mattp Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The DC 270sp's put out about 135 amps at idle, NOT 180... DC power Page says 180 at idle...

Id get rid of your current rear batteries and put the biggest one you can fit up front, then one XS D3100 in the rear should do it, but for that kind of amperage draw, you may want two. You may want to consider new amps though too...I think the SD 12k has a max amperage draw of 1000 amps...yours doesnt put out near half as much power as that but is over half the amperage draw?

I have been thinking bout getting new amp/amps. I was thinking bout DC..

fox_racin4 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 IMHO SD12k for DAILY not a good option.... ask boilermaker about them My experiance with an SD8k.... my aq3500.1 was louder, sounded better, Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 do you think I would be ok if I added just another another dc 270sp?

tonedeaf Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 IMHO SD12k for DAILY not a good option.... ask boilermaker about them My experiance with an SD8k.... my aq3500.1 was louder, sounded better, Moneybags (the SD rep on here) was running two 8 or 12ks daily and now runs two 16ks daily @ 18v with no issues. Boiler used the 16ks. Theres a handful of other guys on here that use and love their SD 8-12ks. Very few use the 16ks daily though...I think skittles may have clamped his 12k and its putting out far more than his last amp with less voltage drop. (maybe you had more drop or higher rise than the AQ , just dont see a 4k amp being louder than a correctly functioning/correctly powered 8k+ amp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_racin4 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Voltage stayed mid 13s clip light was going crazy subs heated up in about 30seconds Tried everything to minimize clipping... nothing seemed to help... like i said...my opinion Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
