Anyone have the specs on this? found one for $325 in excellent shape. is it a common ground? good for sda's? thanks

I think it's 325 @ 8 ohms.

[engtaz]

350 @ 8 ohms. will not mono. I have used one with my 3.1TL's.

What did you think of it?

[zarrdoss]

This is it right? cannot find a whole lot of info on it

[NJPOLKER]

What did you think of it?

Have you gone over to the Carver site to read about it? It would probably be a good idea if you have not. I bet you have :)

I read about it on the Wikipedia sight, seems like a hell of an amp

[engtaz]

Great amp lots of power and sounds great. I would recommend it.

[engtaz]

That amps looks like it is in mint condition. Most have scratchs in the top were other equipment has been stacked on it.

[engtaz]

I belive it is. That's why I said earlier I was running it on my SDA SRS 3.1TL's. I had no problems.

[zarrdoss]

Duh, shows how much I am paying attention this morning, I really dont want to go to work today, ARG!

Thanks so much!

That is a very nice amp to have in your collection. Powers just about any speaker well.

Where did that info come from. Very interested.
Thanks

[Pinktulip7]

serial number 10,000+, Deal is the 1.5's went through a couple mod's during their production run and got sweeter sounding

[engtaz]

Where did you find that Info at. I would like to read the article or did you look thru the schematics.

Thanks

[treitz3]

Roy, it's in the service manuals, revisions and certain schematics. To answer your question, yes, it is a common ground amp.

[engtaz]

Thanks, but I went thru the Service manuals I could find and all the service updates were for all 1.5t's, no serial number limits. Both #1 and #2 bulletins. It would be cool to read more on this.

[treitz3]

Ah, I may have more than what you have. I do recall reading that somewhere in the archives though....I think it was in reference to the M1.5t. I could have sworn I mentioned this on a thread about two or three years ago as well.

[treitz3]

Actually, come to think of it....could it be the M1.0t we are thinking of? Damn, I'm getting old.....

[engtaz]

Getting old and having kids does that to you. LOL ROFLMAO.

[zarrdoss]

Well I did get it and pluged it in the outlet in the basement and the power went out, there is no power switch on it and all I have is a 15 amp breaker so it threw it. It did work fine at the guys house and I pluged it in upstairs and it works but dont have enough power for it in the basement dammit

Long shot. In your basement, are the circuits on a GFI? The 1.5 is about 3 amps at wide ass open.

[zarrdoss]

no gfi but it must pull a bunch on power up it takes a long time to drain after uppluging, and my lights are also on that same breaker.

[lightman1]

As with any high current amp. If you can, run a dedicated circuit to the rig. 20A minimum. Still don't know why it would throw a 15A breaker. It takes a lot to do that.

[treitz3]

If the filter caps are going bad, the surge to fill them will blow the breaker. This happened to me on a couple of 4.0t's as well. That may be the issue. Kill everything but the amp and the rig keeping just the minimum amount of lights and components necessary and try again.

[engtaz]

The breaker could be going also. How old is the breaker.

[zarrdoss]

the house is 3 years old and it powers up fine upstairs but it does have a hum to it, but dont know if thats just because all I had hooked up to it was an I-pod to test it out with some crappy connect cables. will do a real test latter tonight hooked up to my power conditioner and everything. I know this house has some elec. noise to it.
