whys that? some new batteries charge at 14.4 not to mention people buy alternators that can keep 14.4 at high draws like this.

@cdbennett2332 There is no amplifier in this world that is 100 percent efficient it even shows you that on the dyno the most power you will get out of any amplifier is dynamic burst and uncertified up to clipping is voltage drop?Bro I'm almost 57 years old I been into car audio since 1992?Dyno and real world music is two different things thats why some amplifiers go into protection at .5ohms?Because it has no impedance rise?And then you take that same amplifier and hook it up in your vehicle at .5ohms and it will rise up to 1 to 1.5 ohms facts in so many words buy you a amplifier twice the power of your subwoofers that way you don't have to worry about it overheating and you will have enough head room before it starts clipping Remember clipping destroys subwoofers?

@@ceciljones1248 yeah but you mentioned tests need to be ran at 12.5. Also all runs are at multiple impedances. So that accounts for rise. Don't write a book to justify bullshit.

@cdbennett2332 Then buy it and see all I know is back in the late 80s and early 90s amplifiers were rated at battery voltage 12.5 OK and anything after that you get a little more power after the voltage goes up to 14.4 which is alternator charging you can get a little more voltage from lithium batteries because they can take 16 volts on a charger vs agm ?Lithium batteries batteries charge faster than agm that's why people start using them final

current draw over 900 beast electrical needed for this beast amp

Hell no it's a full bridge design. Shouldn't be anywhere over $1000 if not is do yourself a favor an grab the taramps smart 8. Sundowns full bridge are hit an miss. Their half bridge designs like the sae the SCV line up an the infamous NS-1 were nasty!!!

@HERTZHEROIN , have a smart 5K Bass in the box still, but looking for more power for 4 12" U's V.1 with D1 recones. Salt amps are way outta my price zone currently.

@@kylebainter8595 so hear me out. Are you a brand sticker. Like does it have to be sundown amp? Id highly recommend the Orion hcca 8k. Realistically it's a damn 15k falsely badged because they make over rated @ 12.8v so just like any amp that does it's rated at the proper 12v range like the salt does. Anything in the 14.8 an up will absolutely get nasty with how much you can clamp. It'll do half ohm all day as long as your box rise is within reason. just use dual inputs on its dual inputs. Big D whiz did the 4500. An the 3000splx which I own. Now I know the Dyno in dynamic mode isn't the same as on a subwoofer but the damn 3k dynamic at 15.1v half ohm did 13k...... Ain't no amp rated for 3k doing that half ohm dynamic just a hair over 15v. only other amp I've seen do crazy numbers over rated was surge audio an ruthless amps

@@kylebainter8595 I paid 699 for my 3k HCCA splx. It's got 3 power an 3 ground inputs... An it's not just for show 😂

​@@TrunkThunderLithiumI just sold my Hcca 3k hate myself for it but didn't have choice right now money super tight. But it was a beast

Sundown SIA all day

Only their customer service sucks Try returning anything there

@@Contact_Info I mean, I can only speak from my experience alone, but I ordered a jp40 lithium bank and got a jp630 supercap instead, called them up that night, got the return slip that night, had it shipped out the morning after, Friday, and I received my jp40 Wednesday, so from nc to Nevada and back to nc in 6 days total counting weekend ain’t too bad, I haven’t had a bad experience, I thought it was quite easy honestly

I got mine to do 14k at 1 ohm 😂

16k

Salt for sure

@BigBoyOGBassLife54 I have a salt 1.5 and it clips really easy makes the woofer pop

What does your gains look like?

@BigBoyOGBassLife54 its tuned with a rta barely a little half ways . It made decent power on the amm1 made close to 2400 watts . But where my gain is set it sounds kinda weak . I'm powering a b2 audio rage xl 12 inch

@@smurfeco2.358 any loudness/bass boost settings on? Is your electrical up to par? That sounds unusual to be clipping easily
