3kout Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) I'm going to be installing a single 15" AA Havoc soon and I want to run it as close to it's RMS as possible or slightly more, at the moment anyway. the amps I'm looking at are the JBL 14001 and the SPL Dynamics ICE 1500D. I've previously had two JBL amps and I've been happy with theirr performance, I'm just wondering how the SPL amps compare to the JBL? the SPL will give me 280 more watts of power, according to the specs but at a different impedance, I think the JBL puts out 1200 Watts at 4 Ohms and the SPL puts out 1480 Watts at 1 Ohm, which would you guys recommend for a single Havoc?

3kout Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 The main problem in deciding is they are EXACTLY the same price, where I'm getting it from anyway, and with that little extra power the SPL seems to be a winner at the moment. Also does the SPL amp come with the remote bass controller? I know the JBL's don't as I had to by one for my 7001, but I tried searching for the SPL remote control and didn't come up with any results.

Reaper uk Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 i dont think they do come with a bass remote, but you can get them....... its no contest, spl amps are fantastic......... and if its more powerful, why are you even contemplating the jbl?

BigPimpin91 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Ask Audiofanaticz about SPL Dynamics amps. From what I've gathered, they do rather well. Quote BigPimpin91's Banging Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper uk Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 and team spb (also from the uk) uses all spl dynamics amps, and well, if you havent read his build thread, your crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3kout Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 the team spb build is the reason I'm interested in this amp! I think it's a pretty simple choice which amp I go for, more power same price, and looks pretty damn good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmilch Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 +1 to JBL here. I have run them for years. I have never had a single issue with them, and the customer service is wonderful. Prices are great for what they are.
