Clamping my amp

Recommended Posts

so i went out today with ampmeter n multimeter to clamp my amp to see what kind of numbers is pushing, its a taramps hd2500, i put the multimeter on the pos n neg on the amp and the clamp around my sub positive n this is the numbers i get 28.9x17.6a=508.64 is that right or am i doing something wrong? if its right then fuck i got a 250a alt, big 3 w/ 1/0 everywhere and currently only 1 xs power 5100 but still it should be pushing out more, also this was at 40hz and the gain about half way, when i went to 30hz i turned the gain up n got slightly beter numbers but not much, what do u guys think the problem is here?

how many wires do you have coming off the amp, speaker wire wise? did you make sure to grab both positive wires if there were more than one? if not you sound like you have it right

the dmm went to pos n neg terminals on the amp, and the clamp around the positive wire going to the sub
