Less than rated by 1/2

Crutchfield customer from Roswell, GA on 10/23/2021

40 to 48 amps continous is what the max output is. I have a meter and have tested it under many conditions. Never seen it above 48. It works well, I just wish things were properly rated. Simply can not leave a good review on a product that misinforms its customers. Also puts some noise into the system when charging.

Pros: Seems quality

Cons: 45 amps continuous is it.

Once we saw this review, our Tech Support specialist, AJ, reached out to this customer to help him further. We'll either help him get the power supply working the way it should or help him return it for an exchange or refund.

Crutchfield customer from Cypress, TX on 3/22/2020

Runs a 75rms 5 channel Kenwood amp with 4 6x9s, an equalizer, Bluetooth receiver, and 1200rms kicker mono amp pushing 2 Comp Rs without any trouble. Voltage regulates at higher volume when the subs hit a little much and was cutting my Kenwood amp off, but I added a capacitor and it's all fixed now. Very happy with it for sure

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
