jmander11 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Hey all, I was looking at this amp as a cheap upgrade for my 1500 RMS PA Subwoofer. The current amp is an Alpine-M1000 which is doing it for now, but i think the sub has more potential for the low notes with a bit more power. (I've sold my old Alpine Type R 15" to a friend along with the Alpine M-1000 amp I'm using right now and as soon as he gets me the rest of the money I'm done with the M-1000. Bottom line, I need a replacement fast and this amp looks good for the price. Now I know Planet Audio's RMS ratings are BS, but this amp is rated at 2000 RMS @ 2 ohms and 1 ohm. Would this amp be putting out about 1500 RMS @ 2 ohms? (Lowest I'll drive it) My Planet Audio 15" is a great sub and hasn't smelled like burning voice coil or anything so I know the brand isn't complete garbage. I was also interested in this amp because it is strappable. That way when I upgrade to an 18" I can get another one of these amps cheap and have clean signal to my sub. What I want to know is if I will be getting 1500 RMS from this amp or closer to 1250 RMS like my Alpine M-1000 is outputting right now? Even if I'm only gonna get 1250 RMS, at least when the time comes soon I can simply buy another one of these amps for an 18". Thanks! P.S. I'm really looking to know what this amp will put out for RMS and if it's a decently reliable amp. Anyone know the fuse ratings/if there is any? Edited October 11, 2011 by jmander11 Quote

Ray Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Bet the alpine out perfoms the planet. You can wire down to 1 on the alpine btw.

Do it all the time I really hope the Alpine doesn't outperform the PA. Wire down to 1? The amp gets hot as it is. Hopefully someone has firsthand experience with this line of amps. Edit: The Planet Audio sub is Dual 4ohm. The 18" I buy will be Dual 1 likely so I can wire it up to 2ohm on the amp. Edited October 14, 2011 by jmander11 Quote
