Price too high. Should be shipped in pairs with more efficient shipping cost.

Do exactly what you want and do it well. 8.05 ohms measured, and with. 40 watt amplifier at highest power before distortion for 10 minutes they barely got warm.

I bought 4 to make a dual speaker dummy load. The resistors worked great. Would recommend!

The resistance is very close at about 8.3 ohms a piece. They seem to be built very well. I mounted them on 1/8 aluminum and added a heat sink. Bought all the parts on amazon.

I purchased 4 in order to be able to repair and adjust amplifiers that require 4 or 8 Ohm loads.Good precision:Resistance at 100 & 1kHz - R1:8.036, R2:8.003, R3:8.075, R4:8.020Resistance at 10kHz - R1:8.084, R2:8.052, R3:8.118, R4:8.071Make sure that you mount them on a big heat sink.

I've got one of these bolted to the metal frame of my workbench and routinely use it while biasing guitar amps and measuring their RMS output. It never gets more than just very slightly warm. I just drilled and tapped two holes on the frame for the bolts and mounted it without any heatsink compound. I like that it has built-in leads, which makes for a clean installation and leaves no exposed connections to accidentally get shorted out.

It does a great job of resisting the flow of electrons.My only complaint is the leads... they're stiff, and the connectors on the ends are not useful for amplifier testing... they don't fit a single one of my 10 or so various amps. I assume the intention is that you are supposed to mount this in some sort of enclosure. I'll probably do that eventually, but for now I have to jimmy rig it up with alligator clips every time. Meh. Still glad I bought it and would buy again.

Bought 6 of these total. Made a switchable dummy load . 4 8 and 16 ohm configuration. Definitely mount it to a heat sink if you're going to max ot the wattage. I have 6 mounted to and old stripped down automotive amp heat sink with a dc cooling fan. The right setup and I can run 150 watts into each one without problems. I can scope my repairs now without damaging my ears or an expensive vintage celestion. Very good quality.

WELL MADE. WORKS WELL. OURS OHMED OUT TO LESS THAN 5% TOLERANCE. IF MORE WATTAGE IS REQUIRED YOU CAN ADD MORE 'HEAT-SINK' TO IT.
