Can an ED Nine.1 run on 24v?

[skylineTT 10+ year member]

Just wondering but I know some guys run their amps at 16-18. Would it destroy an ED Nine.1 to run it on 24v?

not if you put a 24to12v conv on it.

Absolutely not!!!

It'll run the hell out of your car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

For about a millisecond!

They like the 12v. I run mine at 15.1-15.2 (no load) and it goes down to 14.3-14.4 when playing under a full musical load. They love the power. They will take whatever your electrical has. I run 2 9.1's on 2 Fi Bl 18's (flirting with 150's at 35 hz). Mine clamped 1380w @ 1 ohm @ 13.1v //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Just imagine what they do at 14.4...my point is, they can draw some current bruh.

I understand, but I have a power source that will supply 24v DC AT roughly 55A continuous. I wanted to see how the amp would act on it and keep the gains down of course but I didn't know if it would fry some ish on the board. Thoughts?

Email ED, or ask on their forums, they are usually pretty quick with replies.
And while being notoriously inefficient, they do some great power at 14v. Mine usually rests around 13.9v.
@Buck, that, 1380 clamped, was that for 1 amp? Would you be willing to bet around 1480 at 14v?

I've seen some of the Super Street vehicles up here charge their "16v" systems up to 20.0-20.1 or something like that but that is still way off from 24... i highly suggest you dont. Just my worthless two cent though.

I gotta agree. 12v amps usually can never handle much more than 18v. Any more than that and you have a short fireworks show or a protect light.

ehh, sounds fair enough. lol

Based on math, I would guess about that number.

No, Nine.1 will protect at 18.5ish

actually, generally speaking, 12v amps power supply components are only rated to handle 20vmax, given low enough temp, and the caps are usually 16, or 20v. however, i did look up the specs on most of the crucial components (ic's and fets) and they appear to be able to take 25vmax on the lowest ones, but i did not map the whole p/s circuit. if piper has experienced the 18.5v protect, then i suppose that is what it would do. i imagine that it could possibly be modded to take 24, but really. you are only looking at a supply of 55a, and you would need still between 80-100a with all the transistors stressed to the max they would handle, which is the reasoning behind it. and, you would have to watch that the voltage does not spike or ripple over 25, among many other headaches to make it work. i would just keep the voltage lower. so, is it like an alternator off a 24v system? (runs high as 28-30v, really)

I was told not to run above 15v by Alex at eD. I run 15.2, and I feel comfortable. That's under very little load though. I would absolutely never run this on anything other than a 12v system.
