Dummy Load

I have built the dummy load using the 20 watt 8 ohm Radio Shack resistors, 2 per channel. I mounted them on some screw down terminals and ran about 3' feet of speaker wire off of them. I managed to mount the terminals on wood blocks so there would be some airflow around the resistors. They have been running for about 2 hours with no noticable build up of heat. So I'll run these babies 24/7 and see if this speeds up the break in process at all.

Thanks again for all of you help!

Rick: As mentioned, you want to run the amp up where you would have your normal listening levels at. So long as the amp or resistors aren't over-heating, more volume would be better / help to speed up the process. Other than that, glad that things are going smoothly for you. Sean

Rick get a piece of cloth, cover the blue light,
so your wife cant tell if they are off.You have to
be more creative.You really need to put them on 24/7.
It helps.I hope you got my email.Enjoy
