how much current does it draw does it have i found one brand new for 1499.99

Yeah it might be efficient, but it has a lot of distortion!

"it amplifies audio signal directly to DVC subwoofers from the patent-pending, signal-modulated power supply, rather than relying on help from amplification circuits found in traditional Class D or Class A/B designs. This results in efficiency ratings unheard of in mobile audio – 90-percent efficiency at a 2-ohm load and 93-percent efficiency at a 4-ohm load at full power! "

RMS Power in Watts

@14.4V, 2O Mono, =1.5% THD+N 10000 x 1

@14.4V, 4O Mono, =1.5% THD+N 5000 x 1

Check out those THD specs! Luckily its for subwoofers or that would be a pretty noisy amp!

Hey LA_CRX.......Where's the pics of said amp with username below?

I wanted one big amp so the wiring wouldn't be all messy ...if I wanted two amps Id just ran my pair of DD Special Edition Amps....

Squirrels are stealing you blind, no pun intended:crap:

the THD really doesnt matter one freaking bit, my XXX4000D's have a 5% THD rating and I never "heard" anything different from them than anything else with

You think you can tell the difference between 1% and 1.5%? You must have golden ears considering that any speaker is going to introduce way more distortion than that.

Golden ears? Try turning your home stereo up to 70% volume with NO material playing. Hear that hiss? That's your signal to noise ratio. Now, imagine playing music through that hiss and having EVERY little blip, click, pop, and digital wonk sound coming through at 5000+ watts.

There's a reason subs sound a lot louder, fuller, and cleaner on a huge *** class A/B amp pushed at 0.1% THD compared to one running at 5%. You can always rate it like the old Rockford Punch 45 amps at 10% THD and have a loud setup that sound hollow and noisy! Real balla there!

1.5% isn't bad at all at 10,000 at two ohms...should be perfect on my DD 9912z its a dual 1 so I can wire it at 1ohm mono for a daily beater

 

[VWBobby 10+ year member]

I'm sure you won't hear it, so it should be fine..... Personally, if it was up around 5-10%, I would be thinking twice. I'm sure it will absolutely pound with that sub!

Super jealous, wish I had the cash to blow right now. Trying to decide if I want to go with a DDZ 18 or 4 SA-8s...

So what does this have to do with the "horrible" 1.5% distortion that the amp is rated at?

There's a reason subs sound a lot louder, fuller, and cleaner on a huge *** class A/B amp pushed at 0.1% THD compared to one running at 5%.

Yes, because that's 50 times the amount of distortion. And most would say that the distorted dignal would be fuller or warmer, like with tube amps that distort the signal on purpose.

I'm arguing the difference between the standard 1% ratings and this amps 1.5% ratings.
