New DC 12k Clamp Test. ALL HATERS ENTER!


Recommended Posts

I just got done testing the 12k in 2 different applications.

The first test was done in the Mini Van with 4 XL 18s and 4 D3100s starting voltage 14.2.

The second test was done in my truck with 6 Level 3 15s and 5 D1400s starting voltage 15.4.

Van results: Starting ohm load is 1 ohm bridged

30hz- 49A x 141.7v= 6943.3 watts @ 2.89 ohms

35hz- 39.89a x 144v= 5744.16 watts @ 3.6 ohms

40hz- 46.8a x 137.8v= 6449 watts @ 2.94 ohms

45hz- 47.3a x 137.4v= 6499 watts @ 2.90 ohms

12k Rated power

1 ohm bridged 12v- 8400 watts

1 ohm bridged 14.4v- 11000 watts

1 ohm bridged 16v- 13000 watts

2 ohms bridged 14.4v- 6800 watts

4 ohms bridged 14.4v- 4200 watts

8 ohms bridged 14.4v- 2400 watts

Now for all of you that hate on those results saying "Im paying for 12000 watts but im not getting it so I am going to be an ass and flame the results"

This second test was done in my truck running 6 Level 3 15s starting ohm load of .67 bridged. Voltage started at 15.4 and dropped to 12.5.

30hz- 97a x 117v= 11349w @ 1.21 ohms

35hz- 95.2a x 123v= 11710w @ 1.29 ohms

40hz- 86a x 129v= 11094w @ 1.5 ohms

45hz- 78.2a x 134v= 10478w @ 1.71 ohms

I believe this is proof for all of those that hated on my original clamp numbers that the 12k is well worth the money you pay because it does well over rated power.

Nice! Thanks for testing dude!

Did you play it on music at 0.67 bridged?

Not much had a cop follow me almost the whole way back home. It sounded sick for the little bit i did get to hear.

Oh just to show what I gained by the drop in.

Score with the 7.5k. I am clamping about 8600w at my peak of 48hz

Score with 12k clamping about 10000w at my peak of 48hz

I know the signal is rather ugly on the 12k burp. Just to clarify, the amps were both set with the -15 40hz db tone and the DD1.
