RooTxBeeR Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I can't seem to find anything about it. Would be cool to test but it would be an expensive type of test. One thing that makes it hard was well is many amps do not display any amount of efficiency, and if they do it's for 4 ohms. But I am curious if you have a system running 1000w at 4 ohms of resistance, compared to 1000w at a 1 ohm resistance. Would the amps be efficient enough to need such a smaller electrical that the price increase for the bigger amps justify it? I also have another question when it comes to incorporating efficiency ratings to your calculations for laying out your system. If you happen to know an efficiency, where does that come into play when equating? Before you see how much amperage pull, or after? When using power = amp * voltage when you only have power and voltage, looking for amperage.

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I don't pay much attention to efficiency because it is easy to fudge and as you said, given at 4 ohms or something else nobody would run. I would guess that the efficiency gained by running at higher impedance would cost more in amplifier than a less efficient amp at lower impedance would cost in charging / batteries. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
