Dissapointed in birthsheet

[Simek4life 10+ year member]

I recently bought 2 kicker 1500.1's and both of the birthsheets read exactly 1530

Isin't it ironic for both of the amps to read the same EXACT amount? I was hoping to send ~1700 rms to my subs because I saw most birthsheets were rated around there.

So my final question is.............would it be safe to assume I could get ~1700 rms out of them and set the gains using 1700 rms at 2ohm?

if they say 1530 why do u think theyll do 1700?

first off, im really starting to doubt the whole birthsheet thing, at least from kicker. ive seen probably like 6 or more kx2500.1's that all happened to be 2960@ 2 ohms (one was mine). kinda funny that not a single 1 wouldnt be 2961 or something....

either way

1) less than 200w an amp wont make a difference

2) why would you set your gains using 1700w on an amp that has a birthsheet that says it doesnt make 1700w?

3) just set it to 1530 using a -6db tone and be done with it

keep buying them you'll eventiually get one or two that do 1700+ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

run em at .5

when they break, buy something that does the power that you are looking for.

The amp is a Kicker 1500.1 for a reason, and not a 1700.1

Alright so it is not a good idea to try to get more out of them than they are "rated" for. It just seemed pretty funny, as you said, that they wouldnt be even 1 watt off from each other. I am just suspicious that they don't test every single one and just slap out a roughly estimated number

does your car sit at 14.4 volts anyway? thats the voltage they do there numbers at.

i heard that Kicker prints off the sheets and randomly just throws them in the boxes. i wouldn't worry to much about it.
