I have noticed on DCsoundlab the difference in RMS output power from 16V to 18V

 

 

14.4V

4 ohm  900W x 1

2 ohm 2,300W x 1

1 ohm 5,000W x 1

 

1 ohm 16V 6,000W x 1

 

1 ohm 18V 7,300W x 1

These are the specs for the DC 5K.

 

 

Now when the bass hits hard on my current 12V setup, I dip from 14.4V to 12.3V

 

If I ran an 18V setup, and dipped to 16.3V while playing music, does that mean the RMS output power would dip at least 1,000 watts?

 

Thank you.

Assuming that all specs are measured appropriately you would have a drop of that size. It would not be audible though as long as you were setup for safe output at 14.4 and 16.
