I'm going to be testing out a couple of Visonik v4000xd's this weekend on a fully loaded Dual 2 ohm 18" BTL.
Here's the amps that are being tested...
(2) Visonik Rms Power @ 14.4V DC: - people say this amp is correctly rated
1 x 2500W @ 4 Ohm,
1 x 3500W @ 2 Ohm
(1) Planet Audio RMS Power @ 14.4V DC: - people say this only does 1500 @ 1 ohm.
1x1500W @ 2ohm
1x2250W @ 1ohm
snoopdan's old Visonik amps...
At 1st I'm going to only use a single Visonik v4000xd and wire the sub to give the amp a 4ohm load and see ff that's an improvement over the Planet Audio running at 1ohm.
The Visonik is rated at 2500rms @ 4ohms so I hopefully it should push the BTL much harder then my Planet Audio.
Next I will do something that I've never done before. I'm going to hook both Visonik amps up to the sub. My plan is to put (1) amp on each voicecoil, that means there will be a 2ohm load off of each voicecoil going per amp.
Before I do this I want to know what precautions I should take. What would happen if I was to fail in setting each gain exactly the same on each amp. With (1) voicecoil getting a little more power then the other would that damage anything?
When I have both amps connected to the BTL I plan to adjust the gains so each amp puts out around 1500rms.
