Comparison Test : 2 VFL 150.1s v 1 XX Colossus

[btnhfan]

Test results will be up tonite.

2 hc2400s in the back and 2 12" SX subs. Not changing anything except doing a direct swap at 1 ohm stereo, then .5 ohm mono.

Heres a few comparison shots

jesus, that thing is huge

cant wair for the results

[bumpin_blazer]

wait so you're going to compare power output of the dog and the hifonics amp? WIKED! lemme know which one does more better:D.

[btnhfan]

So far

At 1 ohm stereo, colossus is down by 1.2 dbs
At .5 ohm mono, it is down by .7 dbs

Gonna try some more tricks though.

[bumpin_blazer]

what's the rated rms that both of these should put out at those #'s?? i know i could look up the colossus but i figured you're on and well you dont have to look it up:p:

[btnhfan]

colossus is 3200w mono at 2 ohm, I think 14.4v

VFLs are 2000w at 1 ohm at 12v

whats the actual nominal dcr for these tests?

[btnhfan]

I will check that out when everything is done

Heres an interesting note...

I went down 2 freqs from what I burp at with the VFLs, and the score just went up

Now I am .2 down from the VFLs

Im gonna tinker with the settings now.


I guess you can say this is a very strong amp from being almost as strong, if not as strong, as 2 vfls.

[chinny]

are these modded vfls

[btnhfan]

No

They do not need to be modded for higher voltage or lower impedence.

The VFLS really shine at 16v+

[chinny]

so vfls do 2kilowatts at 12v out of the box? hmmmm

[bumpin_blazer]

colossus is 3200w mono at 2 ohm, I think 14.4v

VFLs are 2000w at 1 ohm at 12v

is that 2kw per vfl or what?? i used to know those amps well but that was when they first came out and people made such a big deal about them.

[btnhfan]

Yes 2kw per amp

I cant find my dmm, but I believe the coils on the SXs are something like 2.6, Im not exactly sure.

If thats the case, then its .65 dcr, not .5
And 1.3 dcr

[bumpin_blazer]

wow that is impressive i think. what kind of voltage are we talking?? obviously you're a noob so i'm not sure if you'll know this:p:. thanks for the comparison though man i'm sure a few peeps were wondering about the colossus.

[btnhfan]

I didnt have my dmm for the colossus test, but for the VFLs, it was dropping from 14.7 to 11v

I would assume it is about the same.

[bumpin_blazer]

is the colossus regulated or unregulated??

[chinny]

i just wanna know if the vfls would do 2kw out of the box at 12v

[InhumanAcura]

i just wanna know if the vfls would do 2kw out of the box at 12v

then run a search....there isnt any mods....so if it'll do 2k, it does it out of the box ;)

[chinny]

then run a search....there isnt any mods....so if it'll do 2k, it does it out of the box ;)

i did do a search and i asked cuz nothing came up.

[btnhfan]

Yes they will

No modding is required.


Im going to mess around with this amp some more tomorrow. Seems like I have some untapped power left to get out of it. So far I am very pleased

Good job snova :)

[chinny]

wow i wanna look more into these

[chinny]

what would they do at 1ohm with ~13v

[bigbassman]

150.1's do 1500-1650 watts @ 1 ohm with 12 volts

150.1's max out @ 2750-2850 watts @ .25-.3 ohm with 12 volts, you may have to roll the volume..

they'll daily drive @ .5 with 12v, generally...

we've used them extensively up here... in vehicles running anywhere from 1, to 8 of em.. 12v, and 16v
