is this amp really 4,000 watts?
1536920
No. Power = Voltage X Current . 3 40amp fuses = Max Current of 120A. AVG. automobile alternator puts out 14.2 volts. so 120X14.2= 1704watts @ 100% efficiency. Vendor States 75% to 95% efficiency. So 1278watts - 1619watts. @ 1ohm load. 2ohm load 1/2 the output of 1ohm, 4ohm load 1/2 output of 2ohm load.

No, the manufacturers use several methods to artificially inflate the numbers. For instance running the tests at 16.6v in a system that won't be strained to run 4000 watts. In a real world scenario you'd be lucky to see this put out 2k watts @ 1 ohm stable. But for this money, you're not going to find much else putting that kind of power out.

This is a very nice amp, but I don't think it is 4,000 watts. It is very hard to determine without proper equipment. But it is a worthwhile amp for the price.
1536923
NO. Specs say: 4 ohms: 1500 watts x 1, 2 ohms: 2000 watts x 1, 1 ohms: 2800 watts x 1. So the most you could ever get is CLAIMED 2800 watts if your speakers are wired to 1 ohm (you would need two 4ohm DVC speakers, or one 2ohm DVC speaker)
1536924
peak only and only when wired at 1 ohm. This amp is the most power for the penny you will find. It can run 2 or 4 subs of any size without any problems.

It is a class D amp so at 1 ohm it is 4000 watts. However I have mine wired to it at 2 ohms which still puts out about 3000 watts which is more than enough for the every day user. Powers my 4 mtx 12s with ease

Friend the low moves really well if you have power. and if you have a 4000 watt. although this amp hard to bust up putting on two ultra low.
1536927
If it sees at least 13.6 volts it shouldn't be to much of a problem. At 12 volts I would only expect 3, 300-3, 500 watts max.

Per User's Manual, the AC4000.1D is rated at 4000W x 1 peak power with 1 ohm load. RMS power = 2800W x 1 with 1 ohm load. 2000W x 1 RMS with 2 ohm load, 1500W x 1 RMS with 4 ohm load. The manual does not specify the voltage used for these claims but something can be learned by the fuse ratings for these amps. (3) 40A fuses = 120A total. Power = voltage x current so 14 volts x 120A = 1680W so operation at or near this level should pop the fuses. The manufacturer states "Although sufficient for normal working conditions, overloading the amp will result in blown fuses. Please try to avoid overloading the amp in this manner."

That amp is way more than enough, this is what I found:RMS: 1000W x 1 @ 4 ohms, 1500W x 1 @ 2 ohms, 2100W x 1 @ 1 ohm. This sub is 400 rms. Please read up more on rms vs max power. Generally though, you want your amp to put out 75% to 125% off what the sub can handle rms, don't even pay attention to max. So, if you have a 4 ohm sub set up with your amp, it should be able to handle between 750 and 1250 watts rms, with 1000 really being ideal. In this case you could run several of these in different configurations depending on how you wire them, series vs parallel. Based on your question though, you need to do a lot more research and educate yourself on how these things work, or you're just going to burn out either your subs, amps, or both. That's a much more expensive easy to learn.

No if your looking for something powerful but cheap get a hifonics amp they are CEA compliant 2006 meaning they were truely tested. I have a boss phantom and it says it's 3000 watts but really it's about 600..
602537
Oh yeah defenitely yes. True rms on this bad boys 1000 watts rms. this amp is so powerful.
1613438
Yes it is but be careful the amp is a powerful amp. I've bought 4 of them and the bench test between 1320 and 1360 rms 1 ohm.

The spec just means it is rated at 15 amps, but the total wattage cannot exceed 500 watts, which is about 4 amps. They are just saying it is overbuilt.
465068
to be honest not even close to 2600 watts. I haven't checked how much it puts out, I had that amp for a month and gave it away. Its not a good amp but if your on a budget its not bad, depends on what sub your hooking it up to.
458768
Amp will drive 4 ohm speaker at 300 watts. Will drive 8 ohm speaker at 150 watts.

I don't know cuz thy don't say on da speakers or box but da amp is 200 amps per channel (200w x 4) n thy sound pretty good n I only install 2 speakers out of 4 hope dis helps any other questions feel free 2 ask

It has more than enough power. You wouldn't use the full power of this amp.
2157512
Yes. It's a 5 channel amp. 4 speakers 4 ohm @ 75 watts each, then a 5th (your sub) 2 ohm @ 300 watts. It's a great amp.
1128340
sure. the amp is 1000 watts per channel @ 4 ohm. 500 watts per channel @ 8 ohm
1125664
Not even close...this amp is a basic amp will power small 4 or 6 inch speakers

Yes , but be careful. A good rule of thumb to measure the true rms of any audio component is to add a zero to the end of the fuses and add them together. So in your case 4× 25 amps is like 4×250. So you have a 1000 watt amp...just don't turn your gain all the way up, which you should never do anyway because it's the distortion from these amps that blow subs. Not the wattage.

The specs for this amp indicate 40 watts of power for each channel....so I believe it would be within your speakers' parameter.

I have no idea,Watts?I have a guitar amp that is 135watts,Not sure why you would ask that??
