[QUOTE="DFS722, post: 8746342, member: 680268"] I am impressed at the frequency, little fellas get down! 4 8s will be the equivalent of at least a 15, a 15 doing those numbers isn't shocking so if broken down like that and running collective 3k to them makes sense. The wow factor and its still impressive I don't want to take from that. I will believe what ever you tell me what you metered. I don't see a sense in lying but anyway either way congrats. Assuming you meant 12v? I do not have any experience with the MD3000, But the smart 3, md5000, md8000, bass8k and hd10000 is what i have personal experience with and I have not seen any voltage issues from 14v-15.5v(stock alt and agms to ding dongs on a 320) and have dealt with multiples of some mentioned models. Haven't seen dirty power on the scope (yes I oscope every amp, clip indicator or not I like to see the rails myself) 1 bass8k and the hd10000 are now blown. bass 8k wire pinched on his folding seat in a suburban....
