SnowDrifter Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 Yeah they do. Not cheap though, unfortunatelyPretty much any multimeter should be able to measure AC volts though. At least accurate enough for this ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
n8ball2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 amp is more efficient. plus .25 is about double the current draw from .5 theoretically for very little gain. im sure someone will come in and give you a more techincal reason.

FCS530 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 Now are we talking 750 (seven fifty) watts or 7500 (seventy five hundred)? I dont think your going to see much of anything happen with 750 watts? Several systems, several vehicles.

Nikitaaa Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Posted August 13, 2013 Thanks guys. I'm going to burp my peak frequency and check out ac voltage at the amp. The only problem with that is I won't be able to rev the engine. Oh and at idle I don't drop below battery resting voltage at full tilt. 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw

I dont think your going to see much of anything happen with 750 watts? AB 750.1 does 7500 Watts.I just hear all these stories about people saying these big amps pull so much current and you need huge electrical but I'm honestly not seeing that. My electrical is mediocre compared to most and I have less voltage drop. Hmmm, this is frustrating. 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw

(comparison to if he had ONE) I know DC alts are beast for sure... Put a clamp on that, WHEN your hammering it.. and see what that alt is putting out... And, do what snowdrifter suggested. I have a shit ton more elec than you, and plan to see a tick over 13v. That is MY GOAL..... lol.... to me, you should be sinkin what you have.. Just me...
