Purplehaze Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) I was just wondering if anyone knows about what kind of power a DC 5K will do @3 ohm? I figured about 1500 - 2K, that sound about right?

CJ18 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 If I had to guess, I would say 1600w at 12v and around 2000w at 14.4v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Mathematically, around 1600wrms at 14.4 volts... but of course these amps are underrated. Also, there are obviously many variables and factors that need to be accounted for... like voltage drop Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 1500ish probably, but that would be at 14.4 volts. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Cool, so should I wire my subs up to 3(before rise) or leave them wired @1.34? I get my amp tomorrow, is the reason I ask. They are 3 12" L5's rated @600rms each. And electric is so so right now, got a MLA and a 200 amp alt, but kinda low on the batts, w only 2 Kinetics (But I'll watch it VERY CLOSLY!) And just in case anyone is wondering, this amp was bought to run 2 18" DC XL's, but I won't own them for a min. So... Thanks again guys!

new guy Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 if you car about the subs and dont want to risk blowing them run at 3 ohms. if you are a real bass head run at 1.34 Quote *current* 1991 honda crx si 2 skar audio 12s pioneer 6.5s dual 400 watt amp audio technix db 1/0 wiring kit. dual head unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 if you car about the subs and dont want to risk blowing them run at 3 ohms. if you are a real bass head run at 1.34 Lol That is the perfect answer! I think I'll try 3ohms first, then if that ain't good enough, I will wire down. Thanks for the laugh!

kickass audio Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Now just because i do it doesnt mean you should but my dc 5.0k is wired to .5 ohns nominal and rises to about 1.2 ohms. Now my setup is really weird because when i clamp it, i barely have any power at the lower freqs but the higher freqs have a crap ton of power on them. I clamped about 6kw of power at i believe a 40-50Hz tone, idr, but my voltage was 13.5. Those amps can take a beating and love every minute of it.
