yea but are you getting a true 1500 watts out of that amp......there in lies the question.

anywho, lol this is bob's build thread. maybe we should start a new thread and continue this debate if anyone wishs so

 

sundown 1500D

at 1ohm its over that.....retails for $599, excellent build quality.

slapon a JL badge and watch the price sky rocket.

 

i dont care guys, keep the debate going. lol. It basically boils down to preference. Personally I would much rather spend $2k on a single genesis amp knowing that the customer service and quality of the amp is many times greater than that of a $300 amp that produces the "same" power.

 

In my case....I'd get 2 of the $300 ones, have twice the power,and $1400 in my pocket.

 

oops, meant to say sinfoni, not genesis. although genesis is good too!.

 

so, hillbilly, want to post up some of those 8" woofer enclosure ideas? Remember I have 4 of them.

 

I guess it deosnt matter as much when all you are trying to achieve is loud bass. I prefer nice tight punchy bass with a potential to get decently loud. I cant stand to listen to anything over 129dbs while driving around. The cleaner the power, the better the sound. If I buy cheaper equipment with dirty power, the overall sound is greatly effected. It also can depend on if the person has ever heard the difference between dirty and clean power.

 

I believe there is a major difference in the wattage that you get out of different levels of amps. If you spend cash on cheaper amps that are way over rated, you are not going to get as "clean" of power as you would with a more expensive amp. I have always believed inrunning mydrivers with more expensive wattage, you will see a major increase in your driver life with a higher end amp. This is just my personal prefrence as well tho, I agree with bob when he says the cleaner the power the better the sound. I like to aim my stuff more towards the SQ side with clean power and in turn clean sound.

 

And by the way bob, I like the project you have been going I have been trying to keep up with all the posts here. I wish I had the extra cash to start somthing similar!

 

all of my gear (with the exception of my new 8" woofers coming) are all left over gear from my sedan installjust extra "junk" I have laying around. The onyl real money I have spent on the blazer so far is the alarm and the 1/0ga wiring (and wiring accessories - fuse holder and fused distro).
