kr15 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 The 9k's were fuckin beasts, and due to higher voltage stability, they would have higher potential then the 10k. That said, for those that are limited to 12v charging to maintain a classification for competing, then perhaps the 10k would be better. I think the low voltage thing veered off with DD because the amps are rated at 11.9v, and some at 12v where as the DC 10k is intended for a "12v system". And the m4a's are beast, ask Ray right above, he clamped a shade under 12k out of a pair strapped....all that said, fuck the bullshit ray, when are you going to put in 2 9s or 10s? 2 Quote Team Flex Issues Low tuning > God 2011 CALI AS1 STATE CHAMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 If you want HUGE power out of the 10k, it is stable up to 15.9v. You can run 14v batteries, you will just need to have adjustable voltage and run the charge down to 15.9v. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kr15 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Any clue what they can do around that voltage?... Ray, you should do that if you are able to upgrade, your still running 14v right?

Berto Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 You mad bro ? Yeah, a little at the time cuz everyone wanted to give smart ass answers instead of that \/ simple answer. Ok to clear up one thing that I think is eluding people. When we say that the 10k is a 12v amp, all that mean is that you cannot run it on a 14v or 16v system. For those of you that dont know, a 14v system charges at 16.8v and a 16v system charges at 19.2v. The 9k is stable UPTO 18v. This means that you can run a 12v system(charging at 14.8v), a 14v system(charging at 16.8v) or a 16v system(backed down and charging at 18v) When we say that the 10k is a 12v amp, that does not mean that it is meant to be run at 12v or below. All 12v setups should charge 13.8v-14.8v. And in that case I think I might take a10k when amp money comes.

gredysra Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Also I'm pretty sure rail voltages are higher on 10k meaning they do max wattage in the 12-14v parameters ..,were as 9k does more at higher voltage.. I'd like to see some heads up comparison tests .. Ill trade anyone my 2-7.5s for 9s or 10s i will put up my numbers when i get my 10k im already making almost 10k out of my 9k so we will see how the 10k matches up!

kr15 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 what they mean by rated at 11.9v is when they test it it rated that power with that voltage but try running that amp at 11.9v all day everyday and see what happens your stating the obvious, but I can almost assure that a DD amp is going to handle as much abuse as any on the market. Im running mine at .5 on stock electrical and a single xs3400 in the rear and have been doing so for over a year, and I get nasty voltage drop full tilt. It never protects, never gets hot etc. Now, I would NEVER suggest someone do what I do, nor would I ever tell someone that an 11.9v rating means they are stable to that kind of sustained abuse....but back to the topic of DC amps, I was merely pointing out the difference between a 12v rating and intentions for a "12v system" as there seemed to be some confusion... Im sure this 10k is going to be a monster and I would hope that most people who even consider these have over the top electrical, no point in frying an amp that will cost how knows how much, but im sure in the range of 2k$. People like Ray who would consider an amp like this are electrical nazi's; they will ensure that their amps are fed optimal juice...tuned in for results Quote Team Flex Issues Low tuning > God 2011 CALI AS1 STATE CHAMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 my only question is. is the amp a new model that is mono block or is it the 2 channel one that is on the DC website?
