Amplifier is the most integral part of your System !

[@lstephenson247]

To sum it up you get what pay for. RF is one the few companies that hasn't fell off and still make high quality amps as they did back in the 90s. Anyone over 35 know what I'm talking bout.

[@matt6951]

Kicker, alpine, could also be interchangeable in your statement and still be true.

[@justforlaughs8988]

I do love the Rockford fosgate power series amplifiers they have amazing filtering and they are not cheap but worth it if you got the dollar another amplifier that I would highly recommend that is budget friendly and produces amazing power with amazing filtering is the Orion hcca 3000.1 d splx it's incredibly efficient and it's not a cookie cutter the engineer their own amplifiers just like Rockford fosgate that 3,000 w amplifier is capable of clamping 8,500 Watts and the awesome thing is it does it's rated power at 12.6 volts not 13.8 or 14.4

[@justforlaughs8988]

Oh the Orion hcca 3000.1dsplx is 600 bucks and lifetime warranty on all parts and labor that amplifier will clamp 8,500 Watts RMS given that 16 volts and wired at 0.5 so after impedance rise it's one ohm but for the money and the quality Orion HCCA amplifiers are the best of the best

Yo brotha, I was wondering if you can make a video of you teaching us how to tune the bass amplifiers/ voice amplifiers. Like what frequency to have your subsonic, LPF and gain at. Kinda like the video you posted earlier about showing us how to tune epicenter. Also it’ll be a good video if you can show us how to tune our head unit and teach us how to tune using a cheap $50 oscilloscope and stuff on our amps and head units. Overall great video man 😎🔥

Back to this video, I think there is a competitor for that RF 1500.1, the alpine pdx-M12. supposedly has a high dampening factor also.

[@dragocat1]

Been in this game a long time. I'm 60 years old.The truth you speak also applies to PRO audio. Crown is the only Pro amp to hold up to the heat of live music. I now have a JBL made by crown in my Toyota Highlander . Used it with SUNDOWN,DIGITAL DESIGNS and more. Now I have a modest system with two Solo Classic tens they are ten plus years old. Small sealed, And it is as clean and punchy as anything I have ever heard! I am no stranger to the old school type AB Rockford fosgates either. love it even at my age. (I'm a drummer and sound engineer and know what a kick drum should sound like).

[@imdbtruth]

MB, you never mention Alpine along with JL, Kicker, Rockford, and even Orion... But Alpine makes some damn fine amplifiers as well. I run an old school MRX-M240, and I have many other options.

[@AJ-od7mv]

Man I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I'm just a regular blue collar guy who like a lil bump to the sound, nothing crazy, but good clean bass. That being said, I'm a complete novice at picking out audio components. I want something small to keep space, something like two 6.5s or two 8s. I'd like a couple or mean 8s with all the power they need, but I have no idea how far down the rabbit hole I need to go. From electrical to amp and sub, I need help picking out good components and your videos are super helpful bro I appreciate your work. 🤙

[@ryjai4228]

Agree to an extent. platter of variables that must be accounted for regarding this subject. Proper amplification cant perform at optimal efficiency if electrical foundation cant produce the raw supply of currents needed or faulty or a disregard to proper installation to cause harmful wear on said amplifier . Source signal being 2nd in the run- output can help compensate lighter electrical loads and give greater source level at lower volumes to keep head units running optimal efficiency, also the benefits from having top of the line sound staging capabilities to enhance your sound environment. 3rd is amplification to distribute the power to your passive equipment .4th are the Variables will play a part here , vehicle/enlcosure type , type of woofer/ type of external equipment included in the system overall. Cover those tracks amd theres really no bad place to start as long as those parameters are accounted for in the overall system . All in all to fully deliver a comprehensive proper helping hand in the audio community , This video should be 10 times the length of what has been produced .

@M.B.Enclosures I will oblige your offer, there are many other car audio enthusiasts such as yourself, that explain in detail regarding the mechanical engineering and science that shapes our technology today.

What’s you thoughts on JL Audio amps

[@21jordanlee]

I agree with you 💯👍. Dealing with that now with my full sundown audio system. From the full sets of components I got for the inside to my 2 x8v3 sub I got for under the seats running on a 500.4 and a 3000.1. It's taking so much electrical to run it that I get alot of clipping it seems like? From experience don't go cheap. I'm learning the hard way.😩😩🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@imdbtruth]

This what I keep trying to tell people who are debating over which subwoofer to buy... Worry more about your amp and the enclosure, as those make a bigger difference.

[@darksidefordinner5170]

A lot of amplifiers are dyno'd by resistive loads, not reactive. We have different electrical, different enclosure, and box rise which changes ohm resistance. Do your research closely

[@Kdub599]

Okay... I’m done with Taramps!!! I wish I would have seen this earlier. I’ve used four taramps 800, 1200, 3000, smartbass3k. That’s why it don’t sound the same. I’ve came from RE Audio and JL.

Or at that point is that just overkill. All of the components have crossovers and including the stereo. Dual 4 gauge power and grounds to cap and amps good monster rca’s cables. I’m in the sql family so I’m not going to cry if I can’t hear hair Brussels flopping in the wind if you know what I mean. The stereo is a 4v pre-out rca’s.
