How much power are you running right now?

[Kale]

I remember when I first got into Car Audio, and my coworker was telling me his system was 700 watt.. I thought that was plain insane. The first time I had an ampilfied system, it was less than 300 watts total. Now I'm running 1240+ watts, and can't ever see myself running less. How much RMS power are you running? PS - Cory00, Pyramid watts only count if you divide them by ten.

HAHA!! Well, I guess 500

[vette92_1]

I'm just in the 4 to 600 watt range :cry

[Metal Wulf]

800-1KW range, but redo this poll in 6 months... :reddevil

[rbartick]

According to my Alpine V12 birthsheets I am at 1810+ RMS @ 14.4V and my vehicle does maintain 14.x volts on the road.

[Z06-JIM]

I'm in the 1000 + watt range with both R/F Amps combined.

which RF amps you running?

[Z06-JIM]

which RF amps you running?

I'm using a R/F 501X Amp for powering the CDT Front & Rear speakers
R/F 501 bd Mono Amp powering the EL Designs "E120.44" Sub

What are the specs on the birth sheets for these amps? They are rated at 65x4 and 500x1 and that adds up to 760W.

you're at 760 watts, Kale asked about RMS, not peak numbers

[Z06-JIM]

Your right, my mistake.
Guess I'll blame it "ignorance" on working midnights this weekend. (12hr. shifts)
I think the actual factory tested peak amps on the "birth" sheet was somewhere around 630 amps each.
Thanks for correcting me.

That's our biggest complaint against RF, they advertise these huge numbers, then when you actually see the RMS it's like 1/3 of what RF is telling you...

The seem to be playing the advertising game with the lower priced "Punch" series amps that you see in the electronics chains like Best Buy & Circuit City. They are not doing that with the higher priced "Power" series and those amps look pretty good to me.

[ICULUKN-C5]

running 1100 watts of JL (RMS)
500/1 for the subs
300/4 for the tweeters and
300/2 for the mids

[knewblewkorvette]

into 4 ohms my amps combined are 920 watts but I'm running all 3 of them below 4 ohms. I figure 1840 watts in my C5. :thumbs:

[leolufse]

I was running 1380+, but now just 708+. You forgot to add a choice for those running the stock Bose system.... 11-13 watts. :jester :lolg:

No spot on the poll for mine, I'm only at 250 right now...

I do have an extra 900 watts sitting in the garage, but don't have any subs or a box to go with it... or the capacitor to keep it from killing my battery...

Orion XTR5004 is currently in the car, runs 62.5 watts into 4 channels to power my front and rear speakers. Orion XTR9002 is sitting in the garage on a shelf, puts out 225 watts into 2 channels or bridges down to 900 watts into a single channel.

[bogus]

I am at 500 total... JL Audio 500/5 amp, 100x2, 25x2 and 250x1.

Nice amp! VERY happy with it!

[TheWacoKid]

I'm at 900 rms currently. :cheers:

[SpdKilz]

Only 500 rms...my JL 500/1 going to my W7. Hopefully upgrading to a 300/4 for my midrange soon.
