Garry Anderson Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 I have 2 DC 5k and 4 DC Level 4s. I am having a major deliema. It seems like my amps arent producing. I clamped it last night Voltage drop was at idle 14.55 dropped to 12.98 and AC out put was 349. That only 5000 for both amps. I have 4 kinetik 1800 batteries and a 250 Amp HO Alt. I have all 0 AWG, and I have 8 AWG ran to my speakers. I plan on adding more batteries, but I still thought I would be producing more power accross two amps than that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
JustinWilson Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 Nominal ohm load vs. reactive ohm load...I am assuming your rise is putting you somewhere that the 5k's do not like to produce at. Also more battery would be key imo.

Garry Anderson Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Are you asking for resting imp and imp rise. The resting imp is 1.4 and I dont know what the imp rise is. How do I figure that out? Ok I figured it out and you were right my IMP rise is 1.4+2.86 which is 4.26 and the amps only do 2300 watts at 2 ohms. I have these bolts on the side of my box so I can change the IMP would those cause that much resistance to make the rise that high. Edited August 15, 2012 by Garry Anderson Quote
CJ18 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 You need a Clamp Meter and a TRMS DMM to properly clamp the amps. You most likely just have crazy rise that is causing this. Quote
Garry Anderson Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Posted August 15, 2012 Did you see my edit? From the numbers I wroted down last night I think my imp rise is 2.86 + 1.4 =4.26. But I need help on how to get it down. I have these Zinc bolts on the side of my box to change the ohm load do those create that much resistance? Quote
CJ18 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 Ahh I missed that. What tone did you use to clamp the amp and what did you get? If you clamped the amp, then that will tell you the reactive ohm load and actual power put out. Quote
CJ18 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 What amperage and voltage numbers did you get? Quote
Garry Anderson Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) 100AC and 34.9 AMPs Thanks for the help. Edited August 15, 2012 by Garry Anderson Quote
