Ok so this am takes 6 (s said, 6 not a typo) 40 amp fuses which adds up to 240 amps.

Now according to calculations .....

40x6+240amp

240 x 14.4v= 3456.00

3456 x .75 (efficiency)= 2592 watts??? Now i am not sure if that would be 2592 watts at 4 ohms or 1 ohm but still it appears this amp is underated or in the wrong class. pioneer claims it to be a CLASS D AMP (70-80% efficiency) but it looks like it is more like 50%.

WTH? I am looking for a 1600-2000 watt amp and this has got me confused.

more power is never a bad thing. And that efficiency is at 4ohm, at 1ohm you'd see lower efficiency

ok i wanted someone elso to see this also before i buy one because it almost looks really fishy, there rms wattage on Sonicelectronix says 2000 watts rms at 1 ohm and 1600 @ 2 ohm 750 watts rms at 4 ohms.

Still seems kinda unusual.

they're just ratings, could be more could be less, you never know

that seems right to me, the lower the ohm, the more power, but less efficiency.

lol....true, but i am not a super expert like you.... unfortunatly all i have is a few crappy calculations and about 3 years audio expirience. These "no good" ratings are about all i got.

why are you so determined to get exactly 2000watts? Besides, it's all about how you set your gain

 

[chunky cumz 10+ year member]

well not exatly 2000, 2000 is actually a little more than needed. I am getting 4 memphis 10" m3's.

I want to make sure i have around 1600-2000 to feed these hungry puppys.

should do about 1800-1900 @ 1 ohm

that amp should give you enough power. Damn, that's expensive for 2000watts, my amp is cheaper //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

yesh the gain will set your input voltage. but you need to know what ohms can run on the amp to achieve 1600-2000. roe has an input voltage calculator you should play with and see what your ballpark voltage might be into whatever ohms.

i sold one for $225 local a few weeks ago

you could've gotten more for it apparently

 

[chunky cumz 10+ year member]

LOL then help me with a 2k watt amp then if i can get one cheaper, this amp has been the most logical choice for me so far. I am gonna go broke on crappy equiptment and then get laughed at. (my worst fear)

what exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to compete? I don't understand why an underrated amp is a bad thing.

Also there are plenty of 2000+ watt amps out there
