SAZ-3000D enough power?

[streetbeater07 0]

Ok, I have a SAZ-3000D that i will be using on 3 dual 2 ohm aa havocs in a 6.2 cube enclosure tuned to 32hz. My question is, will this amp be enough power to push them to their potential? I have the big three done in 1/0, dual runs to the rear, 3x yellowtops in rear, redtop up front and mechman 270A alt. What kind of power can i expect from this setup out of this amp? I been thinking of upgrading to a saz-3500d, but is the trade off worth it? If i will only be gaining 200-300 wrms then ill just keep the 3000d. Feel free to chime in and give your feedback on this. Thanks

I think you'd be happiest with a 4500 wired to 1.33 ohms.

3000D won't push them to their full potential, 3500D, only a few more watts, you'll only see maybe a 2-3 db gain over the 3000D, maybe even less.

4500D will give you 1500 to each at 1 ohm, 1.33, good electrical, good amp, probably close to that # still, as these amps are very nice.

If you already have the saz3k, use it. thats plenty of power. Really!

ya i was thinking the same thing. It wont be worth it to get a 3500 and the 4500 is out of my budget plus i would have to sell my amp 1st..

500 watts will get you 2-3 dB?

not sir!!!!!! good catch

No, it won't. Going from 3000 to 3500 watts will yield, oh......maybe .5 db.

[slim2fattycake 85]

with 3k already, you'll be lucky to get .5dB with 500 watts extra.

i just want it to be loud to the ear. I dont do any competing, just looking for a solid daily ground pounder.

[slim2fattycake 85]

Then don't waste the money on 500 more watts that you won't hear.

[Duran 387]

Oh yeah more power or else they won't work! Oh wait that's a stupid, completely idiotic way of thinking.

Well maybe if he was running at 250watts, that would be double the power, potential 3 db gain, wasn't really thinking, 3000 to 3500, would only be around a .5 db gain in a perfect environment I suppose.

I did say maybe less...But, that 3000D will run ~ 2400-2700 watts would you say @ 1.33 ohms, a 4500D, would run closer to 3200-3500 watts...still only ~800 more watts.

Get another 3000D strapped at .66 ohms per amp, now that's the ticket! lol... Not really worth it, plus that would be a little too much for the subs and low ohms for a daily.

2 saz-2kd would be nice....strapped @ 1.34

The 3500D excels on a reactive load - you can see around 1 dB at a 1 ohm load vs. a 3000D.
