12,000 Watts? Testing the Soundigital Evo 12000.1D Through the NEW SMD QR-1 Neo Magnet Terminals

[@meade916]

peep some of the changes i made to the QR-1 (and the new QR-2) here. Also, remember, EVERYTHING we make a the shop (all fuse holders, distro bars, speaker terminals etc) can be done in multiple color combo's including the white base/neon top like shown in this video. Sky's the limit on what we can do! I can even put your company logo on it. Everything we have ever made is 1000% improved over previous models! we are getting better at this! :) HDPE Playboard baseplates (available in 4 colors red, blue, black, and white) is almost indestructible and with a nice acrylic topper it is now on another level. Visit www.wccaraudio.com (new stuff will be added this week)

[@caccac8839]

Thx for showing the mirrors and the candles on Instagram. Watched this couple times for ya bro thx!

[@jasonghering4389]

Can one of those quick release handle my taramps md8k no problem. I called your shop the other day to get info on your speaker terminals and order one lol. I know your insanely busy all the time. I love the black/blue one. I'm gonna order that one.

[@mikemccabe7124]

Sorry for your loss.. I just lost my queensland scout this past year and my oldest and favorite dog buddy that has a similar story as ur beautiful husky has been by my side for a real long time and is getting old in age and starting to show it which has taught me alot in how not to take it for granted because everyday I have with him I'm extra thankful and truely blessed once again sorry for your loss it's never easy

[@williamhudson1751]

Imperior amplifier

[@mase7207]

what happened with the 20k?

[@meade916]

I am planning on TORTURING the new terminals till they fail (if i can get them too) before i re-rate them officially. The new design is really working well! they had a major upgrade which allows a lot more juice to flow and the idea is proving itself! The new pull strap makes it easier to remove too. I will probably go live on my instagram channel during some of the testing so follow me there for midweek live streaming! instagram.com/meade916 thanks for watching!

[@meade916]

NOTE** any buzzing you hear in this video is NOT the amp! It is the POWER SUPPLY! that thing is annoying. I need to find an isolated spot to put it so i don't have to hear that...for now though i will just deal with it

Thanks for this test that amp is a beast. I have been curious if dual feeds made anymore power. Your test shows yes it does but not 100s of watts. I been wondering about running dual 0 ga to my amp but looks like I'm not loosing a ton of power with one run. Thanks. Those terminals really held up well. Looking forward to next one as always.

[@greengooseman]

your magnets are cool. COuld the magnet side accidentally stick to car metal and short the amp? *If im understanding it correctly.)

[@meade916]

No, because the magnets are recessed on the plug side.

Of course it will do rated. SD and Stetsom's big amps do every bit of their rated. Stetsom will do rated in the 12Vs.
