Ben Building Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 That things not doing 1000rms if it was struck by lightning. 80 amp fuse with 8awg inputs? Sorry man. Im not buying it (No punn intended.).I think it might do a little more than 1000w RMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejcurrent Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Agreed. I bought this amp near 10 years ago, http://www.cmttrading.com/computer/item13085.html It's around 1000rms at 2ohms and it has a 100 amps fuse and 4 guage inputs. Personally I'd never run 1000w on 8 guage, but I guess if it's a short run from a rear distro block or battery. Even if you said you were strapping 4 to one sub I'd go with the saz over them. Although if you buy some I've got a buddy who needs a 3-800 rms amp and that looks like it would fit the bill nicely. If you buy them let me know- I'd pick one up. tejcurrent XS Power T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I think it might do a little more than 1000w RMS. 979w @ 1 ohm @ 14.4v @ 85% efficiency (which it won't have at 1 ohm) So it'll do less 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsuv Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Buy a bunch, do some testing, and get back to us. Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this: http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/American_Bass_VFL_100.1/ How do you KNOW, have you clamped them? That amp has less guts than a RE 12.1 and the 12.1 doesn't quite make 1200wrms. It takes power to make power - wattage = voltage x current 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jextel Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 80 amp fuse = 800 watts , everybody knows wattage is told by the fuse 100 watts per 10 amp of fuse. thus the 500 amp on the t4k i thought it was Voltage X Fusing Amount Ex. 80amp = 80 x 14.4=1152wrms but thats at a perfect 14.4 with no drops http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3042878TEAM DEADLY HERTZ "GET LOUD OR DIE TRYIN"only the loudest will survive.

Ben Building Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 a vfl 100.1 makes alot more than rated power man.Here's the end of the VFL 100.1. It has 3 25 amp fuses. We all agree that the VFL makes at least 1500w RMS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 There are plenty of amps that can be powerful little powerhouses in a short use application. Don't expect the same numbers to transfer to daily power. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.
