CJ18 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Disclaimer: The following was done with full understanding of the risks and knowingly voided my warranty. I ran the 12k at .5 bridged for about 6 months before I decided I wanted more power and went to 2 7.5ks. Took it like a champ. This was backed by 2 singer 400A alternators and 8 XS D1400s as well. Voltage never dropped below 14.8v. So here is the real question, are you willing to pay a $500 repair bill if you blow it? If so, I say go for it. i would say 14.8 volts on 14v batteries is low. not to mention you had 2 400a alternators.. this guy has 380a. we stated before that he needs at least 2 350a alternators. you had 800a. you had more alternator power and still dropped low.. i wouldnt recommend it unless he had the power to back it up Not low at all. You have to remember that the 12k was a 12v amp with a 15.3v ceiling. My set point was 15.1v not the typical 16.8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyblack76 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Few questions -have you ever ran an amp at .5 ohm -do you have the electrical to back it up -do you have a need to run it at .5 ohm 12k is a bridged amp.... two smaller boards.. I know chode runs his low.. but.... i wouldnt..... no way... its like bridging a amp half rated.... fuck that.. 2 smaller boards? If I remember correctly, the 12k was a 2 channel amplifier, not 2 internally strapped boards. Ok. Its a 2 channel sub amp. meh.... anyway... start them back up for production !!? seems theres interest. !!!

corona_jeff Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 12k was replaced by the 10k which stomps its ass on 12v, biggest complaint from customers was the 12k wasn't strappable. My suggestion. Instead of running an amp into the dirt to get power why not buy a second amp? By the time to repair the single amps 2 or 3 times from running it into the ground, I'm sure it would cover the cost of the second amp anyways 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I been preaching this every time i see someone asking if it's okay to wire a 1.5k amp at. 05.. I think they will have better results buying a 2.5k amp. Want more power run a bigger amp that will be more efficient running it at the appropriate load Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
