Joshdashef Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 Thinking of upgrading from a dc 2k to an Apocalypse AAK-4000.1D but wanting to keep my new SA12s subs. Wondering if they could take the power. Wiring at 1 ohm for now.

LT.Smoke Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 I think the 4k would be too much for a pair of the SA12's but you might be able to get away with...Possibly Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌
Ron36 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 I’d turn the gain down maybe 4K for 3-4 12’s. I run 1k per 10inch SA and they take it but not anymore. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery
DiBo Posted March 25, 2019 Report Posted March 25, 2019 3 SA12's @.67 would smash. I have 4x12's on 2 AAK40001D amps and I can't even get them stinky. These amps are more stable than powerful. They wake up @ .67 and .5. I had all 4 subs @.5 and they impressed a lot of people. Amp didn't even get warm at .5. these amps are soooooo nice!
Ron36 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Posted March 25, 2019 That amp also probably puts out over rated power so like 4400-4600rms at 14.4v. You have to remember that. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery
Joshdashef Posted March 25, 2019 Author Report Posted March 25, 2019 I figured it’d be a lil much unless I turned the gain down a lot. Not sure if I could wire .5 ohm my electrical is only a 240 alt two batts about 125 ah of agm Think I might be able to fit four 12s in my trunk but it’d have to be sealed or a 4th built in my trunk.

I really dig the bass knob and the amps themselves are pretty good looking. Seem to have a decent heat sink too, dual inputs already, and a remote in / out SMD Tool Map (2024): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/226545-smd-tool-map-2024/ Great Box Bracing Examples: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/202148-best-way-to-brace-a-box/?do=findComment&comment=3055002

Everything you mentioned about the amplifier makes the deaf bonce amps my top choice. Heat sink is thick and heavy, bass knob has temperature display ( amp thermals at 182°f) but I haven't had mine over 110° wired @.5 and it has a thermal protect light, regular protect light and clip light. I'm currently in the market for the new AAK-20000.1D ( TRUE 10K @12v flat!!) Coming in April. 18v stable @20k. 14.4 it does 12k and @16v it does 16k. BTW my amp required a 270 Mechman and 300ah of AGM to run @.5. I originally had the amplifier in my Maxima on one zv5 15 at half. Hope this helps
