Strapped a3000db output?

[BassAddictJ 5,000+ posts]

I'm planning on switching out my kx 2500.1 for something as it's tempermental at 1 ohm with my electrical and i'm going for something more stable. There's a good chance the kx is going local for 300 sometime soon. I really only have that 300, not much more to work with. Unless i can get some insane deal for something decent quality and 3kw, I'm considering getting two a3000db's.

Current electrical is a stock 120amp alty, hc1400 and a d3100 both in the trunk with 1/0 chassis ground. My BTL is a dual 2 and until I get an HO alt I would want to run them with each amp seeing 2 ohms nominal. I haven't measured it yet but the box rise doesn't seem to be too bad. How power can i expect at12v 2ohms each? Then down the line after upgrading my alt what can i expect at 12v and 14v .5ohm each? Do you guys think I'd be okay running them at .5ohm each with my current electrical and a 300amp fuse?

Those with experience you're input is greatly appreciated.

With the right electrical you can expect to see about 3000 watts rms out of a strapped pair with your coils in parallel. I have done alot of testing with these amps, they are pretty good for the money. Two of them will definately be stronger then a kicker 2500.1. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I've always gotten 2000W each out of them, give or take 100W @ 13.8V
