Afficionado Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Now what about the 3500, I remember reading that it does over rated. Have you ever tested that? Haven't rolled across one yet...so nope! If you have any questions relating to nutrition, lifting, or health in general, feel free to give me a PM and I will give you straight forward advice with no BS involved.

truthsayer Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Although the SQ did pretty close to rated, my son will be disappointed. Still a great amp though. ( hell it's his second one, not because it went bad, but first one was stolen) I just think it"s funny how people are going to make excuses for the SQ, yet will continue to dog out the soundstream, even though it did close to rated. Once again i may not be a fan of soundstream, ( nor do i run soundstream) but i get a kick out people dogging them out even though they have never ran them. Yet the two people i know who run them, seem to like them. And as of yet no problems, that i have heard of. One of the guys is curious if anyone has tested the TA 3000.1 series amps. That he runs on a 18" orion hcca. mf'r pounds. Anyways keep the test coming, that sort of info is always great to read about. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorFade Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I unfortunately don't have an AD-1 so I'm not sure how I would measure voltage at the point where the measurement was taken. Which i know does mess with the accuracy of the test, but not the consistency when comparing it to the other amps i've tested. You don't have a voltmeter? Or a DMM? It doesn't have to be at the exact nanosecond the dyno mode number pops up. Just eyeball it a second or so into the burp. Voltage drop is a huge part of reporting power numbers. There is obviously a big difference between 2k @ 15v and 2k @ 11v. And it's not just the voltage difference; it's the low voltage performance that is noteworthy. And not monitoring voltage will certainly affect your consistency when testing amps- because the voltage drop will be different every time. Efficiency varies. Which is another big variable.

The consistency of the amps within a vehicle isn't affected. The accuracy of the tests is, and there is a difference. The test would with out a doubt be more accurate with a voltage reading, but it wouldn't affect it's comparison to the other amps tested in the same way in my vehicle.

n8ball2013 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I think Taylor is asking because it's been shown many times before that it does rated and then some so he's curious to your test variables.

Afficionado Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I think Taylor is asking because it's been shown many times before that it does rated and then some so he's curious to your test variables. I see. Well there is nothing I can do at this point, like i said when i posted its "scores", these may not be accurate, but they are at least consistent to the other tests. So you can see how it compared to the soundstream, the rockford, and the SPL-FX1 given the same variables. Has someone dynoed this amp before?

walwalka Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm not sure I can believe those results to be honest, no excuses made. But mine clamped 16xx rising to 2.1 ohm at 13.9v, on a DB drag run this year. That was well over the 2ohm rating and my best score of the year. While a half a volt doesn't mean much, a half a volt and and full ohm lower resistance I don't see 2200w output being any problem at all. What was the ending voltage? What is the electrical behind it?

Yes it would, every amp preforms differently on different voltage. As the amp could be amperage hungry and dragging you down further than the other amps that you have tested. 2010 Honda Civic LX / Deck: Kenwood DDX371 / Front Highs: Crescendo RTS-1 / Front Mids: Silver Flute 6.5's / 4 channel: DC Audio 90.4 / Sub: Fi 15in SP4v2 / Sub amp: Taramps HD 5000 / Power wire: Knukonceptz OFC 1/0 / Deadener: Audio Technix 60 mil / Batteries: XS Power D5100R / Rear bank: TBD / Alternator: Singer 240a hairpin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
