wanted to do a customer review on the ct sounds 1400.1 don't let the 1400w rating on the box fool you! that's a 12volt rating. even then it still does over 1500w rms at 12volts. at 14volts this amp has a dynamic rating of 2400w at 1ohm. the beauty of this amp is it's .5ohm stable and can be ran at 16volts. so this amp can push over 3000w (not bad for a Lil 1400w amp huh?) i use to be a JL guy, when i didn't know any better! i use to dream of owning a jl 1000/1 v2 in fact i use to have 2 500/1 v2s and was planning on a third. well i was talked into selling them and buying a ct 1400.1. i can't begin to say how happy i am that i did! not only does this amp slam all over Them, but it's nicer looking, more efficient, more versatile, but the bass knob! oh my! unlike most that add boost this knob controls the volume of the bass. it also shows if your clipping. it's almost dead on with a ddm, oscope and very close to a dd1. the knob also shows voltage which is awesome. i fell in love with ct After this amp! i love it so much i bought a ct 60.4 for my comps (again that's the 12volt rating) closer to 120w rms) not only did i love the 60.4 as much as the 1400.1 but its so clean and powerful! not to mention my electrical didn't even notice sucking power. After having those two amps and falling in love with the second to none quality i decided to do a complete ct sounds system. i just ordered my second 1400.1 and a exo 15. that monster is 3,000w rms! with no max rating for burps. i will be placing a order for the meso Comps for my front stage and my ct 0g ofc wiring kit. ct also makes great sound deadning there a young company with a young owner. thanks for reading guys.  my amps are my avatar |

if i had a good box you'd.be much more impressed! i can't stress enough how much that box chokes my gear! Harlan or whatever it is said that rs don't get low. that hurt my feelings! if only.i could have fit.my Durango box in my grand prix i could have shown you guys what this amp and the Subs really have! not sure why the link didn't work right. click the pick and you should be able to watch the vid  |

Interesting tid bit, Steve had a DD m3b and traded it for a different setup which was 2-CT 1400's to strap....he got more power from his DD m3b and was louder. Ask him about it, I'm sure he would be happy to chime in. I know the ct 1400's are good amps. But a single amp will never make 1800-2000rms of usable power. Let alone 3000 watts even at 16v, simply put the internals of a 1400 are close to other 1500's and smaller sized 2k amps. I mean really, you can't believe a single ct1400.1 would even come close to 3k bc my DD m4 was rated at 3200rms @1ohm 11.9v. Check out the. Difference in internals. M4 has tripple that of the ct1400. But the m4 is well over 1,000$ retail....but who pays that lol I know you see things with the whole dynamic power and such....but I'm a realist...us heavy gear users don't care about what's rated...I care about what I'm actually getting with in car results. My DD m4 clamped 4240rms at 13.2v wired to .5ohm rising to 1.6ohms Meaning m4 amp is very under rated. We should clamp one of ur 1400's....you would be shocked and maybe even disapointed. I was amazed my crescendo 2000d at .5ohm was only giving me 1700rms on solid electrical, then strapped barely 3k!!! People think bc the amp advertises 2250rms that means they will get more...or even doubled up thinking they will get 4500+ and fact is....it's not even close. Trust me I have been very surprised and disappointed also lol but....I was doing almost 147's on music with a single 2k and one 18...that's impressive  |

I concur with Damon ...... I did trade my m3b for 2 ct 1400.1s . They are indeed nice little amps ..... Love the white casing and the clear plexi bottom showing the internals ...... But my favorite feature was the remote know with built in vm and on off switch!!! However i must admit i didnt own amps very long and went back to a new m3b in no time. I ran mine strapped each amp seeing 1 ohm .. I definately lost power from my m3b at 1 ohm. M3b was much louder to ear .... Dont know about clamp or meter differences as didnt clamp or meter either options but i got a better result from the single m3b than i did the 2 1400s strapped. Also another point i found i was a fan of was that even though i had all controls off on slave amp and all setting were used on master i was only able to turn off amp with remote knob for master amp....... Slave still turned on and off with power of deck ..... Not a big deal i guess but whats the point of having that knifty littlefeature but it only working for one amp...... Damon ... I think the biggest thing people over look is the fact of box rise ....... Just cuz someone wires the sub or subs to 1 ohm or .5 ohm .... Doesnt mean those amps are gonna put out the rated power of that ohm load ...... U and i know what a bitch box rise can be ...... Wiring to 1 ohm but dealing with box rise knocking back up to like 4 ohm ! If we wire to 1 ohm very rarely does amp actually see a real one ohm load as it continuosly bounces up and down on misic ...... But im sure most of us already know this lol .......... Anyway although i do think the ct's are nice amps i definatley think my choice to go back to another single m3b is better .

I'm just hoping i get a solid 3k with both together. don't really want to over power the sub( even tho its a beast) i really just want a system that is sill musical while being impressive. not to mention very nice to look at. considering both amps only cost Me $700 and i can get 3k out of them i have no complaints!
I'm not chasing numbers or going for pure spl. plus i don't have all the room in the world to support a 5k system. and i have my son in my car everyday.
I'm looking for a perfect balance of musical/Loud/ and looks.
with what i have and my plans for the layout i think I'm.gonna nail.it!

I'd expect you to get about 2200 watts max out of strapping them... especially on your electrical. sorrynotsorry

'll get more then 2200 out of both of them. allot more then that.
I'll have a 275amp alt with one of the baddest bats around. and 2 decent amgs to back it up. one does 1800w @ 1ohm I'm sure adding another and having both at .5 will.give me more then 400w man. box rise or not I'll giet more then 400
in a perfect world @1 ohm each amp is 1800w x2 so 3600 to think I'm gonna loose 1400w because of box rise... no just no. and that's not dropping them to .5ohm i heard someone clamped one at .5 and got just Over 2000w from it. think it was 2056w thatsin a car on a sub. so no way am i gonna get 22002 outof both Amps. maybe stock yea but i don't need to worry about that ; )

My old Crescendo bc2000d would walk all over the ct1400.1 power wise...And as I said in my other post...I got about 1600rms of clean usable power at 14v. Just bc someone "says" they clamps over 2k I don't believe it unless it's proven bc dude I CLAMP amps the real results not just some saying "Oh I got over 2000 watts from my 1400" it's not guna happen. Don't misunderstand me....I'm not bashing, I'm trying to tell you that you will be lucky to get 1200rms per amp...2400total...I know you already think what you think. But I've got a better idea, let's clamp them when ur setup Is all done and together  you will be unpleasantly surprised in how much power you think you have but really don't have. Gotta trust me bro, I've been doin this shit for 15+ years...I've got an idea. BOX RISE IS KILLER BRO! |

Here is a video Of Coleman clamping a ct1400.1 on a 16v spl setup with a wall of subs and massive battery bank and super caps. 1800rms on a 16v system so just to give you an idea....you will never get ur 1400rms from ur 1400 even on solid electrical. m.youtube.com/watch?v=N6AA1etcDbk |

Steve Meade did a dyno on this same amp and got 2400 watts at 14 volts so Ikd what all you haters are smokin. Look on YouTube for it.

Lol its not haters, you obviously dont know much about audio if you actually believe a YouTube video on an amp dyno. They dont imitate a real world application of what an amp will do in a vehicle. Its done on a machine thats set up on either a 14v or 16v battery system without an actual reactive load. So take your "haters be hating" attitude elsewhere . Point blank, the amp does 1800rms at .5ohm on a 16v system as shown in the video i posted....it will never touch close to 2k. End of story. Besides the fact they are the most unreliable amps that have been released in quite some time. But thats none of my business |
