DSK WhyteOut Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Ok so I wasn't intentionally trying to start a VS topic so I should've worded it differently. I upgraded from a 500bd to a 1.2k on 2 level 3 D4 10's thinking I would get a noticeable difference. I just wanted to see if it being stock electrical would be holding that amp back. Not rying to bash any names as I am a big fan of both. Just wanted to see what others experiences were with the 1.2K. Thanks Quote DSK WhyteOut
ChevyBoy95 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 how do you set your gains? there should be a difference. also some stock electrical cant handle even 1200 rms so voltage drop could be something too.

mhart Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 did you run the RF at 1 ohm? Quote '00 Honda Civic Si IASCA stock trunk/pickup 1 World Record 4/20 150.6/150.7dBTeam DC Team XS Power Team ISB Steve's Body Shophttp://www.dcsoundlab.com/
DSK WhyteOut Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Posted October 24, 2011 Just by ear so far was doing in the dark last night. They're run at 1 ohm on both just swapped the amp straight out. Will play with it some more, just expected a big jump. Quote DSK WhyteOut
mhart Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 well if the RF was a T5001bd, it probably made around 1000-1200 watts. Quote '00 Honda Civic Si IASCA stock trunk/pickup 1 World Record 4/20 150.6/150.7dBTeam DC Team XS Power Team ISB Steve's Body Shophttp://www.dcsoundlab.com/
DSK WhyteOut Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Posted October 26, 2011 Well he decided to rip everything apart and start over, so I will have to wait until tomorrow when he finishes to go do more testing but we added an Kinetic HC800 and will see what happens. We'll let you know. Thanks Quote DSK WhyteOut
andnowforme Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I had an older t1000bd and switched to a 1.2k. I did gain a bit of power but the biggest difference was how much more efficient the dc amp was. I had some voltage drop with the rf but with the dc, none at all. It seems the dc didn't need to draw as much voltage to maintain the power. Quote
