fecupe2001 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hey guys, since i don´t feel like doing much work in my explorer right now because i have to work 24/7 and many hours per day, i´m starting this amplifiers challenge in a couple of days, i´ve collected amplifiers from a few friends, dealers and some owned by me, this are the amplifiers that i have for the challenge: - Digital Designs M1b : 1200 watts - Digital Designs M2a : 1600 watts - Audiopipe AP1500.1 : 1500 watts - Hifonics bxi1610D : 1600 watts - Cadence 1600 watts - MTX 1501D : 1500 watts - Hifonics BRZ1200.1 : 1200 watts - Cadence Phoenix : 1200 watts - DB Drive 1200 watts - MTE Audio : 1500 watts (chinese board) I´m still waiting for some confirmation about a Rockford fosgate 1500 watts amplifier and a soundstream picasso 1500.1 , if there´s more amplifiers i´ll announce it hehe. Electrical: Single kinetik HC2400 battery 4 runs of 0 gauge Mechman 270A alternator Box and subs: 2 Digital Designs 2512 D2´s 5.8 cubic feet tuned @ 38 hz 3 6" Aeros All the amplifiers are gonna wired at .5 ohms, that´s why i looked only for amplifiers that give their minimum impedance specs at 1 ohm, so after impedance rise we can test close to that; Test will have clamp results and termlab scores , wich isn´t the most important of those 2 points anyways but it´s fun though. IMPORTANT NOTE, there´s no way i can measure distortion on this test, maybe one of the amplifiers can give you the most power but it does it with a lot of distortion lol, said that, there´s 2 ways i can test this: 1) Set the gains with a O-scope. 2) Set the gains around 3/4 of the amplifier full capacity and just roll up the volumen when i´m burping. Any advices, tips and inputs are welcome for this Update!!! Results from the test I just read the entire thread...I decided to compile the results so far Audiopipe AP1500.1 (1500 @ 14.4v) Hifonics BRZ1200.1 (1200 @ 14.4v) Digital Designs M1b (1200 @ 11.9v) Digital Designs M2a (1600 @ 11.9v) Cadence ZRS 7500D (1800 @ ??)

Toofast4u Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 The M2A seems a step above every other amp you have listed power wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 came here wanting to see the audiopipe. cant wait for the results! i'd use an oscope at least. or if someone could lend you a DD-1 that would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be willing to. It's just sitting around haha, I'd obviously throw in the disc as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fecupe2001 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yep, that m2a it´s a beast that´s why i love it so much (it´s mine hehe) , i´m seriously trying to get the RF amplifier since i know it´s a monster for sure, i also used the MTX for a couple of months and was amazed by it, this should be fun, should help a few people trying to get an amplifier around that wattage without spending lots of money, i´m exited to compare the audiopipe vs all the other amps lol By the way, there´s also about 8 amplifiers waiting for the 2000-2400 watts amplifier challenge already I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

fecupe2001 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Well, shipping would cost a fortune lol, but it´s cool, i have acces to an O-scope and we could set the gains with that, but there´s something i´ve experimented a few times before when i use an O-scope, i don´t have any distortion but 80% of the times i get quieter, specially when it´s for burp porpouses lol I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

That M2 should match up with that RF pretty well. BTW you have a PM about something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toofast4u Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Through USPS it would cost me like $3 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEKINGsBACK Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I don't think he is in this country he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
