Audiocontrol ACM Micro Amplifiers Unboxed, Played, Dyno Tested and Exposed (the Guts)

[@meade916]

Should i hide one of these amps or BOTH of them somewhere and have a little "easter egg" hunt? I was thinking of planting 2 "coupons" somewhere in the united states (i have connections EVERYWHERE) and on Sunday the first people to find them will GET THE amps! Whatcha think?

[@anthonyflores8156]

How much do these Amps run I'm building a small system and would love these in my Tahoe

[@Lincolnlands]

do it.

[@PSBeard]

Anthony Flores just picked up the mono for $249.

[@Mdomingue005]

Hide some in cali

[@kennethfair8256]

I dont have IG but thats a great idea

[@wal]

Awe yeah, loves me some Amp Dyno Videos! AudioControl is the real deal, watching now. Wow, those little jokers pack a punch! Crazy so much power inside such little cases. Love the vid, keep it up bro!

[@meade916]

thanks Big D!!!!!!!

[@danielfitterer2645]

How can an amplifier put out so much lower given it's fuse amperage? Would we need to boost the amps fuse to run full time bridged 4ohm?

[@bigdaddy3887]

There's an optional plate, AudioControl ACM-5.600, that can be used to combine both of these amps to make it look like its a single 5 channel amplifier. Remove the top plates from both amps and use the ACM-5.600 to combine both. Pretty cool video. Thanks. Forgot to mention, for some reason that plate isn't listed on the AudioControl website but it exists and it is an actual AudioControl product.

[@HomeTheatre101]

Who else is up late watching Steve's adventures? Hope everyone's doing alright and always looking forward to your next video!

[@baileybasshead8762]

I'm up even later

[@meade916]

thanks my brotha i appreciate the view and the comment!

[@walkingfreak]

Audio control has seriously stepped up their game lately. Those kind of expensive amps but i'm sure in person they sound amazing.

[@TailRecursion]

Those covers are to keep that friend who "knows car audio" (but doesn't own a car) from messing with the gain

[@meade916]

hahah yup yup!!

[@Edrop-sj3vx]

On the head phones the bass sounds clean af from those 24s

[@PsyphMorrison]

These lil amps go crazy. Dope video bro

[@meade916]

chyeeeeaaaaa man! and you know i had to hit up the classics for that bass demo! :D Can never go wrong with Diamond In the Mudd!

[@PsyphMorrison]

Definitely played some classics!

[@jwoodard1369]

So how many watts did the 4.300 do at 4 ohm in each 4 channels

[@TheCj9860]

Ready for the four 8's to get installed in the Ford

[@feeterican]

Back in September I picked up a Kicker 1600W (800W RMS) not thinking much of it since it was about the size of my hand and 2" thick. After it was all hooked up my freakin jaw dropped. I couldn't believe how much sound came out of such a small little thing. Back in our day, Amps would have to take up half the width of a car to be that powerful. I had my friend sit in my car and said it was deeper and louder than his (3) 12" subs back in the mid/late 90's. I popped the trunk to show him and he accused me of sorcery since I only had (1) 12" sub in a sealed box and this tiny little D-Class amp lol. Man! how times have changed.

[@KINGHARGRAVE]

So your friend likes it deeper and louder 🤭🤭🤭

[@03_austindrake88]

Exactly what I'd expect from Audio Control. (Well definitely more power than I expected) Audio Control has always made great products.

[@thethor6008]

Audiocontrol has been high quality since wayback these amps are awesome almost wish I hadn't just finished my install

[@angelvip2474]

Ahhhhhhh. That's my go to bass track for demo. Customers love it. Smiles every time. Thumbs up for Psyph

[@332sjbender]

Perhaps it is time to do a sleeper build. Small hidden sub, upgraded door speakers and these amps would be perfect for that WOW factor.

[@paulchristiansen7014]

those are beast of a amps...I am sold on those two for my next setup...cheers brother

[@subterfuge194]

Always love amp dyno vids. Cant wait for that B2 Riot 7500 to hop on that dyno!

[@kitcat2559]

Those mids sounded so damn nice and clear with that Audio Control Amp and then the 2 massive 18's in the skeletor box being moved by a small like 4inch wide amp on its own just blew me away how much that lil guy could do on its own with the head unit output, this honestly would work perfectly for a small car or truck or any vehicle honestly where space is limited. 10/10 rating even though I don't own these XD

[@meade916]

Kit Cat 24’s 🤷‍♂️ just sayin.

[@devaperzspotreviewz]

Reminds me of my first ever system I put in around 92, 93 I had a 90w Autotek amp, some kind of 10s in a truck box I had gotten for a birthday and the deck I can't recall..im 47 and got bud residue in my memory banks..🤷 anyway that shit pushed them tens nice! Since then I learned a solid 90w could push true power while some 700w amps run less than half spec power. I miss the satisfaction of finishing up a proper install and bumpin my fav songs down the phx streets. Love your vids and Installs man keep pushin tough 🔊🔊🔊

[@baileybasshead8762]

Yeah autotek made some good products back in the day...

[@bigvell02]

This video is making me want to grab a epic. I can see myself slapping some 70’s and 80s classics changing a simple beat into a rumble 😎 Wow that footprint is so so small. Cool share! Stay safe and keep up the goods 💯

[@FrankBennett-kb7xs]

Will vouch for the 4 channel output capability and the dyno results there speak for themselves. Currently running it in 4 channel mode at the moment but a few years ago bridged it to actively power a pair of midbasses in the doors HPF 24 DB at times anywhere from 65-80 HZ and it was seriously more power than those midbasses actually wanted and those drivers were very capable xmax wise as well as power handling.

[@johndevries1815]

Those amps are amazing. Thanks for all of your videos.

[@rmblwgn]

Ok the monoblock was decent for its size but the architecture of that four channel blew my mind. That dynamic power made me think of Rockford. I wouldn't go with the monoblock but that 4 channel is beastly putting out a legit 150 W per channel. It could do 2x 6.5 +1 tweeter on each of the front channels and 2x 2ohm 6x9 on the rears for a seriously loud system

[@davidmonroe3803]

Audio Control for the win!!!

[@JOHNJ0HN9111]

i love Audiocontrol!! they always under rate there stuff!! i love it...

[@rmoore911]

Was thinking of putting in a nice little concealed system in my '06 Mini Cooper this summer. Those look like they'd fit perfectly in the real panel section in the hatch.

[@ZR1VengefulMMAGTS]

Best notification to get SMD new uploads!!

[@elpollo4586]

I dream of having audio control amps, mainly the amps with the integrated DSP, one day I will.

[@raygandavis7707]

🤔 there must be a hidden 3000 Watt RMS amp hidden somewhere 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jonathannichols649]

Great amp for the size. Can never go wrong with audiocontrol

[@Chefproclaim]

Aye Y'all Thumbs Up For All The Time & Effort Steve Puts In This Videos. Str⁸Up

[@meade916]

thank you Chef! this one took 7 hours to edit....

[@Chefproclaim]

@@meade916 wow! & that's not including the work done in the actual video. Much respect.

[@marknowakowski6590]

The 80s style alpine amps 22watt we’re almost those size but smaller I had them connected to my old cassette deck Alpine 7164, and 3318 EQ.

[@vasquez3769]

Wait. I'm lost. That 4 channel. What's it do at 4 ohm and at 4 ohm bridged???

[@IamSavoiiMusic]

I would estimate that the ACM 4.300 is capable of 60-65 watts RMS x 4 at 4ohms and 90-95 watts RMS x 4 at 2ohms.

[@CoryWasco]

Hey Steve , What do you think is better for a hi level input stock stereo upgrade , The Audiocontrol ACM amplifiers or the Kicker KEY amplifiers ?

[@quilesracing3222]

What mid speakers are those? Brand, model and size?

[@RM-fb6sj]

Audiocontrol is the only way to go!

[@ChickenJoe24]

NOTIF GANG What's up meade and fam That audio control 4.300 👀

[@dzynr320]

Dope! I have a mono 300 and I love it! It was only $120 on Ebay since it was an older model without a bass knob output.

[@nobodytoyou4887]

I hope AC makes double version of these for the 600 watt range to round things out (600w mono and 4x150 4 channel) though like hell I'm taking my backseat out to replace my current amps.

[@Mike-ek1ek]

What’s the dyno numbers on 4 channel 4ohm rms and did you try 2ohm bridges?

[@Mani-aX]

great vid! the mic on your camera didnt clip much of the bass from the 24's at all.

[@Spaman42]

I’d love to see how to wire the 4ch to feed a front stage and sub off a factory amp (‘19 Ridgeline). Would I need an Lc2i still to get Acubass for the sub?

[@ImSoFly72]

I plan on doing a build in the wifes vehicle with these,she wont have anything else to complain about when I'm done with it.

[@rickybobby8178]

I'm having problems witha 97 Mustang I installed a radio everything works but I have no sound can someone help me please

[@jordant0085]

I have these set up in my forester. The mono is pushing my comp r as well as I think it can.

[@killer32620]

Dam thats some mad power for the size their packin 👍

[@colvilletribe2383]

Nice , looking to get this brand now...

[@kennethfair8256]

This just might be what i need for 93 2dr yukon. I would love these

[@thebeanner1]

Impressive.. sick little amps shop was banging!! Nice

[@ghostid544]

Oooh, I like these types of videos. Fun to see what's inside.

[@mikesmith3771]

Just had a random suggestion for this video and since i love tinkering with car audio i started to watch it and realised i dont know anything but still gonna bing watch and sub so i can learn

[@dj4monie]

Just one 4 channel would do well in a super simple budget system, especially with efficient speakers (Hertz). Hmm there's an idea...

[@meade916]

sure would! Maybe i should wire up this system off one amp and demonstrate how good it can be..

[@georgestavris6679]

Juke box hero on the bakcround is a nice touch..i bet this track would also be amazing through this set up.

[@baileybasshead8762]

Gawd damnit, I WANT THESE AMPS, not one but both! And I want some ice cream damnit! Oh yeah, lemme get 2 packs of Marlboro reds and one of those Andes mints, too...

[@laurenceperotti9967]

I have that 4 channel powering hertz deci comp in the front and hertz deci coax in the back paired with a powered pioneer 12in sub box... AMAZING 😉 love it makes me feel like I’m 18 again 🤩

[@rmblwgn]

" this thing is a lot smaller than I thought it would be". How Many poor guys have heard that line at the worst time

[@joelmadden281]

Danm it's beating....100% Bad ass

[@robland6118]

They are tiny. Thanks for the video bro.

[@mattclark2641]

Its definitely crazy how small amplifiers are getting👍👍

[@firstnamelastnameisallowed7943]

Those two amps stuck together at the end of the video are the same size as a old school CD changer!! That's so cool, tech these days am I right!! AAAAAAA lol

[@ehrenkrause9861]

Gotta love the audio control gear. Its no joke😊👍

[@lmatos369]

Meade is one of the essentials

[@angelvip2474]

Shit put that 4 channel on those subs almost 1000 Watts dynamic damn. Nice job Steve and great job audio control

[@meade916]

i mean...they werent moving much being underpowered by more than 10x....but they still made a lot of bass on that little amp haha! thanks man!!

[@cliffbaughman650]

Good looking out on getting my guy Bryan hooked up with the new smd lineup on distribution blocks last week. Hopefully i can get him to come off the old one cheap now!

[@meade916]

thanks! 😎 and nah...he should throw the old one out or screw it to the garage wall. Has to come out of circulation if i replaced his old stuff on me. 🤷‍♂️

[@NIKONUGENT]

Hell yeah bad ass cant wait to see the Escalade build

[@Darrell1981]

Gotta wonder how they made that possible. I wasn't expecting those Sundowns to move at all.

[@EZShop76]

Wow! The chassis of those amplifiers are really small for the power output and I noticed even the fuse size is small too! What sorcery is going on here!? Heh-heh. NIIIICE!

[@SkillCap]

these new mini amps are starting to pack some power, i wish they were around 3 years ago.

[@maynellrodrigues9862]

Hold up. So the the mono block amp has less power than the 4 channel . ???

[@generaljerm]

Awesome Steve 👍 them some awesome amps

[@vashstamped48]

Damn SMD. I'd love to have that sundown skeletor set up in my buick

[@1dickycat]

Them lil guys are beasts!!!

[@cross_fire_]

Would it be a bad idea to install one of these behind my dash (if it will fit) so it will be easier to connect to the door speakers, using the existing wires? I do not have a huge system, just one 10 with a 500 watt amp. It sounds great for what i need but I really want to change out my front speakers to a component set and rear doors with nice coaxials. Any suggestions? It's an older 4runner with a newer pioneer nex double din.

[@cross_fire_]

@Dave Micolichek thanks man! I was also looking at the tiny nvx. It looks to have great reviews.

[@theejoeylee]

That Bass amp would be great for my civic with stock electrical. Maybe still a bit much. I figure 300w is all it can handle without killing my alternator

[@roadlife9312]

AWESOME demo...

[@jody024]

Those are really good looking amps man! Holy shit man! haha.

[@jaydawg116]

Did I hear tool vicarious playing in the background??

[@MichaelSewgoolam]

1:25 I hate when she tells me that :'(

[@abdomination]

Is it easier to drive a larger subwoofer with less power than it would be for a smaller subwoofer?

[@professorjack2099]

Yes, because a larger subwoofer is more efficient at converting watts to sound. I would think.

[@esco7605]

Yo @meade916 where can I purchase your custom fuse/fuse boxes and also your speaker box connector terminals at ?? What site ?

[@cotisado16]

Check www.wccaraudio.com .. that's his page

[@aashmediaproductions2799]

These amps are perfect for my Honda Odyssey where space is at a premium

[@baileybasshead8762]

No no no my Ford is more deserving

[@aashmediaproductions2799]

Bailey Basshead Your Ford could be more deserving, I wouldn’t know, I’m just a 13 yo who wants some bass in his minivan

[@valentinolouw794]

Hi guys valentino here from SA just love your channel I love bass just wish I could get to test that out

[@EmilQuistDK]

Yes new video 👍🏼

[@tnkmaker1173]

0:20 sound name

[@joshnelson4431]

Wish i had more money, i would love to have these amps an a descent component setup

[@gmsgabaradamaba4064]

So in that four channel test at eight ohms bridged would be the equivalent to a four ohm stereo If so wouldn’t that be 160 W per channel ?

[@slipinbr0055]

Im having trouble trying to get thid ground loop out of my truck. How do i find out whats the cause of it? Please help

[@syoungblood153]

Just may have to get those for my HD Ultra

[@suzuki400sm]

Nice little amps

[@jwoodard1369]

Do yo think that acm 4.300 amp will be enough power for my infinity kappa components in the front of my challenger an coax in the rear both 6.6

[@Edrop-sj3vx]

4 awg wire no way in hell that's 4 awg shit looks big af

[@robertsalinas3182]

They are bad ass for the size bro

[@Solairethedarksoul]

Is the lc2i pro intergrated in this amp and it’s not necessary to buy?

[@inspireonex]

I've never seen Brando with the hoodie off. Does it come off?

[@blackwolf_king42]

Steve what's your box coated with on your 24s

[@baileybasshead8762]

He used Raptor U-pol on that one. Another great one I use is Duratex made by Acrytech in Florida. Acrytech also has spray sound dampener and ceramic thermal insulation

[@dequan916]

Technology sure has come a long way.

[@davidgreggs6830]

Awesome video

[@wicked_low]

Will the t400.4ad work with lithium charging at 15.5v?

[@HouseLightweight]

damn that says a lot about those audio control amps that 300.1 pushing those big ass speakers lol.

[@erikflores3929]

Thanks got the video!
