So far... Ive heard of one fatality, and it was shipping.

Not even shitting.

Also,... people running these, run the fuck outta them. And so far, .... ive heard very very very little. No shit.

(i still like our other plan dude... just me)

WE will see I'm not set on anything but I'm going to hate not jumping on all the pieces this spring if I can help it.

Tempted to run this instead of my AB 1100.1......

At least you had a train. I'm still working on putting some tracks down!

lol ..

maybe ill have my friend look at this amp instead running the dc10k on the 2 team fis hes talking about getting even though i told him to do 2 5ks lol

What was your reasoning to run two 5ks vs the 10k other than the obvious of pulling a little more total power......I was debating this same situation (going to be running 2 team Fi's) but wanted to avoid having to gain match etc if running to each sub and didn't want to strap em (this was also advice given to me on here).....just curious.

just because i see used ones for sale often

If your buddy runs 14v bats, do the 2 5ks. If 12v, run this or the 10k.

10k smashes @ 12v. There are differences. ;)

I liked the 10k a lot when I ran it.

I'm happy with my ampere 3800's also.

thanks for the info

I ran two DC 5.0ks on two Fi Teams. Power output below 14.5v is greatly diminished. The 10k is going to supposedly offer more power on lower voltage than two 5.0ks, so unless your buddy has extremely solid voltage with little drop, you might be thinking backwards. Regardless, the TFE will put out 8k with certainty after voltage drop and I have to appreciate Taylor's explanation of the rating and agree with the logic. 8k should be 8k, not 8k unless..., or 8k if....

mine was just because i see them for sale often... solid we will see it should be steady though

and thanks for the info
