!! I will use the set up at the next Glenn Burnie show. It wil be a 2x event.

One 12" nominal load 0.25 ohms + one NSBg-3100 box rise 0.85 ohms voltage drop 9.8 72.3 volts 85.2 amps 6159.96 watts.
Still consistanly getting over 155 dbs. This amps has a lot left in it, my head unit shuts down. So based on that, this is a hellafide amp!!!
Now all you street A guys, from my testing, I know there is only a 0.3db difference from the NSB group 3100 and the group 2700 batts, with one amp. So I would predict this amp may make power between 5500 to 5750 watts. But remember this is only an estimate. I could be very wrong!!

And on top of it he still has to test at .5ohms to see if efficiency is in effect. He may do same power at .5ohm but gain some efficiency. Who knows. But a good start.

Yep... he is still at the start. I am sure he will get some good results soon.

Looks like once Ray get's all wires and everything set up right the elite 12 will probably peak around 6700-7000w being run at .25ohms dropping his NSBG 3100 into the mid to low 9's. Still not as much as europe gets from same amp but more then most people get from two amps here in the states. lol

Cuz he's running B this year. And since it's pretty much same power as two cs 5k's he'll probably only run one elite 12. But with Ray you never know what he'll run. lol

Well at 0.5 ohms on an Elite 12 is not its optimum impedance. I gained on efficiency but not power.
voltage drop to 10.6 no HU shut off.
80.3volts 60.6 amps 4866.2 watts
So the money spot for the Elite 12k is between 0.25 - 0.375 ohms. So 0.25 ohms it is.

I am running b this year, but I need a certified score in A, just in case. So I decided to run A at SBN. But there goes my good score. I have to drop battery power down to the group 2700 battery. Hope it works out for me!
