corteznewbie Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 i was wondering how to get the power rating of a amp thats 1 ohm stable. i know part of the rating is amps x volts. now is that how you get total power or that just at 4 ohms? and is there a formula for more power at 1 ohm?

Jared420 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 The amp will pull more amps when wired at a lower ohm load, So you have to know how many amps your amp will pull when wired to 1 ohm then you have to factor in how efficient the amp is as well. 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corteznewbie Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 according to the owners manual its 75% or 8 0% efficient. i'm just tring to find out if my amp is over rated or underrated. Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red4DrPos Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 i heard that if you take the fuses and add them up then multiply it by say 14v then it should give you somewhat of what the amps putting out....not accurate tho, best way would be with a clamp and a dmm to find the output of the amp...

corteznewbie Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 i know that part. but is that the formula for total power or just total power at 2 or 4 ohms? Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdblue Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 i know that part. but is that the formula for total power or just total power at 2 or 4 ohms? if you want to know how accurate your amp is, the only real way to tell is if you clamp it AA-Atomic-Clif Designs-DC-Diamond-Digital Designs-Directed-Eclipse-Fi-Hertz-Hifonics-Kenwood-Memphis-Phoenix Gold-Pioneer-PPI-PSi-Stinger-Sundown-TC Sounds-Viper-Zapco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
