    I don't like exaggerated specs and I'm thankful for you guys testing and showing the truth of the products, NOT the fake max # . Your efforts allow me to know what I'm getting for real and that's how I can build budget systems that sound top tier . Thank you

    I have 2 of these amps in my wrangler right now, pushing 4 ds18 6.5's, 4 ds18 3in tweeters, and 2 ds18 horns. It surely gets loud, however, the amps like to get hot at 2ohms. Ive had to add a lot of fans to keep them running. That being said, they are coming out in the next week or so as I upgrade to better amps. I simply used these to prove that you dont have to go broke to be loud. Which ive pushed 112.6Db with this setup and 2 kicker 10's, 2kicker 12's and 2 planet audio mono block 1500w amps. Again, this was simply to show some local guys who spend a lot on gear and have them poorly installed, that all the money in the world isnt going to make you loud with stuff that isnt properly setup. I am happy with 112Db using Planet audio amps. If you choose PA amps, just be sure to have them well ventilated, or add in a bunch of fans to draw that heat away.

    I use to have those sony book shelfs. I had the full set towers, books,center. I liked them but crossed them at 120 and used a velodyne 10in sub. Yamaha receiver. All that stuff got ruined in a flood unfortunately.

    I'm running two planet audio 15 inch anarchy subs with a properly adjusted power acoustik rz1-2500 mono amp in my 33hz tuned 6"ported 2.95 cu.ft.net. each chamber enclosure and its brains over brand , it sounds Great and slams ! clean and deep on ALL genres. I don't expect 2500 watts but 700 watts rms at Wal-Mart $100 . Thank you dyno tester truth tellers!

    The decimal is in the wrong spot it's supposed to be 160.04w max. I can say those a/b planet audio amps are tough, I had a TRQ1500 years ago and it would not die, it would slide out from under the seat and I would kick it back under with my heel, it got water,coffee mud dust it would not croak, that was the one that had two 3/4" steel rods for length of the amp hidden in the heat sink now that's cheesy.

    I've got the 1500 watt took it apart and has basically the same opponents as the really old school pyramid amplifiers if so it is really horrible to rework a pyramid and put a new sticker on it I know these things because I still have new transistors to replace the ones that this amplifier has from a repair on a pyramid way back in the day

    I'm not trying to sound like a total beginner but, for fun last year I bought the 8 inch anarchy sub and that thing genuinely surprised me. Not because it sounded good or had good musical quality but it handled a good amount of power. I think it's actual rating is like 150 watts RMS and I threw around 400 watts to it. Eventually I killed it putting 700 to it, but it took the abuse like a champ.

      @StickMan Productions It's just something about the cheap subs they just take alot of power. I had a rear loaded horn enclosure tuned to 42hz as an experiment and I would just play 20hz test tones full tilt to the sub and it would take it
