Posted November 10, 200915 yr so i have a us amps md1d amp hooked to a ten inch re audio sx. i had it wired to one ohm and a guy that i was talking to said i was probably pushing closer to 1400 watts instead of 1200 watts at 14 volts. is this true?
November 11, 200915 yr Nobody really knows, if he did a bench test or had clamp meters with a TRUE RMS feature on them then yeah he is right.
November 11, 200915 yr Oh yeah any good amp does more than rated power.......and if its rated at 1200, 1400 is more than likely closer to the truth. A friend of mine just bought a rockford 2500bd Rated at 2500watts. and the thing came out of the box with a birth sheet of 3098 watts!!!!! thats 598 watts more than rated power!!!!!!!

November 11, 200915 yr If you really want to know get your grubby lil dick beaters on a amp clamp and dmm find out for yourself..... Edited November 11, 200915 yr by 144dbFiBl15
November 11, 200915 yr Author he didnt he estimated what it probably could be doing he told me he wasnt for sure but it was more realistic for it to do that instead. hey jaycee what is that bench test and clamp thing? id like to do it.
November 11, 200915 yr go here:multimeterwarehouse.comGet you two True RMS Clamp Meters and thats how you truly test an amps out capabilities or what you are doing at that moment and time.
