Im sure its a great amp . The name is just misleading

yes and no, the ouput looks great on it, but you have to wire it SUPER low and be able to run 16v+ to reach its potential

i'm still somewhat confused...it's making like 6500w between the 2 channels after rise? i'm really just trying to figure out why it's called the 12k if it's making the same power as the 7.5k...(if i'm reading all this right.)

I am going to be clamping my 7.5k twice. Once tomorrow to see current power and rise and once in about a week once the subs break in to see the change.

he is getting 30hz 44a 71v 3124x2 @ 1.61ohm per channel

thats 6k

not 6k per channel.

he was wired at .5 per channel.

he would have to wire down to .2 or so per channel in order to get 12 clamped.

I will actually be trying this once my subs break in. I have a final .66 ohm load which I can bridge and see .33 per channel. I am running 14v batteries so I will be able to regulate my voltage to see the power at different voltages.

Im sure its a great amp . The name is just misleading

yes and no, the ouput looks great on it, but you have to wire it SUPER low and be able to run 16v+ to reach its potential

It is not recommended to run the 12k any higher than 16.0v.

Ray why so much negativity towards this amp?

I cant remember amperage or voltage (ill see if i can get this later on)

but at 40 htz with my 12k wired to .25 ohm bridged (not per channel) i had a 1.7 ohm rise and got 6405 watts out of it and scored a 156 in the kick. before when i had my 5ks strapped at 1 ohm i actually put out MORE power had about a 5 ohm box rise and hit less of a score. more power doesnt always mean more DB. i was able to get 7700 out of my strapped 5ks at 1 ohm and almost a 5 ohm rise and i was only hitting mid 154s in the kick.
