Did a cool test with three high powered amps :) check it out...

I went over to a buddies house Saturday and we decided to quench our thirst for audio and did a test with a few different set ups...

The items used were:

One TermLab metered from the dash.

One slot ported box.

Two dual 2 H2 12's

Two dual .9 VFL 12's

Two Orion 2500d's

Two SoundStream 6500's

One Memphis Mojo amp

I have a CRX with a yellow top up front and two Kinetik 2400 batteries out back, and we had a car charger on the set up the entire time to make sure the voltage stayed the same for all burps. We made sure by using a multi meter of course //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

This was not really a test to see what woofers were louder, but more-so to see what the differences in amps were. A few of us thought the 2500d was stronger than the Mojo, and vice versa, and we threw the SoundStream in there just to see how much it would crush lol...

Here we go.

Two H2 12's + one 2500d @ .5 ohm = 148.67

Two H2 12's + one Mojo @ .5 ohm = 148.26

Two H2 12's + one SS 6500 @ .5 ohm = 149.18

volume maxed @ 16 out of 40 on my Pioneer deck.

peak frequency was 50hz

Two VFL 12's + one SS 6500 @ .9 ohm = 148.67

volume maxed @ 25 out of 40 for the VFL and one 6500.

peak frequency was 64hz

Two VFL 12's + two SS 6500 @ .45 ohm = 151.22

Two VFL 12's + two 2500d's @ .45 ohm = 150.43

volume maxed @ 17 for the SS and 16 for the 2500d.

peak frequency still 64hz

Two H2 12's + two 2500d @ 1 ohm = 149.4

volume maxed @ 17, frequency 50hz.

Anyways... if anyone has interest in these results then its some cool time wasting reading material.

Bottom Line

SoundStream 6500 > Orion 2500d > Memphis Mojo

Just like I thought //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I did however expect the Mojo to keep up a bit more with the 2500d and I expected the SS 6500 to out-do both by a larger amt...

there ya go //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sounds like u guys had some fun! Nice read.

Volume maxxed @ 17 out of 40, WTF?

And gee go figure a 4490 watt amp did better than a 2500 one.

What is the power rating on the mojo?

 

[CRXBMPN 5,000+ posts]

yes volume maxed @ 17 out of 40. Whats wrong with that? Nothing.

And as I said, we knew the SS would beat the 2500d, but who knew by how much or how little.

I think the Mojo is supposed to do 2k @ 2? Its .5 stable though... as you just saw.

Anything else?

It was I, we did it in his crx with a box made a couple years ago. didnt want to waste the 18 so we used the 2 12's so we had diff impedances to use.

go orion we did a test also, powerbass 3000 vs orion 2500d and the orion was .3 louder than the powerbass. i still love my orion.

by the way, there are two Mojo's out... the one we used was the 2000d

i would hope so //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

haha yeah if the 4000d or wahtever couldnt hold its own i'd probably be wiping myself

 

[audiolife 5,000+ posts]

looks pretty much in line to me. i dunno if i would run a 4k mojo on 2 monsters.....they DONT like voltage drops at all they get smokey lol

 

[LuckyT 10+ year member]

that is the one thing I like about the soundstreams, no worries about them blowing at all. The protection on these are awesome and they can run .35 ohm 18 volts out of the box.
