Yes, but it is an amp that claims over 15k....

lol, just at fucking 390V

lol even if tony wanted to test it hed have to wire 30 batteries in series and an additional 30 in parallel

Just trying to stirthepot.gif a little :D lol

EDIT: Trying to stir the pot a little bit is what I'm getting at. Me+tired+bored at work is not a good mix.

Can you prove this amp wrong?

Zapco ZX 26KD

Mono, 1 ohm: 1 x 14500 Watts (12 volts)

Mono, 1 ohm: 1 x 20000 Watts (14.4 volts)

Mono, 1 ohm: 1 x 22000 Watts (16 volts)

T.H.D. + Noise: <1% @ 1 ohms.

In all fairness to this amplifier, I've never tested one so can't say for sure. Although, basic math would suggest it isn't possible. From their published data: 20kw @ 14.4V with 86% eff. = 20,000 / .86 = 23,255 watts input / 14.4V = 1615 Amps DC. / Three 0 AWG = 538A per 0 AWG. Maybe possible, sounds a little sketchy. But the devil is in the details. That efficency rating is at 4 ohms. At 1 ohm it will be around 65%. They don't mention that. Now doing the same math with real numbers we see that we would need 2136A at 14.4V. This isn't happening on 3 runs of 1/0.

Where do you see that? I didn't see anything like that. Here are the specs they listed.

Features S80 Number of Channels 1 RMS Power at 0.5 Ohm 60.370 Watts @ 226V RMS Power at 0.8 Ohm 84.900 Watts @ 340V RMS Power at 1 Ohm 30.190 Watts @ 226V RMS Power at 2 Ohm 33.960 Watts @ 340V / 15.090 Watts @ 226V RMS Power at 4 Ohm 16.980 Watts @ 340V Supply Voltage 390V Frequency Response 10 Hz ~ 3,5KHz Crossover Low Pass 50 Hz ~ 3,5KHz Signal to Noise > 90 dB Harmonic Distortion < 0,9 % THD Input Sensitivity 0,2V Input Impedance 20K Ohms Impedance Output 0,8 OHM - 27 Bat. -340V / 0,5 Ohm - 18 Bat - 226V Bat. Automotive / Musical Signal 70A Bat. Stationary / Musical Signal 130A Consumption with Signal Bass 1,8 ~ 260A Subsonic Filter 10Hz - 80 Hz Dimensions (H x W x D) mm 77 x 500 x 491 Weight Kg 12 Kg

It says 16.xx watts, not 16K watts....

Not picking on any particular brands, though I may call attention to some to show an example. Lying about your product bugs me, but when they claim to be over 15kW things get a bit personal for me. (if you know me you know why)

I stumbled on a great example this morning http://www.wooferwarehouse.com/Stetsom-14K2E-Amplifier--1-Ohm-12V_p_120.html

They claim 16,200 Watts at 13.8V. I can't wait for someone to dyno one of these, I'm so tried of hearing numbers like 15k, 20k, 25k thrown around like it's no big deal. I am totally confident that there is only 1 mobile audio amplifier that can play music that makes 15k+ on 13.8V.

Unfortunatly in the mobile audio world today, "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't apply. The game has changed, the tape measure is here. You are guilty until provent innocent. Dyno it. Prove it.

I love my staffie :good:

So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny

It gets better than that

Zapco says its current consumption is only 600 amps :lol2:

Don't get me wrong but come on 600 amp draw and producing 14k
