The Kenwood sounds great and is pretty small so aside from saving over $125 and not having warranty I don't think I lost out on anything tbh. Pretty sure the Kenwood will last longer too, imo.

Awesome channel as always, just wondering if you could do a segment on thd and snr on these multichannels and demonstrate why these numbers are important when running your highs. Maybe do a segment on why any amp that has crossovers that only filters up to 500 hz arent the best for running tweeters, as a lot of guys are going pro audio for their highs , and cant understand why they keep popping tweeters or have poor sound quality even with the little capacitor crossovers on the tweeters. That would also be a good video on its own, showing everyone what pro audio mids and highs sound good, because there is so many that sound like garbadge compared to the coaxials and components that we were used to running back in the nineties.

The RP-600.5 is 5 watts more power in the CH 1-4 but the sub power at 2 ohm is very different. Only $20 separate these amps and again what is on the inside would be very helpful.

Thanks for this review. Made a deal last year to sell my current system to a friend, with plans to upgrade to newer more powerful amps.... then Covid-19..... out of work, couldn't afford what I wanted, but at LEAST wanted an amp to replace the 12,000 watts that I was getting rid of (ouch!) Bought this amp off of eBay as it was not in stock in Amazon. Got it yesterday and installed it in my vehicle. Its powering two 6 1/2's per front door wired at 2 ohms, one 6 1/2 per rear door at 4 ohms, and one 10" sub at two ohms, it does get pretty warm, but it has enough power to keep me satisfied until I can afford to go bigger. Plus, I am technically a senior citizen, and not sure if I want to go that big anymore.... not cause it's too loud, the strain on my body installing all that gear, and building and installing three to four hundred pound subwoofer enclosures now has me laid up for a few days of recovery....🤣 Update.... the one thing I have noticed about this amp is that it has a pretty noticeable turn on/off pop that is fairly annoying. Also this amp should have 4 gauge power inputs.

My biggest nitpick with this amp is the fact that the power and ground inputs are 8 gauge. If the amp is 900 Watts, it's not 100% efficient so round that up to 1000 watts. You shouldn't use 8 gauge if youre running the wires all the way to the trunk for 1000 watts. The amperage on that is too high for 8 gauge. I guess you could do it but that makes me question them the fact that they didn't put 4 gauge power/ground inputs.

Hey Big D! Great video. I picked up two of these to run a system in my wrangler. Figured if I got them wet or messed up, no big deal. I got two skar vd8's ina sealed box, each run my the channel five of both amps. I've lost balance and fader for some reason. I assumed I'd rca input to match the speaker output. I'm running the four corners bridged. Sounds good but I'm having difficulty figuring out the rca config. Speaker output is wired the way you have it. But any suggestions on how rca input? I saw you connected all four channels in to get 2 out. Think I should use y adapters to have fader and balance control? Any ideas would be great! Keep up the great videos!!

You should Dyno the nemesis 1600 mono small amp impressive power i think it's 900 rms but to me sims to be more than that
@tatsumaru123454 жыл бұрын
160$ isn't bad! Its tiny, and doesnt have angled power inputs thankfully. But I'll say, if you can afford 40$ more, the pioneer d9705 is a phenomenal 5 channel I use. Powers a 12" alpine type x beautifully. Plus you only need 2 rcas, to power all 5 channels

Can you test the rp600.5 as well. It seems as though the SK-M9005D has less features but puts out more power than the larger one according to Skar Audio test. For example, you got 631 dynamically @ 2ohm with the SK-M9005D but the RP-600.5 only did 472 dynamically @ 1 Ohm.

Try some oldskul budget amps, like Kenwoods

I have this very amp and it works good... But it has a big cooling problem. Especially when hot out. It would go into protect mode after a bit of really hitting on it. I had to run a 12v fan off the remote and it's been good since!

Nice video big D! Any thoughts on the quality of Skar ? (Compared to common brands Alpine, pioneer, Kenwood etc etc) getting ready to pickup a few subs for my truck. Loyal to Rockford Amps. Thanks!

I was raised on old school audio companies. I put a 1200 watt monoblock and 800 watt 4 channel from skar a year ago and have been nothing but impressed so much so when I blew my front components I bought skar it's good stuff.
