[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8563564, member: 650438"] in the beginning before i even knew my limit since i was still working on the setup till 1 am yesterday and didnt really get to tune and figure out whats the safe limits or my peak, I conservatively i metered a 154.6 at 39hz on a buddy's ssa apm-2 with the volume knob at 55 and sub level at -9 with a -5 db tone. I found out during demos, my comfortable spot is -6 sub level and 58 volume so i'll play with the meter in the next few weeks to see if we can sqeeze more out of it.. dipping to 10.3 volts all day long, not a single clip light or protect 3 hour back to back no rest demos, coils arent even close to slightly warm ice fking cold. Amp just barely warm, like a little bit above room temperature. On the multi-meter and amp's clipping indicator on a - 5 db test tone, i start soft clipping at 30% gain at +6 sub level. The whole competition i was at 5% gain and the sub levels stated above. I dont feel comfortable pushing the amps to their proper output levels without a decent bank of lithiums for reserve. 10.3 volts is scary enough I dont need to try to drop to 9 volts to test taramps reliability....
