9515ROB Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have a DD M3 and i was wondering what kind of power you are putting on it so far i have my stock battery under the hood a 1800 kinetik in the trunk and another 1800 on the way and im hopefully buying a 220 amp alternator tonight. I plan on getting a 1800 under the hood some time soon if i can get the right price. Do you think this is enough power to keep that amp from clipping or should i get more batterys Quote - 1998 Ford Mustang - Time to rebuild. 4 15s and alot of power TEAM DTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 should be more then enough for an amp that does roughly 2400rms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm told (haven't used one myself mind you) that they work surprisingly well even when your voltage is pretty shithouse. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9515ROB Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 they work well but it clips like a son of a bitch and bottom out my sub on low voltes on certain lows Quote - 1998 Ford Mustang - Time to rebuild. 4 15s and alot of power TEAM DTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loburbon Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 the m3 is the only amp i use. and if your bottoming out on certain low notes, tuning is your issue not power. the last one i clamped was wired to .5 with a rise to 1.5 and it did 2400-2500rms from 30hz all the way to 55hz. and it put out those numbers at 11.9v. those tests were done on 2 redtops and a single kinetik 2400 and a stock 2000 blazer alt.

Marlo Stanfield Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 That will be more than enough electrical for that amp... I used to have one, but sold it locally. Had mine wired to .7 ohms and after rise it was @ 1.6 ohms and i got just under 2300 watts clamped. Don't remember my exact voltage but I'm pretty sure if was in the low 13s/high 12s.
