ilovetoinstall Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 My snap on volt meter on my bus bars then double checked with the o scope lol then the voltage is read thru my stinger volt meter on my dash connected and set to the same exact voltage as the rear bank my amps not pegged I don't want to peg it all I was trying to figure out is which is the better of the two to keep the 4 vfl's or the 12k Quote Greg, Triple C Auto Niagara Falls NY Under construction2002 Chevy Suburban pioneer 8000NEX 3 Sets of ARC Audio 6000 components in custom front doors 2 Powerbass midrange in center council 4 Super tweets 2 Focal 900.6 6 channels 4 American Bass VFL Comp 15's (currently running 2) DC 12.0k DC Power dual alt bracket 2 XS Power D3400's under the hood 3 C&D technologies 110ah in rear along with multiple runs of 0 AWG OFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ18 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 If anyone would like to argue, please bring facts that you can prove through personal experience or testing. What someone else did that you saw posted on facebook or youtube is not credible data to base an argument on. I read a post about an argument about the 12k with chode(nick). Nick used the amplifier and knows what it was able to handle. He has credible experience with the amplifier to base his argument on. Personal experience trumps opinion with no factual backing.

CJ18 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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...
