hence the name "Team Kicker"BTW who modded your ZX's? The reason why I ask every kicker I have owned goes into overvoltage protection above 16V! Polo..

so your telling us orion and kicker just lie to the customer that these amps put out their rated power?a birthsheet means nothing. The actual power you will see varies GREATLY. Chris i'm sure clamped the amp and thats what the actual output was.
example, my orion 2500d (2500@ 1 ohm) when clamped only put out 1600 or so @ 1 ohm. Kinda disappointing i know.

In a perfect world everyone would get their amps rated power all the time.so your telling us orion and kicker just lie to the customer that these amps put out their rated power?
oh i know that. what i was saying is you said you had an orion that only did 1600w @ 1 ohm.In a perfect world everyone would get their amps rated power all the time.
But we don't live in a perfect world. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
Impedence rise, heat, voltage, etc. all play a role in an amplifier's power output.
No company is "lying" about output ratings. It is certainly capable to get power above and beyond what a manufacturer rates their amps for, given the right setup.
That part right there is key. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifoh i know that. what i was saying is you said you had an orion that only did 1600w @ 1 ohm.
correct me if im wrong, but assuming a constant voltage...if you burp @ say 45hz and you clamp it and get a voltage reading and a amperage reading and you solve for wattage and impedance and you get 1 ohm AFTER ALL VARIABLES, the orion should put out its 2500w no?
or are you saying you were wired down to 1 ohm on the orion but it put out 1600w due to impedance rise etc?
edit: whoops confused me. i thought this was 15nissen lol. **** team kicker avatars
ahhh, see i assumed that he clamped his amp and solved for wattage and resistance and his final reading was 1600w while sitting @ 1 ohm AFTER impedance riseThat part right there is key. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Also, your cars voltage isn't going to stay constant, it's going to dip once you start the tone. Then the sub gets hot, the cabin compresses, and numerous other things happen that affect power output. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Nah, his nominal load was 1 ohm. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifahhh, see i assumed that he clamped his amp and solved for wattage and resistance and his final reading was 1600w while sitting @ 1 ohm AFTER impedance rise
that makes more sense. i was like how in the hell would orion get away with rating an amp for 2500w if it only puts out 1600.Nah, his nominal load was 1 ohm. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
