amp question

[Mark Britton]

would the mojo 3000.1 be a good amp per the mojo pro 12 inch subs.

The mojo 3000.1 will drive 4 of the mojo pro 12 and you would need to buy electrical upgrades for your car to run that amp which can be very expensive.

 

If you are going to use 1 or 2 subs you probably don't need so much power, you still can use it but you are paying for more capacity than you need.

Ok I do have high output alt and big 3 with 0ga wire. Is there a Amy you could recommend that would work good and not overheat I tend to list to it on long drives I have a soar ap1500 on it now and it will shut off and back on after a while. Thanks

If your amp does everything right except for overheating is most likely because of installation/operation error, said that if you continue using it like that it will fail without a doubt, common causes of overheating include:

 

- bad grounding / wiring

- low impedance loading

- low input voltage

- clipping

- subsonic filter not properly set

- poor ventilation, sometimes you can install fans if the amp needs to be in a poorly ventilated location

 

Also is very possible that if those issues are not corrected a new amp will also overheat, so fix or have someone fix the issues and if the system is not playing loud enough then yes get a better amp, more subs or whatever.

 

Since you have a single 1/0 wire it could source up to a 2K or so amp, if you get an amp with multiple 1/0 inputs you will probably need to upgrade your full electrical system too.
