[QUOTE="Azoth428, post: 8738145, member: 682373"] Ok so got a taramp bass 3k hooked up to dual 2 ohm subs. Did a clamp test to configure the gains. A 50hz test tone at 0db was playing and then I turned it up until I was clipping and then backed off it. Took my readings and I get 50 volts and 6.2 amps. Amp meet and multimeter both set to 200 ac. Im supposed to multiply 50 x 6.2 for wattage which equals 310 but that is waaaay low for this amp. Am I doing something wrong? If I move the decimal point over it becomes 62 which makes it 3100 which seems more like what it's supposed to be but I've watched a ton of videos on this and no one has said anything about doing that. I'm at a loss. [/QUOTE]
