Can anyone verify a post that i've seen on here stating that the SAZ-1500 can do 1970 at 12.26v? Or if you have clamped this amp, what results have you gotten?

I know that they are rated at 1500w, but some people say that they can do more. I'm just curious of some other people's results. I was considering getting one used for a set of DC LVL 3 15s. I think that the 1500 will be short changing their potential.

seen one clamp a little over 2k @ 12.6v with a rise to 1.1, they are all different but i can assure you if rise is kept around 1-1.5 you'll see at least 1800w rms @ 12.6v, even more

If i can get 1800w or more from one that would be perfect for my DC LVL 3 15s.

It all comes down to your charging system and impedance rise. If you can keep a good, steady current, you should be where you need to be. You should also take into account that these tests were done on ~12.5-12.85volts. With the car running, you should be seeing closer to ~14.1-14.6volts and higher outputs from the amp. Has anyone clamped an saz-1500 on ~14.4volts? I think these numbers would be a little more helpful for you..
