Dax Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Has anyone clamped a 3500K or any amp from DC? Just want to get some ideas of what power I might be seeing. A 3500K?? Thats like 3,500,000 watts right? LOL I'll yake that one with the next truck load of lvl 6's please Quote The Midget Looks Into Your Soul 2008 Dodge am 3500HD with the 6.7 Cummins Race Me tuner, dpf deleted kenwood double din cheap walmart speakers for now(infinity reference comps comps coming soon) 2 kicker L5's in a ported box of unknown tuning lol(soon to be changed) Power acoustic 1500.1 on the subs (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ18 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 You will get rated power at reactive 1 ohm and 12v. I clamped almost 10k from my 7.5k at 16v. ok I run mines at 1ohm and 15v. There is a difference in nominal 1 ohm and reactive 1 ohm. Nominal is starting ohm load and reactive is the changing ohm load under power.

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 1.2 = 1,200 watts 2.0 = 2,000 watts 3.5 = 3,500 watts 5.0 = 5,000 watts 7.5 = 7,500 watts 9.0 = 9,000 watts ETC this guy right here. knows his stuff. Clearly he has tested all of the DC amps. haha (not making fun of you) ha I like this. If you need 5000watts dont get a 3.5k just to save some money and hope it puts out that much just because someone else said they got that much out of it. Everyone's electrical is different and with box rise and every other factor that you have to consider you cant just assume your gonna get a certain amount of power out of an amp that is not rated at. if that makes sense. Just get what you need and hope for some more. Just my thoughts...

I know you can expect more out of these amps, but if you need 5,000 watts....get a 5,000 watt amp. Just my $0.02 Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
