Rockville DB16 Re-Test... Can it produce more power with more voltage?

[@AnotherRumor]

Should test the db15 aswell!

[@robsorgdrager8477]

I don't mind the Rockville amps. I've ran into people saying they poo out real quick but the ones I've seen they mount the amps to the sub box....that's a big no-no , not a single amp that likes to be vibrated . mount your amp to a baffle and dampen it . there was a comment in here about the solder joints snapping, that happens from vibration of being mount on the sub box.

[@Zack-dk3pt]

lol mine is mounted directly to the box and i've been vibrating the crap out of it for like a month now. good thing they are cheap amps so i don;t mind putting them through the ringer.

[@kickkimble417]

u have a point but the main reason not to mount it on the box is heat. I use a wood bord any kind screw it to the box or where ever u find fit ..bolt the board down then use washers so when u bolt the amp down to the board it will b slightly 1 inch or half inch off the board surface which allows better air flow and allows more effect cooling..small fans will help..# rolling EMP

[@wackedoutg]

Mith, never proven. Been doing it for 5yrs with the same amp.

[@bobbymaner4113]

I have one and it went out from being on the box but it was under a year and they fixed it and shipped it back in less then a week. They do have decent customer service.

[@steve390gold]

@@wackedoutg not a myth as i have personally repaired tons of amps that failed due to vibration damage. In fact vibration damage has been the #1 issue ive seen. A single snapped leg on the gate drain or source will usually take out several output fets which in turn presents a direct short to the power supply and about half the time the power supply burns down.....

[@omaerep]

can you test this one????Rockville dB55 4000 Watt/2000w RMS 5 Channel Car

[@UltimateFitnessMotivation]

Great Job bro looking forward to your next video

[@getit7107]

Nice videos and testing man. I'm sure all the car audio guys and bass heads appreciate these videos.

[@mikewaters6339]

A friend just got one to power is American Bass 2000wrms sub, can't wait to hear what it does.

[@celestemccoy5476]

I would love to see Brand X amplifier tested. Right now on EBay you can buy a 2 channel 1900 watt amplifier for $99.99. At a local audio shop close to my house they sell Brand X and of course they tell me they're good amps. I would love to see a dyno on one.

Can you do a db 15 from rockville?

[@richbrax1881]

As the manufacturer states give or take 20% on the cea so that 1750 seem to fall with in there 20% I have the db15, I like to see you test that one as well I'm guessing you see that same loss but hope not. Great job on real numbers

[@realname6485]

Give or take 20% that is a huge margin for error

Another awesome video, thanks!

[@bonzainews]

I first saw Rockville at a flea market about 20 years ago. I thought they were An imitation j.c. Whitney brand x pile of doo back then. I can't believe they still exist.

[@bonzainews]

Ryan Blankenship yes you're absolutely right. Rockwood a play on Rockford and Kenwood. Total ripoff company. Rockville should have chosen a different name to avoid confusion.

[@travisj.1938]

I Had the exact same experience and impression. But from what Ive heard they're doing a pretty good jjob at their price point. Heard great things bout their subs as well. The price on their subs sure has went up though. Since word got out on em being alot of bump for the $.

[@eliasibguzman5987]

wat four channel amp u recomend me for four rockfordfosgate t1650 6.5 speakers on one of da budget amps uve tested

[@Charlie-pr5pq]

question: you didnt get the rated power, but they rate it at 14.4 volts, and your voltage was like 10% less than that. Can you re-run this again and get an ending voltage fof closer to14.4 and see what the numbers say ?

[@chefchutardo5215]

Would be great to see the rockville rpa9 home amp sold on amazon. 275 c.a.d fpr 800wrms

[@cyrus2brazy275]

db15 please!!

[@EARDRUMASSASSIN]

Resting voltage is for a battery that is unhooked and has been unhooked for at least 24hrs . That’s your float charge .

[@eliasibguzman5987]

ok thnks il b looking for either one of those

[@kcampbell4098]

show the Signal to noise ratio and damping factor please oB

[@robertburton8055]

I know this isn’t the point of the video but I have a question maybe you could answer... nobody makes a high amp alternator for my car, and even if they did throwing in a few batteries in would be MUUUCH cheaper and easier than getting a $600 alternator. How long could I run that amp on my factory alternator (140amp) with a 2nd XS battery without damaging my electrical system and without a voltage drop?? 5min? An hour? I’d literally only need it for short demo sessions with the car running... I would only run it at like 1/4 power 99% of the rest of the time.

[@bigblank69]

You may want to look at something like a Titan Lithium from XS.. that would help keep your electrical much more stable

[@robertburton8055]

@@bigblank69 Thank you!! I was also considering possibly going the ultra capacitor route

[@bigblank69]

@@robertburton8055 either way, I think the Lithium batteries are hard to compete against right now

[@robertburton8055]

@@bigblank69 Thanks again!! I JUUUUST got my Rockville DB55 because of what I saw on your dyno video on it from over a year ago! I’m gonna run 2 sets of JBL609 6.5” components and a Skar SDR 18” sub off of it!! Hoping to have some major beat for CHEAP!! Thank you soooo much for the videos you do! Love the content!

[@JasonWW2000]

Your factory alternator is 140-amp? That's pretty beefy. You could probably rewire it to get close to 280 amps out of it, but you would need a smaller pulley in order to increase its RPMs.

[@chrisbrownlee2993]

Maybe you should try the Jensen power 500 500x1 1000 watt monoblock amp for around 90 dollars

[@chrisbrownlee2993]

Got one you may want to check out Brand X amplifier L1140X1D 1140 watt amp on line for $99.00

[@BigBoy74X]

What are the original number watts it say for the amp?

[@joeyholthusen6495]

Curious of what the bigger M5 does.

[@Bign89]

sorry to bother you but what editing software are you using for the vidoes?

[@howardanderton4525]

So I'm guessing the rockville won't play at 1 ohm

[@GMTPF800]

How about .5 OMG BUT ONLY FOR @minut tho yes 1min.then I turn it down becouse I can't take it and its BECOUSE I don't want to rewire my subs to a2ohm load

[@JasonWW2000]

It's only rated to 2 ohm.

[@pellettron-nj9ci]

I would not mind buying this amp from you if you still have it.

Do the uncertified

[@doskoreanitos2588]

Did you say it kept going into protect mode?

[@bigblank69]

No...

[@doskoreanitos2588]

Budget Gem or Budget Bust ah damn I misheard. Haha i thought you said somewhere in the video that it went into protection mode for some reason. I almost got one from an eBay auction essentially new for $150 but I ended up getting skar rp1200 Instead

Stephen Sanchez I mean, if you still looking for an amp, the cab 1600.1 is 1 ohm stable iirc, and it's pretty cheap last time I checked

[@pyroman6695]

What if this thing runs at 1 ohm.. Will it fry?

[@bigblank69]

Apparently not... Barevids did a video on it and it looks like it may actually be 1 ohm stable

[@edrickmendez7978]

Awesome.. Can you tell us if that amp have any issues because I've seeing videos that these amps have problems..what you think?

[@edrickmendez7978]

Ryan Blankenship True..thanks for your reply..later can you do a test on a Pioneer GM-D8601? .

[@edrickmendez7978]

Ryan Blankenship awesome to many people thinks this amp it not worth it..for the price I think its a steal and its CEA-Rated ohh I have two of them GM-D8601 and GM-D8604 and their awesome..thanks for the reply I'm a big fan from Puerto Rico keep in coming the good videos!

[@edrickmendez7978]

Tammy Forbes I have no issues with that amp I've being using it for 2 years..but already I purchased 2 new amps from Skar Audio the RP-800.1D and RP-75.4 with the new Skar SDR-15D2 but thanks for the reply!

[@homiebear]

BigDWiz tested the Pioneer gm-d9601 amp.

[@joshhanson6777]

Edrick Mendez i have repaired many of the rockville Monoblock amplifiers and its always the same problem. If you look at the gut shot of this amplifier you will notice almost no glue at all on the output section torroid. Vibration snaps that small torroid wire going into the board very quickly and easily. The fet legs break fast also. If you buy one, glue the hell out of the torriods and run some solder up the legs of the fets and the amp will handle the vibration better and be less likely to fail. If you do what I recommend you will have a nice amp for the $. The m5 board is beffier than this board, it will do the 2000 at certified im sure, just at 1ohm instead of 2. This board is more like the m4 it only has 4 large caps the m5 has 6!

[@v8vega355]

if you still have this amp can you put it on the ad-1 to see if the watts are the same between the meters

[@bigmike4720]

Is this amp 1 ohm stable

[@JasonWW2000]

No, this amp is designed to deliver max power at 2 ohm. If you need a 1 ohm stable amp you will need to find a different model.

[@trucavalier]

More capacitors lmfao! Keep up the vidz!

[@resaalynn8923]

Lol I don't understand just asking is this a great amp or not

[@juancarlosruiz1985]

Can this amp be used for hpf for mids and highs?

[@juancarlosruiz1985]

Ryan Blankenship what would be a good amp for mids and highs with 2000rms

[@alejandroespinoza3686]

juancarlosruiz1985 Look for any amp that is CEA2006 certified. Class a/b amps are usually used for voice because of their clarity. But lately, class D amps are being made for voice. I purchased an DB Drive 4 channel class D marine amp and must say it sounds clean on my a/d/s speakers. 50 watts rms per channel is more than enough juice for any non competition vehicle. Practice safe listening.

[@prestonposey4336]

See now you have to go back and retest a lot of things

[@randyhunt1581]

No one test their amps on certified.

[@kellytaylor3915]

Who cares how many watts. What does sound like.

[@kenhaze5230]

People making car audio systems care because car subwoofers have tiny Vas for small boxes and so are extremely inefficient. It's also a subwoofer amp. Sound quality would be impossible to discern in blind testing because slight distortion in amplitude and phase are basically impossible to hear at sub-bass frequencies.
