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

[QUOTE="Terrum, post: 8812730, member: 657229"] Initially I was concerned that the amp wasn't outputting 2kW or anywhere near it, because when slightly clipping I was not getting a voltage drop and no mechanical noise and/or burning smells. But now after I have experimented with the subsonic and LPF more I started getting voltage drops when slightly clipping and smells of burning coils, so in my eyes that pretty much confirms that at least 1kW is being pushed into it now. Very unlikely. As mentioned in my first post the alternator is lacking, hence I made the decision to splash out on the SALT amp (because of its 'low voltage technology') hoping I could output 1850W @ 12V on the battery (when I have the car turned off) as that wattage is supposedly what it can handle. Anyway I'll check the speaker terminals in the morning and write back with any updates. Thank you so much for your input and help, it's been a real pleasure learning on this forum as always :) [/QUOTE]
