Digital Designs M2000 specs…

[@brandonbridge592]

That is a good looking amp. And you can't beat the performance for 150$ more. Nice upgrade brother!

[@RaYhEnRiX]

I wouldn’t consider a Fosgate a Honda lol!! Im guessing this bad boy makes all of its power at 2 and 1 ohmn as well!!

[@abelscaliber7969]

No it doesn’t Rated 1300rms @2ohm @14.4V Compared to the 2000rms @1 ohm Where as kicker,RF JL and other brands make them 1 & 2 ohm JL being 1.5-4ohm rated the same but that’s a whole different topic

[@scottgaskin8574]

DD for the win baby, they right down the street here in the 405 ,love my DD equipment. Hope you like it.

[@grandam]

I've been rocking DD since 2000 and NEVER had an issue.

[@cjon24s69]

DD doesnt say if the S/N ratio of >97db is at 1 watt or rated power, most likey rated power, the T1500BDCP S/N ratio is >100db at rated power and >80db at 1 watt.

[@20hztremor]

Slew rate, thd and such like you mentioned are forgotten important specs today unfortunately. Everyone just wants big power. DD amps are great amps may not still be as popular as RF, but their products are top notch. Few companies today make quality non cookie cutter products. You pay for what you get

[@joshholden8561]

And dampening factor is a good quality to have in a amp hier dampening the more control u have over ur sub

[@JAM-ur8tj]

So DD is the one! Definitely let us know if you notice a difference in sound quality, performance, and whatever else you notice a difference on.

[@go-getter796]

That's a really badass amp ,that's gonna definitely shakea vehicle with those sub box you built .. but... if you like that dd 2000 you will definitely love the mmats and orion monoblocks.. if it's a 2000 watts orion you're gonna get almost 3000 ..

[@travisabrahamson5092]

My powerbass xma-1205d has a signal to noise ratio of 100db and thd of less than 0.4%. The only problem is I cant find the damping rating anywhere. It just says high damping....

[@Mario_11]

Lmao bro the sell out is insane

[@rockfordhx2768]

Quick question running some old setups is 1 12 inch mtx 9500 rated 1000rms better then having 2 Rockford 12 inch punch hx2 rated 500 rms a piece but together equal 1000rms my point in question is what’s louder and will hit harder 1 12 1000rms or 2 12s 1000rms total together

[@JMZAUDIO]

If we compare them to there manufacture recommended boxes, The 2 subs will sound louder away from tuning because of increased cone area, but the single 12 will absolutely sound louder at tuning. If the 2 12s box is made efficient then it will blow the single 12 at the same power. It all comes down to the box!
