[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8676893, member: 650438"] Again this is full tilt testing, you dont need full tilt power, you literally can just set it for 600-800 rms from adjusting it with the gain knob on the amp. It wont affect your vehicle electrical system at all you ARE NOT going to draw whatever current you think the amp is going to draw, real power world numbers on music are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less then you can ever dream of. Purely due to physics, there's a thing called impedance rise, even when wiring to 2 ohms, you wont be getting 2 ohm power out of the amp, your actual power numbers are around 4 ohms numbers because of how a coil of a subwoofer moving through the magnet works, your impedance is always way higher. This is why you need a lot of headroom power, you arent overpowering anything you are actually just getting proper RMS power for your subwoofer. Most normal people like you cant grasp this concept because you guys have never clamp tested your amps for actual real world RMS wattage when you compete in audio competitions where you are in restricted power classes where you cant go over a certain amount of RMS wattage. These guys were using 2000-2500 rms amps and their real world power is as you see here. Its not the amps are bad, its because of impedance rise, its actual physics limiting your power.
