5 amps tested long read.

Ok I started about 2 months ago testing these amps to see which I would like the most so this is based solely on my opinion. I have tested the Sundown Saz 1500, Rainbow Ipaul dm2000, t1001bd, nine.1, and crossfire xp1400. The Rainbow is really not in the same class as these amps its more sq and thats exactly what it did had the best sound to it and was the most efficient amp but did exactly rated power and looks wise was unmatched by any of these. The nine.1 is also very efficient and does over rated power, it was my least favorite looks wise but is a great amp. The t1001bd is really underated and puts out lots of power but sucks pulls more power than any amp tested, also was the largest and heaviest amp of the whole group. The Sundown is exactly as everyone here knows about very powerful and efficient. Looks wise it is my secound favorite to the ipaul. The Crossfire xp1400 is the latest one tested. It is the smallest amp of the whole bunch. It also was the second most efficient amp to the ipaul, looks wise its very nice besides the silver piece in the middle that looks like the dub subwoofer from wal-mart. Power wise I believe it puts out more than the sundown. So final rankings in my opinion is as follows.

1. XP1400

2. SAZ1500

3. Rainbow

4.Nine.1

5. T1001BD

below is a picture of the last three amps I have left.

not even termlab scores ?

*stares*

sorry guys no termlab scores I am just small time and do this for fun hobby, the only one that was clamped was the crossfire and that was 1871 watts I believe. I did not do this testing but I have read that this is actually about what they do.

whats not believable here and what would I make up?

That wasn't a long read, just a bad one. Also, if you didn't do actual numbers, how do you know which one was the most efficient, and which one put out the most power?

sorry guys I wanted to put so much in there just didn't really know how to explain it all my bad and fail on myself.

Hey if we do have that meet up in my area, you should just bring them all so we can get it all metered!

what else would you like to know, I will answer all questions?

 

[Ali1 10+ year member]

the t10001bd pulled the most current? I thought those amps were known for their efficiency?

you said some were efficient, some werent

how did u figure out their efficiencies?

 

[gymfreak101 10+ year member]

my car has a digital voltage read out. the amps were all set by dmm and then turned to exact same volume and played on same song to see which caused most drop. but like I said the Rainbow should be in different test because it only does a 1000 watts no more no less.

Ali I have not heard the t1001bd was efficient from anyone and definately caused most voltage drop.
