My point was sort of that Rockford actually designs their own circuits so you can imagine why they are expensive. Sundown on the other hand just picks out an amp from a Korean build house and they slap their name on it. There are a number of circuit designs that get used over and over by different companies. It seems like for not that much money anyone can have their own amps. So to me almost $800 for this 2500 watt amp is insane. If I learned this after I bought this amp I would feel ripped off

    Considering that the ratings exceeded about 10 to 15%. That's about the same amount of voltage that is increased during the test. So it is likely that the amplifier might just barely meet rated power. But we will never know because the guy who does the test didn't test it for what the product claims to be tested at.

This is crammed into a ‘95 Silverado. It sounds amazing, but doesn’t hit quite as hard as I imagined. Mid 130’s measured with an iPhone. Used properly designed sealed enclosures to save space. Again, sounds amazing, just doesn’t hit like I envisioned when designing the system. I should also say this is a brand new build. I’m rechecking wiring. Did everything right, metered ohms and all. Mechman alternator, running an extra optima battery. Big 3 done, still need to double check all the ground to frame connections. Maybe some rust or corrosion causing a bad ground somewhere. I was expecting at least in the 140’s

    I may have to try something else. It’s just this is an obs hotrod build, not specifically a comp stereo build. I’ve seen amp dyno vids of these amps pushing rated rms all day. Last hotrod truck I built like this one, I had 1 kicker solobaric 12d on a kenwood excelon 1600 watt amp, it hit low 140’s. With one 12” sub. SQ wise, it’s great. Just something ain’t quite right. Like I said earlier, I’ve got to recheck some grounds. I’d hate to spend another grand or two then find a bad ground connection

    On the bass knob, does it keep producing, like a clean sweep? Or does it max out at the 1/2 way point? I’ve noticed on some Bass knobs supplied by the manufacturer and even in the ones that go online with the RCA’s that right about the 1/2 way, that’s it. It doesn’t go any louder. Even testing it at low volume you can hear it doesn’t get any louder.

    14.4 is normal voltage. So below that, 12 volts maybe? This amp seems to be designed for someone who doesn’t want to do any electrical upgrades but if you can afford an $800 amp, buying some agm’s and a high output alternator shouldn’t be a big issue. Also doing the big 3 of course

    I just picked up a Crescendo Symphony S1 plus. I really wish somebody would bench it, nobody seems to have done it on KZread yet. Down4Sound has them.... maybe he'll send you one. The S1 and the S1 plus are pretty new amps(2018?) and also Korean made. The S1 plus is rated higher than the Salt 2 In this video and is only 500 bucks.Regular S1 is 250 or so. The owner of crescendo told me that the Symphony S1 pLus is one of their most underrated amps and puts out 3200w @1ohm instead of the rated 2500w. I would like to know if that's true. He also told me it does 2000w @2ohm and that's what I'm gonna run it at for a while. Not only is it more powerful but it's smaller than the salt as well.

    I realize a dyno is totally different, but I’ve ran a salt 8 at .17 on speakers. 3 zv5 15’s D1 all 6 coils in parallel. Clamped over 12k at 33 hz. Did have to roll into some stuff or it would protect, and it got very warm. Electrical was solid. 300ah limitless lithium, 400 amp alt staying above 14 volts for roughly 1 minute demos. Eventually popped 4 mosfets. At .5-.67 on speakers I’ve never had a problem with a salt amp. Very nice line of amps. Expensive, but IMO worth it. Especially if you only have 13-14 volts.

F.ex: the sub could handle 1000 watt rms, so i got a decent amp and gear to push the sub to its "limits"). What are those 4 kicker subs you are testing with at the end? I get it, 4 subs at f.ex 10 inch has more surface than one 12 inch, but... some more info on this would be great. As space is at a premium in a car. I would prefere one very good sub, in my case.
