difference in power

[cleansoundzz 10+ year member]

Can someone explain to me why my Alpine M12 seems so much stronger than both my T1000-1bdCP and T1500-1bdCP on my RF T2 12 at 2 ohms? All three amps were set with my DD1 using track 5 (-10db) with my head unit volume at 33 out of 35. The low pass crossovers were set at 100hz. My electrical is an 180 amp alternator with big three, yellowtop up front and a batcap in the back.

This is over my head, I could understand the T1000-1bdCP but not the t1500. Any extra insight would be good.

Probably has something to do with box rise? Even though the fosgates are the constant power the m12 handles the impedence rise a little better?

That is something I never thought of but it would make a lot of sense. I think the M 12 has a circuit within it that helps with impedance rise.

Oops found the culprit. One of the knobs on my 3.2 was turned down on the t1500. Bass hits just as hard as it did with the pdx m-12

What batcap do you have and how does it perform?
