What does your mids and highs have to do with the BTLs? You keep saying they are seeing 5000 watts. The BTLs are probably seeing no more than 4000 watts a piece. Probably less. So there must be something else wrong with your install or what you did with it to have the subs explode like that.My lights barely dimmed at full tilt. Im guessing around 16,000-17,000rms when I first started playing it.
The 20,000rms is going to be what Im seeing when all my mids/highs amps are in.
The amps running at lower ohm loads makes more current. The wattage isnt good for them, but its doable. With that current and wattage together, thats when you see problems.
You will probably end up doing the same thing to the T3s or whatever other new expensive gear you buy without properly using it. But hey it's your money and obviously not an issue.
Wasn't your last install 2 sony xplods? I hate to agree with Ngsm but I don't really see how you can all of a sudden buy 20,000$ worth of audio equipment and expect to know how to make it work properly without any experience. Not really surprised, though I do feel sorry for you. Kind of.
