Hey David yes I have been using them a while now and have great results as well as no issues and good power output on the lows for the subs.

[@cristovalmontoya5222]

Nice did you notice any difference on low end performance since you been using full bridge amps compared to the Korean half bridge designs. I’m running the ds18 hooligan ko series it’s Korean fullbridge but it’s sized small like the Brazilian amps. I thought about going fullbridge because the same amount of power costs less but is it worth it. People say half ridge sound lower in bass but I don’t believe that I think it all in your settings and box for how low it sounds

[@JacobViral]

I was previously running full bridge Vulcan and swapping to these I can tell a little cleaner low bass then before. It’s all in user preference as audibly it’s hard to tell unless you play real lows

[@groundshakersociety6637]

Just a wtf question ...where's your fuses I didn't see any during the install maybe I'll see them at the end? I was told that you needed fuses between your battery in your amps within 12 in of your battery in case something goes wrong. was I lied to?

[@OrionHCCC26]

He only fuses the after alt runs to the batteries.

[@christhopherlasher2828]

@@OrionHCCC26 I had a dd 2500 fused at first battery then not fused a second.. the amp was installed that way by a company and it popped, and when it did it took 2 kicker cvr 15s with it 🙄...so that's why I was like new amps ,not fused, big risk , or that's what I've been lead to believe..

[@OrionHCCC26]

@@christhopherlasher2828 I'll tell ya a "secret," most big builds don't use fuses after the alt run. Putting fuses after that (in between batteries and amps, ect, is a waist of time and just adds more resistance. But the point is, putting fuses in those areas won't matter. Know why? Because they power supplies inside the amps will pop before the fuses do. This is fact. So that's why all of us big builds don't fuse in those areas. Don't play into all the people preaching to fuse in every dam spot cause it doesn't matter. Fuse your runs off your alt (in between alt and first battery) and you'll be good to go.

[@JacobViral]

I fuse from front to back only incase I do back work but not between battery and amp as I like a direct line to amp from battery for best current. It’s safe to have fuses yes.

Or maybe 🤔 just one md12 @.33 ohm but the Power consumption and efficiency will be affected negatively with the md line. Other 2 amplifier options are 2 bass 8k ($660) or (2 bravo 8k amps ($520ea) I’m trying run 12 d2 subs 1100 rms each. But they can take more watts at times.
