akuma4u Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think you went the wrong way on this one but that's just me. Let us know how it works out for you. i didnt buy anything yet.. still in the searching phase.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chance_P Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I ran a pair of zv4s on 5k and 7k. I definitely noticed an increase in output between the two, and Def recommend a 2500 to 3k amp for a single zv4. A clean 2500 watts vs a 2k amp being pushed to its limits is going to be better all around. *This is all just my opinion based on hands on experience* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I wouldn't buy the shark. 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.

Triticum Agricolam Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Like reed all said, I'm referring to audible differences. Going from a true 1500 watts to a true 2500 watts will make a difference on the meter, you just probably won't be able to hear it. The problem is almost no one actually KNOWS for sure how much power their amp is putting out. So if you switch from a budget 1500 watt amp that really only puts out 1200 watts and then go to a premium 2500 watt amp that puts out more like 3000, you are probably going to notice a difference. Then there is the issue of how gains were sets. Assuming you are using a DD-1, going from a -7.5 to a -5 db test track will almost double the power going to the subs.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Sometimes though even if your ears don't perceive it as louder you can still feel a difference physically. And triticum is dead on about the amps power output. I bet people would be shocked that to find out their 1500 watt amp(even a legit one) is only feeding 100-200 watts to their subs due to various reasons. 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.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 And then toss driver efficiency in with that and they'd be shocked to find out how little power they are actually using.

reedal Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 ^^^ yeah... It's a scary thought. One I don't want to find out. I like living not knowing. But I do want an AMM-1 and IMSG...
