amp guts, can you tell a rough estimate?

okay well..

i gotta quantum amp.

its a qca4500d.

its say max 4500 watts..

and then like 2250 at 1 ohm rms.

it has 3 "30" fuses.

can yall tell if this amp really could come close to doing 2250 at 1 ohm? or even like 1500?

dont just throw numbers out so i believe the wrong thing, im looking for an "expert" answer.. thank ya.

Lets do some maths:

90 amps of fusing * 14.4v (perfect voltage input)= 1296wrms

however that is in an ideal situation so lets say it has 75% efficiency at one ohm 1296*.75 = 972wrms is probably the best you're gonna see out of it.

Hertz HDP1

DC LVL3 12" Full Carbon Fiber

2002 Acura Tl
Kenwood DNX9980HD
2 DCLVL4 12" Subs with LVL5 Parts D.7 Coils
DC 3.5k
Hertz HSK-165 up front HCX-165 Rear
Hertz HDP4 Amp
DC Power Engineering 260 Amp Alt
Big 3 and amp powered with KNU 1/0
XS Power D2400 Up Front

i pulled out my dick in class many of times and had it shown. get over it bitch...stupid open legged hairy beavered bitch...

going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box...

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth.

A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also?

so whats the little formula?

amp fuses multiplied by voltage going in?

yup, watts amperage and voltage are all related in simple algebra equation V*A=W plug in 2 and solve for the remainder 8)

A good way to "Eyeball" guess is to multiply the total fuse ratings by 10, in your case 3 x 30 = 90 x 10 = 900

This is usually more accurate then V+A=W due to efficiency loss.. most amps run 70% to 75% effeiciency

I don't know about more accurate but I do check fuse ratings and figure max possible power. I honestly wouldn't expect that amp to make more than 900 watts. There are a lot of factors when looking exactly how much an amp will make: wiring, voltage, temperature, length of runs, so if you're not going to clamp its all guesswork.

On a side note I do love 4500 watt amps with only 90amps worth of fusing, lol

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
