@@jermainephillips5179 how is he mistaken? The Smart 5k does 6,000 watts at 2 ohms and basically the same at 1 ohm. Jacob said this was his low peak, so the minimum impedance the amplifier will ever see playing tones or music, and the 8k put out less than 5k watts. The smart 5k would had put out 6k watts at that ohm load. How is that not more power? The Smart 3k and Smart 5k put out power like much larger amplifiers than they are once you factor in impedance rise.

So you got a rise from 1 ohm to almost 2 ohm ?? I'm curious so I'm thinking every amp that is wired to 1 ohm has a rise to 2 ohm. And maybe if I was wired down to .5 ohms I would rise to somewhere in the 1 ohm area???? . I need to know this that way I can make my decision on what amplifier to get. Power wise. I need a good dependable daily amp to power my two Sundown x10v3.
@JacobViral2 жыл бұрын
Not every frequency note always rises 2x or more, some notes will only be 1x to 1.5x? Etc rise or less or minimal/no rise. A lot blow amps wiring down as certain notes are hurting the amp with no rise.

@@superior3384very nice so for a pair of x v3 rated I recall 2,000 rms; I would go with an 8,000 and not 5,000 as your going to want extra head room so you don’t max the amp ever ever and keep it clean so the subs will be safe like you want.

whats the most powerful amp I can get that is 4 gauge power/ground? I knew I should have just asked for 0 gauge on my install but my alternator is only 100A so I thought it'd be overkill.
@Joe_17762 жыл бұрын
If you only have a 100amp alt, wouldn't go more than 1k watts. You can't really power much with a 100amp alt, your vehicle uses roughly 60% of the stock alts amp output, so that leaves you with only 40ish amps to use and that's not going to do much even with extra batteries. EDIT: Furthermore 4 gauge wire, if its ofc can only handle 100-125amps max for runs 10-19ft long.
@jimjones32872 жыл бұрын
@@Joe_1776 with your maths my car can only generate about 500 watts (40A x 14V) so why recommend a 1000 watt amp? I used for 4 gauge wire precisely because it can handle what my alt puts out (100 amps). So you're saying an extra battery or 2 is useless? I have a 1500 watt amp in there right now that has already blown an 800 rms sub from over excursion not heat so I know it's putting out more than 500 watts. (ultrasonic was turned on).
@Joe_17762 жыл бұрын
@@jimjones3287 A 1k amp isn't going to be pulling max amperage 100% of the time, due to impedance rise it will be doing more like 200-500 watts rms which is iine with 40amps to spare from your alt. Batteries require amperage to charge too, it might help a tiny bit with voltage drop, but you'd still be feeding dirty power (clipping), which is likely what you did to that 800 watt rms sub you blew. If that 1500 watt amp was a true 1500 rms amp, it would've been pulling amperage away from what your vehicle needed and causing voltage drop, possible light dimming and that sub would've seen nothing but clipping dirty power. You can clip a sub to death even if you have solid eletrical, if your head unit is sending a clipped signal, or having bass boost on, the gains on your amp to high, or simple as playing music with clipping in it. Assuming you have a stock battery that's roughly 15ah and 40 amps to spare the rms watts you could put out is in the high 400s, giving the amps efficiency is 65-70% anything over that will be 100% dirty power and would kill any sub. You will never pull 100amps from a 100amp alt to your car amp, you would be lucky to pull 50-60 amps to your car amp on bursts with a high risk of burning your alt up, the computer in your vehicle, amp and subs.

@@Joe_1776nice info 👍my amp clips but not 100% lol more like 5% I have a clip indicator so I can visually see if it's clean output or not. The sub blew from over excursion on a burp not from clipping. I never claimed to get 1500 watts continuous on a 100 amp alt but I'm not getting only 400 watts my sub is moving violently. I feel the breeze cooling my head from the port (~1.5 cubes ported behind driver seat) on those low notes even when I wire down to 2 ohms (rated 980 wrms at 2 ohms). So I guess moral of the story is stick with my current amp as my car won't be able to push more than what I'm pushing now which is already pretty substantial (my bass on head unit is on -5 which is the lowest it can go....) but yeah no way I'm seeing 1500 or even 1000 watts continuous but maybe dynamically I'm seeing around 1000. Thanks for the info again.

I've used quite a few different stetsoms of varying wattages. Never a problem. I have several builds using stetsom for both bass and mids and highs, not a single problem. Lots of Taramps as well, no problems with either. Vehicles are a wide range, some with strong electrical, some with weak stock alts and batts. No problems with any of them, other than a couple ham fisting customers, killing drivers with the abundance of cheap compact, clean power.
