[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8801222, member: 591582"] Idk who or what that is. I don’t really follow anyone audio-wise, I just study physics and have been doing car audio for about 15 years. I really think the test that would show or not show what I’m talking about would be taking a sub and trying to like screw the sub up in a bad box and seeing which amp would fail first or lose control of the sub, like playing way below tuning. Putting a sub in a crappy box and environment and seeing what amp failures arise by intentionally stressing the amp would be how I would test what I’ve been talking about. It’s not the biggest deal, just depends on what you’re doing. Most people probably won’t notice with what they do, just depends I think on how hard you are on your equipment. If I wasn’t in such a **** situation, I’d totally love to test this and see if I can show amp weak spots. I’m rough on my equipment because I like maximum bass. I just wish there was an easier way to determine amp quality. I know my ED 9.1 sounded better than my audiopipe 1500. The ED amp would play lower and louder with 2 15’s tuned at 34 hz in a ~9 cube box. I remember because I tested the amp limits by playing high and low above tuning. The ED amp played better and somewhat significantly lower below port tuning. The AP amp wouldn’t even move the subs as much once I got down to like the low low 30 hz’s. I could see the lack in woofer excursion with my eyeballs, even, on the lows with the AP amp. I do tend to have extremely sensitive hearing, to be fair, many might not pick up on it, and maybe it’s lucky them. I am OCD with sound; you should see the math behind some of my boxes lol.
