Farmacist Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 it has the same board as a power acoustik BAMF5500... and now you wont even see 3200 out of it.. youll probably see 2000w at 1ohm ...so its not a total piece of crap... the amps are just generously rated Team Soundstream Team Xs Power Team Secondskin Audio Team Mechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barros57 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Probably by clipping the bejeezus outta the amp. Im really new to this stuff, but does that mean like trying to play frequencies the sub cant handle? ..Would the subsonic filter prevent that?

white4d96 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Im really new to this stuff, but does that mean like trying to play frequencies the sub cant handle? ..Would the subsonic filter prevent that? Basically the gain knob was turned up too high. When a sine wave (sound wave) went into the amp, it got overamplified beyond what the amp could produce and became a square wave which is very bad. Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barros57 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Looks very similar on the outside. But I there is more capacitors in the kole? I know the kole model made right after this is almost the same, except with 0 gauge.

Marlo Stanfield Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Those amps are OK at best, will do alrite amounts of power but nowhere near rated... Oh yeah and it's not a good sign for a 3kw+ rated amp to have fusing usually reserved for amps w/ less than 1/2 that amount of power. But as long as u already have the amp might as well give it a shot. I have the HCCAs that you're asking about and the amp u have will barely even get them going to well. They are quite inefficient subs and like 2k+ daily at least, I could throw 3kw or so daily without any issues if chose to. 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride...

barros57 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 alright. yea, I think i am going to keep the amp and see how it does. Ok so, to set the gain, using this chart so it does not send clipped signals (square wave) to the sub, which voltage would it be? rms power?

barros57 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 and 50 hz tone? or 60?

MrSoundz Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 That amp would make a good paperweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barros57 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 That amp would make a good paperweight. Maybe, but I dont know. look @ the inside compared to the rockford 1000..

white4d96 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 To really properly set gains you need an oscilloscope. If you don't have access to one I would say just set it by ear (turn it up slowly til you start to hear distortion than back it down some.) Trust me, when you have an overrated amp you don't want to use that chart. Tends to make the amp very not happy =/ Too many projects, too little time...
