[QUOTE="Fishpoke, post: 8034408, member: 650829"] Hello my first thread here, I just bought a sundown saz1200d and 2 sa12s wired into a 1ohm load on the amp. The amp should be pushing 1200watts at its max (though I understand sundown amps have a reputation for low balling themselves) not sure I'm getting this though. I've been trying to tune my system over the last couple days trying to get the most thump out of it however I'm noticing on some songs (usually ones with a kick in a bassline) my amps clip light will flash with that kick, however when its just a solid throbbing bassline I can push the amp a lot harder without the clip light flashing. My electrical is subpar, haven't done the big 2 of the big 3 although I do have multiple chassis grounds off the negative terminal with 4 gauge. Battery hasn't been upgraded yet although I'm not seeing any significant voltage drops when the amp is clipping. Not sure if this is playing into the clipping or not? I know the sa's are rated for 600 rms but can easily take double that, however this amp is not pushing them anywhere near their limits. So what do I need, beefier amp? or better electrical? [/QUOTE]
