I've just had a quick look at the Proline 3k and there maybe isn't that much in it. Still think i'd have rather had a 32a Powercon or similar on an amp of that power.
Cheers, Chris.

they usually use the thicker cable for 120v
 
that's why some of the crest p9001's have cables the girth of a small tree

Ok,i have edited out the offending posts..can i please make it quite clear,as sometimes the issues here seem to get a little confused....this forum is about speakers and sound etc,it is not about politics or race. I dont care if you are left-wing,right wing,white,black,yellow,inuit,arab,jewish or even ginger.

Next deliberately offensive racist comment the poster will get permanently banned.

Carry-on please gents.



Be seeing you.

Can anyone bench one? Wouldnt mind seeing the out come. With limiters turned off.

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.

I dont have the PCM amps but i do have the 18 series amps that should be pretty much same.
I have done some measuring on my biggest one (the 20 which i believe is called 18 now, or not, i have no idea if it is the same amp with more conservative spec, or they have discontinued this 20 one, maybe Tony can ask this for me i would love to get a few more of the 20 amps for my subs). 
What i did is connect one channel of the amp to one BA218 sub (2x18 inch) and played 70hz tone (i did this inside a 40m2 room so having 40hz tone will do a lot of damage on that level so 70hz was more bearable) till the clip light flashed. I measured 154V. Which is a lot of power on 4 ohms. About 5500W.
I didnt do this on both channels at once because that will devastate my R&D room and it was too cold outside to go and do it.

I have run the amp on 2 ohms for a short time during a demo. So not sure how this can be of any meaning because the amp never run more then like 5 min at a time. But i didnt noticed any sign of stress or increased temperature.

don't wana highjack the thread but it does realy well had it on 4ohm loads and 2 ohm loads v1800 hogs and pd.186 es18bph and not a problem all night. Very nice sounding bass for a digital amp! plenty of headroom on the pd186s but happy run the v1000 all night with a tiny bit of headroom would deffo recomend it as a cheaper lightweight option, on the terms of the powercable it is fairly beefy comes with a 13 amp on the end but will be swapping that to a 16 amp ceeform this weekend. i will get some pic of the inside if i get chance.

but no more questions back to the PXM
