Amp Test Tuesday - the BEAST Rockford Fosgate Power T4000.1bd - Rated 4000 Watts RMS

Today& is the Rockford Fosgate Power T4000.1bd. Rated 4000 x 1 @ 14.5v @ 1ohm. It has a single 500 amp fuse on board. My power supply is limited to 3 D1400 batteries and a 10 amp charger used to keep the batteries fresh in between runs. This amp REALLY drags the battery bank down, but i think it did pretty well still! My battery bank is really only good up to about 2000 watts but i really wanted to try a large amplifier. Even though it pulled down into the 13v range, it still put out great power! On music, aka the "Dynamic burst rms" mode, you could expect to see 5,000 watts or more out of this amplifier. That is if you can keep your voltage up! the SMD D&Engineering Amp Dyno AD-1 is about to set the standard in car audio for amplifier ratings. Does your 5000 watt amp really do 5000 watts? Whether it is car, pro, or home audio, the AD-1 AKA the Honey Badger, does not care. Remember, the amp dyno isn&so much about your amplifier not making the power as it is WHY the amp isn&making its power. If your electrical system, or some other link in the chain is not working to its full potential, the amplifier will not either. The dyno shows any small change you make in REAL TIME. Dont forget:
