Hello all… Sorry for my sever inexperience with circuit board and their components but I’m learning and after about 2 weeks of research, i’m lost.
I was looking at the Velleman K4304 kit and was wonder on if what i have may overpower the input sensitivity.
I’m wanting to use this in car audio. What i would like for it to do is just to go with what the amplifiers.
providing power to it would come from the cars 12V DC
in the illustrated_assembly PDF, it says connect speaker + to HI IN…
Is there a limit on what HI IN can handle? Is there a way to allow it to handle what i am asking? ( switching individual parts out to handle more power)
I can take a multi meter to my amplifer + speakers and provide any numbers you may need.
i have around 5000 watts supplied to my subwoofers.
Thank you for the time and any help you can provide.
5000 Watts does not say anything.
Please calculate the max RMS voltage and check if this is still within the range of the unit.
Also, the K4304 is a VU meter, not a Watt meter.
the max Vrms that I could output with my equipment would be 110Vrms
using the formula Power = Voltage^2/Load Resistance.
power being 5000 and load resistance is 2. squaring both sides gives a 100Vrms. added 10 for safety.
I have looked at that kit you mentioned several times but I am not needing to measure watts. I am needing to monitor the output audio signal.
sadly, the K4304 in its current design is only able to hold up to 60Vrms on the HI… What components of the board would I have to change in order for it to hold 110 Vrms?
obviously, this would void any warranty possibilities for the K4304 and I understand that.
