Does this lag your engine a bit while using and driving?(I'm running a 3.0 V6) and will this have enough to power a 15inch Laptop + a pair of speakers

I did not notice a lag in the engine, but you will most definitely not be able to power a laptop (any kind for that matter) in addition to a pair of speakers. Not enough voltage can be supplied by this specific product. Try the 300 (or more) Volt alternator that this company makes, though. That should work nicely for your purposes.

I would have to say no. I strongly doubt it could power any of it. I tried to power a curling iron and small electric coffee pot. Got zilch to work. Tried them seperately. Still nothing

We use it in my wife's four cylinder with no problems having a laptop and two cell phones charging

It has not effected the performance of the car (I have a V6 as well but its a 3.8) as far as I have noticed and my husband has had his macbook plugged in along with charging his phone while I drove.

We used it on a 4 cylinder car & it was fine. We now have a V6 & still no problems. While we drive, we use it to run a DVD player, plus charge an iPhone & an itouch at the same time. You should be fine using it for the laptop & speakers.

I haven't noticed any effect on my engine. Yes I think it would be ok. We used our 15" laptop while playing DVDs and charging 2 iPhones at once.

No problem! We had a laptop, phone, dvd player, and a DS plugged in all at once for about.1500miles. No issues!

The amount of power draw it will have from the engine can be roughly compared to that of the headlights of your car. You'll never notice.

Don't put too much into the power rating. If the listening room is moderatly sized, and you are a serius listener, I don't tink you will be disappointed. Mine is driving my Amphion argon 2 speakers (85db/w) perfectly fine.

It is a decent amp for the money. It is most likely over-rated in power specs. but what is there is clean. I would advise that you buy better speakers though ... get the best co-axial that fits in your budget. 3 way in a car is not necessary - higher quality 2 way is better.

That's chillin'. I'm running mine at 420watts at 2ohm. There is a general consensus that powering any speaker at 80% will ensure longevity and durability.

It depends on your settings. I personally wouldn't run that much power to a single speaker of this class. I bought a T500-1bdCP which is rated at 500, but the birth sheet says 811. I burned one up. The installer didn't set the crossover settings on the amp and had the gain too high. After setting the amp correctly I've replaced the speaker and haven't had any trouble since.I do have the same box and subs, but with two speakers in my suv which can handle that load much better.

Sorry and yes it will do it safely just tune it to the sound that you're looking for just not to the point of where you know it's going to cause or is causing damage to your speakers. I look at a amp like a car just cause it has 85 or 120 on the dash doesn't mean I have to drive it that fast or hard. Hopefully this helps you.

Well to answer your question, I run 2 15" JBL Audio's with a 1600 Watt Power Acoustik Amp at 600 Watt RMS and it runs fine.

Don't listen to these overrated "you need at least 100W". These are very efficient speakers at 93db/W, and they don't need that much power (which is the point of efficient speakers) - at 22W @ 93db efficicency produces about same amount of sound as 60W at 88db efficiency (most people don't even look at efficiency values). They were plenty loud in my miata with a 22WRMS/ch head unit. I've also had kappas in a different vehicle with 50Wrmsx4 amp. They'll benefit from more power (not so much volume, but clearness when cranked), but not as much as other's are trying to make you believe.

It's gonna be too little. I have a 2200 kenwood d block amp on it at the momont and it knocks that off. So you may need more power then that
1907209
Yes. And it will not compensate on its own, But it is far better to have more power than not enough. You will blow a speaker faster by under powering than over powering. Less power =more distortion at volume =unhappy speaker. Hope this helps.

yes it does very much. I bought it specifically for that after having deleted my muffler. If you have room, put them two. Will be super quiet with lots of power.

It's not necessarily bad for the amplifier, but keep in mind that it may make a slight buzz or hum while it's on. The power consumption of it while idle is very little. Though you should keep in mind that power fluctuations may damage the components if it's left on. Go for it.

Well, I have the 6.2L engine in a half ton quad cab with 33" tires and it gave me a very noticeable amount of power. Approximately 25hp but with that and the change in shift intervals it hauls the mail and pulls like a son of a gun. Only thing I have to say is make sure that you place a jump pack on your battery or a battery charger while it uploads the tune. If the voltage drops too low at any time some files will be corrupted, causing nothing to work properly. This happened to me and I had to reflash the PCM at the dealership after towing it in cause the computer was all jacked up. As long as you give the battery extra juice you'll have no problem and customer service from edge is great.

Hi Mark,I've had this for 6 months now, I drive pretty fast all the time and haven't noticed much of a difference with fuel efficiency, but you can feel a difference in the power, and the sound is great.

Has fan, very noisy, drove 18hrs and no problem ( have it at 2 ohms)not a true 1500 but it is good power for the money

Its sounds great. But it's always better better with 1000watts or more. Mines is only 800watts. The dash radio plays an important role aswell as the amplifier. My amp is 3000watt and i have all 4 car speakers 250w each and 2 subs at 800w each all connected on my 5 channel amp.

will power to max capacity of speakers. 15 watts clean with bigger power-supply. Not going to Rock a night club but more then enough for casual listening.
