TRTC360 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 What would you consider acceptable drop? My DC 3.5k is wired to .5 and the lowest I drop is low 13's would you say thats steady enough to keep the amp working good? It hasn't gotten hot at all and has never gone into protect.

Sanitarium Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 low 13's is still healthy. i personally don't worry till i see low 12's. Quote
TRTC360 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) 185 amp alt, small batt up front, 105ah powerware batt in the back, gains are very low though, subs are getting hell. Current draw at 1 ohm I believe is 350 amps.

n8ball2013 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 you must have your gains way low. Its fused for 300 amps which means its probably about 250 amps of current draw. at .5 its closer to 400 if not more That's quite a bit so just keep that in mind. Arent the skars rated at like 800 watts?

TRTC360 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Gain is low and sub level is at 0 I think the amp has rca input issues because when I had it wired to 2 ohm (1700 rms rated) it wasn't giving the subs much power until I cranked the sub level to +7 which then turned the clip light on through any song, wired at .5 1/4 gain, is more than enough power right now if I turn the sub level up to +5 it instantly drops to low 11s. I have 2 more of the 105ah powerware batts that I have yet to install, the subs are conservatively rated at 600rms each. But I keep my eye on them all the time.

n8ball2013 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 almost all head units give you full preout voltage turned up all the way. I dont get full voltage out on my ddx-516 til its turned up all the way. Im not sure where the misconception of sublevel on 0 started but it is wrong.
