Today's Amp Test Tuesday is the Lightning Audio L1500D. It is 1 channel mono block and the manufacturer claims 500w rms. http://www.lightningaudio.com

First of all...just an FYI before i start. I have a very limited power supply on my test bench, I have 3 12v batteries, 3 14v batteries and 3 16v batteries. A lot of companies rate amplifiers @ 14.4-14.5vdc, basically the type of power you would expect when the vehicle is running and the alternator is turning. For that reason, i decided just to use the 14v bank. If a company stresses 12v ratings in the book, i normally will do those as well. This amp is rated at 14.4vdc so the 14v bank it is. That consists of 3 XS Power D1400 Batteries sitting on a XS Power HF1415 (15a) Intellicharger. It is in no way shape or form a "power supply" although when you look at the tests you might see the SURFACE charge above 15v. That is quickly used up when the test starts and is brought back down to low 14v range. It is not a perfect test due to my power supply issues. BUT, i think 3 small 14v batteries on a small 15a charger with a 1500watt rated amp pulling on it isn't TOO far off what you would see in real life.

You guys know how i do this....

Who wants to play a game? I did 3 tests. Guess the TOTAL number combined (add all 3 together) to come up with one large number for your guess. If someone gets the EXACT number, i will send them the test subject! Yes, the Lightning Audio L1500D! I am also going to toss a single 12" Lightning Audio Subwoofer into the mix! If NOBODY gets it, i will give the closest person who did NOT BUST. But there is a twist! If nobody gets it and i am forced to use the next closest person, then you will SPLIT the prize with the NEXT person closest to your score (who did NOT bust). So a perfect guess gets "ALL the fries". A not so perfect guess shares the prize. That means the amp goes to the first closest and sub goes to 2nd closest. Also, if someone posts a number before you do, make sure you don't double post because he will over rule you. Only one guess per person or you will be DQ'd. Do not change your post once you post it because you cannot take a number that someone posted after your's.

Now that that is out of the way

Let the games begin!

Add All of these below and post your final number! Tonight, 8:30 pm Pacific time i will upload the Youtube video with results. Why such short notice? well if you are a regular member of my site, this isn't a problem. :) Plus there is more where this came from as i have a 4 channel and some mids and highs coming on the next test!

Check my channel @ http://www.youtube.com/meade916

Add the results from all three of these test modes for your final number.

1. Certified Mode (test stops @ 1% Distortion) @ 1 ohm (X,XXX watts)

2. Non Certified Mode (test stops at Clipping) @ 1 ohm (X,XXX watts)

3. Dynamic RMS Burst Mode (Test stops @ clipping) @ 1 ohm) (X,XXX watts)

Final number = x,xxx watts (your guess)
