Does anybody out there know what the Earthquake 200DHC power rating for Db Drag Racing is? Wayne?

Thanks.

From the looks of their web site it appears to be 2000 watts - Check the spec sheet that comes with the 200DHC. If memory serves me right it claims something else.

What kind of specs would you like?
(I got a birth certificate with mine)Its a Monoblock amp rated at 1x942 @ 4 ohm.Its recommended that you get a few batteries before you go any lower. My amplifier throws out over 2000 watts...Also my amp also has an efficiency over 85%...Though it does cost alot, its small for what it does...(8.5"x11"x2")PimpTaurus------------------

on that birth certificate it should also state the 2 ohm power - does it? If you listened to what Earthquake says, then you would want to run 6 batteries per amplifier - Whatever.... It is a very efficient and powerful amplifier due to it being a class D. Just do not go to low on the impedance or the Magic Smoke appears!!

and about the battery thing...Earthquake says that it all depends on what kind of impediance you are running. With me, I only have two batteries on that amp...For the small size, it rocks... My 4 channel amp is bigger than that and does 1/3 the power.-pimp------------------

Yes the Earthquake has lots of power just like any class D. Mine draws about 145 amps and deliivers right around 2000W at 13.6 volts. However it starts to clip at like 1600W. And it is not a real clean amp. I would not recomend it for a system unless you need tons of power or compete.------------------

I was being sarcastic with the six batteries reply. If you speak directly with Earthquake's "engineers" they claim you must run 6 batteries to keep adequate power to the amplifier. From the research and results I have personally seen and heard from others, 2 batteries is sufficient.

Mine is running on two Optima Yellow tops. That is all you need for them. I have seen them run on one. You are right 6 is overkill.------------------

with my type of thinking...If earthquake's engineers claim that you need 6 batteries (just follow with me here), why didn't earthquake come out with their own line of deep cycle batteries?That way, earthquake would make more money, (hopefully)-pimp------------------
