if you upgrade the big 3 you should be fine with a stock alt. on that little bit of power

 

what does that comment mean? i have a a/b amp thats rated at 1600 @ 4 ohms and has been tested at 1800 @ 4 ohms.

 

what do the different classes mean? mines a class D. is that good?

 

a/b are less effecient, will draw more power, will it not.....at least thats what I was lead to believe.

class D is a mono sub amp, built specifically for driving subs

 

hmm i see what you sayin blazin
i dont know what i should do.
i have subs already but i just need a good amp i guess that can run at 1500watts
any sugguestions?
it could be 1200 watts also i just want something in that range.

 

well I would like to suggest a sundown, but its a little hard to find one used, and their a little pricey.

what subs and voice coil config.?

but really with that crunch I bet you would only get around 500 watts, if your lucky. then the gain/bass boostwould get maxed out to compensate for that and it wouldnt sound too great......

but cheap power hifonics is the way to go. this amp has been suggested a million times....but oh well, its a good deal.

^^^its power, not the best quality, but it will definatly kick the crunch.

^^ tested at .35 ohms over 2200rms on an 85 amp alt(dual batts)

 

i hear good things about hifonics
yeah thats a good deal for what i need
btw..what is dynamic music watts anyway?

 

that term is used as a scam to make a buyer think he is getting that much power. along with "max" or "peak"

you want to look for the "rms" wattage, which means continuous power.

some companies rate their amps at different voltages also.
the higher the voltage themore power it will produce.

for example the hifonics is probably rated at 14.4 volts which is as high as most charging systems charge to. BUT as soon as you add a load to the charging system the voltage will drop, resulting in a decrease in amplifier output.

while the sundown is rated at 12.8 volts(1500watts rms@12.8 volts)

then when you start your engine the charging system bumps up to 14.4(idealy) so then the power from the amp exceeds the rated output.

 

hmmm makes sense now.
yeah i know what RMS is. thats what i always look for
i love going to CC or Best Buy and they try and trick you into thinking that.
i've helped a few people from getting ripped off

 

youre a bit off bud. there are plenty of full range class D amps available on the market. Just to name a couple... alpine PDX and eclipse XA. Class D is not only for subs.
