Inital SAX-1200D Clamping

[sundownz 197]

Two Stinger SPV-70 Batteries / 40-amp Power Supply / 8 awg wire power and Ground (this amp should have 4 awg)

Wired to 1 ohm nominal :

1170 Watts @ 12.5 volts

1.97 ohms after impedance rise

Wired to 0.5 ohm nominal :

1490 Watts @ 11.1 volts

0.85 ohms after impedance rise

---

Measured with my Extech True RMS power clamp meter several seconds into the tone @ 60 Hz -- this typically reads about ~15-16% less than a "dual peak hold" amp clamp test.

We'll do some more testing with a more adequate power wire coming up soon. The test bench 4 awg has the ends tinned so is a bit too big to go into the SAX-1200D terminals -- will need to get it in a vehicle.

Looking forward to the vehicle tests!

Going to swap out my 1000D and go with this.

The best part is the 1 ohm testing -- it really blows the SAZ-1000D out of the water there.

I can't find my sheet with the exact figures on this exact test bench setup but it's is around 50% more powerful with a rise to 2 ohms than the SAZ-1000D was. The difference is closer to the expected 20% when dropped down lower but we concentrated on making more usable power at a real load for the daily customer and it delivers.

Now that is what I like to hear! The 1000D was a great little amp but this monster should be a great seller!

Good to see you keep making your amps better and better
