TighT! yah I guess alot of companys rate there the amps low so you can enter {AND WIN} compitions at a low watt class - like japan cars vs. american, like hell the Evo VII has 276 :rolleyes:

1600 watts RMS, and that's rated at 12.5 volts!
I asked you TonyD cause I noticed you mentioned that you have no light dimming problems, I do cause not only is my amp power hungry, it puts out a lot of watts.
By the way my 12's are wired at 1 ohm.

By the way my 12's are wired at 1 ohm. Lights don't dim? do you have a cap? new alternator? 2nd battery? and is that the only amp you have ?... only reason I ask, I have a 600x1@4ohm + 300x1@4ohm(split 4 ways)-(RMS) and even with my cap fully charged to 14.4 it still dims the lights at idel. Either this amp isn't doing what it says it will or you have some backup of some sorts in between the battery & amp(s). Even my Explorers 4.0 lt V6 dimmed w/the same set up. Both of these are Alpine, so the watts are about correct - 750-950 W RMS.

Dimming lights isn't due purely to the wattage of an amp. It could be poor vehicle wiring, a low output alternator, an amp with very few/small internal capacitors, a worn alternator, loose accessory belts, inadequate wiring, an old/worn battery, etc...
I'm sure you get the idea. BTW, a few on this board with dimming problems have simply upgraded the (-) battery cable which connects the battery to the chassis and have solved/minimized their dimming problem.

Well the wiring/alternator is prob the same as yours and everybody else on this board, 99 Duratech. I have 4gauge rockford cable, protected w/a 100amp blade-type fuse(at the battery) then to a dist. block/fuse(cyldr)holder ..then 1 8gauge wire to the 1farad cap then to the sub amp(which is running nominal at 4ohms) - the other 8gauge is NOT on the cap but straight to a 4 channel( I have tried useing the cap for both ) All wire is up to par and the ground is 2 8gauge meeting at the same place. But I don't really have a problem, I really just wanted to see if the guy w/the 1600 amp was doing the same or worse as a comparison. :p
