Posted May 27, 201312 yr Going to use it to power an RE audio 15" SE-X subwoofer. wondering did I make a mistake with this amp? Or are people saying good things about them still? For now, the sub will be seeing 2 cubic feet sealed, as I am currently in a budget crunch and don't want to shell the cash to build a different enclosure (this is also the reason for the amp choice, was price point).
May 27, 201312 yr if you're on a budget its best to buy used. but otherwise its probably fine. most stock alts cant power a larger amp if you're worried about that kind of thing.
May 28, 201312 yr Precision Power makes decent amps. People need to quit knocking them so much. You can definitely find a better woofer brother.
May 28, 201312 yr Author the sub does exactly what I need it to do, and I have had it for a couple of years without ever hooking it up, so I'm not about to sell it for something else. I got it all hooked up today, and have to say I am thoroughly impressed overall with the ability of both together. Definitely pleased. Just had got a little nervous about the amp, when I did a little more looking past the few reviews that I could find to who owns Precision Power nowadays and realized it was Power Akoustik whose gear I have not been impressed with in a long time (used to work at a shop that carried their stuff and installed quite a bit of it). That is all. So far the amp seems to have plenty of power on tap, not the horribly overrated specs that I've seen on a lot of power akoustic amps.
May 31, 201312 yr Author Well, as an update, still loving this amp so far. Just have it hooked up at 2 ohms for 600 watts right now, and it really gets the sex 15 moving in a sealed enclosure. Have not had any hiccups.On a side note, I now need to come up with ideas on how to stop the rear hatch on my x-trail from sounding like I'm shaking a spray can, damn it's bad.I miss my s-10 that I had the panels deadened on...
