    Certified mode stops the dyno at 1% clipping giving true "clean" power. Uncertified keeps reading even if you climb into distortion or clipping.

    Sucks because I just bought a bass 8k taramps for around $500/$600 cant remember exactly but these are listed same place I bought the bass 8k and this amp is around $300. Im so confused unless the bass 8k has something this amp does not. I should have got this t amp.

    @@Facekicker I kind of dislike the low impedance protect. I wish it was lower than 1ohm. My setup is wired to 0.3ohm and it will set itself into protect when really getting down into the low lows or on burps. Not a big deal but I am going to move to 4 15s in a 6th order and will be able to wire to 1 ohm but will need more than the 8k by then. I could just run a DSP with this other amp and have the power I need. Also just checked and they were on sale when I seen it last. It's the same price as the bass 8k now.

    Completely the opposite, the Smart technology kicks in on burps and throttles back hard, you will never see 17k on a burp. Sam from Barevids explains why the amp reads that on the dyno during the dynamic burst test. Don't be surprised to see 10k with proper voltage. Make sure you dont clip even slightly or the smart tech will kick in and really throttle back on burps . For demos, these amps are monsters because of the smart technology due to variances of impedance during fluctuating frequencies.🤙🔊

Batteries are rated in amp hr., so thats why i answered the way i did. I want to try to help you if i can, but please be more descriptive, thank you. Also when trying to figure out electrical requirements, its best to use the Largest draw. Like in your example 17kw.

    I don't feel like you're understanding the advantages of current limiting. If a traditional amplifier gave you 7,400w at half ohm then it would probably only give 5,000w at 1 ohm, then 3000 at 2 ohm and maybe 1800 at 4 ohm. Which amp would you rather have? The current limiting feature gives you way more power at the higher ohm loads. Keep in mind they only built the internals to handle 8,000 watt continuous. This is how they keep the prices as low as possible.
