Clamping my amp


alibaba

Recommended Posts

wait a sec, if i recall I saw a video about taramps giving off electromagnetic fields that effect clamp meters. try and clamp the speaker wire as far as possible away from the case or do what he did in the video which was to run a ground to the heatsink and this made the emf stop.

i did have the clamp very close to the amp i hope that what it is cuz im very puzzled by this....n my hcca slams i get window flex n everything its nice n tyte

ur def right about that, right now im only using the clip indicator on the amp, but as soon as i see the clip light id turn it down 1 on the deck till the clip light is gone

but still this amp should still put out more than 500watts right? something is wrong with my setup

Well at least you have clip light.

Since your impedance isn't at one ohm you aren't ever going to get the full 2500 watts no matter what. You don't have to get the full listed wattage to get full power out of an amp though, and rarely will you. At 28.9 volts you are getting the 1 ohm equivalent of 835 watts, still a long way from 2500, but better than 500.

yeah thats a very long way from 2500

lol guys dont laugh but i figured out what i was doing wrong yesterday, i had the clamp around the 1 n only positive speaker wire which is right but the dmm i had on the power input of the amplifier...i guess u can call me dumb i didnt figure this out till midnite last nite n was just sitting there like wait a f******g min y would i hook it up to the power input when im checing for output LMFAO...

i just checked it n it was 60.x on the dmm n 20.x on the clamp so lil over 1200w on a 3ohm load @ 40hz

If you are getting over 60 volts on the sub outputs I'd be very happy with that.

it sure took a load off my mind, now i just have to beef up my electrical even more im waiting for my ct 4000.1 to come in the mail sometime next week so i gota get ready n get more batt reserve.

speaking about the ct 4000 it has dual power inputs, so do i run 2 runs of 0ga from the front battery into the 1 in the trunk or should i just laeve the 1 run of 0ga how it is now n just have 2 runs from the battery in the trunk?
