Budget amp DESTROYs the competition?

[@audiokeller1975]

I fixed several amps and also dynoed these and the guts of this amp look very good 👍 i think you shouldn’t be disappointed, it depends on your test signal, I guess you tested continuous at 40Hz? That’s the problem - these values are the hardest test for the amps power supply, so you get these “low” numbers. Todays amp manufacturers rate their amps continuously and max power which are burst signals with 1 kHz and 20ms which is the Eia standard. This represents the dynamic ability of an amp by using a test signal with higher crest factor which is like simulating music. Even pro audio amp manufacturers are rating like this today because they don’t use them to reproduce one low bass frequency but live music.That is not new even in the mid 90s Rockford stated that you don’t listen to resistors so they also rate their amps with the power cube to simulate phase shifts and they use the same 1kHz burst signal. I test the amps in several ways , continuous and dynamic that’s the only way to compare them to each other. In my videos i Show also My test sheets which test procedure leads to a specific wattage. I guess your amp has very good dynamic abilities 👌 Sorry for my English I’m in Germany 😅

[@onesikm3]

Yes friend this amp does excellent on music dynamically! The rail capacitors are a give away that it’s going to be nice under music all you got to do is count them puppies 😊

I've been really happy since I started using non insulated ferrule end terminals for the majority of my direct wire connections. Not having to worry about that 1 rebel positive wire strand grounding out on something down the road gives me that extra piece of mind.

If grabbing something in that price range, I like the Recoil RED1200.1 Clip light on the bass knob, similar power. It's still no JP, but it's also a lot less $

[@Vegas_Baba808]

I don't get the inflated power ratings that some manufacturers still seem to do in order to secure a sale from the uninformed. You'd think there would be some kind of regulatory agency that should monitor and enforce advertising practices for consumer electronics. While this is a relatively inexpensive amp that appears to do 1400W RMS, the size of that monstrosity doesn't justify that cost...

[@DIYAudioGuy]

There is an industry standard. Of course the only manufacturers that follow the standard were the ones that were already accurately rating their products. Also, Keep in mind that maybe it can do more than 1400, I was pushing the upper limits of my setup.

[@superpossum78]

Not much regulation and oversight involved with what are essentially toys. Maybe if more cars catch on fire the insurance companies will have the govt step in...

From my limited experience with amp guts, thguts here look VERY stout, really similar to much higher rms rated amps. I believe this one is capable of much more with revised power supply and addition of rail caps. 5-7k rms

I am also willing to conceded that my test bench does not have the juice to push it to its full potential. But it is not 6k amp.

[@onesikm3]

But the internals look so beefy man what is your power source ? I’ve only been following you for a few months so I’m not up to speed or if you mentioned it in the video as well it slipped by me. It’s possible bottlenekcing due to too high of an amp draw and it limits the current output ? Have you seen higher numbers from other amps tested ?

For 20 bucks more get the 9000d. Just bought one seems to at least put out more than 2000 rms

Typically these max or peak power ratings seem about 4x actual RMS. Which in this case says 6000, puts out 1500. I bet the 9000 is the common 2000watt amplifier board that most china amps use. If that's the case dynamically it should put out well over 2k which is hard to beat for 150$

@@DIYAudioGuy yes you’re correct if they rated the 6000 as a 1200 and the 9000 as a 1500 that would be very modest and people would buy more products that eat. If someone needs 6000 or 9000 watts and picks this amp, they’re going to send it back or toss it to the side and never use the brand again. Where as if you need 1200 and that’s what you get for the price, I’d the amp last as good as it looks and performs in that rms range, than that’s a return customer all day long!
