who wants one?

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is stored in the form of potential. As the potential energy increases your heart surges, adrenaline rushes and your body braces in anticipation. The energy demands to be released. When you choose to release the potential, is now up to you.

Making this product seems like a sort of masturbatory excercise for Rockford Fosgate.

 
but for $20k i could get more then 15000rms.
Yup. 2500D goes for what, about $550 or so?15K / 2.5K = 6

$550 * 6 = $3,300

HEAPS less cash for the same wattage.

Erm. Can you get more than a 1 million dollar ferrari by getting 2,000 ford escorts?
No you cannot. But you can durn sure get 15,000w RMS for less than $20K.
Your comparison doesn't apply. 2000 Escorts won't ever approach the performance of that lone Ferrari. However, you most assuredly can get the same amount of audio output for far less money. (albeit at the expense of considerably more space taken up)

 
I rather shoot myself in the penis with a brad nailer..

I'd like to tape that. Although I would only want to catch facial reactions. No penis reactions. No penis at all.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

 
I would never buy one, and I sincerely hope that the technology used in that amplifier never makes it into actual consumer-grade products. Technically it's more like a ~4kw RMS amplifier with 15kw of burst power, not a true 15kw RMS.

I read in one of the car audio mags that it was in....I dunno how..so dont yell at me for "passing on the info" but they explained that it could be more than 100% efficient...I KNOW...it doesnt make sence, but thats what it said.

 
The same frugal principal can be applied to my Ferrari metaphor. You can buy a Ferrari kit and get a ferrari engine and have a "Ferrari," but you don't have the intangible goodness of knowing you spent all that money to buy all this car. Think of the guy that can afford to buy this, and does, along with one sub to put it into. He doesn't "strap," he doesn't have to have to have a mile of wire in his car, etc. I'm sure you can find that guy...he spends a lotta cash.

It does, if you understand how the amplifier operates........though it's not really more than 100% efficient, it doesn't create it's own power.....it simply draws and dispenses the current at different than "typical" times, so there are points in it's operation that it's outputting more power than it's drawing from the electrical system (this is where they, IMO mistakenly, label it as "more than" 100% efficient). But it must replenish this power, hence you aren't really gaining any power in the long run...you're just redistributing it's consumption.

Basically, the amplifier has a huge, huge internal capacitance bank. This bank is used to store large amounts of current so that at times of high output, instead of drawing high peak current from the electrical system it draws the excess required current from it's own internal capacitor bank. However, after the large output subsides, the amplifier is still drawing high amounts of current due the fact that it must now replenish the current it used from the capacitor bank. Essentially all the amplifier is doing is trading off less peak current consumption for higher average current consumption, and due to the high amount of capacitance it severely limits how long it can actually output it's "rated continuous" power for to ~16 seconds (under favorable assumptions...basically best case scenario).

Good read, pay special attention to the posts by werewolf as he does a very good job of explaining and mathmatically proving the physics by which this amplifier operates:

i think you and werewolf should battle

anyways i would rather have 20 or so 20.1's

 
For $20k, it needs more LEDs.

Hell, how about a 20" LCD display.

On a more serious note, the thing that confuses me a little is that it only needs 1/0 AWG power wire. According to JMac's wire guide it would need atleast 4/0 AWG power wire to even be able to distribute half of this amp's "so-called" 15k watts.

 
I'd take one of these and a Parthenon and go around getting thrown out of every stereo competition I showed up at.
