neonhomer Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just recently got around to getting a sub in my 99 Passat. I picked up a Sundown X-12 and box, and a Tezla TZ-1500.1D. It's being fed with 4ga from the battery up front. (I'm in the process of adding a second battery to the trunk. In the meantime, I have the gain set on the amp to where the voltage doesn't fall below 12v when the bass hits.) I was just wondering if anyone has heard of Tezla, and if anyone has any experience with them. A friend of mine, who has a DD Redline series 15 and a SSL 4000D is telling me that his amp was the better choice ... "I paid less than you did for you amp, and mine's a 4000, while yours is only a 1500." I did notice the SSL has three 35A fuses, so I figure that to be around 1050w. What's strange is the Tezla DOES NOT have fuses in the amp itself, but requires a 150A fuse be installed in the line feeding the amp. Of course our objectives are different... He wanted a system "that could interrupt your heatbeat". I just wanted a system to drown out the world around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonhomer Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 That what I was having an issue with as well... No fuses in the amp. For the most part, the thing sounds good, and it gets loud enough to do what I wanted it to do... drown out the world around me. If it dies, then I will replace it. One thing that bothers me as well is the shop is not really pushing, but recommending the Tezla TZ-120.4D for my door speakers, which are DB Drive P3M 6C 's... With that amp not having fuses, I'm not sure what to do... As it is I am on a budget and don't want to throw money into an amp that is going to vaporize itself within months.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Any company that offers an extended warranty for using their amp kit can kma.Rockford does that.I believe Memphis, kicker and jl do as well. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

My friend has one he bought brand new at a flea market for like $100.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 The fuse goes inline on the power wire.
