Sundown Audio

Recommended Posts

My (4) Zv4 18s came in yesterday. Im running 2 at the moment on an NS1. 2 of them are laughing at my NS1. Ive been beating the shiz out of them and they barely get warm and havent smelled a coil.

Well your bc3500 has the potential to give the subs (Minimum RATED),after impedance rise,electrical efficiency & enclosure efficiency you probably have never given them minimum rated power. A bc5500 will surely be more suitable especially since you won't need to clip the signal to actually get them suckers moving,however if you do clip the signal at those power levels you will have to be very careful.

I think some of you and your buddies grossly overestimate how much power these subs are seeing on a daily basis. Lol.

But I'll agree with Jacob on this one (obviously). You'd definitely get them into trouble mechanically before you thermal it on clean power. And mechanical limits are more easily recognizeable. But clipping is a bitch. I've gotten one stinky on 2k clipped before it reached mechanical limits.

I know a guy named Nic Watts from Jacksonville who's feeding an Everest 5k on each zv4 12, he has 4 zv4 12's on 4 5k's in a 4th order, and the setup is very musical. Those zv4's can take an ass load of power.

Uhh....sorry bro, but thats clamped power. Strapped together, 3245w at 2.5ohm at 10.8v. I can vid to prove it to you bro. I've got 1330w at 2.7ohm out of 1 alone. I also have a fellow competitor that got just over 2k at .5ohm on 1 asa1500. So research a little before you try to call me a liar or down my equipment. Powerbass amps are very good amps. Very clean and unrated on good electrical. And that's coming from a devoted sundown owner.
