[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8733085, member: 611804"] It doesn't matter how I set my gain. Whether straight clipping or clean. I can't get the amp to make anything over 300watt at 1ohm clean and at full clip it still doesn't draw excessive amperage. The amp is rated at 1000w at 1ohm and ddaudio usually make rated power. If it was putting out 1000w it would be drawing over 100amp especially since the other channels are loaded at 90w×2 at 4ohm for the tweeters, and 120×2 at 2ohm for the mids. Which dynamically I don't expect much draw out of the high side of the amp but adding it all up it should at least come close to the 130amp fuse rating. When I get time I'm going to rewire the subs up to 4ohm and see if that helps but the amp doesn't have a published rating at 4ohm but I'd expect 250-300w. And yea I get impedance rise but if I'm rising to 60-70ohm something is very wrong. It's not like I'm new to this I'm just trying to troubleshoot a new issue. I'm 99% sure the amp is bad. I bought it second hand for fairly cheap so I won't complain but it would be nice if It was an easy fix [/QUOTE]
