Also the rubicon and tarantula series amps are very accurant as far as power Have not tried the D-towers yet to give an opinion, but from what i've heard the 3400 is bad ass!! -

the XXX series amps are 16v amps. the 6500 has the potential to put out more than rated. got an exert from trinituner.com on the XXX-6500d HOPE THIS HELPS: I got in touch with Peter Pabrucki of Maximum Threshold Custom Car Audio & Security in Kitchener, ON for some help testing this monster. I made a trip up to the shop a week later, where we connected the amp to a 1982 Buick Regal owned by Chris Sames. The Regal had six Delco Voyageur batteries in the trunk, all strapped together with bus bars. This made for a very easy install with a few pieces of 1/0 awg cable. With my scope, load resistors, current clamp and voltmeter set up, we set forth with the testing. Just one second into the first burp of the amp had the battery voltage drop to 11.6V. With 450A of current flowing into the amp, it belted out 3,364W of power. Fun, but not what I expected. I let the monster Motomaster battery charger reload the amps as much as possible and burped the beast once more. This time, we saw 11.9V and 471A going in, and 3,721W coming out. Better, but I wanted more. I asked Chris (the vehicle owner) to start the car, as maybe the alternator would add some extra juice. With two-year-old gas being burned and the shop filling with raunchy fumes, the batteries quickly filled up to just over 14.9V. We revved the Regal up a bit, and went for the last run. Now, with 517A of current flowing, the input voltage dropped to 12.1V and the amp cranked out an impressive 3,844W. Knowing I wasn’t going to get any more supply voltage, this was recorded as the biggest number of the day. How does that compare to spec? Soundstream rates the amp at 4,082W RMS with a 13.5V supply voltage. Considering we made almost this much with only 12.1V, this amp is well capable of exceeding its published ratings, if you can feed it the current it wants -
I still say build the correct ported box for the subs you have. Another thing I would suggest would be a digital bass processor since you listen to old school 80's hip hop. alot of those songs from that time don't have alot of low end stuff. but I would not turn that processor up when you listen to the new school stuff with the already amp up bass lines.

I'm looking for a personal review on these also. -
couple ?'s reguarding amps and alarm
djphilly replied to aimone's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
As far as the alarm situation goes. I got my truck broken into about 2 years ago before I got a chance to install a alarm into it. box with the subs in it weighed around 200 pounds. took that and the amp bolted to the back seat. in front of my job. sucks but dont just assume because your stuff is heavy and secured down it won't get taken. -
love it . test results please!!

I am a Soundstream dealer. Lets get this straight, because some people have the wrong info. There is a Mother company called EPSILON that owns, power acoustik, soundstream, percission power, SPL, and some other brands. Soundstream is the most reputable computer they have. soundstream amps are true to their word on power and they have been making them on their own since the 1990's Their subs, same thing very reliable in my opinion. Check SBN last year. Soundstream sweep SBN by setting multiple world records and had numerous competitors there that placed using Soundstream product. Yes. I believe that making a ported box will give you the results you want with those subs. the right box will really surprise you. !!

I really wanna see the GRAVISSIMA. Sounds like a monster.

He already said he tried 2 other decks and MP3, check out the post before mine. My bad. Guess i wasn't paying attention

4 Fi Audio IB3 18's walled off 15Hz tune in a VAN BUILD LOG
djphilly replied to kryptonitewhite's topic in Build Logs
SSSSOOOOOOO LOWWWWWW!! I would like to hear a box tuned that low myself. -
Check your RCAs from your deck. do you have another Headunit that you can switch out and try? does the distortion happen on all sources?(CD, AUX, TUNER, IPOD. etc.)
-
Nice looking wall. Is It a 4th order bandpass? looks like it.
-
YO THIS IS A CRAZY BUILD!!. WILL BE TUNED IN ON THIS ONE MAN.
-
classic, a very sick build this is going to be. TOOOOOO FUNNY!!
-
Just like JAY-CEE said if your not satisfied with your setup then do the upgrade. and just because the amp is more powerful doesn't mean you HAVE to add another sub. Actually I would suggest getting a bigger amp anyways to give you some head room and just dial down the gains to what the subs can handle. my .02

nice pics and very good voltage. do you have the pro switchable MLA module to get up to 15.4?

i'm liking that glass. keep the updates coming. videos
