SQMonte Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I just heard about these amps last night, these things any good? Does it do rated? Would you say its on par with Sundown as far as build quality and power output? Is it a power hog?

fmedina Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Sundown will shit on them. But I have heard they do rated if not close to it with good electrical cuz they are power hungry. I was actually considering trying one of their amps out. So im curious to see what people got to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQMonte Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 No can do power hungry amps.....what about Crescendo, are they hogs too?

412 CVX Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 correct me if i'm wrong, but it takes power to make power right? so naturally an amp that does rated would naturally be power hungry? or does it have to do with the efficiency of the amp? Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

fmedina Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 It has to do with how efficient the amp is. Some require more power to make their rated compared to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfoodstamp Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I've ran a couple of the A7 amplifiers and they are strong, do rated, run.5 ohm, built like a tank and no more power hungry than any other amp in its class. In my opinion they are in the same league as Sundown, DC Audio amps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Thornton Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) we have one in Katie's s10 right now... running two Sundown sa8" and doing a 146.5dB at 38hz. they are strong amplifiers but but our goal is a Sundown 2500 on her 8's. EDIT: I see in your signature that you are running a Sundown saz1500d.... Keep the Sundown. The 1500d from Sundown is a stronger amplifier than the dBdrive. If you are serious about the dBdrive, we'll trade you. lol Edited December 29, 2011 by PULSE CAR AUDIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
