power ratings
If he smelled smoke it is definately too much power for them. With 3 subwoofers on each amp you could wire them to 0.66ohms, 1.5 ohms or 6 ohms, if my math is right..

Output Power VS Fuse Ratings
To produce x watts you need to 'consume' y amount of watts. Doesn't matter if it's at 5 ohms, 50 ohms or 0.5 ohms. And doesn't matter if the rail voltage is 10v or 200v. I don't know who the guy who posted the voltage rail argument is, his reasoning behind the fuse vs power rating is stupid. And one more thing about the voltage rail vs power output. The voltage rail will drop under load because of the current demand. Measure the voltage at the outputs when it is wired at 8 ohms and measure when it is wired well below 8 ohms. Heck, measure the voltage rail and see that it drops below the idle value. Ray at Tips certainly doesn't bring the fues thing into discussion. He simply explains what you can do with high rail voltage. To produce high power at high impedance you need high voltage. People have been obsessing over fuse ratings for too long. The manufacturer considered it's safe to use a fuse that is rated at a certain amperage. It is there just to protect the amplifier in case something goes wrong. Fuses don't instantly blow when there is a bit more current passing through them. Using fuses to determine the power output of an amplifier is like shooting in the dark, blindfolded and with 2 crippled hands holding the gun. I don't have any fuses on my Z1. Does that mean it will produce 0 watts ? Or unlimited power ?

Welcome to the IHoP
If all in ideal enclosures, it would play louder than a BL or Q with the same power. If you were expecting a problem with doing that, then you need to do so more research. It will NEVER hurt a sub to give it less power unless the operator compensates like an idiot with the stupid knob, err gain knob. I've had the rear channels of a kx350.4 on the xxx after I sold the sub amp at a competition. Ive 'burped' it with 750w. Daily use with 500w for over a year. Not a single problem so far. Also took 2000w, an almost square wave for >20 burps with no problem. I'm almost the same. I ran a 12" Nightshade on the rear channels of my 100.4 for a week till I got my 3000D hooked up. OMG dawg, quick, put some moar powar to dat sub or it will blow !

Welcome to the IHoP
Love those amps, only thing I don't like is their signal input limit is about 2volts I think. Yes, I remember they have a low limit. That kinda scared me, even though I know I only get 2.8~3v out of my Alpine at vol 30.

does anyone know how to use termlab on a mac
I can only think of using a windows virtual machine. That's how we did it when we only had a macbook on our hands...

Welcome to the IHoP
start making screw jokes like I did yesterday "I don't think these 1" screws are long enough, think I should use the 1 1/4"?" "Why not, an extra quarter inch in length never hurt anybody" hehehe Among other random gibberish I typed...

$200-$220 considering they are bnib. I bought a pair of L4's for $170 or $180 (not for me) but they were used.- Welcome to the IHoP
Almost bought a Studio 500 before buying the AG 750. 'Twas $100 more than the AG- Welcome to the IHoP
Been watching that for some time. Every few days I look for Zapco's on ebay even though I know I shouldn't buy anymore amps.- Welcome to the IHoP

What determines if an amp is an 'ess que' amp or not... ? And what does is have to do with what woofer it will amplify ?- Welcome to the IHoP
Done with the last project for beeing able to use projects from the last semester. Now I only have to write the documentation which should go smoothly.- Welcome to the IHoP

First time you took things out of proportion. We didn't mean that it will make it break instantly when a cool breeze blows onto it- 97 Maxima Build Log
For your first time glassing I think they turned out very nice !- Using support thread rods as speaker terminals also
Considering threaded rods are usually big in diameter, I wouldn't worry too much about resistance. If there is no risk that the rods come in contact together or come in contact to the bodywork of the car...go for it. - Welcome to the IHoP
