Just double checking my math before I try to adjust things.

I..... don't..... understand..... a shit!

edit: oh i see. talking about amp output calculs right? words aren't expensive, use them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

if i remember well, 1600 at 1ohm is more like 37-38 and were talking about volt here, not amp

1600 watts at 1 ohm would be 40volt on the speaker leads...

voltage2/resistance= power

40 amps of current draw at 12.6 is

40 amps of current draw at 14.4 is

idling the truck runs around 14.2 just went check it with my meter. Sorry for the lack of info. Can i leave my speakers hooked and just slowly ease the gain up that why I know the right load is on it.

I would be very careful with leaving the speakers connected if you are doing this with a test tone! I've done it with the speakers connected before but I'll usually have an oscilloscope and a volt meter hooked up while doing the testing.
