thinking outside the box here, maybe 4 ohm setup is the way to go? Follow me here.. You can get a decent 5k amp for $600 (wolfram 4500.1) that does more power at 4 ohms than you current amp at 1 ohm. But what im thinking here is Efficiency. Amps are terribly inefficient at 1 ohm vs 4. typical 1 ohm is around 60%? and 4 ohm load s can get in the 80% range from most dyno tests ive seen. Less hard on everything, and you can still be loud. that will give you extended play time aswell. Just a suggestion.
Hmmmmm I’m not opposed to that at all. My concerns are mostly the physical size of that amp. Technically it will fit in the compartment my amps are mounted in, but I’d have to turn it vertically. The issue with that is it will have things thrown in there that will come in contact with it. Not really a big deal probably, because I’d be careful, but other people.....
What are the thoughts on using none marine amps? It is in a compartment and shouldn’t get in direct weather, but it’s still exposed to more than it would be in a car.
