Hey guys,

Im looking at a Power Acoustik 4000w amplifier, here are the specs

http://cgi.ebay.com/Power-Acoustik-BAMF4000-1D-New-Amplifier-4000-Watts-D_W0QQitemZ320351064540QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Amplifiers?hash=item4a966951dc&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65:1|66:2|39:1|293:1|294:50#ht_987wt_1165

1200 Watts RMS @ 4 Ohms

1700 Watts RMS @ 2 Ohms

2200 Watts RMS @ 1 Ohm

4000 Watts Max Power

I know it says 2200 watts rms at 1 ohm....but how many watts do u think its really pushing?

Thanks

It's fused for ~1200:

so will upgrading the fuses help?

No. The fuse rating is just a guideline to follow when trying to make a half-assed guess at an amps true output.

how did u calculate that

10 watts per 1A of fusing is generally acceptable. It's not a science, but it will get you close.

the pa bamf 5500 has 200a fuse dose that mean it will put out 2000rms ? IMO no way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
