Gut shot. It's not amp test without it. Nice job. Very close to skar layout mains

[@wal]

Amp looks sharp! Those power terminals are not my favorites and the speaker outputs are rather small. Also kinda odd the 15V shutoff, I usually see around 15.8 on 12V amps. Either way good power overall and great video!

[@HifiVega]

The 15v cut off was definitely something I haven’t run into so I wanted to make sure I pointed that out

[@steveschwartz9421]

Seems to be a popular house brand on the market. Looking at the insides, this amp is identical to the DS18 ZR2000.1D and the Harmony Audio HA-A1500.1. There are a couple of differences in connection atributes (like phillips versus hexagon screw types and RJ11 versus 3.5mm 1/8" jack for reomote knob) but other than that and the enclosures, they are the same product and spec out exactly the same.

I just subscribed great video hifivega I watched you on the Big Jeff Audio podcast

[@root7205]

Congrats Darren!!

[@paulgood2218]

Great video , great testing to know about the 15 volt shut off

[@HifiVega]

Thanks for watching

[@RJayRabbit]

Great vid! Dang Bif Jefe is trying to get out there, he does have some really good deals.

[@dancingwiththedogsdj]

A Big "D" vid now some Hifi Vega! Hell yeah!! Thank you for doing what you do! Hope you have a wonderful day my man! Love your stuff!!! 🍻🌎❤️🌮🎶

[@HifiVega]

Thanks for watching!

[@ruikazane5123]

These amps get smaller in size by the day...unfortunately so did the wire terminals! Could be a nice unit to mount on a sub box that goes in an out the car. The 15v protect limits it to 12-14v systems...at least that's the only wrong info on the box and not the 1 ohm per channel on Big Dummy's SFB

[@RyanBassForLife]

Nice amplifier👍

[@FMATTV1986]

Great videos brother as always. Had a question for you that I needed help with. It's about amplifier power matching to speakers. Why when Dyno testing amps with sine waves we get the rated power usually but when testing music, we get about like Half the rated power. Should we then buy an amplifier that is double the power for the speakers to get the most from them? Eg. Dyno on amp sine wave 1khz 500 rms. Midrange speaker is 500rms continuous. But when playing music, the amp fluctuates around 200 to 250 rms music power. So should I get an amp that is like 1000rms so the music power will be around the 500rms continuous for the speakers ? Thanks for any feedback.

[@HifiVega]

You can do that if you’re aware of what you’re doing, but a sine wave will give you a consistent output simply because there is no variation. Music on the other hand can go from very low output to very high output in a matter of seconds so what you’re really doing is guarding from the peaks on music. That being said anything rebassed will kind of act like a sine wave and keep that output very high so at the end of the day you have to consider all the factors when picking an amp. Going by recommended RMS is usually a pretty safe bet.

[@FMATTV1986]

@@HifiVega thanks alot for the response. I'm looking more into the midrange. We have some 10s that are 500rms continuous but when the system is at full tilt, the max we get is around 250 rms fluctuating. I'll try a more powerful amp and see how it goes. Thanks again for your response 🙏

[@Bassotronics]

Did pretty much rated power, looks nice and not too big. Very good modern amplifier.

[@RandomRichZ]

i neeeeeded that amp!!

[@mr.18s73]

Bigg Jeff buying all the promos!

[@kirbyforeman1834]

Too bad he jacks up the msrp 20% to make his stuff look cheaper. Look around, and you will consistently see better prices elsewhere.

[@donaldwilcoxjr.5212]

Could you do a vlog on mid bass ....6.5s 8in etc. ...I am looking to put some in my system...have a component set....but want something a little punchy so to speak in the mid bass range .....as always great info ....thi k I will stick with my jp23v1.5 for now ...but could be a great amp to start with

[@mullinperformanceaudio5902]

Not a bad amp to start a system out on. I feel like if you can deal with those amp connections, you can deal with anything.

[@HifiVega]

2000 watts was the end goal back in the day lol

[@dead6last]

my stock charge voltage is over 15v 2012 silverado, it goes to 14.8 after a few minutes

[@HifiVega]

The amp will turn itself on when it dips below 15v in my experience

[@cartycartyamplifiersalesrepair]

Great job keep up the good work sir 👍 👍 🙏 🙏

Love your videos

Thank you!

[@girthquake9655]

For that money and power, just spend your money on cab-22. Awesome video btw Hifi

[@HifiVega]

The BD still wins in looks tho!

[@RAW_Reality]

Hmmm... Cab-22 vs CT-2000.1D... Aesthetics or clip light... 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

[@danruffing5057]

Thanks for the Dyno! Been waiting on this amp to be reviewed as I have one in my suv. And the 15volt shut off is actually a problem for me the 06 and newer gms go over 15 volts alot so mine goes into protect alot because of this.

[@danruffing5057]

Oh, and I meant to ask you if you know what uncertified output was and dynamic by chance?

[@HifiVega]

This was uncertified up to clipping

[@danruffing5057]

Ok thanks

[@erik120719]

​@@danruffing5057 p103 module and old style alternator ( 4 pin style) and all fixed. Had to in my 08, voltage drop ecm commands alt to charge full force and over volts amps. All direct fit stuff, best upgrade ive done.

[@danruffing5057]

​@@erik120719i just seen your comment thanks for the info. I actually have already put a 250amp 4 pin the p103 and p101 i believe it was the part# from mechman . It still goes into protect for about 1 second whenever i give it gas from idle ,it jumps to 15 flat and charges at 14.5 after. But I'm buying a taramps bass 5k tomorrow so shouldn't be an issue after that since it operates up to 17v.

[@paulgood2218]

Congratulations Darren

[@Soulgasm08]

Good looking amp.

[@HifiVega]

I agree

[@JAHblu.Rasta.Far.I]

This amp is an exact copy of the ct sounds 2000.1d . I have it an it puts out more power then this brand .looks like it came from the same build house as skar just like ct sounds.

Waaack my alt runs over 15v till it warms up

Aw dang..... another big jeff promo. 🤣. No fires like parker.. ok?

The magic smoke must remain within the amp

@@HifiVega I think I trust the amp you're testing over a marts whatever amp that was.

Even with his promo codes you can get the stuff cheaper elsewhere lol.

Dang it not bridgeable

[@shilosound]

5min 25sec. Efficiency 44%????! It’s impossible. It’s not correct

[@HifiVega]

The conductor is not fast enough to calculate efficiency that’s why I didn’t. It’s probably closer to 60+ in practice
