[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8268643, member: 660781"] So I've been running an audiobahn 2300HCT (class A/B) amp in mono for years. It was powering 2 TC-1000 subs (10", 400W RMS each). On paper, it's claimed to do 2400W RMS at 1ohm and it has 160A in fuses on it. No way I'm getting that much out of it and my guess is it'll do 1400W RMS tops while having horrible efficiency. However, it drove my subs perfectly and sounded simply awesome. Box is tuned to 34Hz, about 1.5 cu ft per side. My lights dimmed when I turned it up a bit. I decided that I'd swap it for audioque 1200W mono amp. It's a better fit for my stock electrical system, but it just doesn't sound the same. The gain is 3/4 of the way up, bass boost is half way up, but it's still just not the same. It's lacking that umph. Also, the trunk is now deadened with 100mil deadening. Is there anything I can adjust on the head unit (pioneer DEX-9500BHS) or on the amp? I'm hoping I can as I just can't believe that this amp just has that much less juice than the audiobahn. Any help is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
