Ahmed Johnson Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 So wait, these amps need a voltage drop every now and then to function properly?
dharris2488 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Posted July 15, 2014 To be honest, you shouldn't have that bad of a drop with all your equipment. You might want to check a few things out before getting another amp. I forgot to mention, I have a regulated alternator at 13.4-13.6 usually. I've seen it get up to 14 on occasion, but not for long. So, I'm already starting a volt down.... 2013 Toyota Camry SE 240a MechMan HO Alternator 1/0 Welding Flex Cable Big 3 CT Sounds 4000.1D Kenwood XR400-4 Mid/High Amp SoundQubed Q4-120 Mid Amp Infinity Kappa 6.5 components Kappa 6x9's for rear deck fill (coming out) (4) 8" PRV 8MB450's Set of SoundQubed SuperTweets (2) DSS Ethos 12's D2's @32.5hz (building 4th order enclosure) (2) SQ HDC3 10's @ 33.5hz (current build, loving them) Pioneer AVH-X4600BT 100 sq/ft Stinger RoadKill Sound Deadner 120 sq/ft QMat Sound Deadener (4) Juice Box Black Cherries Lots and Lots of feet of SHCA wire, along with 50' of Welding 1/0 2 Runs of 1/0 Positive front to back ToolMaker Everywhere
dharris2488 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Posted July 15, 2014 So, the only pictures I've seen of these amps, they only had one set of power and grounds. Is that ok? I assume it is since nobody has mentioned it... I've got to run, so I will pick this up again in the morning. Sorry to run...

I assume it is since nobody has mentioned it... I've got to run, so I will pick this up again in the morning. Sorry to run... Thanks for the info so far! I believe it has 2/0 gauge power/grounds. Should be good with 1 run of 2/0
dharris2488 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Posted July 15, 2014 I've heard a lot of good things about them but similar to what I ran into w/ SD amps, they're pretty power hungry but do every bit of rated and some more. Power hungry? Not sure if srs Efficiency? ha these amps are running laps around that Considering I can run a Taramps 3k on a stock 150a alt, with a 65ah agm under hood and 1/0 welding cable, I'd say power hungry is incorrect not power hungry but they don't like low voltage. well this info helps a lot... Thanks. So they engineered them to operate under lower voltage and then to boost that voltage. This would probably work great in my application with another battery to protect from low voltage drops.

Hopefully this will shy you away from the rumors of the fix filter below 30hz But that takes enclosure into play. That might actually support the 30Hz filter to some eyes. I'm sure they have a free-air test somewhere, some sort of graph they've done, right? "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

This sounds/looks good. I've seen your setup on YouTube Sencheezy, and I must say it's quite impressive. This is actually where I saw the amp the first time and started to do some research on them. Everything looks to be legit, especially for those with regulated alt's that will never ever see 14.4-15 volts without mod's... 2013 Toyota Camry SE 240a MechMan HO Alternator 1/0 Welding Flex Cable Big 3 CT Sounds 4000.1D Kenwood XR400-4 Mid/High Amp SoundQubed Q4-120 Mid Amp Infinity Kappa 6.5 components Kappa 6x9's for rear deck fill (coming out) (4) 8" PRV 8MB450's Set of SoundQubed SuperTweets (2) DSS Ethos 12's D2's @32.5hz (building 4th order enclosure) (2) SQ HDC3 10's @ 33.5hz (current build, loving them) Pioneer AVH-X4600BT 100 sq/ft Stinger RoadKill Sound Deadner 120 sq/ft QMat Sound Deadener (4) Juice Box Black Cherries Lots and Lots of feet of SHCA wire, along with 50' of Welding 1/0 2 Runs of 1/0 Positive front to back ToolMaker Everywhere
