my instaler said he riggedit to push 100 rms into each of my cvrs bridged and in mono or something

i have the gains on half and im afraid to turn it up, will it blow them? does the amp push so much power bridged at a low ohm rate?

 

I have that amp but do you mean 100RMS or 1000 RMS?
Theres no way that amp can push 1000 let alone 2000 so don't worry. Let me know how it is wired up and i can probably work it out. I also have a manual in PDF format if you don't have one.

hifonics bx1500d puts out 1000 watt rms at 2 ohms. only costs 300 bucks.

dude a guy on tempro said it does 1000x2 at 14.4 volts at 1 ohms i think, why isn't it possible?

 

Cool, what the guys name?
I was talking to another guy on there who tried it but it fried wthin an hour. There is a switch on there which is for 'low impedence' but the general concensus among people I talked to is that it would fry the amp running it at 1 ohm with or without the switch. I would love to be proven wrong though, it is a great amp.

 

DARKHART is his name

i tried it on low impedance and it was pounding, also tried it in momo bridged with a y splitter in one of the rcas as thats some way of getting more power or some sjit, lol, oh well i love it no matter how much power

 

So how long have you had it running it at 1 ohm in one go? ever shut down on you? I found mine runs hot enough to melt the floor mats even running at 2 ohms. What have you done with the speaker wires, do you have two wires into the +ve and 2 into the -ve?

 

it shut off a few times im not even sure if its at 1 ohm really, speaker wires are joined on the connecters on the box with one set going to the bridged amp, it gets hella hot after about an hour of volume 20, lol

it rocks though! love this amp to death!

 

So are your subs dual voice coil? how many ohms? Make sure your amp is set to mono and you have some decent sized cable, it's no class D so it'll be drawing a LOT of current.
I'm quite interested to know if it can handle the strain, please IM me if you ever have problems with it.

 

subs are dvc 4ohm kicker comp vrs

i have 4awg to the dist block then 8awg to the amp and ground, ill increase the ground to 4awg soon as i get more money

sometimes i play it on stereo sometimes on mono, it gets mighty hot on mono and will sht off sometimes, it gets hot but i still like to touch it haha i love pain, lol

i will be sure to keep you up to date, i THINK a bigger battery or upgraded wires/alt would increase the wattage availble

alpine amps work at 14.4 volts no?..

 

Ok, with 2x4 ohm DVC's your installer will have wired it up in either parallel or series.

I suspect he will have wired it in a series which will result in a 4 ohm load presented to the amp. To the amp, this will be like connecting a normal 4 ohm sub so when you bridge it the subs will receive around 300RMS each.

When wiring it in parallel it presents a 1 ohm load to the amp. When bridging it you will get the amp running at less than one ohm which you amp will not like at all. I don't think the installer would have done this.

The voltage of 14.4 is around what your altenator produces when the engine is running (in reality it's less than this)
Upgrading your ground, power wire and altenator will all help it sustain the current but you don't need anything special to make voltage over 12V. Pretty much all car electrical equipment is made to fluctuate between 11-15V

 

interesting, anyway im bored with it now doesn't seem as power ful, kicker amps here i come

Heh, fair enough

 

lol, i get bored easily, got a 1000 watt sound barrier platinum series amp today about to test it

i love testing different amps on my subs!
