Berto Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 How does the 10k compare to the 9k on lower voltage (under 14v)? 10k is rated at 12v 9k is rated at 14v The specs CJ posted said 14v.

will77530 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) The 10.0kw competition series amplifier is a 10,000 watt mono block. It is built for 12 volt audio systems. not rated at ut designed for i spoke wrong Edited December 26, 2012 by will77530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08tahoe Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 How does the 10k compare to the 9k on lower voltage (under 14v)? 10k is rated at 12v 9k is rated at 14v Where does it say the 10.0k is rated at 12v? Because cj just posted that its rated at 10,000 watts x1 at 1ohm at 14.4v and that's what it sais on dc's websight. And the 9.0k is rated at 9,000 watts x1 at 1ohm at 14.4v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I know what the posted specs say, but it has been proven that all of the DC amps will put out rated power at 12v. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you wanna run an amplifier like this at low voltage? Although its been done, ea time it just shortens the life just a little by more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I agree with Jeff. Why would you spend the money on a 10k amp and not feed it the current that it wants? That just doesnt make sense. If you are going to run it at 9-11v, just buy a 5k and keep it happy, you will probably see the same amount of power.

If it shouldn't be used at lower voltage then why claim it to be a lower voltage amp? Quote TEAM FLEX ISSUES Car: 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal 24" Rims HU: 7" Carputer, Planet Audio EQ, iPhone.
