Been running my current setup for year now and decided that I needed more power. Been talking to shizzzon for a bit about the new 14.4 line of taramps made for use in the usa. So I picked up a pair of 15ks. Along with a bunch of other stuff from shizzons ebay auctions.
Swapped out the 2 ct7ks wired to 0.5 ohm each to a single hd15k for now and pulled 154.3 sealed on the dash. Taramps amp seems to be alot better on electical i would drop into 12s at idle and now 13s no problem.
Did you notice a difference in the sound of the bass? When I went from Korean to Brazillian, the bass sounded smoother. Not so much full tilt but up to about 3/4 volume, it sounded a lot better
Good to hear ! I picked up one too. Unfortunatly it was a DOA and shipped it back and new one will be here tue cant wait to have it all together again ! I also bought from Shizzzon, Good guy to deal with !!
Get some more power out of these bad boys, hehe. These amps have been tested to do well over 10,000w and specs claim it should be able to do up to 13,500w on the right electrical for burps.
While we have been selling the Bass 12ks to our dealers lately, one thing i noticed about them i didnt notice before.
The Bass 12k is heavier than the hd15000 by about 1lb. It must be the heatsink.
They told us the only difference between the hd15000 and bass 12k were these-
dual 3/0 inputs vs single
Heavy upgraded preamp stage
Output filtering
3000w (lol)
bass only vs near full range
no led monitor
But besides the weight, in testing, the bass12k has survived 0.187ohm testing (reactance unknown) for 2 songs worth of play.
I've been asked are they more durable. We do not know but right now, the export trade has the bass 12k costing a lot more than the hd15000s right now.
I do have some good news for you all owners of these new big amps.
Our prototype inputs\outputs are in transit right now. If they fit perfectly, we will have a ton of them made for the following-
HD8000 eX - Triple 4/0 inputs
HD10000 14.4v- Triple 4/0 inputs
Bass 12k- Hexa 4/0 Inputs (6) and Quad 8awg outputs (stock accept single 4awg welding)
HD15000- Triple 4/0 Inputs and Quad 8awg outputs (havent tested stock output yet)
Well so far USPS is faster ! Go figure ! I sent mine back to you thursday afternoon and it got there this morning ? Fed ex took 5 or 6 days to get it here ? I dont know whatthey charged but time wise Usps is much faster.
I have a idea that my inputs are too small on the stud size because the hd 1500 has what 3/0 size input ? Well i took the triples and stuck them right into my little ppi 1000.1 amp to use while I wait and they fit right in ? Probably 1/0 inputs. Any idea when I can get a set from you ?
You think you can get your numbers higher with some electrical upgrades. Try to get it up around 13v with a couple banks of caps or add another alt and shoot for mid 13's.
I'd get each thing checked that's crazy low voltage for that electrical. I'm running dual 270a alts and 10 60 ah batteries with two taramps 8k's and two 150x4 amps for front stage. I have been good up until recent when one of the alts died ( tenney 270a weighs a couple pounds less than the dc 270a)
I had 3 HD8000's all wired at 1 ohm with 850a worth of alt and only 2 D3100's and wouldn't drop below 14v while cruising. I know the HD8000's clamp 5k at around 13v
Beat on them all day!!! Never shut down no smoking nothing. Super impressed. Played them into mild clipping couple times no smoke. Super impressed with these at 0.5 ohm daily!!
