you are asking how you can get 2000w out of your amp? well the simplest answer would be to do a bunch of electrical upgrades and run at about .2ohm. then after rise you will get close to 1ohm and then you will see rated power. you will also see smoke and smoke is bad.

the better answer would be; you wont get 2000w. you could do the above method but that would still only get you power for burps. you would barely see that on music since its dynamic.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

oh okay. but like even 1500 watts would be better than what i have. i will start by the big 3 upgrade and a new altornator then i should be fine...

add a clamp meter and DMM to that list. you can get cheap ones at harbor freight and they will work fine to find out how much power you are really getting.
