I did find out that i had the amp set up all wrong. I set it up like the picture on the Doug websight as far as the wiring and that is not the way to set up a Nady amp. I had it shorted out totally.

The nady amp can handle about anything but a dead short which it handled for about 3 months.

So now I have the amp set on bridged mono,no jumpers necessary.Just a switch to flip, and walla double the power on the two center posts.

I don't wan't to hurt the amp but the variable speed fan doesen't even speed up when the amp is (not) shorted out,like before . You should see the computer screens in the house go crazy when i hit the on button on the frequency generator. COOL!!!

I have a lot of BIG CAPS ,got them at Mendelsons in Dayton Ohio. But what are they for????

The Capacitors tune up the coil to increase power by about 4 times! If you are already shaking the computer monitors you may not need any more power.

What I use is a switch box with one switch selecting a 1 uf Cap, the next switch selects a 2 uF cap, the next a 4 uF cap, all the way up to a 16 uF cap.

The capacitor goes in series with the coil. When tuned up the current should climb to 10 to 15 Amps. The lights may dim too.

My wife did ask me once "Why do the lights dim when you fire that thing up? Currently I am using a Dunlap-Clarke Dreadnaught 1000 watt amplifier, boy does it dim the lights.
 

That ought to do something!
 

Now I take my wallet out before treating.
