amp benching setup

PPL, I'm intrested in learning how to bench test amps, so far I just picked up a Pyramid PS52KX power supply, what else do I need to purchase and.. learning how to do this, is it difficult? I know very little about ohms, watts etc. but I would like to learn how to do this. suggestions please.

www.bcae1.com   great site with simple explanations.

I've visited this site many times and it has taught me many things but it does not answer my question. What tools do I need to bench test my amp? besides a power source?

You need:

an accurate voltmeter
an oscilloscope
a speaker simulator
a 200 watt, 4 ohm resistor
a BIG power supply - start with 100 amps
a signal source - an old HU or PC work well
time - LOTS of time
knowledge - more than you have, and it can get expensive for schooling
patience
a customer base - otherwise it is not really worth all the expense

I've done it myself in the past, and it is can be WAY more bother than it's worth. I took 6 months of electronics school, and I have a military electronics background. I will tell you it can be a difficult road to travel!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

dwarren,
My bad, I did not check well enough, I found the info.. it was just what the doctor ordered.. sorry about the dbl reply.

I think your right! This is something beyond my level, it would be nice to know how but some of the tools are way too much for me to purchase for just personal usage. Thanks again.
