[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8433877, member: 650438"] It'll laugh at it unless you are wiring to .5 ohms or lower, then it'll be just "satisfied" with the power. Stuff on paper and real world is different. If you have a 3.5k amp and are only wired to 1 ohm, expect to be at 1750-1800 watts at 35 ish hertz burp after rise afterwards thats just barely enough to fully feed the sub. Head room is always good. I'd really just pick up that taramps 8k that gotgixers has for sale in the classifieds section. You can either wire higher or set the gain for only 3k rms via the multi-meter and have head room. Its not gonna kill your electrical as long as you keep it low. When you got enough batteries, you can let loose. I'm sure you'll be a lot happier than you would be with a 3.5k. I actually get way louder and less voltage drops with my banda 7k then my DC 3.5k and they are about the same price used/new. The banda is also ice cold, sitting there on its @ss barely doing anywork but its already way louder than my 3.5k [/QUOTE]
