Thinkin about getting this amp for my 2 15's cvx. Or should I get the Us amps merlin 3d.

Are the subs 2 or 4 ohm?

whats your budget?

youll be happier with the us amp.

Subs are 4 ohm

[keitare]

a little math and you will find that amp is overrated by 400 watts. 40a fuses x 5 = 200 x 14.4 = 2880

And what 3200 rms do you know that wants dual 4 gauge inputs

[thegreat22]

So us amps FTW

[machado287]

I would say go with hifonics . But of all u picked us amp

[MATTMAN24]

hifonics is a peice yeah i know i have them and it pushes my subs just fine but if i could do it again i would soo go with sundown, rf, dat, us amps

and you forgot effiency and pry gunna have voltage drop... thats all ill say

this is a very basic way to get really approximate numbers, but you also have to factor in efficiency. no amp will be close to 100% efficient. so to take a guess with the amp being 70% efficient, it will only be putting out round 2000 watts rms
