Power Acoustik/Kole Audio 5500d testing!

[uptwome2007 10+ year member]

I was told by the tech over at power acoustik that the Power Acousitk BAMF 5500d and the Kole Audio Phanatik 5500d are the same amps. Both carry 5-40 amp fuses and the specs are the same on paper. I did some testing in my car using the Kole Audio 5500d, here are the results..........................................

Voltage drop after 5 seconds - AC Volts - Amps - Imp Rise - Watts

15.91 - 57- 20- 2.85- 1140

15.0 - 54- 42- 1.28- 2268

15.44 - 55 - 45- 1.22- 2475

The first two tests were done using 1 Power Master 16 volt battery, and the last test was with two Power Master 16 volt batteries. The batteries are the power master S1000's. It doesn't put out the rated power, but still not bad for a budget amp. I also tested it against power acoustik's well known a3000db, and the kole 5500 is definately stonger. One big difference between the a3000db and the 5500d is that the 5500d will take up to 18.2 volts before going into protect and the a3000db will go into protect at 17.2 volts. I'll do some 12volt testing and post results later. Just thought I'd share my results for those that were wondering like me.

I'm kinda confused with the data.

What can we expect to get from a 5500d? I was actually thinking of getting the new Kole one.

The most I got at 15.44 volts was 2475 watts. That was with a 1.22 imp rise.

Oh wow.. Really... I was hoping for more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

So I could probably hope for barley 2000........

Is ~00.15$ a watt good?

Did some more testing at 16 volts...........................

Dc voltage dropping to 16.3 volts

AC volts.........................62

AC Amps........................56

Impedance Rise.............1.10 ohms

Watts.............................3472watts

What is the starting voltage?The voltage seems a little high for pulling so many amps??

i was thinking about buying this. What can you expect at 2ohms at 14.4 volts?

 

[Pimpdaddyq 10+ year member]

what do the amps run price wise?

what do the amps run price wise?

Kole 5500d goes for 300$ shipped

Power Acoustik 5500d goes for 320$ shipped.

 

[uptwome2007 10+ year member]

The starting voltage was 17.4 volts.

 

[uptwome2007 10+ year member]

I'll try and do some 12 volt testing tomorrow, and I'll post results.

Only a 1v drop.....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
