Subs getting hot clamping HALF rated power?


Recommended Posts

Wondering if anyone here could give me some insight on this.

 

I have two Nsv5 12s in my trunk on a Salt-8 at 0.5 ohm. Box is 5ft3 tuned to 28hz with 80in2 port. Rising to 2.1 ohms at 30hz.

 

The amp should be able to put out 6000w at 2 ohms. I have solid voltage and a clean signal, no clipping. I'm currently clamping 3000w at 30hz and they get hot in about one song or slightly less. The subs are rated 3000w EACH. I would turn the gain up but it starts clipping on rebassed music already. Voltage dropping to about 14.2v full tilt.

 

Any ideas?

How do you know you're only dropping to 14.2 (what tool are you using to measure this)? Is that a CES lithium battery? I assume the 80ah? What alternator do you have? Externally regulated or no?

I was hoping this guy would post back but the fact that he said he should be getting 6 k when the amp info says 4000 ar 2 ohms makes me wonder if hes legit.

He is. I've seen his build elsewhere. I wonder why he never came back though
