mako22 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) hi guyz i came accross this (the link at the bottom) as i was browsing audiosavings and i found it prety good and im thinking of buying it..so could i have an experts apinion on if its any good...and if it is what capabilities do i have with the sub and the amp (i know it has a description on everything but because i dont know alot about car audio i would like some help) for exaple: can i wire it up to 1 ohm when it has dual 2ohm coils? and if i do is the sub gonna break cause of the more watts im feeding it? or how much sound deformation will the amp have towards the sound? in general im asking if it would be a good purchase or would it be money down the drain? http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Custom-Car-Sub-Amp-Packages/QUANTUM-Q15D2SPL-15-3000w-CAR-SUB3500w-MONO-AMPLIFIER/Q15D2SPL---QCA3500D---XK4B1.aspx Edited September 27, 2010 by mako22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BboyTaktix Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Never heard of the brand. Personally, I wouldn't. The equipment's specs aren't rated to CEA compliance and probably aren't accurate RMS ratings. But I'm no expert, don't have experience with this brand.

Guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) lol 60 amps worth of fusing...so a 500rms amp for a "1500rms" woofer. yeah nice. edit: by the way bboytaktix, CEA ratings dont mean anything anymore. companies can just BUY the logo and slap it on their products nowadays Edited September 27, 2010 by Kranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 i couldn't tell if it was a 20 or 40 for fusing. guess i was off on both numbers. but regardless it wasn't going to put out 1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've updated quite a but I believe. Basically they're trying to make level ground for RMS ratings for audio equipment, since the way you could rate the amp's RMS voltage varies depending on method. I know this from my engineering courses. Bottom line, you're still better off to go with a CEA rated amp, since true RMS will most likely be closer to real value. That's why I don't go with no-name equipment. Tried it once way back. The '5000watt' amp was finished in less than 3 days. Which reminds me I still have that POS in my basement lol.

Which reminds me I still have that POS in my basement lol. i dont think you understand. afaik, CEA's rules are from 2006, hence CEA-2006 etc. ask other guys on here about the ratings thing. like boon for example. edit: dont get me wrong, alpine and kicker etc's cea ratings are pretty legit. but when you see some brand youve never seen before that has CEA ratings and its like 8" wide and says it outputs 3000rms, its bullshit. like i said, companies can BUY the logo. so it isnt any good? because from written speach i cant understand the tone of the words "yeah nice." is it ironic or not? i think for the money its quite good. no its not good. the amp is rated for 1500rms but the fusing (60 amps worth) shows you that the amp to output AT MOST 600rms. if it could output 1500rms, it would have at least 150 amps worth of fusing.

Krazykid122 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 so if i contect the sub to the amp at 1 ohm will it not give 1750wattsRMS as it discribes?
