Octane $ 15.0.1 Help

[MemphisSoul4U 10+ year member]

I just recently did the Big Three and installed 2 Deep Cycle Batteries. I have a Phoenix Gold Octane R 15.0.1 powering a MT 10. It is only "supposed" to be 2 ohm stable, but I have had it running at .5 ohm since I got my MT with no problem. After getting the 2 deep cycle batteries, however, at loud volumes, it pops both fuses on the amp(2x40).

I was wondering if anyone knew the max amperage this amp can handle without frying, or a way to figure it out (without actually trying!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif )

And if it will handle more, I could just use bigger fuses, right???

So you have at least one battery powering that amp... why?

i'd give it a negitive on putting bigger fuses.

wouldn't do it.

but you can if you want to try, you're already pushing that amp past it's specifications, i'd be greatful, and pray it lasts for some time at that kind ohm load.

i suppose yor mt is dual 1ohm wire the amp 2ohms before you waste it

I went ahead and got two batteries because I got a good price and that way I would have them when I got a HK4000D. I also have a Memphis PR200, and am planning on adding a 300 watt amp for 2 8" midbass(when I decide what 8's to get).

If it does fry, screw it... I won't put any larger fuses in it, unless it is at the next comp, and the people want a show.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

It's quad 2. I wired it to .5 ohm at a comp and got an extra 2.1 dbs for the win. Just left it that way ever since, because for DD I just turn the eq down to get a little bass.

then i think that you should wire it at 2ohms for daily purposes and at 0.5ohms for comps cause i don't think that that amp will last long being abused like that
