well thanks to you guys im selling my audiobahn subs and buying some better ones. lol I had one question though, i know everybody hates audiobahn but i bought the 1500hct amp for 200 bucks. i see it on the internet retailing anywhere from 500-900 dollars, the only thing i have heard bad about them is that they need a lot of power. Could i still have a pretty respectable setup with this amp and maybe two eclipse subs? It says it puts out 2000 rms, do you guys think its overated? thanks for the input |

Do not run the amp at 1/2ohms. You will blow it.
Unlike human body that gets stronger, electronic components die instantly when pushed past it's limit and will not recover. |

The A1500HCT is a great amp ...Audiobahn subs are questionable but i would say that the A1500HCT amp will put out atleast 1900rms at 1 ohm an after losses (which are always present ) i would say youre in the 1850rms Ball park in the end |

Hold up it might even put out 1950rms because ive had the a2300hct amp tested an it put out 2300rms at 1 ohm mono which is 100rms lower then what it claims to be capable of but since the A1500HCT is a class D amp it might even be less off then what it claims |
