Hello folks,
When repairing/testing high wattage (800 to 1000+ watt) power amps, what do you guys use as a dummy load?
I know you don't need to hook a solid state amp up to a load to measure the output signal, but there's got to be times when it's important to hook these babies up to a proper load.
I do repair in my house in a residential neighborhood, so running a 1000+ watt speaker system is not an option!!
I'm wondering what techs actually use, not what could be used. I see there are big power resistors available, which is probably what I'll end up getting, but still curious as to what other techs use.
Thanks!!
