@HammerBack0 /02 nice! Which Trauma Concussion amp did you get? That is one amp that I have never heard a single person say anything bad about! I have a Trauma Concussion Series 3k myself. I done like you said you did, I bought it right after I saw Big D do the dyno vid of the smaller Trauma (thinking he tested the Concussion 2k amp in that video, correct me if I'm wrong). I've been thinking about buying one of the 4 channel Trauma amps. I think Steve at Amp Meds done a GREAT job on the Trauma amps BUT I wish he'd atleast added a clip light on the bass remote! 😔

People give Taramps a lot of gripe but I love that they exist as they provide lots of power for affordable prices. Once upon a time you had to pay almost $4K just to get 8K watts, but thanks to Taramps you can get that kind of power for like $600! That’s a great advancement in technology lol

I actually bought an 8k just to run my dual 4ohm single 12" (roughly 3ohm after rise) for the efficiency. It was cool to play around with even being able to run the sub coils in series with that much power available. Although I was using 3kw rms class AB before, I thought I'd try out not only having more power on tap, but at roughly the same power draw. My personal downside was the SQ degraded noticeably.

Taramps makes a MD3k in a 4ohm version that make 3000 RMS @ 4ohms. They also have a 1ohm and 2 ohm version of that amp. They might have a 4 ohm of the MD8k I'm not sure. But I've done what you're describing in the past of running an amp at 4ohm until I got a 2nd sub then running at 2ohm and doubling the power by halving the resistance.

Thanks for another great video Big D! I didn't even realize Taramps had changed the MD8000 amp... I do like the 4v RCA but do not care as much for the rated power being at 14.4v like their BASS line. Lots of Taramps users loved the MD line and the Smart3 & Smart5 amps due to them making rated power at 12.6v. I Personally have a Smart3 and a MD8000.1 that I bought a long time ago after seeing your reviews. Thanks for the knowledge & info you put out for the community.

My brother had a 250 HCCA I bought it for him as a present. I believe it's still around somewhere. I really like that old crossover the 30 DB LP. But it uses the five pin for the phantom power you know. I guess I could still use it if I could take one of the cables and convert it to RCA or something.

I clamped 2800 watts last season. My build is cool but I knew it had more in it. Went out last week and played around. Went to a show this weekend and in the lanes I clamped over 8700 watts out of one amp. Talk about a Super Happy Basshead. I plan on keeping the amps but I will have to address the pressure inside the cabin now. Keep up the great work with the videos I love and appreciate them.

I just recently went from the smart 3k to a md 8k and it is the normal md so no dual inputs. How ever I use shca dual 1/0 inputs and they work great! Love all my taramps product. I have 2 smart 3ks, a md12k, and md8k. Ive had some of these amps for a number of years and they all work flawlessly!

Who would have thought that Taramps would improve so much, I remember that 10 or 12 years ago, this manufacturer did not deliver what it promised, not even at 60hz let alone 40hz. That's why their audience ended up being just electric trio (systems that play loud, above 50hz). In fact, no Brazilian manufacturer had decent amplifiers for low bass at that time, but this reality has changed, it remains to improve efficiency, I believe they will!

Yes, I would run an 8,000 watt amp to my subs. I have a pair of Digital Designs supercharged 9500K 10" subs with ESP and the amp would be perfect for it. The subs are rated for 2,000 watts RMS and bursts of 8,000 watts but I believe the 2,000 RMS rating is super conservative. I have given them 2, 500 watts RMS and they could have taken way more power than that, I would be happy giving them 4,000 watts each but I need to switch to LTO batteries because it would take way too many AGM batteries to power the amp.

But I was gonna run one Hutchinson Audio neodymium ndfeb-18 in a custom 6th order (with battery bank) or a Deaf Bonce Apocalypse db4518 on the HCCA 3000 or a Salt 4. With this amp I could run two subs, but box volume would be too much, would have to scale back to 15s or 12s.

Crazy how much good quality wattage you can buy now days for so little money. I remember back in the early 2000s, you couldn't get an 8K amp or even anything near that for $450-600. You'd be lucky to find a good 1500 watt amp for that as I recall. But I guess that was probably pre-class-D or when Class-D was brand new technology so... I guess it makes sense that amps were so much more expensive then.

When you hook it up to the 4 speakers in the kicker box, if each speaker is one ohm resistance, isnt that 4 ohms if in series or 1 ohm 4 channel if ran parallel? Being that you cant run 4 channels on a 1 channel amp then thst setup is only for 4 ohm right?
