Also he was pushing it on a TC-1000, which are only rated at 400W RMS.I gave him a 50Hz -6db sound file to use to check amp outputs with DMM.He only ran it for about a day. He didn&#039;t have any sound file to test. So he said he just turned up gain (while listening to music) until it started distorting and then backed off alittle. So I told him he should really test the outputs and emailed him the sound file. So, when he tested it with that file he said he was running at 70V.So did he get lucky he didn&#039;t fry that amp or that sub?Thank for anyone that cares to answer.
