@Arthur K high quality Korean board amplifiers for the price of this amplifier is amazing

@Arthur K Your comment has me a little confused, whats does a much lower power class a/b amp series value have to do with this high power class d budget amp value?

Your always doing these tests on these big amps Derek which are awesome by the way. Loving to see them put those watts. The one thing i love is the prices of them actually fit in your budgets too. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@mikewalker4950]

90 volts would be (close to) clean for 4 ohm but 1 ohm should be 70 volts and 2 ohm should be 82 based on these tests. Voltage would only stay the same if the power doubled for every halving of the impedance.

[@detonationpyrotechnics4156]

I tuned my amp to 91v exactly as you did, and when I'm planning the 40hz test tone, I'm getting a solid clip light on the knob, the headunits set to 3/4 volume so it should still be a clean signal.

I’m wanting to run all four in my truck with a 4th order blow through and my question is would one of these amps be enough to push all four subs? or would I need two? I apologize in advance as I’m just starting out in the car audio world and I’m trying to learn as much as I can as I go along. I can afford two, but I’d rather just purchase one if I can get away with just the single amp. Thanks again guys!
