07sOnAtA sp.ed Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Posted May 13, 2008 what about my other questions? if you see the rms of an amp, is that the rms @ 12volt or 14.4? Is there a certain universal test voltage? Quote CURRENTLY UNDER RE-CONSTRUCTION 2008 Hyundai Sonata Team T3 Audio Team Deadly Hertz Team SMD (Street Motivated Devastation)
Stephen Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 some are rated at 12v some are rated at 14.4 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. DC POWER
07sOnAtA sp.ed Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Posted May 13, 2008 what if it doesnt say is theree one thats safe to assume? Quote CURRENTLY UNDER RE-CONSTRUCTION 2008 Hyundai Sonata Team T3 Audio Team Deadly Hertz Team SMD (Street Motivated Devastation)
SteelCityGhost Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 what if it doesnt say is theree one thats safe to assume? Some rated at 12, 12.5, 12.8, 13.8, 14, 16, 17 volt. Best way if it's not listed and you don't know anyone with experience on a particular amp, then call the manufacturer or check their website. Quote
Stephen Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Ok guys, here it is. Depending on your battery set up this amp will make an ungodly amount of power. With a 12volt battery set up dropping to 11.5 volts the Crunch GP3000D Pro made 2850 watts at a 1.03 ohm reactive. That's 4 12volt batteries. If you can get the voltage up the amp will make much more. By just starting the car and using the high amp alternator (starting at 16.1 volts and dropping to 12.3volts), the 3000 made 3732 watts. That's crazy isn't it. THAT'S NOTHING! I hooked it up to a 16volt battery set up and it just went crazy! With the battery voltage dropping to 15.7 volts with a 1.4 ohm reactive this monster made 4640 usable watts. NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT!This is from a quote on the termpro fourum.

07sOnAtA sp.ed Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Posted May 13, 2008 so its safe to assume w/ a 240 amp alternator, and a 12volt battery under the hood, it will make 2000+ watts?

07sOnAtA sp.ed Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Posted May 13, 2008 well if i was to run this amp, would you recommend an extra batery, like a kinetik 2000? and if i was to get 1 would it up my voltage near 14volts?

wL<3bass Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 rated at 14.4v and recommends an inline 300amp fuse.

Dale Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 or just look on RoE somewhere....there's a tool that calculates your target output voltage of your amp. Once you have that, divide your RMS wattage by that....you should be close Quote
