Taramps and mofo sub

[mrpep]

So I bought a mofo 104x cause it’s 1200 rms and I threw a taramps he 3000 amp at it, running this at 2ohms and the amp should be able to put out like 1500 rms at 2ohms. So I have the sub in a ported and it’s not as loud as I expected. I start clipping so it’s pushing the power out so I back off a bit to safe zone and leave there. I have a w7 on a alpine in my Yukon and it blows this mofo away, the w7 is only like 700 rms. I feel like something is not right? The HU is a Sony x1000 CarPlay HU and I run 4 gage cable to the system. What am I missing! Why is a 700 rms louder and deeper than a 1200 / 1500 amp and sub?

You had that W7 box designed correct?
The Mofo box is prefab... Enuff said.

Don't have the electrical to support the Taramps amp.
Terrible prefab box.
Box rise.
Clipping doesn't mean you are pushing alot of power.
Different vehicle.

You're comparing a Power Acoustik sub in a pre fab to a W7?

I didn't even catch that. I had Memphis Mojo in my head for some reason.

Brazilian amps while being ok they actually are not well suited for really low sustained bass.personally i would go with a korean amp because american made is almost nonexistent.the orion is bad ass

Mine seems fine. I play the bass 5k amp all day in Florida heat and never had any issue.

Also I don't think where the amp is built matters other than quality control I guess. If the factory that builds those sundown amps burnt down and they sent the blueprints to a factory in Brazil it would still be the same amp just a different build house.

I AM NOT A SUNDOWN FAN BOY. i am a old school fosgate fan boy. it's not the heat it's or the build house i would rather south america than asia those brazil amps are quality built and not just a generic china build house board. the design is actually optimized for a different type of music,short burst of low bass and alot of higher 50htz notes most american music has alot of lower bass. i hope a 5 thousand watt amp duz the job lol. i'm glad your amp is working out for you.

You are living in the past. Taramps has a line just for subwoofers and rated at 40hz. Even the HD line does rated power at 40hz and 12.8 volts. I've ran quite a few HDs on subwoofers myself.

BTW my buddy has that HCCA3000SPL and sees no where near the power that dyno shows. 2660 clamped at 1.8 ohms.


Here is a little MD8000 clamp

Mine is the taramps bass 5k made for subs.

I bought the 5k to hopefully get 2k watts out of it
