Taramps?

No they are more efficient than Korean amps.

Brazilian amps have smaller inputs because in brazil the amps are mounted within 3 feet of the battery banks. A 4 gauge wire will handle quite alot of amperage at only 3 feet.

The HD8000 will be the best bang for your buck at $460 over the 5k that is $430.

The prices are insane. I love to pay less but it just doesnt make sense lolol.

I did read on a thread at work (different site) that the taramps can give so much power because they require higher voltage than most. I've seen some dyno test and they are from 12.8-14.8v, there's a lot of mixed reviews on them.

I also read where a guy had 3 big amps at a meet or competition and his amp would switch to protect mode. He also claimed others at the meet/show had same issue. I think it was the Stevemadden forum. Same thread, some guy said it's common for taramps to go into protect mode and they blow easily.

Have you personally ran taramp amps with success?

Ive had 10 Taramps amps and never blown a single one. Brazilian amps are full bridge technology. They run a much much higher rail voltage. The HD(except the 15k) line should not be ran under rated ohm load. Do not hard clip them above 15 volts. My TS series Taramps would voltage protect at 15.3 and turn right back on once voltage dropped to 15.2. Senchez would run his 6 8ks voltage into the dirt constantly. They would voltage protect all the time and then pop right back on no problem.

Assuming your system was purposely placed above 15volts or does the amp auto draw +15volts? my voltage does not go higher than 14.6 and that's at startup.

With current amp, I have dual runs of 0ga, would this be pointless to do same on a taramps amp? If not, id try and machine the dual 0ga copper adapter to fit the taramp.

I'm still tripping on price lol.
