tristan560 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 i thought reducers bottlenecked the current when its reduced to 4 gauge No definitely not. <u>99 Jimmy SLT 4WD</u> Systemless. <u>99 Grand Prix GTP</u> DC XL 12 on 1.5k tuned lowwwwww.

CJ18 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Using the reducers wont hurt anything.....if anything it will be alot easier and cleaner then cutting away wire and trying to jam 0ga into a 4 ga hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint_810 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 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. that would be if i have the gain turned up half way to see atlease 2000 watts [color="#2E8B57"]size="4"]1998 buick century stock elcetrical for now pioneer 3100 avh dvd HU (12)power acoustik tweeters (1) PA BAMF 5500 (1) FI 15" BTL HEAVY SUB!!!

Flint_810 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 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. thanks man i'd appreciate the info. where can i find o to 4 awg reducers at? and where you do reccommend setting the gain at if im running 1 fi btl 15" [color="#2E8B57"]size="4"]1998 buick century stock elcetrical for now pioneer 3100 avh dvd HU (12)power acoustik tweeters (1) PA BAMF 5500 (1) FI 15" BTL HEAVY SUB!!!

Flint_810 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 yu did say minimal 4 ga or did yu mean maximum?? im looking at the pa amp now and on the power inputs it says requires minium true 4awg to operate [color="#2E8B57"]size="4"]1998 buick century stock elcetrical for now pioneer 3100 avh dvd HU (12)power acoustik tweeters (1) PA BAMF 5500 (1) FI 15" BTL HEAVY SUB!!!

CJ18 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 are you planning on running the amp at 1 or 2 ohms.....the output at 1 ohm is rated at 3200w and 2500 at 2 ohm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwill5 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I HAVE A GUY RUNNING TWO OF THESE ONE PER DD 3512. HIS VOLTAGE FLOATS AROUND 14.3 AND @ FULL TILT IT DROPS IN THE 13.6 TO 13.8 AREA. THESE WILL DO NO WHERE NEAR THE 3200RMS @ 1. HOWEVER, IF YOU DO THE NECESSARY ELECTRICAL UPGRADES; HO ALT AND SECONDARY BATT TO GET YOUR VOLTAGE IN THE 14+ AREA YOU SHOULD SEE 2200 TO 2500 OUT OF THESE. RUN 4 GUAGE TO BOTH OF THE POWER AND GROUND INPUTS. THEY ARE ANGLED SO IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIT 0AWG. IF YOU ARE RUNNING MULTIPLE BATTS THEN RUN 0AWG TO 4 GUAGE AT A 1 IN 2 OUT FUSE DIST. BLOCK.
