Wow, over 1,000A on 12vDC battery power just for the 8kW amp! Must be one heck of a charging system! Makes my "old school" PPI 600w (sub) and 400w (mids/highs) system seem anemic by comparison. 
Those look to be some high quality amps there. What brand? The PS section is larger than the actual amplifier section. Beefy transformers and capacitor bank... |
I have no clue how the voltage stuff works LOL. The amplifiers can only accept 18 volts max. They are Class D amps around 85% efficiency. I haven't installed this amps yet. I was going to have them manufactured for me, but it seems that market for such powerful amps is not there anymore. The system that I installed and got electrocuted had 20 SLA batteries each putting out 1200CCA. Man the wire we used were 2/0GA.
