BigDWiz not sure where to ask this but can you please test some more power acoustik amps? Recommendations: Demon series ii d4.2400 Demon series ii d1.4000 And maybe some of the older small amps from their lineup. Much appreciated. Great content thus far

[@LegacyWarriorDestiny]

So I don't understand how manufacturers are able to get away with labeling their products with lies? Any insight?

[@JoseChavez-co2tn]

BigDWiz is it good or bad brother is it 10'000 or less

[@MRFATDNUGS]

In your opinion is it worth it for the $300? One more ? For you boss what is a good amp for the 300 range I only have 2 12s that are 1000 watt each. Been wanting to just buy the big fosgate amp but its $1500 is there any thing on the market one those gems that really puts out power for a low price thank you for your time GREAT VIDEOS APPRECIATE YOUR TIME

[@Rx_Lee]

I think they messed up on the labeling cause if you move your results over a space on your chart then you get very close to the ratings listed, probably ment 2 ohm 1660, 1 Ohm 2832, and .5 ohm 4877 which is very close. Seen alot of miss labeling with these kinda companies.

[@KC8YPK]

Any company that places a claim, should be able to back it up, prove it. if not then suit for false advertising.

all in all, not bad for $300 . I have heard this amp on 2 dc lvl 5 15's d2 @.5 and it sounded decent. the output isn't all that clean but it's still ok to wow the crowd... a little lol. thx for the video

[@michaelzernie7092]

This is why I love watching your videos man. True numbers. Bought my Audiopipe amps because of your dyno tests. You rock bud!!

[@BARBELLS-AND-BUDS]

Guts dont look too bad, they should just rate i as 2500 watts RMS at 1 ohm and it should sell

[@wal]

+bassmansoundking99 precisely. But 10kW sounds much better, right?

[@BARBELLS-AND-BUDS]

Yeah sounds good and maybe lots will never know.

[@CombatingRowe]

bassmansoundking99 your right. it looks like a slightly more beefed up board from a hifonics brz2400. For 300 it's not bad for a daily with a couple 1k RMS drivers. I would rather pay half the price instead of 700 for a sundown 2500 or 3k ect

[@BARBELLS-AND-BUDS]

I just think lesser quality amps need to be better cared for, as in better voltage to protect it. Often they have a weak power supply, or just enough fets to support output, but not enough built-in headroom.

[@FUCKDSS]

i know ive checked out the planet audio anarchy 1200 .2 and 3000.1 and they look to have most of the same componets but i have found a 1200.1 d from way back that might do it ( i hope ) i did a multi meter test and it came out if i did my math right to 423 wats at 4 ohm with 6 gauge wire a 150 amp stock alt reg battery and a pioneer lower end head unit with a line driver but most of my older amps seem to be on the better side of me believing there rated power newer ones i look at and say divide by half that at least if not worse

[@hshj04]

2-3k watts for 300 isn't bad. my thing is why not just call it a 2500D and make yourself look better as a company. granted this thing probably won't last but hey..

it's rating is based on 2 amps bridged together.

if a 1600 watt CAB at 200 dollars produces more RMS than A 300 dollar amp producing near 5000 watts playing music how is it cheaper?

[@moncier77]

juggernautxtr check out his testing on CAB.. isn’t 1600 Watts! It’s more

I've owned the Orion XTR 2200 and liked it so much I bought the supposedly updated XTR 2500. They didn't update anything but the name. Exact same amp, over preformed at 2200 so they changed the label to 2500. They claim rated at 12.6v but I couldn't get rated at that voltage. I DID get rated at 14.8 however. Phenomenal performance at half ohm as well, get a little warm however...

I pushed 2 gw3-10 on 2 ohm load off an orion 2500d which is rated for 1700 rms. Gain set via smd dd1 and never blew one. Did blow one hooking 4 up to the amp at 1 ohm but could been a fluke. Everyone here knows Orion is way under rated

because its false advertising

[@All2Skitzd]

Adrian Paul yeah i gave the rundown on how that works on another comment, 10K ain't the power rating, thats the life expectancy, you'll get 10,000 watts out of it, just not all at the same time. False advertising is when you buy a box of cereal and the box says it gives you energy but does not have a disclaimer on it saying that it has not been tested and no FDA testing has been done to support those claims. Guess what? Kellogg done f*cked, Class action lawsuit b*tches, BAM, $3 Check in my pocket, As soon as I find a place that will cash a check for less the $3 wont be nothing left to do but count my money. (true story besides the finding a place to cash it, i deposited the check in the bank and ain't looked back since)

[@kikejr5551]

Did this amp heat up @ .5 ohms

[@1-Six-dee]

Absolutely insane the amount of amperage it pulled to what it pushed out seems like if u were having a 300 amp draw u should be getting at least a good 4500 watts

[@selfinflicted77]

Daniel Harrell no with a good amp a 400 amp draw really can only support around 3.5k-3.8k . all amps have an efficiency rating. most decent amps are 80% or above. that means you have a 20% loss when converting amps to wattage. for you example to be true you would need an amplifier with a 150% efficiency. that is impossible as energy is always lost as heat and other ways. the most efficient amps on the market are around 90%. my saz2500v2 was ratted for a 300 amp main fues just to push 2.5k at 1 ohm. at .5 ohm it jumped to around 2.85k so its efficiency at half ohm increased to closer to 90 something percent. anyway I just wrote this to help you better understand how fusing relates to maximum wattage. also I seen it had 2 likes so there is more than just you that are mis informed about how amperage draw directly related to efficiency rating and maximum wattage. you will never find a 12v amp with a 300 amp fuse pushing 4k.... unless the fuse isn't working right or is some kind if a cheater fuse. mike smiley did a test of some special fuses he found and was able to pull almost 400 amps through a 100 amp rated fuse. this is why most car stereo comps stopped using fuses for classification and went directly to clamping the amps. some fuses just refuse to pop at rated draw and some people were using slow blow fuses to exceed the rated amperage in their respected class. hope this helps and clears up your misunderstanding.

[@dirtrider88]

its a class AB, there about the least efficient type of amp there is.

I imagine that when a company rates their amplifiers at different resistances that the highest power rating they list will be at the Thevenin resistance. Operating at a lower resistance than that will not make you more power, in fact power falls off quickly below Thevenin resistance and just serves to make a lot of heat. But that of course is assuming that that's how the company is rating their amplifier. Does anyone know if that's the case?

Please do a test on a power acoustik A3000DB! My cousin had 1 on two 15 inch flame Q compression Audiobahn subs and hit a 153.4 back n the day! I would love to know what this thing really is puttin out!

[@LouisianaKing1212]

great video, what would you recommend for 2 15" L7s 750 rms

[@user-ip7uj1zl6e]

almost no amps actually put out rated power if it does 4k rms for 300 bucks its not a bad deal at all. plus im sure if u can get em better voltage theyd pump a little more it's basically a stock alternator test. my 6ks hit way harder at 15.5v then the 14v

[@syncrogt1]

Doesn't 0 gauge wire only carry around 200 amps or so? What size wire did you use during the test?

[@2muchspl]

Thanks for posting this, I wondered about this amp a few months ago.

[@ThePtown91]

So how many watts you think the 4500 watts edge amp would push ?

[@JohnDoe-cv8iw]

Thanks for the video, i see these are now only $130 on ebay and after watching this i think i will buy one! i only have a single skar zvx 12 do i think this will be perfect for me!

[@Trikolor77]

Great vid BigDWiz, could you test the Hifonics HFi1500D?

[@wal]

+Pelczhoffer Márk I'm going to take a break from buying amps for a bit and test what I have. I may get one of those sometime to test, keep watching

[@Trikolor77]

I'll keep your advice. These HFi amplifiers are bothering me because they were on a 75% sale. $150 for a $500 amplifier sounds way too good.

[@smallmechanic]

Would you recommend this amp for subs that needs 2k at 1 ohm? Or should I try to get a better brand 2k? Great vid D!!!

[@Thecruisingtyflosion]

I know this comment is old as hell, but rf prime 1200.1d allllll day

[@hgwaterous]

Hey Big D Wiz, is there an amp manufacturer that you think has the most honest ratings and dollar per watt value?

[@triberhythm]

I used to have that same watch.. One of the best seikos for the money.

[@jamesmayberry2440]

intresting....watts per dollar, how would you compare this to the cab-1600.1? does this seem like a beefier amp than the cab?

[@blkngwinn]

It would be nice to see a test from you on the JL Audio HD600 and the Alpine PDX-F6

[@wal]

+CAMDENN MUSTANG sounds like a good Dyno drag! I'm not sure my local dealer carries these, if they do, I can get both to try out. Lemme check...

[@darrendonaldson3358]

What do you do with the amps when you're done with them?

[@850CANE]

So what in your opinion is a good budget monoblock amp? In the 1,500 watt RMS range? I'm looking to upgrade but on a shoestring budget. This one pulls too much power

[@randyfermin64]

Hey man, I been watching your videos for about a year now. Thanks for all the info and dyno tests. Could you put any of the Lanzar Opti series in the dyno. Just to see how they really work. The spanish community will be really thankful if you do so. Nobody in youtube has done it before, you will be getting all those viewers.

[@wal]

+Randy Fermin Thanks for watching and for the comment! I think those Opti's you are referring to are pretty pricey. I'd love to be able to test one, maybe sometime in the future.

[@randyfermin64]

+Dereck BigDWiz I have a Opti 900x2 and a 6,000D I could send you so they can be tested If the shipping price is not too expensive

[@markbarilleauii6337]

Derrick, could you possibly dyno a Polk Audio 1100.5?

[@blech71]

Wouldn't that be quite a bit of amperage for the yield on wattage produced?

[@wal]

+blech71 yes, tells me it is inefficient

[@Rhino5NotProductions]

I just bought a PG ELITE .5 have you done a test on these yet? they come with a birth certificate but wanted you to test it also. Interested?

[@DJMoPhiya]

They probably are advertising that you can get 10,000 watts when you sync a pair of them together at a total of .5 ohm load on both amps. Can you try that and see what happens then? Also, can you compare a pair of Rockford T2500bd-CP synced? - Thanks @ BigDWiz

[@AB-80X]

Not sure you can sync these.

[@15buggie]

What Alpine unit is that?? Love it!

[@wal]

CDA-9815. Only cleaner head unit I've tested is the Pioneer 80PRS (THD, voltage, etc). I may switch my bench unit to the Pioneer soon, but this Alpine is rock solid.

[@KINGSHILOH3]

BigDWiz what is the MOST Efficient amplifier you EVER tested to date????

[@erichernandez9090]

Yo big d could you do a amp test on the kicker cx 1200.1 amplifier and tell me the suggested fuse size I don't know much about car audio I'd greatly appreciate it by the way I enjoy watching your videos man keep up the good work!

[@wal]

Check the manual, Kicker provides excellent info

[@erichernandez9090]

@@wal thanks and I did I looked it up. Dont have the manual as I purchased it used. Also if you do ever happen to come across the kicker cx 1200.1 the first cx series yellow and black one from 2012 not the updated cx grey and black one and if you have the time, throw her on the dyno and let's see what she can do.

[@1UpTroy]

before i even watch this, thank you... I been waiting for this test for a month now... thanks thanks thanks thanks

[@wal]

+James Fantroy Just watch the video 500 times and share with 2000 of your closest friends to thank me...lol

[@1UpTroy]

+Dereck BigDWiz lol, what are going to do with the amp now?

[@wal]

Have not decided for sure

[@shaunheckerman6974]

I don't have the patience to read every comment but the only question I have is, Were the gains set or just left at 0? Thanks

[@Pitong88]

there is a chance to test this amplifier power acoustik eg1-2500d?

[@mem10fan2]

What are the four yellow components in the gut shot?

[@james10739]

im not saying that power acoustic is defiantly 10000w but what is your power supply how much does the voltage drop because what 350a at 12v is like 4200w again not that i think its 100% efficient or anything

[@wal]

My power setup can support over 1000A for short bursts and approx. 450A continuous. I use 8 banks (48 total) Maxwell Boostcaps for the main power source and keep them charged and fed by a 320A 14.4 vdc custom power supply. The Amp Dyno tests last a maximum of 10 seconds each, so in this case, the power supply was not the issue....

[@travis4798]

The actual rating is still pretty good for 300$, time will tell how long it will last too. From the looks of it, it looks like a class AB, not a D.

[@oxnardadrianlopez6684]

Good eye Travis! Yes sir this looks like AB and proof is the huge current it sucks up

[@travis4798]

Oxnard Adrian Lopez That's what I figured after seeing how it was built plus that amperage draw. Nothing wrong with AB amps I use them all the time. Too bad they lied about it lol

[@dirtyred9376]

What this is bullshit, these companies not gonna stop until they find themselves in a lawsuit for false advertising.

[@Hells_Gate]

Yip, I got a shitty BOSS riot 3400D amp, supposedly 2550 watts RMS at 1 ohm. What a load of shit, considering the fusing is 120 amp and its only a little bit louder that the last set up running 450 watts rms. Cheap and shit

[@2414kels]

+Hells Gate you actually bought a Boss amp?

[@bunnatang2081]

why not show the boosted voltage of the amp? i guess it is ±90v, how many Ampers?

[@northkali51o]

Do you sell the amps after testing them? Or do you hang on to them? Love watching all your videos. Keep up the good work!!! Thanks buddy

[@wal]

+northkali51o it depends on the Amp. I had this one listed for months, nobody wanted it.

[@blown572hemi]

Is there any way you can measure distortion on these cheap amps?

[@nukedathlonman]

Hmm, is it me or is max wattage calculated by RMS x5 to x10 on most of these styled budget amp's?

[@bigray3360]

i would love to see you test a mosconi or even the focal digital amp...900.6

[@wal]

+Raymond Dyke If I can find one local I'll test

[@bigray3360]

sweet

[@RealG864]

Can you do a dyno on the power acoustik bamf 8000 watt amp

[@joshcramer2917]

Have you done any diamond audio amp dyno?

[@Fdztinkerbox.]

You ever test out any quantum amps like the 4000? Im in bc canada and would love to know..our amps out here that are 2000 watts or more are a ridiculous price..so im going this rout...gotta build on a budget when u aint making 100 k a year :)

[@jasonjanes6147]

Have you done a Dyno test on the rzr1 2500 I was wondering how many watts it puts out a 2 ohms
