Rockford R750-1D (750W) vs Sundown SALT-2 (2000W) barely any difference in volume? No voltage drop when clipping?

[QUOTE="Terrum, post: 8812600, member: 657229"] Not yet, but I'd have thought if it was an issue with current then the voltage would drop during the clips, would it not? The 'Big 3' is definitely next on my list though as I've already got myself the Sky High 1/0 OFC Big 3 upgrade kit. By 'a meter', I assume you mean to measure the wattage? I can't use a multimeter as all I've come across cap at 10A so I can't measure the current to calculate the wattage. I guess I'm going to need recommendations on the cheapest tool to measure wattage. I guess I'm less disappointed by the difference in dB, but the fact that 2000W is not blowing the SA-12 Classic. My thought process was that 750W to 2000W is such a big jump that before the amp even started clipping the sub would stop getting louder and start smelling or making mechanical noise because more power than it can handle is being driven into it. But if this is not the case, then is it possible that the wattage is being limited by the cone area and other enclosure/driver issues? If so then I guess I still have hopes of achieving a higher dB when I upgrade to 2x SA-12 V.2s :ROFLMAO: I didn't, but I assumed that if the speaker terminals are showing 1ohm then it would make the amp capable of outputting 2k. Correct me if I'm wrong and by all means keep sharing more tips/suggestions as I love to learn about these things and find out what I am potentially doing wrong :) The amp has brand new 1/0 OFC power and ground cables ;) [/QUOTE]
