So here's my question...
Has anyone heard of a Powerhouse 2.5 made by Earthquake of SanFrancisco?
Im almost certain this model is discontinued, but I bought one for $50 from a guy off of CL. It has definitely been worth the money..
I can't seem to get any solid info on it.. I read somewhere it may be an 800watt RMS 2-channel amp (Definitely feels like it..) but im not sure. On the back of it, it has a diagram that shows a configuration for "mono application"; which is how i have it wired.
It has a two knobs to adjust equal loudness, one in the 45hz range and the other in the 12Khz range; a Filter Setting knob from 20Hz to 5Khz and a gain knob to adjust for a weak head unit (I have my gain knob barely turned up at all). It does have a warning that states the gain knob should never be turned past the "12 o'clock" mark... I've turned it up to about the 10 o'clock mark and blew a fuse.
Im running this "800w RMS" Earthquake Powerhouse 2.5 amp to a 12" MTX Audio Thunder 6000 Series in a ported box tuned to 33mhz with a Clarion CZ109 50w x 4 head unit.
The sub is a dual VC at 4ohms each, so i've only wired up one coil since the diagram shows only one coil at 4ohms when wired for mono application. (Don't wanna fry my amp..derrr)
All in all, this set-up has served me well and is very loud when i want it to be. Even with only one coil wired up, this shit bumps! I do plan on upgrading to a mono-block class-D amp, wiring up both voice-coils and using a cap sometime in the near future... but i was wondering if any of you well educated Audiophiles had any info for me.. whether it be on the amp itself or any tips or suggestions as to how i have it wired up or even suggestions on other equipment that may improve upon what i already have..
Thanks for reading!
oh yeah, here; i'll throw in a pic of my CB..Don't hate! i know im monster truckin'
