PG Tantrum 1200.1

[Matador 10+ year member]

Are they underrated?

stated to put out 1200rms @ 2ohms, but i was loooknig at the specs, it has a 80A fuse, n it's around 70% efficient, so if P = VI, 1200 seems quite a lot unless they up the voltage internally.

i would love ot see the birthsheet for this one if anyone has it?

Many fuse ratings don't work out right if the amp is indeed putting out its rated power. Duty cycle has a lot to do with it, ie the amp is drawing more than the rating of the fuse but not for long enough to blow it. Consider also that the tantrum amps are rated at 14.4 volts IIRC.

IIRC? current controlled i m gonna guess out of nowhere

I dont have one to take a picture of, but I have seen a few over 1400 easy

seen 2 birthsheets:

1 was 1502 w

other was 1509 w

a tad underrated //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

nice, n those would be at 2 ohms i would believe?

that makes everything easier

yeah don't wire them to 1 ohm.........................

but the whole 2-4 ohms is real nice, like a candy flavored.....

I love PG amps for a reason, and the Tantrum line has done very well
