Maxxlink/SAZ3000D question

[redlineaudio 0]

what ohm load is it safe to burp (2) SAZ3000D's strapped w/ a Maxxlink? Right now, resting load is .8ohms - we have (6) 16V batteries that rest @ 17.4 and are @ 20.8 when fully charged. Would the amps go into protection? Thanks...

I don't suggest running over 18 volts... but if you must do so you can talk to Robert Wyatt on Team Sundown about his experiences as he is the only one to have done it.

I wouldn't say he is the only one!

Don't go over 18v. Most comps don't allow it anyway. Jack them amps down to .35ohm and watch your score soar!

I run my amp's at 19v plus at 1 ohm and ran them in comp last weekend at 20.9... While I was demoing the truck at the show I was around the 19 to 19.6 range.... The class I run is unlimited volts. If the amp's could take 24 than I would be doing 24 volts. I only run it for a 30seconds pass. Really not a good idea to run at that high of voltage. I don't think that I will be running them at that high of a voltage. Due to demoing the truck. If something gives loose like batt's blown-up or amps I don't want anybody to get hurt. So the voltage will be turned down to safe working load. I don't think that Jacob will warranty the amps at that ohm load (.35ohms)? Not sure check with Jacob. I know I want warranty anything below 1 ohm weather it be customer or competator.

I would not advise people to run over 18v. Glad you have had success with it though. And yes running at .99 or below will technically ruin your warrenty. But competing with the amp I would think would do the same thing.

Jerry,

I still like the Sundown LOGO!!! I want it for the truck> My truck will be repainted Black and Purple.

well, hooked everything up - and one amp goes into protection just as the other one is "fully" powering up--before any audio signal is even sent....any thoughts? BTW this is with voltage @ 18.9

Is the remote the same voltage as the input voltage ?

[redlineaudio 0]

everything was turned all the way down @ first. I unhooked the "y-splitter" Maxxlink showed for the inputs, the amps are able to "fully" power up and play at a lower volume. As I take the volume up, the subs start to "flutter" and one of the amps goes into protection--not always the same amp. I've heard good things about these Maxxlink, but I'm not having good luck so far....

sorry, just re-read your post - do you mean remote as in turn-on? No, it is off the 12v post of one of the Kinetik's

[sundownz 197]

Make the remote the same voltage as the input - sometimes that causes a weird issue.

i dont wanna thread jack, but i have a question regarding to a similar problem.. sundownz if you could, pm me please, so the thread isnt cluttered. thanks!

I'm having trouble with my Maxx-Link also. Everything is fine without it but when its installed my subs go haywire.

[sundownz 197]

They can be tricky to set up.

make it 16/18V? I don't think I understand, it's powering up just fine....

Right - sometimes if the remote isn't the same voltage you may have a problem with protection.
