new member. guys i just bought a new massive audio n4 the amp is rated at 2000 watts rms but the power input is only a 4 guage is this possible? also this is a cea 2006 compliant amp i just called cea and was told they dont test every member that carries the logo does any body have any info?

thanks

That number is probably peak watts or max power which is a useless number. You want to look at the RMS output info. I think your definitely ok with 4 gauge and the whole CEA ratings are still a joke considering the process the follow to get that number. Using test tones isn't very effective to acquire a power rating considering the amps are used to play music! (Unless used in spl setup for burp tones)

This is strange these people are having problems. I had 2 N4s for my subs and a NX4 for my tweeters, and I never once had the amps go into protect. I would play them under the seat of my truck (almost no ventilation at all) for 30 minutes full tilt (55/62 on my 880PRS) on a 100 degree day here in Florida and while they would get hot (obviously, any amp would), they never once went into protect for any reason at all.

In my experience these are built like tanks. I abused them by playing the crap out of my stereo under the roughest conditions for longer than I should have and they didnt give me even the slightest peep.

I have the N2 and have never had an issue with it getting hot. The subs hit so hard my eys radle! I love the amp.

No longer doing rated, and questionable QC, right?

At least that seems to be what I have been picking up on from the grumbling....

Not sure about that but from what I have seen looking into them they have changed since this tread...

Good change, or bad change?

Was giving some consideration to buying one, so expound, pls, mang!

I think for the better... They do still get fairly hot though but that's just what to expect with a mini amp...

Aiight, tks.

Now I will have to try to track down where I read the rotten review(s) I am recalling....

How many people will be butthurt when you start seeing audiopipes copy of this amp?

 

[Flex68 10+ year member]

Yep, yep!

Knew I was recalling at least one, and this was it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif

Had already been doing fruitless searches to try to find it again. Thanks for heading me back to it!

I have the nx5 and did not notice the sq issues.

I do not believe the output rating.

For $300, it is a good buy compared to other 3 / 5 channel options.

New or old? Need to keep in mind this is from 2010...
