The "1500" watts amplifier CHALLENGE!!!

get an AQ 1.2k and a DC 1.2k for the mix

Remember that i´m from latin america, we don´t have DC Audio around Panama, and even if we would, don´t think they would borrow me an amplifier lol, the amplifiers on this test are all mine or from a few friends that kindly offered their stuff to get this test done.

Also, i own a Digital Designs M1b that i´ll testing tonight, remember that AQ/DD it´s a father/son company, the AQ1200.1 it´s the same DD m1b amplifier with a few small changes to get the price lower, we are talking about a few parts that makes the m1b a little bit more reliable in theory, but once again, it´s the same amp, so the results i´ll have for this amp it´s probably the same you would get from an AQ1200 :)

shit, i'm betting tampons to bellybuttons the m2a killed! :santa:

Not telling :peepwall:

I put my Audiopipe ap1500 through absolute hell for 6 months at .5 ohm. Only time it shut off was after nonstop listening for 3 hours

Nice to know that, i´m very impressed with the AP amp since i already clamped a 1000.1 a couple of months ago :)

I'm ready to see how the M1b did because I'm running one at .5 ohm on two DC lvl3 18's. I did a 149.4 in the kick outlaw style so I''m ready to see the results.

Just for the record, i did a 148.7 @ 42 hz on that DD m1b wired at 0.5 ohms using a single battery and 2 12´s in a ford explorer, that amplifier it´s a little monster, but no, i´ve never clamped it before haha :noob:

here´s a video with the setup i´m telling you :)

Forward the video to 0:32

Holy smoke.... And i'm a hair under that number with my ap3k wire at 1ohm on two 10's... Guess its time for new amp

Cone area FTW my friend, i honestly think it´s WAY easier to score higher numbers using more cone area rather than smaller cone area and more power, of course , this depends entirely on the application and if you have the room for a proper box, this 2 12´s box takes almost the entire trunk of a 4 doors explorer, box is 5.6 cubic feet and 3 6" aeros, talk about efficiency :)

True... But i think in terms of cone area to vehicle size ratio, my 10's in a coupe is plenty iom... But i'm just not as good as you are :).... Btw what is that box tuned to?

No you are not, you are better!!! i´ve never hit such a good score using a pair of 10´s ;)

What car do you have? my box is tuned to 38 hz, plays VERY flat from 35 to 50 hz, once i pass the 50 hz mark, output starts dropping A LOT!!

Here´s a video of that box playing music using an American Bass vfl 120.1 wired at 0.5 ohms :)

96 Acura Integra (2dr coupe)..... And that box is good looking as well. It seems very efficient, did you calculate the rise on that box?

Yes sir, that´s the box i´m using for the clamp tests right now, rise is at 1.4 ohms @ 42 hz where the peak is, i´m clamping also at 38 hz where i have a final impedance of 1.1 ohms :)
