clamping my aq2200d

[MIKE-2U]

My setup this week will change to 2 sa 10s at 1 ohm

[ellowmoto]

so i decided to watch Brian's (Audiofanaticz) video . If i followed it correctly this is what i got

30 Hz Test Tone.

DDM - 40.00 AC Voltage

Clamp Meter - 11.16 amps

X

-----------

= 446.4

x 4 ohms

------------

SUPPOSE TO BE 1,785.6 Watts RMS !!!?? is this right? out of a AQ 2200D !!??

if only the aq did that at 4 ohms something with your calculations is definitely wrong

[fecupe2001]

What was your voltage droppping to??

What was your voltage droppping to??

i used a 30 hx test tone off youtube for 35 seconds and i believe the lowest voltage was 13.0 volts. I had an sa 10 dual 4 ohm wirerd to an audioque 2200d @ 2 ohms . now i buoilt a box for 2 sa 10s so i will retest with another tone and see what i get if it warms up a bit.

You're not competing you really shouldnt worry about this stuff. If it sounds good and you like it live with it. If you want it louder by bigger or more subs. If you want more power in the current setup spend the money on a rockford or a JL amp that has a "constant power" type output. My brother with two 12s and a aq2200 in a blowthrough was only getting 350watts from his rising to almost 7-8 ohms. He was still doing a 149.7.

At 30 Hz your amp might not pull its max power rating. To push a sub at a slow 30Hz doesn't necessarily require TONS of power. Put that test tone up at 45-55 Hz and I'll just about guarantee that power goes up. It takes alot more energy to move that sub faster than it does slowly I'd think.

Seriously? :facepalm:

450 watts at 13v and 3.57 ohms is decent, it's rated power.
