AudiogoN Forums: Dummy Load

Dummy Load

I have a new pair of Odyssey Extreme monoblocks that I am trying to break in. I was told that I could build a "dummy load" so I could run the amps 24/7 without the speakers hooked up. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Sean,

OK, 2 it is. I really don't know where the bias is set. I'll be talking with Klaus tomorrow so I'll ask him. Thanks again.
