Posted February 12, 200916 yr is one powermaster 3100 in the front cell enough for one saz 3000d?or will i need one powermaster in the front cell, and one in the back of the vehicle.i should be pulling around 2000 watt rms
February 12, 200916 yr is one powermaster 3100 in the front cell enough for one saz 3000d?or will i need one powermaster in the front cell, and one in the back of the vehicle.i should be pulling around 2000 watt rmsuh, that Sundown cranks out a lot more than 2k (unless you're at like 2Ω or something.) But MOST cars wont fit a group 31 battery up front. Why not just isolate your front stock battery for all the regular car operations & put the PM D3100 in the back strictly for subs?Or put the D3100 in the back & say a D2700/2400 in the front?
February 12, 200916 yr Author well im gonna turn the amp down cuz im only needing 2000 watt rms.so pretty much put an upgraded battery in the front cellthe one powermaster in the back for the subs?
February 12, 200916 yr well im gonna turn the amp down cuz im only needing 2000 watt rms.so pretty much put an upgraded battery in the front cellthe one powermaster in the back for the subs?I would do in order:Big 3D3100 in the back.(then monitor voltage. If it ever drops below 12v, then upgrade to a bigger battery up front or add another one in the rear depending on available room.)Last, upgrade alternator if you have the money or voltage is still low.
February 12, 200916 yr Author well i already have a 220 amp alternator i bought.and i have a pioneer premier deck that tells me the voltage so i should be good, thanks
February 12, 200916 yr Author i know this but i have a fi btl 15, so i wont have it installed to pull 3000 watt rms....what the saz is capable of
February 12, 200916 yr Author well im installing this amp in 2 vehicles....one to power a fi btl 15and one to a jl audio 13 w7.....it can be wired to meet the max of each of these...correct?
February 12, 200916 yr Author ok! thats what i like to hear lol.it was funny when i bought the amps....i got an email saying "Thanks again for your business! You got the last two 3kd's in the world from sundown" i was pumped, til i found out about the 3500 lol. o well upgrade in the future!
February 12, 200916 yr Author so with the saz can it even be wired to 1.5 ohms witch is what the 13 w7 is.or would it be best to wire everything down to 1 ohm?
February 12, 200916 yr so with the saz can it even be wired to 1.5 ohms witch is what the 13 w7 is.or would it be best to wire everything down to 1 ohm?That 1 ohm is only nominal. You will never see exactly 1 ohm.The W7 is a dual voice coil. Pick 3 ohms or .75 ohms. With 3 ohms you will see about 1200 watts RMS. .75 ohms will be 3,000+.
February 12, 200916 yr Author ok. i think the w7 can even be wired to .5 ohms also.but i should wire it around one then?
February 12, 200916 yr No. You will slaughter that thing if you wire it to .75. You can pick 1,200 watts or 3,200.
February 12, 200916 yr Author so the best would be to wire it to 3 ohms at arond 1,200 watts rms cuz the w7 is rated at 1000 watts rms and 2000 watts max??
February 12, 200916 yr so the best would be to wire it to 3 ohms at arond 1,200 watts rms cuz the w7 is rated at 1000 watts rms and 2000 watts max??It's rated for 1,500 watts.
February 12, 200916 yr Author ok ill wire it to 3 ohms.....but no its not the jl audio 13 inch w7 is rated at 1000 watts rms, 2000 watts max Edited February 12, 200916 yr by ryruss
February 12, 200916 yr Just do .75, be careful with volume. Set the amp with an O-Scope so there is NO clipping at all. And it will be just fine with 3000+With Voltage drop and Imp rise, it will probably never see 3000 rms anyway.
February 12, 200916 yr Why didnt you just save some money and buy a 1500D for the w7 Edited February 12, 200916 yr by -Jason-
February 12, 200916 yr ok ill wire it to 3 ohms.....but no its not the jl audio 13 inch w7 is rated at 1000 watts rms, 2000 watts maxmax rating is just for the advertising department.but i agree with jason. you should have gotten the 1500d for the w7.
