BeachJoshua Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Holy shit! hahaha, but that kind of voltage drop would burn out the amp in very short time right?? or am i wrong? i had a Kicker zx1500.1 (i know there´s no comparisson, not as strong building as the stetsom) but, with 10v and 11v voltage drops the amp didn´t last even 2 months!! haha, i use to be a noob, i wouldn´t do that again in my life, but that´s why i´m asking Got that from another thread, I was wondering, can I ruin my amp by my voltage hitting down to 10v?

Skullz Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I think with most amps it would damage them over time running low like that but i think some amps were designed to run as low as 8v but thats a per design kinda thing so you better know the manufacturer before trying it.

Beanz Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 oh yeah........... but it varys from amp to amp..some amps can go as low as 9V which IS BAD but cauce there built good they can last Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

ISO Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Low voltage does have the potential to damage an amplifier, as voltage drops two things that can be considered a negative result of voltage dropping are more current that is needed and that results in more heat build up. More current and more heat build up are 2 things that I consider a negative result. Also a result on an amp that has a weakly designed input section can burn out too easily and that is also from the 2 negative results I posted above. Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one. "Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go." Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

splzx3 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 they can take a low voltage for a bit be4 something bad happens (this is if ur smart about it) but yes it can and will mess up or burn up the amp fast Quote ________________________________________________________________________ deepsilencer, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:32, said: splzx3, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:27, said: i had my fun on one of his videos...till he blocked me then i got my mother into it lol after her he closed the comments xD lol your mom is a G!

tristan560 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Meh...the lower the voltage the more current its gonna pull. Producing more heat. Heat which over an extended amount of time can kill components in the amp. 10v for a few seconds is just fine....now over three or four songs....bad.

splzx3 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 it all about the songs and the bass line 2 bro if it something like money man then i will give it 1 1/2 songs but if it something that the bass hits and stops then hits again then MAYBE 2 songs Quote ________________________________________________________________________ deepsilencer, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:32, said: splzx3, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:27, said: i had my fun on one of his videos...till he blocked me then i got my mother into it lol after her he closed the comments xD lol your mom is a G!

Skullz Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) If i'm not mistaken the soundigitals are the ones capable of running down as low as those voltages cause of how they work, the amp always see's the correct voltage to power the amp even though the voltage is dropping going in.
