12000 watts and one 12'

those amps are 3k@2ohm they just say 6k to make it look better and get stupid people to buy them thinkin they are getting 6k watts

i really dont see that setup doin 149 since u are almost blocking the truck with those amps a lil video would clear things up... also what meter are u using

there is only one way to take it. Each amp is producing 3000rms if that. The max numbers mean absolutely nothing.

well okay then, i have 6000 watts lol, my origial question tho. . how do u think the sub will hold up to all that power?

 

[alerotdx 10+ year member]

and its no term lab thats for sure. the most it has every been off was 3db. some of are cars were actually louder on term lab, some not. so it was a more around number. so 149.7 give or take 3db

 

[mobeious 10+ year member]

well u already have it playing so u tell us how its holding up

what meter is it?

 

[allout13 10+ year member]

well i have two red top batteries. one under the hood, one in the wheel well. 2 gage running from the first batt to second. (i will be putting a second run soon). . then from the second battery is all 0 gage. all grounds are o gage. i will be doin the big three soon. and i have an 18farad cap, but everybody is tellin me to ditch it

yes the cap is probably not helping at all.

what ohm load are the amps seeing?

your electrical is pretty weak for 6000watts. voltage drops must be really bad

the amps are almost as long as the box is. the only area really blocked off is above the box where the top amp is

 

[alerotdx 10+ year member]

im really not sure what the meter is even called. its the local sterio shops.

 

[alerotdx 10+ year member]

honestly im scared its gona blow lol, and the amps are 2 ohm stable. the sub can be wired at 1ohm or 4ohms.

what did the meter look like

 

[alerotdx 10+ year member]

and yes voltage is normally around 14.8, but if i romp on it to long the amps can clip out. . not good. normally have to rev the engine while tryin to meter it to keep up voltage

what did the meter look like

it was a box that read out the numbers. plugs in to cigarrete lighter and one end is like a microphone. cup our hands around it and shove it up under the dash. its kinda jank i know, but its always been real close to the sam after we go to a comp.

this is fun

 

[alerotdx 10+ year member]

they say its a spl sub, not made for music. so is it wise doin a street beat with it?? (not really sure why they say its not for music)

 

[alerotdx 10+ year member]

opinions anyone??
