ALPINE408 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Can you wire to 2 ohm and re clamp the amp would love to see those results Have you ever had your woofers blown?
hdorre Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 it has never caused any issues for me at all. Other than the time my ground was loose Thats good to hear. DAMN!!! I knew those 8's were badass, but holy crap. I didn't think they could take all that. I wonder long they would last being pushed like that. Me too.. maybe Ill find out. OK, where can I read about box rise, since I've never heard of it before 5 minutes ago. Try searching. There's a bar in the upper right corner of every SMD webpage. remember if the amp gets hot its doing its job. its a heat sink. You bring up a good point. I clamped my T2500-1bdcp two weeks ago. Wired to .5 nominal on my XL's. 2564 watts rising to 1.6-ohms at 42Hz dropping to 12.2V. I was very happy with those results. Birthsheet said 3,3XX watts, but that was also at 14.4V with no rise. Rated power at 1.6-ohms and 12.2V works for me. Id be happy just to get rated. I wouldnt think twice about the birthsheet. Thanks for sharing your clamp test. Has anyone else clamped a Constant Power amp? Can you wire to 2 ohm and re clamp the amp would love to see those results Me too!

hdorre Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 Guys, I was just thinking.. Ill be using my Rockford 3Sixty.2.. If the amp is too much, I could have the subs at -(0-40) dBr. Ill compete, so for daily driving Ill quiet down the subs with the 3Sixty, but before shows have them at -0 dBr. love my T2500BDCP, im sure youll be happy with the amp and those subs. i have 2 SA-8" V.2 sititn on my shelf waiting to be used in my new truck Thats good to hear. What wound up being wrong with ur amp? Have your played with the subs at all yet? When you start the build, PLEASE make a build log hahah I love your Sierra 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
Zapanater Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Amps getting hot? No way. Try running an old school quarter ohm stable cheater amp. Turn on your AC because it's gonna get hot in there. I kid you not haha. You'll get burnt just from touching it for a moment. 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.

HHR Ed Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 If you MUST wire to 2 or 4 ohms it is beneficial. But at 1 ohm, CP's are the same as the previous model. actually when you consider the amount of box rise that your amp does not "see", it is a truly different amp then the previous model. Its NOT a gimmick, its the real deal. Don't mistake this technology for that old JL audio thing everyone tries to compare it to. This is totally different. This is very true. The CP's design allows it to combat box rise more than most any other amp.

hdorre Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 This is very true. The CP's design allows it to combat box rise more than most any other amp. Ed, do you care to briefly explain how "Constant Power" works, or is it really complicated? Is the gain essentially just automatically changed as impedance and frequency change?

alaskanzx5 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 ive got a t1500.1bdcp wired at 1ohm powering 2 t2 12s never clamped or anything but it does get hot, only on the outer edge while the center is warm but still easily touchable. if im not mistaking though isnt the outer edge the heat sink? which is why it would be hot. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
