scores that match the power numbers they claim.

seems like in their "tests" they put out a ton of power but then on the sensor their scores are very mediocre and they just become another 1500 watt amp.

I'm of the opinion that 1500W RMS = 150 min. At least mid 40's.

I had an SQ system in my Daytona. One 250W RMS amp bridged into a 10+ year old Alpine 15" SQ sub in a 2.8 cu. ft. ported box. I was able to hit 139 at an IASCA show with that setup. I shake my head when I see sub-140s these days on 'SPL' systems with over 1000 watts. Somethings not right with the gear or the setup.

IASCA is metered different than db drag, i bet that stereo would be doing low 30s on a termlab.

Funny that you say that whent he rex that was at the dbdrag ran a 152 with 6kwatts...

And no, our systems was horribly put together...we need new box, more copper, testing on tl...

exactly my point. See how much easier it is to claim a 1500 watt amp puts out 3000+ than it is to get loud with it as if it were a 3000 watt amp.

I dont know of any 1500 watt amps that put out over 3kwatts...

If you are talking about me, I have 2 1500 watts amps strapped...

And I know it can do better when i am not using a prefab box and have more then 1 run of 4GA wire...

doubling your power wire will gain you .2db at the most, which would put you at a 140.0

what are you running for subs?

4 g wire. Boy I wish I could get away that ( the Mini does). The explorer has 8 runs of 1 and the power wheels has 4. Tha microwave won't even burp unless it has 4 runs pluged in. Your right the pre fab probably has to go too.

I would be willing to bet by more, It is not easy to pull 3k watts off of 4GA wire...

Subs are Clif designs CD120C.

I also need new box asap...

Honestly, its not very easy to pull off when using sundrounz on a single 12V battery, maybe on a few 16V batts they could do 3K

I tested z1's to do about 5300 Real world watts on a single optima group 31, battery dropping to 11V, amps strapped at .375 ohms
