TheNewbie Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Alright well i was told how to tell if the RMS on the amp is truely what it states, but i can't seem to remember how to do that. Could someone explain to me how to tell if the amp truely puts out the clean rms or wattage it says it does?

matt402 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 u could multiply the fuse & rated voltage. test with a dmm alone. OR clamp power with a dmm & clamp meter... (< actual power).
TheNewbie Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Im looking more for before buy it, and the fuse rating i cant see to be accurate i had a crunch 2000w fuse rating was 25 25 25 25 so that's 1000 right? But i was clipping at prob 250watts maybe not even that.And not sure whatcha mean about the voltage mate Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

TheNewbie Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 So since it would come from a 12v battery i would times it by 12? Also how does that assure it's clean power? Thanks for the help. Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

You need to use a oscilloscope or something similar to make sure your power is clean. Also, you should probably purchase a voltage meter.
TheNewbie Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Alright thanks man, i hope my dc 2k will have 1600 watts rms of clean power. Appreciate your guys's help thanks again. Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

TheNewbie Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Imma have the shop install it just to be sure plus i don't have an o scope, that smd dd1 seems like it's a wonderful tool, i gotta get my setup first before i think about getting that though Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.
