It's good to hear these amplifiers are putting out the power and not just MAX ratings on the box.

[@stereomojo]

@@EZShop76 yeah, at least they gave us some truthful RMS ratings

[@BDauto86]

I always drop a comment atleast trying to help. The channel feels genuine, dont lose that cuz i feel like thats where ppl lose interest. Theres so much false/bad or paid information out there, we need more legit solid information.

[@murrayshekelberg9754]

Definitely think an "amp of the week" would help grow a channel fast. There comes a point, I suppose, that the video makes many times more than the value of the amp.

[@stereomojo]

@@murrayshekelberg9754 yes, that would be nice. For now, it helps pay for them, but I’m not making enough to completely pay for them. This is why I usually buy cheaper amps. Maybe I can eventually make enough to buy a wider price range of amps and give them away too! We’ll see! Thanks!

[@earnestmatlock9694]

Back in the day (past late 80's-early 90's virtually no one had an amp that would come close to that level of performance. I still don't have near that in my truck. Power - Buck ratio is pretty good with that sub amp. Thanks for the straight up video 👍👍👍. 73 Earnest k5ewm.

[@stereomojo]

@@earnestmatlock9694 yeah, my first amp was 80 watts and my 2nd amp was a 140. lol

[@earnestmatlock9694]

@@stereomojo true indeed, I started off with 25 watts per channel bridged out on a low 2 ohm impedance with a 12" dual vc sub with 4 ohm coils. I put a switch to break circuit to one side vc to operate in 4 ohm impedance normal. But when I wanted to jam out for very brief time period, flip the switch and make that cone move. LoL of course it helps to build that sealed small box bigger and add Polly fill and make absolutely certain the box is absolutely air tight no leaks at all. I had a blast but that poor amp caught hell. LoL. 73 Earnest k5ewm.

Afternoon Joe, man this heat is nuts. It was 113 degrees in Sacramento yesterday when I got a call from my oldest son that there was an issue with his HVAC unit in his house. 97 degree inside temp I crawled into the furnace room and changed out the blower motor that went over temp and failed. Being an automotive diagnostician did not persuade me from using my skills on an AC application, lol. Lent him my loaner car to do his job doing Door Dash because the air conditioner is better and gets more mpg than a 94 Toyota T100. Thinking he could use an audio upgrade for sure and since I have the 2 Diamond Audio 12's, he could use this amp to run them. I already have the WA-2K for my build whenever that happens. Be cool if I could surprise him with a little audio upgrade. Btw, all labor and parts were out of my pocket for his HVAC repairs. Techs are weeks out due to the heatwave here and I knew enough to diag and repair. Total repair bill $259.11. Find that price anywhere. Love the content brother, keep it going!

[@robcooper3171]

Solid little Amp the 1000 is the same way, will make some power as well. EVL will start the Trend to mid range Premium Subwoofers from Skar.

[@stereomojo]

Yeah, I don’t see many people start out with the ix subs. SDRs seem to be entry level for sure

[@robcooper3171]

@stereomojo I typically look at it this way and you probably do as well. If it's a stamped steel basket, it is a Budget or entry level subwoofer. If it has a nicely constructed Aluminum Basket it is not entry level, it would be Mid-Tier. If it costs more than $499 each reputable brand and high power handling I'd consider it to be premium. If its over $999.99 I would call it Competition Subwoofer, not something that a Normal individual will go out and Buy. You'll find that a biggest Majority of sales happens between the $200 mark and $600 for most any car audio Item.

[@stereomojo]

@@robcooper3171 yes, that seems right! Lol

[@murrayshekelberg9754]

Not a bad little amp and stock electrical friendly. I see the SDRs as entry level as well. I have had those and SVRs and I liked the SVRs quite a bit better. The SVRs I ran took some serious abuse and were still working when I pulled them after about 3 years. I believe that the flat rate boxes cover Alaska and Hawaii. I used to buy from a merchant in HI and always received my stuff in the flat rate box. Not sure other than that.

[@stereomojo]

@@murrayshekelberg9754 that’s cool! I have a single SVR 8” and it does seem to be better! I’m going to check into the Hawaii and Alaska thing. Thanks!

[@JasonWW2000]

Another comment for the algorithm. Looking at the guts, I don't see anything special. It's half bridge Class D. No input filtering which is typical of cheap amps. So it might put a little noise into the cars electrical system. It's not always noticeable, though. It looks like that PCB was made specifically for that company, which is a good thing. It made a little more than its rated power so they probably Dyno tested this model before writing up the manuals. That's a good sign The heavier components look to be glued down pretty well. I don't see a reverse polarity protection diode. Overall, it looks like your typical entry level amplifier. Nothing special, but will probably get the job done.

@@JasonWW2000 thanks Jason! I like it for the money. The 1k model is a better deal though.
