    I do believe it is impossible to get 1000+ Bird Watts out of a 1x4 even if volt are high !!!!

    Probably a driver pill like a 2290 driving 4 2879's , not a straight 5 pill which would put out more watts? have to check with Preacher

    can we see pics please

    and on a bird meter if you by pass the the preamp and drive 100-150 watts into the 4 you can see 500 swinging 750 maybe 800 that would be pushing the pills tho

    He didn't say anything about a Bird Meter...I'm sure he's talking peak, and at 15v's, 1000w's would not be much of a stretch...depending on the meter...Still...a price would be nice.

    Already sold my "Power by Preacher" but it was only a 2 pill with 2 2879's which onlt put out out 180 watts with 2 watts deadkey and swing to 10-15 watts on a single final radio at like 13.5 volts. Like the other member of forum said doubt be able to get 800-100 on a 1x4 amp also and using a 100 watts drive will blow it up, when you have driving pills usually don't need high deadkey or swing the driver does it for you. Cheak with maker of the box directly. I used a Cobra single final with my straight 2 pill, and once tried my Ranger dual final with a 2 watts deadkey swing to like 30 watts and blew it up. Remeber that 2879 pills are only rated at like 100-110 watts each. Volting will get you more power but shorten the life of the amp and may even distort your audio. My advice is to always use a straight pill such as a 4,5, or 6 pill, then either use high power radio to drive or a small box. Those amps with driver pills have to really know what doing or they blow up all the time from what I have seen. FYI. Just my opinion
