techaninna Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm not sure haven't done much reasearch on that amp..... Quote Rebuild coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick824 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Actual output varies with impedance rise and voltage drop. As long as you keep the voltage at 12.8 or higher you'll get that 2000watts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasen't one of your a refurb? hows it holding up Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

Thewes Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Stephen I ran mine at .35 ohms and only problem I encountered were the cheap fuses I used catching fire. Got some decent fuses and never had the problem again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick824 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Wasen't one of your a refurb? hows it holding up Yes but it only ran at 1ohm because I didn't want to void the warranty. It held up fine for the couple weeks I used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 How about a refurb 1500 at .5 ohm backed by a d3100 stock battery and 200 amp alternator? think it will be enough? i dont want to take a chance blowing this amp.

Derrick824 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Sounds good to me. The main thing is gonna be your voltage. As long as it doesn't drop below 12v regularly you're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 It's also critical to set the gains right on the SAZ series amps - especially @ under 1 ohm. Since the SAZ amps can produce well in excess of their rated power @ voltages over 14.4 volts they can't have an over-current protection anywhere near the rated power. Therefore, the amp will continue to play well into clipping and power levels that can lead to damage without shutting off or giving warning. About 90% of the SAZ line amps that come back for warranty have the gain and/or bass boost at maximum levels, many of them being ran at 1/2 ohm or less on top of that. On the contrary, the new SAE line will have such protection so will be easier for people to set up and avoid damage. At around ~33% over rated power (1600 watts) the SAE-1200D goes into a 5 second protection so you know you need to change your settings.
