I don't think i copied the link right but it is the Earthquake PHD5000, the red model, i was just wondering if it does rated power and also if it is a good quality amp that will put out clean power. I am looking to push an Audioque HD3 15 and was wondering if this amp would have enough to make it come alive.

Those are good amps...Ebay has good prices but no warranty....I run the PHD10,000's basically the same amp except strappable ...They work great with DD subs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Any other info. What is the lowest imp. this amp is stable to for daily driving. I have heard some people run it at 1 ohm and some run it at .5 ohm. I am just wondering because if it is 1 ohm stable i will run them at 1 ohm for the extra power. If not i am sure the 3000 watts @ 2 ohm will be enough to push an Audioque HD3 15

anyone know if this amp is stable below 2 ohms daily? It says 3000RMS @ 2 ohms but i have heard of them being ran lower. Is this true and/or safe?

You can run the Earthquake...PHD 10,000's strapped at 2 ohms...which each amp would be seeing a 1 ohm load...I'm not sure what is different in the circuitry of the PHD 5000's But I do know the manual recommends 2 ohm mono on the 10,000 as well...

anyone else know anything about this amp? It seems decent but I am wondering why it only has a 4 gauge power connection. Shouldn't an amp of this size need 0 gauge or something bigger than 4 gauge?
