Bronze Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 24 Registered: Mar-06 | Yeah.. That's probably the best thing to do!... ORRRR!!!! You can get cheap and buy (4) Boss Ripper-D 3000Watt Amps and put 2 on each voice coil... and Bridge all 4 together... you'll get about (2200)*(4) 8800 watts ( 8200 rms ) |

Bronze Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 43 Registered: Mar-06 | Depending on which Series/Model you get.. Mine is fused @ 4x30amp ... If I come to Greenboro, NC this summer... I'll give you a holla! |
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 1759 Registered: Sep-05 | my 1000d amp had more fuses thant that, 40X4= 160a! if u want 10,000 watts totatl?? I highly doubt that been a RMS value, so if u want easy 5000rms, just get 2 orion 2500ds |

Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 1767 Registered: Sep-05 | my amp has NO fuse, lol... it can draw over 200 amps at full tilt... it needs to be fused within 12ft with a external ANL fuse............ |
Bronze Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 46 Registered: Mar-06 | HAHA!... That's awesome B ... I have family in Greensboro & Fayetteville! I should be there this coming up summer! Cam - My boss amp pushs 2100 or 2200 rms But since I have 2, and they are dataly connected and bridged, I have a Max 6000 watts, w/ 4600 rms b/c it drops to .5 ohm |
Silver Member Username: MixmastaspigCanada, Canada Canada Post Number: 477 Registered: Sep-05 | My amp also has no fuse, has to be externally fused as well. Mine will draw 120a at full tilt but is 2000rms, Dark Blue by Helix. |
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 2420 Registered: Mar-04 | DJ, boss amps wont put out anywhere near their rated power...i have owned and installed quite a few. i had a boss "2800w" amp once and i swapped it out for a jbl bp600.1...the JBL killed the boss on every level. also...one way to kinda guess-tamate how much an amp will put out is to do multiply fuse rating by input volage. 4*30= 120 120A * 14.4V = 1728w (and that is if the amp is 100% efficient...and nothing is 100% efficient) this would be a better guess: 1728 * 80% = 1382.4w |
Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 485 Registered: Jan-05 | Thats interesting. I have a kicker kx600.1, It has two 30 amp fuse. It benches around 725 rms @ 2 ohms. So I cant see how your amplifier is able to put out 2200 rms @ 2 ohms(three times mine) with only twice the fuseing. Doesnt seem mathematicly sound to me. Peace |
Bronze Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 53 Registered: Mar-06 | No.. It's 2200 @ 1ohm ... I own 4 JBL amps JBL1201.1 JBL600.1 JBL300.1 JBL80.1 They are UNDERRATED.. The 1201.1 says 1374 rms it's really 1700+ rms... |

Silver Member Username: Sw9152Post Number: 131 Registered: Feb-06 | they are kind of difficult to find, but the older style(big and black) directed 2400d is comparable to the orion 2500d. |
Bronze Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 55 Registered: Mar-06 | I'm powering 2 S12L7s ... Soon to be 3... SW9152 ... That is a monster amp! |
