I choose this 4000watt version mostly because it is 15"X10" & fits in the Nissan 350z glove compartment with about an inch and a half of space on each side, and about 6 inches in the rear of the amp. I am using the KnuKonceptz Kolossus OFC 4guage wire kit, and no capacitor. I am using a 120AMP ANL fuse supplied with the wiring kit, the amp itself has 3, 40amp fuses. I have yet to do the big three upgrade and I still get absolutely no dimming in my headlights, LED dash/undercar lights, or map lights!!!
I used a Targus AWE45US HeatDefense gel laptop cooling pad for under the amp. It is made of crystals that when heated up turn into liquid, dissipating the heat. At the moment this amp does not even get warm to the touch, it literally stays at the cars interior temperature, even after hours of use. I have this amp pushing a 10" 4ohm, single voice coil, 300-1100watt Subwoofer in the 350z touring edition's stock Bose sub location. I used spray foam and dynamat to seal it into a 12"X12"X16" enclosure that only weighs about 3 pounds =)
. I have it turned up to 50% gain, and about 10% bass boost, the crossover is set as high as it goes (150hz) This amp slams so hard I barely half to turn my pioneer avhx2500bt head unit to half volume. I could still easily hear and could still faintly feel the punch from about 100 feet away. I plan on upgrading to a 10" pioneer premier series DVC (2 ohm) 3000watt sub.
The RMS rating on this amp are very true to what this amp is pushing, if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, either they got a defect, they have a cheap CCA (copper clad aluminum) wiring kit, or they don't know how to wire an amp. A CCA wiring kit would have to be 3 times bigger than a OFC (oxygen free copper) kit, to push the same juice. So you would need a double 0 wire (-1/0) CCA wire to equal the 4 gauge OFC. The shorter the power cables the smaller it can be. The shorter the grounds the better.
RMS Ratings are as followed:
1500watts RMS at 4 ohms
2000watts RMS at 2 ohms
2800watts RMS at 1ohm / 4000watt peak.
