IH8PunkRok Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I buy the best we can get locally. I've got my Digital Designs Z series amps on the way and T40001 Rockford sitting on my floor for a rainy day, they're a lovely amp! On topic though, loading down to 1ohm will certainly prove whether or not your fuse is up to the task. ill prolly refuse it when i change it to one ohmthe amp can take 160 amps so wut should i fuse it at? -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafdreamz Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Ouch bud, i wouldnt run 1000 watts with 4 gauge wire but thats just me. Id go with a 100amp fuse.

Id go with a 100amp fuse.i am planning on upgrading it cause this is a kit i got from wally worldim goin wit 2 runs of 0 gauge. why 2? why not money is the reason i dont have it now -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyjoker Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 stop fighting u 2 im glad ur both helping me both equations are rough estimates technically. either way the amp is way off the power i need so ima run it at 1 ohm (and it is stable at 1 ohm deafdreamz) supposed to be 2300 but its more like 1600 1600?? i thought that this amp put out at least 2000 rms at 1 ohm 1999 Eclipse N/T 12'' Fi BTL Gp3000d PM D3100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH8PunkRok Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 1600?? i thought that this amp put out at least 2000 rms at 1 ohm i read it was 1600 somewhere on hereim not sure if it was benched or if it was just an estimate -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01xtreme Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 1 guy tested an A3000 on term pro or something and said it was only putting out 1300 watts, but I have seen numerous bench tests saying 1900 and up...I guess it all depends on the one you get. Maine were drawing a ton of power. I have an Iraggi 280 amp alt. a red top and 2 HC800's and I would still get voltage drop to the low 13's. My System: Pioneer AVH-P3200BT 4-Dayton 7 inch reference series (front doors) 8-Onkyo 3/4 inch tweeters (dash) 1-Sundown Audio 100.4D (mids/highs) 2-18" BTL's (for now) Crescendo 3kwp (for sale) Complete rebuild coming soon...

Derrick824 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Wow I'm seeing a lot of uneducated posts in here. Somebody needs to by a clamp meter and learn to do some real math. I've clamped my Sundowns and seen 320a of current draw without blowing the 160amps worth of fuses. Fuses can take bursts for more than their rating without blowing. Anytime you calculate an amps actual output using its input #s you must calculate efficiency. You find out efficiency by clamping the amplifier, getting the real input and output #s, and then doing the math. Average efficiency for class d amplifiers @ 1ohm is around 70%. I know this because I've actually tested different amplifiers and calculated the results. All the guessing in here is a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
