[QUOTE="fasfocus00, post: 8097482, member: 576857"] heads up man, it is not a 1500 watt amp it only has 2 25a fuses on it allowing a maximum of 50A of current draw. let's say your amp is 80% efficient and you have a stout electrical setup running a solid 14.4 volts with no drops. so amps x voltage = watts, than watts time efficiency give you a final number. 50 x 14.4 = 720 watts, but your amp and no ones amp is 100% efficient so real world efficiency might yield 80% so that puts your amp at 576 watts RMS @ 1Ω load. i'm giving you the facts that clearly you and others lack. I am not bashing you, just educating you on facts. not saying that Power Acoustik is a good or bad brand, they are just mislabeled on actual output. that 576 watts RMS that I gave you is being nice b/c your amp is more like 60-70% efficient and your car probably holds voltage around the 13.8-14.1 range and drops to the 12.6-13.2 range on bass notes.
