Taramps prefer this voltage or above, they also only require very little rca input voltage as well, do you know what that amount is? The rca voltage is about 2v at like 25 volume. And I keep my voltage above 13v and still clip. Can a 150 amp fuse cause clipping ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you feel the subs dust cap or cone getting hot? 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Galvan Posted November 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 I mean not really. If I do go higher the protect light starts to flicker and my voltage drops to like 12.8 while having the truck running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 I mean, 12.8 is getting close to too low, buys it's not there yet. I would still boost the electrical up when you get the chance, but if your amp isn't going into protect, you don't see your clip indicator going crazy all the time, your subs aren't getting hot and you don't smell anything funky, I'd say your pretty good. Your clip light flickering on and off for a split second every now and again isn't bad. Now, if that thing comes on everytime the bad kicks all throughout the song, then you have a problem. But once or twice a song for less than a second, I wouldn't worry about it. If you get worried, stop the music and feel the dust cap real quick and make sure it's not hot. I get it, you want to protect your investment and not damage anything. But, without actually being able to experience this first hand, I think you're good bud. But again... BOOST YOUR ELECTRICAL! Sooner rather than later. Big 3 upgrade, battery, and alternator (though your alternator isn't exactly weak, but the more the merrier), if not all at once, I would do it in that order in my opinion 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here.

Dafaseles Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Damn lol. That's all I could find searching the internet too.

Not what was the difference between the 20A~ , and the 200A~ functions. I'm so bummed out cause I've asked people and they say they got their hd3k 3/4 gain and stock electrical and don't clip unless their not pushing it. Today I sent my system and the whole dash dims and headlights dim and the clip indicator starts clipping. So I got a 150 amp fuse sit around 14v. 150x14 = 2100 Times .78 which is the efficiency of the amp i think which means I'm only getting about 1500 or less rms from the amp at the moment from those calculations.

You will be surprised how much that little thing up's your electrical. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out!
