Silver Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 111 Registered: Mar-06 | I'm about to buy a Diesel Audio Titanium N2 3000.1 Amp. I was wondering if that amp is as good as some say? I can hardly find any reviews or feedback on them. But if ANYONE can tell me something about this particular amp, PLEASE inform me. Thanks! DJ |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 1040 Registered: Mar-06 | I use to be a dealer for them. 5 year warranty is what got me to looking at them. They are ok, but I woul go with different amp if at all possible. Kevin |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 4768 Registered: Dec-05 | Kevin, since you had experience with them, do they put rated power or so? |

Silver Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 117 Registered: Mar-06 | Well, I ended up gettin' the amp. And I got it metered: after all the calculations were done, it came out to be 3100+ rms. My CVXs are now soundin' like there's about to POP any minute now. And the funny part is: My gain on my amp hasn't been touched yet. the amp is currently just runnin' off it's Bass Boost... So Music Mart Inc. told me I need to get 2 more. That amp is a MONSTER. $479.00 w/ 5 year warranty, that's DAMN GOOD! For right now, my opinion is that the Diesel Audio Titanium N2 3000.1 is EXCELLENT! |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 1055 Registered: Mar-06 | No they do not put out rated power. I'm sorry D.J., your amp does not do 3100 rms. The amp does an honest 1600 rms. They aren't too bad, they rate a peak. Actually, I bought a small Diesel setup to play with them mysef and put it in my girls sister's car. They are rated at peak, subs are crappy, and I actually had a tweeter catch on fire. So all in all, the amps are the best thing from them. I can still get their products if I wanted too haha. They call me every month begging me. Last one we installed for a cheap setup was the NSH-1600 and it over heated after 20 min of play. All in all, you would have been better off grabbing a RD 1750 or Sundown 1500D. Kevin Kevin |

Silver Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 121 Registered: Mar-06 | As for as mathematics goes... It doesn't lie. It's doin' WAY more than an honest 1600. I've have everything from a KX1200.1, SX1250.1, ZX1500, JBL GTO & JBL BP1200.1, Hifonics BX2000D, and a JL 1000/1... And it's outdoin' EVERY SINGLE ONE of THOSE! ... Matter of fact, my homie Ralo has a 07 Tahoe with 4 L7 15s semi-walled off runnin' 2 yellow top batteries, 300A alt., and a 2000A Batcap. Amp is a KX2500 ... I connected my amp to his setup, and he offered me 600 for it. and said keep the 2500.. Soo naw... You can't tell me that crap.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 48 Registered: Apr-07 | I'd still take the 2500. There wouldn't be much of an audible difference with a 600w gain, less than 1 db. Oh well, if you're happy with it good. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana DD 9515d~~]... Post Number: 5073 Registered: Mar-04 | DJ, I have never seen that amp and i'm not going to say weather or not it does 3100w. I just want to know how Music Mart tested the amp. Did they bring a multimeter out and check voltage and current? Did they have the DMM on peak-hold? OR Did they hook your amp to a dummy load and run a tone too it? Check it w/ an o-scope? I think i might take a trip to Music Mart and see how they are testing amps. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana DD 9515d~~]... Post Number: 5074 Registered: Mar-04 | Also, where did you get that amp? |
|
Silver Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 125 Registered: Mar-06 | Marshall - I replied to your question... They check my amp by bring out a " Muli-meter ".. I was gonna take a trip to your job and let YOU test it. Troy - There's nuttin' I could do w/ that 2500 but fry my friggin' Alternator! |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 4776 Registered: Dec-05 | D.J i think you should benchtest it and post results ok? |
|
Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 1061 Registered: Mar-06 | Take it to Canaan's shop and let him test it. I will GURANTEE and put $1000 right now on the line, that WILL NOT do 3000 rms. C'mon, I'll paypal $1000 to someone honest, and you too. Then, when Canaan does the test and proves me right, I will take your money and smile  << I'm not being an @ss about it, I'm just telling you the truth, I KNOW FOR A FACT. Kevin |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana DD 9515d~~]... Post Number: 5075 Registered: Mar-04 | I'm honest *cough* hey DJ, i'll split the cash w/ ya *cough* But if you really want it tested (with box rise taken into account) bring it buy...I too will use a multimeter (2 of them) and not use peak hold. I'm willing to bet $1000 to a donut that Music Mart had their meter on peak hold and ran a sweep or something and just took the highest #'s they saw. We started charging $10 an amp to test them though. We had a bunch of people coming to the shop wanting BS amps tested, we would test em like we were gonna pawn on them, then they would just leave and sell it to the buddy they brought w/ them...all they were doing was showing their buddy that the amp worked so they would buy it. |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 1065 Registered: Mar-06 | Nick is the owner. Decent guy, but of course he will tell you that. What he won't tell you is that peak ratings, or RMS at 16 volts. Canaan, when you test it, grab his $1K and send me $500, you keep other half Kevin |

Silver Member Username: Imperial_designsLafayette, Louisiana Post Number: 128 Registered: Oct-06 | DJ i'm in Lafayette.. i have 4 RD audio 1750s. i measured 2900 watts out a pair on 11.5 volts @ 3.7ohm... maybe we could do a drop in and see how they compare. if there that soild i might have a change of heart.... |

Gold Member Username: Its_bacon12Hfl, Ny Usa Post Number: 1239 Registered: Dec-03 | dj you are full of sh1t. what calculations are you talking about? and NO way youve had experience with all those amps, and NO way someone would trade a kx2500.1 for that diesel garbage. that amp in a car setting would be lucky to put out 1800w rms true power. probably maybe 1500w rms in your car because you most likely dont understand how the voltage can be affected by bass hits and how your electrical will drop to around 11 volts (which would be about 1/2-1/3 of 16v ratings) and no a cap wont fix that problem, only high output alternator and a solid battery. i just think ur totally full of crap. i used to be like you thinking my boss amp did its rated power. that was when i joined ecoustics in 2003 |

Silver Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 134 Registered: Mar-06 | And I'm glad you got rid of that problem... And yes, I have had experience with THAT many amps. I've buy and sold EVERY single 1... If you don't believe me, only thing I can say is come to Ruston, Louisiana and I'll take you to everyone that I'd sold an amp too. And it'll be 1 of those. And for your information... he's blown that KX2500 twice, so he pretty much hates it. ALSO! Yes, I do know about voltage, dropage, and increase of current... I'm a fukkin' Electrical Engineering major. KX1200.1 - Great, just gave out... SX1250.1 - Sucks TOO much Voltage... ZX1500 - I hate 2 ohm stable only amps... JBL GTO1201 - Same thing, I hate 2 ohm stable only amps... JBL BP1200.1 - Got stolen from me, including the ENTIRE car. BX2000D - GREAT! But sold it for $450, paid $200 brand new 1000/1 - Sold that too, 1.5-4 is not what it do! @ 1ohm it get TOO hot.. BUT ANYWAY! I'd like for you not to speak on what you really don't know. THANK YOU! Canaan - Sorry about this morning, I ended up puttin' 2 Eclipse SW6200s and 2 Eclipse SW7200s in my car today. It hits, but I need ALL Dual 2s.. They're Dual 4s wired to the amp @ 2ohms overall. ( Amp won't play @ .5 like the KX1200.1 ) |

Silver Member Username: Imperial_designsLafayette, Louisiana Post Number: 138 Registered: Oct-06 | DJ i have a pair of V1 alphas that would SMOKE those eclipse POS woofers... I'm asking 350 shipped for the pair.. that amp should power them nicely.. they hit pretty damn hard off a friends T1500..they have about an hour of play on them... |

Silver Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 135 Registered: Mar-06 | I've heard of them... But i've never seen 1 perform. |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 1084 Registered: Mar-06 | Go meet up with Joel. Let him show you a little real equipment bud. He will also test your amp for ya. Grab some of his Alphas so he can upgrade to 18's hahaha. Kevin |
