PardeTime Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 OK so I need some help. Right now I'm running an oldschool quantum 3500d monoblock. My subs are the newer re se pro series 12" wired at 1 ohm. I had my amp clamped at the last comp and they said it was at 820 Watts. Wtf. Anyways I want a new one, But am pretty broke due to the purchase of the new subs. Here's What I'm looking at now. http://mobile.shopping.com/productDetail.html?productId=108075374 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003820YZ8/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=asc_df_B003820YZ82087676&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=dealt439642-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B003820YZ8 http://mobile.shopping.com/productDetail.html?productId=108075373 http://lincoln.craigslist.org/ele/3099677827.html I'm not sure which one to get. I'd really like advice. Please help. Quote
Guest Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) you have this? http://www.amazon.co...r/dp/B0030DBOEK this amp has 2 30 amp fuses. so that 800w number sounds about right. although something tells me you're clipping a little to get that number. if you want something to power them, look at an audioque 1200.

SnowDrifter Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 820 watts at what impedance?

PardeTime Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Posted July 9, 2012 Wired at 1 ohm. And my volts read 13.3 steady. Quote
Guest Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 Wired at 1 ohm. And my volts read 13.3 steady. no he means what impedance while they were clamping the amp. no way in hell your amp was seeing 1 ohm while you were burping or whatever while the test was going on. amps almost NEVER (like 99% of the time) see the wired impedance load while playing music. that 1 ohm can easily reach 4 ohms on music Quote
PardeTime Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Posted July 9, 2012 I'd love an aq or dc, however I can't find them online. Also the prices sound out of my range. The stereo store I got my subs from say I should get the db drive. I don't want to want anymore money on junk though. Quote
Guest Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 with 13.3v and guessing around 75% amplifier efficiency, i get 600w at 1 ohm. so you must be clipping the crap out of your amp to get that 800w figure. Quote
PardeTime Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Posted July 9, 2012 I'm not sure of the question then. I had a bass CDs on at 40 hrz. I'm not sure of the exact load at the time he was clamped? Quote

The stereo store I got my subs from say I should get the db drive. I don't want to want anymore money on junk though. audioque.com dcsoundlab.com you have to call/email dc to get a price. you pay for quality products. you buy cheap, you get cheap. that quantum amp you have, amazon has it for $190. $190 for an amp that does like 700w clean on a good day. you can spend less than twice that much, and get an aq1200 where you're guaranteed to have a 1200w amp that has twice the amount of fusing as your current one. not some bullshit amp that says it'll do 1750w with 60amps worth of fusing.
