calvin_115 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 Got my AP-18001D today. I quickly opened up the cover while voiding the warranty as I couldn't resist to see her nude. A couple of people here said that this amplifier is possible overrated since it is a newer model. Well it came with a 120A external fuse so... the AP-15001D comes with a 100A fuse and the AP-30001D comes with a 200A. They all seem kinda odd but they are CEA-2006 compliant (I think) and some people tested them and they give out the wattage so I would believe that the 18001D is also solid. Pitchas: If you're wondering why I'm using such thin wires, well I am actually running this off a Corsair 60A power supply. I know that I'm asking for trouble. Voltage trouble, but so far it isn't TOO bad. I will be buying some thicker wires, maybe modify my power supply to use 4 gauge wires. Right now the power wires are about 1.5 feet long. Here it is with my Sony Xplod XM-D9001GTR cea-2006 compliant amplifier. I will post some videos up soon.

ben29555 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 looks just like the 1500 i assume its a bit larger? My Build Log loud bass songs
Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 thats exactly what i was thinking LOL.. i hate the terminals for the power and ground tho, should have stuck with the 3k type ones for that The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall....... I just realized Steve has reach Voldemort status, over on JP's site he is the one who will not be named....."We dont speak his name over here, fearing it will destroy us" LOL not even in hush tones

sundownz Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 It has two extra output FETs. Count em - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected]
newls1 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 It has two extra output FETs. Count em What does that mean? good/bad/etc...... I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny
sundownz Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 Also I believe it has four more power supply FETs. - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected]
sundownz Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 Has more "stuff in it" than the 1500 model for more power... same basic design, more transistors for a bit more power. - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected]
calvin_115 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Posted August 22, 2009 Has more "stuff in it" than the 1500 model for more power... same basic design, more transistors for a bit more power. So would you say that this would definitely do more than 1500 watts RMS if I had a good electrical system?

calvin_115 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Posted August 22, 2009 Also, does anyone know if this amplifier would do 0.5 ohm or 0.8 ohm stable? I ask for 0.8 because for some reason my DVC 2 ohm subwoofers; when I wire them parallel/parallel, I get a final of 0.8 and not 0.5.
