J00bles Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 how about you show a picture of a rockford fosgate 3000 watt amp, since that is what the kole is rated at. the amp will work alright. set the amp to 1500rms and it should be able to handle that alright. let us know ow it performs. oh, and you said you got it cheap. how cheap? if you got a 1500rms amp for 100-150 bucks, then kudos to you 8 DC Level 4 M2 15s2 DC Audio 5ks26^2 clamshell tuned to 30hz9 Kinetik 1400sMechman externally reg'd 340 S seriesin a 99 Jeep Cherokee Click to see J00bles' Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 70% efficiency at 13.8 volts, it'll do about 1400 RMS or so. I'd set it at 1K even for the best result.

I'd set it at 1K even for the best result. How would i know it is set @ 1000 RMS? Would it be bad for the orion to underpower it? So you guys dont think I could blow this sub with this amp? I think the orion 10" hcca is 1500 RMS My 93 chevy truck Orion HCCA 15's Build 6K HID's 2 orion HCCA 15.4 2 AP30001D's 2 optima yellowtops, 2 C&D 270fr's, all 3 tsunami 1/0, CS144 190 amp Rockford p200-2 Rockford p200-2 Rockford p300-1 Kole KX1 5500D -broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barros57 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I dont know, has anyone actually had this amp or compared it to others? Im seeing alot of good reviews on other sites.

barros57 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Im seeing about equal numbers of caps, transistors, power supply winding.... I dont know. I paid 300$ for the sub and the amp. So, about $150 VS $1849.99. Anyone who knows amps, any imput?

CaptainzPlanetz Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I dont know, has anyone actually had this amp or compared it to others? Im seeing alot of good reviews on other site But I think most of the reviews are by people that havent had many amps before or the ones that just upgraded from there Sony Amps, sure it may be louder than the sony but they arent gonna know they are not getting all the power advertised, they probably dont know that 150 amps of fusing means the amp does no where near rated, and all the other factors, they just see that it says 5500max and thinks thats a bigger number than what my current amp is, also most the people that review this amp have never dropped 1200-1600 on a true 4000rms amp. And about the internals, just because they have the same amount doesnt mean that they are the same quality, or designed to make a true 4000rms. The parts in the true 4000k amps are built much stronger. One example is SoundDigital they have less Fets than an amp of equal power and the fets may look exactly the same, but internally the fet is built up more than the counterpart giving it the amp the ability to be smaller by using less parts, but the parts being much stronger. ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............ All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

Decaf Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 law of physics buddy if it cant draw more than 150a (maybe 155a before poppin) then u wont have any more than that X ur voltage 150*14.4v = 2160... and thats a 100% efficient amp... which doesnt exist so 2160*80% efficiency (average of most amps at 4ohms mind u!) = 1728watts and that is pushing the amplifier at max capabilities so add in voltage drop and real world 1-2ohm operation 150*13.5v = 2025 2025*70% (closer to 1 ohm operation) = 1417watts so 1300-1700 watts is what that can do at 1ohm so their power ratings are max, and overrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
