Crunch GP-2000.2 Overview and Amp Dyno

[@Mark_5150]

The industry needs to start a class action lawsuit for false advertisement to stop these companies. The only way that amp would hit "rated power" is if it was hit by lightning.

[@stereomojo]

Wouldn’t that be something? It’s sad, but I can tell when I sell these things that people want the ones that claim big numbers more. Even when we get in a discussion about the real output.

[@barnes29510]

Appreciate explaining the HP - LP/Hertz! It's the simple things that I'm reminded of in my older years is just mind blowing 😅

[@stereomojo]

No problem. I didn’t understand the crossovers for a long, long time.

[@diegoalta03]

Thank you friend for showing your incredible tests on the amplifiers, and thus discovering their real power ratings. Greetings from Diego from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@stereomojo]

Aw man, Argentina! That’s cool! Thanks Diego!!

[@delamarhamilton7225]

Thank you doing amps most others aren't even looking to touch. For me tho, i would get a 4 channel for a little more, like the recoil. You get more power for the 2 channels and you get an extra 2 channels where you can bridge to a small sub, wish i had these videos when i was just starting out, alot of time wasted lol

[@stereomojo]

No problem! Yes, I agree.

[@Special.Purpose.Weapon]

Sad , sad indeed . Not as sad as the SSL from a few vids back but , still sad . Great vid as always . The fuse math told me all that I needed to know . Under perfect conditions the amp should have only been capable of 432 watts at 14.4 volts max . It couldn't even do that at 14.8 . Good to see these cheaper Amazon amps tested . 👍 (edit) I dunno , it is actually as bad , double the wattage claim of the SSL and only double what the SSL did per channel 😂😂

[@stereomojo]

Yeah, you can’t even properly push a couple of entry level subs with it

[@colorblind1983]

Great video! Have you seen the Crunch PZ2-1530.2D? It’s an interesting looking class D two channel amp. Small, inexpensive with 4gauge power and ground.

[@stereomojo]

Thanks! The only PZ2 that I’ve done is the PZ2-4030.1D and it didn’t do as good as I had hoped.

[@barnes29510]

Wow!! Budget friendly isn't too friendly! I mean it's insane how far off the numbers are! Ridiculous. The local sound shop here is selling the 1000w mono (I think) for $99.99! Heartbreaking, right?

[@stereomojo]

Yeah, I know right! The 3500.1 put out decent power, but it was still way overrated.

[@shaferualhunt9129]

Hello really Appreciate what u doing and your channel but a lot of people do play below 40hrz including myself and a lot of what people want to play and listen to is 40hrz and below on subs.

[@stereomojo]

Yeah, we play below 40 in my Son’s Tahoe all the time. I was just saying most people set their LPF around 80-100 hz and the amp will play from 80-100 and all the way down. It won’t stop at 40.

[@jamesbradyjr8067]

Wow I've never had a problem with mine. It's pushing 2 12s at 1600 watts each.

[@anthonytheguyman4296]

I just got a dual 12’ sub and I have a boss amp with 1100 watts that’s heating up hella, got any tips?

[@truthbeknown23]

150 watts isn't pushing anything...well maybe a 30$ sub from Walmart.

[@jermainbrown8994]

I bought the gp1000 had it on a single 10 and it sounded ok but it had to go

[@binxthecat6112]

One 30 amp fuse does not equal 2000 watts lol that's crazy I have a infinity reference 10001a and it has three 35 amp fuses

[@martinez1701a]

Damn what happened to that brand, I have an old Crunch Powerzone PZI2250 first model that made it's RMS power. Now everything from Crunch makes about 1/8 of it's RMS lol.

[@stereomojo]

I know, right! There’s a lot of people that like the current ones, but they just don’t know better.

[@DustmanDiagnostics]

I'd personally pre-order a Welsh Audio WA-250.4🤔. Pretty sure my CT Sounds Meso components would agree.🦾

[@stereomojo]

Awe man, that would be cool!

[@c0uchsl0uch]

I think its cheaper for the company to just have all the amps use the same connection terminals , just make 1 size for all of that brand

[@stereomojo]

You’re probably right about that. Thanks

[@marcovaldovinos5009]

Great video

[@stereomojo]

Thanks Marco!

[@aarifsalim7593]

Im thinking on buying the crunch GP 2000.4 and running it on two 6 1/2 coax and two 6x9 coax or do you reccomend sum else?

[@stereomojo]

It’ll work for that

[@aarifsalim7593]

is it a good long term amp?

[@martinez1701a]

Get yourself a Taramps DS 440x4, it's about the same price ($85) and it actually makes it's power (110rms @2ohms) and it's little less than half the size so you can stick it anywhere.

[@aarifsalim7593]

@@martinez1701a thank you so much bro

[@frankr8271]

The 1st version had much higher SNR and was much better and then they got greedy.

[@mattcarter7400]

I need some advice on a good amp, I’m running two kenwood kfc-w112s ( 800watt max 200rms/400rms max) i have the speakers wired in parallel they are 8ohms so they should be at 4ohms, I have a pioneer gm5500t if I’m not mistaken the amp supports 400rms x 1, but still feels like the sub needs more power, I could be mistaken too, first time running two 12s I use to run a single 10”

[@stereomojo]

What’s your budget for a monoblock amp?

[@waysthewildcard4102]

Good for tweeters! Crunch use to have a good name😢

[@stereomojo]

I remember wanting some Crunch subs back in the early 90’s

[@rodrigov9571]

Maybe a 2ch or 4ch amp int the future?

I would not recommend this amp even if it was $39 the signal to noise ratio is probably terrible too

[@MrJetouchet]

So sad.

[@travishoel3755]

Waste of money

[@stereomojo]

Yeah, I wish it would’ve done a lot more

[@delamarhamilton7225]

Yeah, I was look at this amp when I was just starting out glad I didn't go with it

[@shawnsmith-wr5ri]

Garbage

[@k3rst.romain577]

Crunch and others like them should just make Brazilian style amps and quit with these junk amps..

[@stereomojo]

This kinda of power was acceptable about 30 years ago, but not by today’s standards

[@danrogers9945]

These are really gutless,terrible sounding amps!
