CMcLane816 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 He is loving the smart 5k. He said its super efficient only needs 12.6v for max output. Obviously windy af. I was sketched that you only have 1 Rca in, but I guess that doesn’t matter. He said you can play at max volume for a minute or 2 then you gotta let subs cool off for a minute, but 80-90% sound amazing and can play all day.

Yeah, that amp is too much for those subs and/ or he has his gain up too much and he's clipping if he has to let the subs "cool down". Regardless, as long as you set your gain correctly, you'll be fine. 1 RCA doesn't matter, is a mono signal. One of those things I've read over and over again is that the damping factor of an amplifier is a huge contributor to how well the amplifier can keep control of the sub below box tuning. So maybe that little tidbit of info can help with your decision 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen 6200 watts on the dyno from the smart 5k at 2ohm, so it’s combatting rise like crazy and performing like a 8k amp. I thinking dampening factor is really similar on each amp 150-200 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMcLane816 Posted January 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Little update. All runs are done to the back and purchased a smart 5k. Should of had everything installed but my boy got Covid that’s building my box. So has been delayed, probably next couple weeks will be done. He’s all good now so just gotta find some time. Also, wish I would have sheathed my first 2 power runs ehh, may get some loom if I don’t fell like re running it. Now just deciding on if I want a another d3400 to have 2x under hood, or some lithium. Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
