Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10495 Registered: Dec-03 | cuspid is total crap. class D amps are 80% efficient. Class AB are about 50%. class AB amplifiers draw a lot of current, and get very hot. They also have a larger footprint than a class D amp of the same output. The 2500D will still draw about 250A of current at full output though, so be aware of that. You'll still need to upgrade your charging system for an amplifier that big. that US Amps amplifier is a terrific amp, but it does draw a lot of current, and unless you're using a minivan, you're going to have to be creative to fit that into a car and still maintain any functionality. |

Silver Member Username: Lil_jonPost Number: 133 Registered: Jul-05 | yea The biggest alt I can get Is a 275 amp alt the dude at EXCESSIVE AMPERAGE said he has guys running 250 plug into 3k watt amps and are doing fine I dont Know how to take that Will I need a Battery,caps? to aid the 275 alt amp because at some point and time this amp will be running full throttle I dont plan on keeping the avalanches forever because the low power handling the new XXX will replace it my other car I will go all eclipse http://www.eclipse-web.com/sw9100/sw9152pro.html looks promising altho It seems it will never go as low as the avalanch but seems to Rival the XXX as far as going low is concerned |

I shouldn't have done that, now I want it... And 1k isn't bad for that amp, but I don't want to make my Jeep a competition vehicle, yet. :P |
