Sundown 1000d overrated?

[ls2poweredgoat 5,000+ posts]

I was just looking at the specs on the Sundown 1000d on SSA.com, and I noticed the fuse rating is only 75. Wouldn't that mean at 100% efficiency (75 x 14.4) it would only be putting out 1080 watts? But amps aren't 100% efficient, so wouldn't it actually be putting out around 800 watts rms at 1-ohm?

Has anyone ever benched one of these?

Are you guys saying "underrated" because Sundown is a forum boner?

I'm just trying to learn...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Never benched mine, but its very solid power. If anything underrated, I recall reading somewhere that it puts out about 1133watts@1ohm. Just what I read though...

I hope nobody thinks I'm bashing Sundown, I know they make a great product, but I'm just curious as to how it makes that much power on such a low fuse rating.

Good question, I am curious as well.

I didn't take it that you were bashing at all. good question that I can't answer. I would ask squeak.

tested at 1100 watts @ 12.8v. Fuses have a tolerance, for instance I have passed 4kw thorugh 90 amps of fusing before //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
