TaylorFade Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I tested a couple amps yesterday if anyone is interested.The B2 and the big bish all the way to the right were tested, but I won't include them here since it was more of a 6-7k roundup.I won't bore y'all with the whole spiel but I have a bank of fixed resistors that give me a 1 ohm load so that will be the "resistive" result part. The traditional clamp was .25 nominal on a pair of 15's in my CRX. Electrical was many, many banks of caps so assume voltage drop was nil from 14v or so.CT Sounds 7k - 7,000w resistive - 7,930w rising to .9 - 158.6dbAmerican Bass 750.1 - 6,200w resistive - 7,100w rising to .9 - 158.2db. Sundown NS-1 - 5,800w resistive - 6,550w rising to .9 - .7db down from the CT.DD M4a - 6,000w resistive - 6,490w rising to .9 - 158.0dbJBL Crown 6000 - 5,200w @ 5 ohm resistive - 6,400w rising to 3 ohms - 158.2db Popcorn Sounds 6k - 5,100w resistive - 5,700w rising to .9 - 157.1db. Dirty, dirty as shit.I like amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorFade Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Popcorn Sounds is some cheesy, budget Chinese stuff. *supposedly* the same boards as re Lanzar Opti's. They're cheap as shit. And dirty as week old draw's. Resistive was measured with a scope and TRMS Fluke voltmeter like so... Damn. I forgot the efficiency numbers.

nCOMP1337 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 i have heard of popcorn sounds before, though usually hear the words dirty along with it. puts out power but not s clean as others of same power, i dont know of prices so maybe people are fine paying a little less for that much power even if its not as clean. what is the brands for the first and last one? also im really liking the ct sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorFade Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 CT - 71% efficientAB - 72% NS-1 - 72%M4a - 71%Crown - 62%Popcorn - 60%. Lmao.An A/B amp was more efficient than that garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Im not sure who thought popcorn sounds was a good name for an amp. First thing that comes to mind is the poppong sound whjch you dont want out of amps THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
