But why do that when you could get 1500w RMS at 2ohms with the DXP 11500

Clarion Rocks
Instead Of Comparing What Amp Has The Mist Power Lets Compare At What $$$$$ Are You Paying For That Wattage, So If The Clarion Was 300 Watts Rms And It Retails $300 Thats $1/watt, Now I Know Readin Wattage Specs Is Liek Reading National Inquirer , So Beware, The Only Way To Know What An Amp Does Is Test It Your Self With The Proper Equipment, And Then Load Test The Amp For Strenght. In My Opinion Any Amp Or Person That Say There Amp Does 2500 Watts Needs Help And Do The Math, A Car With A Diposable 30 Amps Off Alternator Running At 14.4 Volts Would Mean You Can Only Ever Have An Amp Give You Max Wattage Of432 Watts Before Your Car Shuts Off!

LOL, Never mind not even going to start. Ah why not. Your kidding right?? So what you are saying is your system wattage is limited to the amount of disposible amps from the alt. over and beyond what the vehicle uses. And then if you exceed that your car dies?

Clarion rates all of their amps with CEA-2006 compliant testing which is 14.4v at 1%thd so you can trust the ratings.
Power per dollar clarion is doing pretty good and from what I see the Ultimate is also a good choice they rate theirs at 13.8 so at 14.4 they would pump out a little more power
But I think the clarion is quite a bit cheaper

Yes
That Exaclty What I Am Saying!! Why Do You Think Large Systems Required Multiple Batteries, If You Install An Amp That Will Requires More Amps That The Alternator Can Give Then It Will Start Taking Away From What The Car Needs To Run, Only After The Cars Battery Is Dead Of Course Which Wont Take Long, Therefore Headlight Dimming Woudl Be A Good Sign Of Gettin Close To Voltage Drops To The Cars Computers! I Been Doign This For 15 Yrs And I Am A Electronics Engineer And With 15 Yrs Installing I Know What I Know From What I Seen, Then Only Have I Done The Math, With Electronics Seeing Is Beliving And Math Sometimes Doesnt Equate.
By The Way The Clarion Amp Is In My Opnion The Best Buy Those Amps Rock, Killer Price For Killer Output, And Thats Based On My Ears!!! Not My Math And Really What Counts --- How It Sounds Right!

Wow........Wow thats all I have to say. Uhmm did you forget the fact that a car has a battery to deliver over 1000 CCA? Oh and by the way I didn't say the Clarion Amps are bad cause I am a Clarion dealer. I simply said they could get schooled by an Ultimate T3. And if Clarion knew one thing about marketing they would know that they should have product before releasing them as new models and not introduce them 3/4 of the way through the Canadian Season. I had a few of the 1500's on order. Customers got fed up and went to T3 for the same money, more power, and better warranty.

nice
yes your right cold cranking amps 1000 you say,,,, for about 5 seconds then it goes back to the real amperage that the battery can do and most gm batteries are good for 80 amps/hour you do the math, i am curious do you work for a car audio shop, please do tell us where woudl be nice to know! why dont you call a shop tommorow and tell them you want one of those 1000 amps batteries that last forever, lol and how does an rated 95 amp charging alternator ever charge that 1000 amp battery, and why woudl a car ever need 1000 amps when it prolly take 65 amps to run everyting in it, do you think any manufacture woudl jsut give you somethin thats so incredible because there bored , yea right any car maufacturer wil give you the bare necesities to run the car and that's it! if you wana run anything beyound that there limits and it will cost you
