- What load can this amplifier run?
- It is rated at 8000 watts RMS at 1 ohm. Plan your subwoofer wiring for a 1-ohm final load, and make sure the electrical system supports the current draw.
- Does it only power subwoofers?
- No. It is a full-range monoblock, so it can also drive midbass drivers or component speakers in a high-power system.
- What wiring does it need?
- It uses 1/0-gauge power and ground terminals, which are included. Use the same gauge for both runs and keep them short and fused.
- Will my stock electrical system support it?
- Unlikely at full output. An 8000-watt amplifier at 1 ohm draws very high current, so an upgraded alternator, battery and big-three wiring are usually needed.
- How do I set the gain safely?
- Set gain with a multimeter or oscilloscope using the target voltage for your impedance, and keep bass boost low. This protects the subs from clipping.
