hey i don't want you to think that i was bashing you at all just stating what i saw i appreciate you doing this but i also thought it was a lil suspecious that all the amps tested over rated and i see what you are doing now. wasn't trying to say you testing was wrong man just that efficency wasn't factored in. appreciate you tests man and thx for doing it and i even loved you spl topic :good: sorry if i repeated my self a lil drunk :drink40:

haha not at all mate, was talking about kr lol, so it´s cool, glad you like the topic along with my little baby, the spl gains topic :)

Javier, what AC clamp meter were you using? Sorry if I missed this... btw, fosgate didn't surprise me.. it was expected <_< . great job nonetheless!

Don´t remember the exact models since neither of them are mine lol, but i know the DMM it´s a Fluke and the Clamp meter it´s a B&K precision :drinks: and thanks mate :)

I feel your pain sometimes when i read people who never owned and ap 1500 suggest to other people that an audioque 1200 would put out a lot more power and be very noticeable than an ap 1500, i just have to reply to them since i have owned both same car same sub setup and both sounded completely the same in output and sq(ap maybe a pinch louder) and both have last me over 2 years no problem.

Sometimes budget amps arent so bad and i always recommend them to beginners since they will upgrade later anyways and so i can steer them away from boss and stuff like that.

Also for the next challenge can you get a power acoustik bamf 5500 they usually clamp like 1700-2200rms and im wondering if you can do that one?

Hey man, yeah i hear ya, i love budget products, it´s always fun kicking someone´s ass with those things against his expensive equipment lol, nice review about the aq1200 vs ap1500 , i mean, is not so easy to hear 200-500 watts of difference haha.

about the bamf, very difficult for me to find one since i´ve never seen that amp @ Panama, let me see what i can find, thanks for the comment bro :)

Some time in the future you should clamp all the bad budget amps... ex pyle, legacy, pyramid, boss, etc. Just to see what they actually do. Also do you get any planet audio amps in panama? I have the 1200.2 running my speakers and they're hella loud. I would love to see some of the amps clamped.

Alpine HU

Crunch Powerone 300.2 mid/highs + AP15001D bass

can't wait to see more. :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

a suggestion, might want to make an index of where all the results are, or make 1 or 2 post dedicated to results. :shrug:

I really like that idea, but sadly, i don´t know anyone using those amplifiers so i could try them out :(

I own an Almani 1100.2 tho, i could test that one out just for fun since it´s cheap as hell :)

hes talking about a post where you group up all of your results into one post.

right now they are scattered throughout the thread.

indexing would be like

BRZ1200.1

x.xx= xx.xV

x.xx= xx.xA

Voltage drop = x

rms output = xxxx.x @ 1.07 ohms with 41hz tone.

bxi1610D

x.xx= xx.xV

x.xx= xx.xA

Voltage drop = x

rms output = xxxx.x @ 1.07 ohms with 41hz tone.

and so on. all in one post
