how overrated is the power acoustic bamf 5500

It has 200 amps of fusing

200 * 14 = 2800

75% efficiency (just a guess)

2800 * .75 = 2100

So IMO with a good electrical, that's what you could see. I haven't had first hand experience, though.

Yep gotta add efficiency in I forgot that. But i think 75% might be high for that amp

take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey

You may be lucky to get over 2000RMS if your lucky, these are just a rough way to measure but 12v*200A=2400W 14v*200A=2800w So if your lucky you could see over 2500RMS but you would definitely need good wiring and upgraded electrical. But otherwise your probably gonna see like 2000 maybe.

ok would 4awg be good or try to squeeze the 1/0awg wire in. im gonna do the big 3 but for an alt about how many amps?

200(fuses) * 14.4=2800

2800*.7 (for efficiency; which is an estimate) = 2016

Idk for sure if the calculation i did is correct, but when i do the equation with a amp that i know the output power of its like 5-10% off what its rated at

oh ok good lookin out on the calcuation tho it will come in handy!

If the amp only accepts 4AWG you wont be able to "squeeze" in 0AWG its a HUGE difference.

lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz.

Dont trim it down just get yourself some 0 to 4 ga reducers and it will fit fine......I had 4 of these amps and would guesstimate that they put out about 2k but possible up to 2500 with good electrical......not a terrible amp for the price.

i thought reducers bottlenecked the current when its reduced to 4 gauge
