^^^ ill give it a try with my buddies 4 3800 kinetics on stock alt and power is to low i shall sale =D

You're going to fry that amp and your alternator if you try to run it on a stock alternator.

Well if he wires it up to 4 ohms and turns down the gains a ton, he might be able to get by with just an isolated 16v HO alt and a small bank of batteries
If you were smart man, you'd sell this and get a Sundown 4500 and pocket the extra cash. Or trade it straight across for the Sundown and batteries or something.

But you're definitely gonna have to drop at least $1k in electrical, and that's being exceptionally modest.

well i thank all of you for completely changing my mind on even trying this amp. is there anymore 4500's out there???

^^^^ everybody has changed my mind within the matter of a hour of even trying the amp out, even though i just bought it ^_^

so for battery opinions... one 3800 kinetic or 2 xs 16 volt s1600's?

is this amp so inefficient that it would draw so much power it would damage it's self even if set to run insanely conservative like 2000w?

4 x 3800 kinetic or 8 x xs 16 volt s1600's

for the sundown, not the warhorse.

Are yuo planning on running it at 4 ohms, cause there is no way those subs are taking 10000 watts? And if so, you may not need as much electrical, but are still going to need quite a bit.

surely they can handle 10k. ... Well, I ran my one 12 on 10K for about 10 burps before it went pooooofffff.

theres videos of new RE XXX 15's holding 10k alone for 5 minutes at 15 hertz. The excursion is insane on the XXX's

^^^^^^^^ hahaha thats never good =D

Yeah, they may take it for a bit, but I don't see it being a very long time. I did see a vid title that states 10k, then you hear the guys voice and he says its about 8000. But in a reply to someone asking how the sub would do off 3.5k, he says he doesn't recommend more than the 2k rating. Not saying they're not underrated, but i wouldn't be driving around with 10k going to them

i was never expecting to get a full 10k out of this amp. after the money i dropped in it i was hoping to get around 7000-8250 which 3500 to 4125 watts to each is sub is a **** load but i believe it could handle, especially in a small sealed box

I got a couple NSB 170ft batts I'm going to be selling. IF you were to use the warhorse
