Today we are changing it up a bit and testing a pro sound amplifier from Crown, the XLi 1500. This model is in the budget series of Crown amps and is rated to deliver:
330 watts x 2 at 8 ohms
450 watts x 2 at 4 ohms
900 watts x 1 bridged at 8 ohms
Let's take a closer look on the outside and inside as well as test on the SMD / D'Amore Engineering Amp Dyno

@OldManBadly 3 года назад

Most importantly, this type of amp is made for live music and the headroom is needed. Unlike car audio where the material being played is often quite compressed, live music is often way more dynamic and demanding. So the headroom is needed. You can also hear it when you listen to it at full volume, as it maintains a huge amount of headroom that car audio devices just don't have. Particularly noticeable on bass drum or floor tom drum, you will get a much deeper and rounder sound as the amp doesn't run out of current quicker than the sound itself dies.

@3stagevtec 3 года назад

I have one of these XLi1500 about 4 years now and it is still serving me well to this day. No reliability issues to mention and excellent audio quality on the output. Thanks for doing the dyno test on this amp, it felt good seeing those results!

Thnx 4 that, was looking at one of those to drive my 240TI jbls. Using Kenwood MB2A class A for now, but looking to bi-amp. External subs (2×15) from my playing rig to be added on, just move the Kenwood to them. Nothing worse than muddy bass on a pipe organ. I think...😂

@midlander3760 3 года назад

I would love to see you do more reviews of this type of amplifier, particularly inexpensive alternatives Crown. In addition to the power tests, reviews of these amps need to include a review of fan noise and is there any noise level when no signal is going through the amp. The reason is some folks like myself would like to use such an amp for home use where things are much quieter than in a DJ setting and many such amp reviews talk about excessive fan noise and or slight hiss during music silence which is just as critical as the power tests. Anyway, that's my 2 cent. Thanks for the review.

When I was younger we setup a local club with a serious sound system. 3 crown macrotech 5000's on the low end and 2 racks of Ashley MFA 8000's amps powering the mid / high end. Iirc we had 16 Mfa 8000's We had 32 600w rms 18" drivers in one room. I could gather people's incredulity but this was the real deal. We had air conditioners in the amp room to deal with the incredible heat from the amps. To say the system we put together was over 100,000 watts was an understatement.

@SoundSpectrum 3 года назад

I have the XLi 3500 and let me tell yea, one of the best amps for top end. Crystal clear with plenty of headroom. It's also worth noting this is an class A/B amp, so yea... it's HEAVY. Don't try putting this amp on an 4ohm load bridged, you will likely think your smelling your woofers cook but the amp will end up overheating shut off and not output any sound. (yes, i learned the hard way... twice). The fans are very quiet when idle and don't really ramp up until you really start pushing on it. LOVE these amps, and thank you for taking the time to review it. I use most of my PA amps for home theater.

@JoshM7 3 года назад

I have an inuke3000 but for low bass they don't put out much power long term I feel. My only gripe with Dyno tests is it doesn't show long term output after the amp heats up and the effects of 20Hz on the power output. My sub will get smelly if I play 40v for a while. That's 300-400w on my 4ohm Ultimax 18... Either the 18 can't take much power, or the amp is weak.

@@thompi8 Not sure what you mean. It's (My inuke3000DSP) designed to be bridged. The nu6000 is basically using bridged 3000's for each of its channels. And yes I use it bridged. 40v into 4 ohm is around 400w. Though that's assuming the impedance is a static 4 ohm, I believe it's closer to 5 ohm so 300-400w is more likely what it's getting.

Nice video big d. I have the 3500i. Excellent power and good sound quality. These are a great value and will make any speakers wake up and are leagues ahead for power compared to just receiver power. I have this running my 2 Rockford Fosgate power t1 12s in my bedroom. It rocks the house

This video hasn’t gained the interest of my normal vids, but I’ll keep testing them 👍

Thank you so much for creating and posting this video. I’ve been contemplating a Crown or QSC amp to power a car audio Diamond Audio TDX15 I’ve been using in my home theater for a few years. 1200-1500 watts RMS at 1 or 4 ohms (2ohm DVC) is difficult to power on 110volt equipment. One of the Crown amps may be my best option (albeit not this one due to not being 4 ohm bridged stable). At least the best that will not lead to my wife slowly poisoning my morning coffee. Thanks again!

I just bought one for my Gemini gsm 3500 1200 watt max speakers. It drives them incredibly well.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Pro Audio video! Been a 20 years and have always loved Crown Amps, but this one for the price is impressive. I would die to see a QSC GX7 review and get your thought on that badboy! Thank you!

That should be there motto. It's perfect. ✌️

@arcforceworld 3 года назад

I usually follow your channel pretty close. I cant believe I just now stumbled on this video. And so coincidental that I had just picked one of these amps up on the used market! At least now I know i got a good deal and then some.

@joshdobson2737 3 года назад

Brought me way back with the bicycle!! I had an 86 Schwinn Quarterflash, wish I still had all of the manufacturer catalogs from when my pops let me choose a bike!! ;)

@RayRayP2001 3 года назад

I have that XLi1500 x1 the XLi 2500 x1 and the XLi 800 x2. Those amps are really bulletproof. I was waiting to see the test to see if they were really legit on their numbers. Thanks for doing that particular model Williston Audio Labs. Nice Freestyle bike ,Reminds me of when I used to have a 20" Redline frame (chrome) back in the early 90's with a 5 piece Shimano crank, Shimano Araya wheels (both Araya blue), and a gt dyno seat and clamp(white). Man i loved bikes when i was a teen.

Cool ride Derek. Reminds me of the Pedals Ready GT, from back in my day. I lived and breathed for BMX.

Those old school bicycle designs reign supreme. My favorite all time are the 80-90s GT Performer.
