How are you doing today my name is Duane and I have a fire and it's called power base I want to send you a picture of it is there an email address is there a way I can send you a picture to it I want to see if you could tell me if I can use it as it'll be nice to hear back from you let me know if I can send you a picture thank you and have a wonderful and keep on sending more videos cuz I love watching them

I love the cooling on this amp. Those fans look like they will keep the amplifier cool.

[@groundshakersociety6637]

You should see what it puts out at a higher voltage. These can take up to 16v but will go into protect at 17

Fresh out the box and the negative speaker terminal on the amp is all jacked up, id be pissed.

Slow the speed down on your test. For a split sec the amp did 96.8V and 90.3A

For testing the real time power you should just buy a termlab

You gonna donate term lab money fir Jacob?there's always a better way of doing things but money is a factor to most people In the real world.imjs🤷🏾‍♂️

[@1ohmwrecker]

That's why I love my taramps smart amps! My 5k does more than that 8k, ya know🤷‍♂️

[@jermainephillips5179]

U are mistaken...

[@catch22frubert]

@@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.

[@TheGratefulBard]

Yes but the smart 5k gets hot in about 30 seconds i have four i know they wont stay cool for shit I just returned my smart 5s i dont even know what im gonna do now maybe the md 12000 but idk

Question, should I try to get it repaired and if so, where? Also, I really want to purchase something now, will this stetsom come close to matching it? I am pushing 2 HCCA's 12's. Thanks for yur time!

Idk any amp repair places sorry but could try orion and see if they know? As far as this 8000 watt stetsom amp amzn.to/3wYHNtn , it's a good option but not the same technology as your orion 5000 but will put out similar or more power as that amp you got so good option for 2 hcca 12s.

Hey y’all my amp blew but my fuses didn’t I need help? On the 3k bravo

[@JacobViral]

Could be from vibration, bad electrical, or clipping it to death.

[@faithfirst9775]

@@JacobViral thanks man I appreciate it found out that I needed to upgrade my wire from 4 guage to 0 guage no more issues with this new 3k

[@jimjones3287]

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_1776]

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.

[@jimjones3287]

@@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_1776]

@@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.

[@jimjones3287]

@@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.

[@jimjones3287]

@@Joe_1776 and yes amp does rated it's CEA certified (Fosgate R1200.1) and yes if I play it loud enough it will dim my lights and clip but I don't turn it up that high because it shakes the car too much so I can't enjoy the bass).

[@anttiback8350]

So you might use 2ohm's amplifier easy, not 1 ohm's.

[@JacobViral]

It started at 1 ohm, ended at 2.1 for the frequency tested after rise to get true power at 2.1 ohm 👍

[@superior3384]

Jacob. Is stetson the same as sound digital Evo????????????. Every time I look up sound digital Evo 8k. I see the stetson amps .

[@JacobViral]

Cant be, too many differences and separate manufacturing locations.

[@superior3384]

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.

[@JacobViral]

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.

[@superior3384]

@@JacobViral got Cha. I like running my amp at 1 ohm. To be on the safe side. Thinking about getting a teramps smart 5. But I'm afraid of dependability and or save money and go with something better???

[@JacobViral]

@@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. More power isn’t more power when you learn limits. Check my latest community post poll to see what I mean. 👍

I been running a Vulcan 3000 on 2 American Bass Elite 15’s 4 ohm dvc wired to 1 ohm and it’s the deepest n hardest bass I’ve ever had. Never gets hot

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

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.

[@RomaVilla]

I use to have a stetsom Ex3k and it lasted longer than my sfb2k. I used it for a yr and then sold it and bought a taramps 3k MD. Sfb2k caught on fire 3 times before I sold the 4th replacement and bought an Orion Hcca 3k and then a bc6k, never going back to full bridge unless I'm running mids on them.
