[@stevencarlson5422]

Man I love that old design it would’ve bumped back then, also the guts are so beautiful I feel like it needs a nice acrylic piece to see the insides

[@Adam-nv9zo]

I can never get enough of the old school testing. Great video as always Big D!!!

[@ehrenkrause9861]

Nice little amp. Not mega power but still does the job. Imagine a couple of old Rockford punch series 10s running at 8 ohms. The good old days

[@joysticksalami1892]

Never thought i would see a Magnat Amp on this Channel lol. These Amps are still and were very cheap back then. You can get these in Germany often used for around 10 Euros or less. Sometimes even for free. Magnat Amps are also considerd very low end and are very hated on the german hifi-forum. Nevertheless interesting video, always wondered how these cheap Magnat Amps perform in an Amp Dyno Test.

[@godzillasballs]

If that’s low end, can’t imagine high end

[@volvo09]

@@godzillasballs yeah, I would have loved to have that over my first pyramid amp!

[@dampfbucke]

Not absolutely low end, but they are excellent additional electric heaters :)

[@jimsellers6911]

Love the old school stuff

[@TheDjitalDawg]

Those are old Motorola BD 250C(PNP) and 249C(NPN) Silicon. Rated for 125W, 25A. First number being the date of mfg. - 9102 = 2nd week of 1991, 9144 = 44th week of 1991. Pretty close on the estimate of 1990! Ahhhhhh, the good ole days!! Once a basshead, always a basshead. Keep the good stuff coming, Big D. Love the vids, you Big Dummy!

[@edawge-zeloy1755]

Interesting how through the years these amps and not so popular companies are given life through your channel, great vid man , amp looks well put together for its age , this is why I love this channel 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@dyslectische]

Magnat really sell good in the Europe . Even overpower Pioneer or Sony . The magnat classic its the budget serie . Magnat edition. Magnat hot-rod Even the magnat speakers are great . In Europe u use. Pioneer , Sony , magnat , hifonics. Budget setup are. Philips , Boschman , boss and blauwpunk. Cheap junk (yes even people use it ) Supertech , us-blaster , stealth .

[@jaydawg4065]

Couldn't wait to watch this video after I got off work. Thank you so much for the videos. I even told a guy at a fast food restaurant about your channel today after work.

[@ericcockrel7154]

Holly crap- that thing is built!!! Impressive lil amp..... Great Review Video 👍

[@408SPLKINGS]

Thanks Big D Wiz for all your hard work, audio, video, commentary, testing & editing 👌 NO chance of that amp getting pregnant with all that protection 😬

[@leblancguillaume8226]

this is a very well made old school amp

[@550n440]

Fun to watch the shorter style amp tests as well, and I love the extras!

[@michaelbloom5342]

Man, that's not bad at all! Very comparable to something like an Orion 280gx. And that's nothing to be ashamed of!

[@raymo6795]

Thanks Florian, Great vid Big D...I am a big Euro fan, I buy mostly Helix/Brax for my current installs, Eton Steg , Micro Precision, or German Maestro speakers. I avoid Chinese when I can. Too bad so many great American brands sold out to cheap Chinese slave labor...The list of once great American brands that have sold out is too long to list...I will scour eBay for some MAGNAT gear to add to my collection of non Asian made gear....shout out to TRU, Mmats, D'Amore and Linear Power for maintaining American pride and integrity

[@jody024]

Thats a throwback! Nice to see.

[@matthewelliott2213]

Clearly, copper was way cheaper back then. Good looking internals! Great content---that's a rare one in the states!

[@raymo6795]

Mmats, TRU, Linear Power and D'Amore....bring a credit card

[@junkyardhemi]

Very cool video Big D. Old Skool foreign stuff is awesome!!!

[@audio_and_diy]

Looks Like a DIY Kit Back in the days, nice looking Guts

[@nunyabizznizz7326]

love the old school stuff, big D for the win👍👍

[@keithholtsclaw2604]

I remember seeing the speakers back in the day but the amp is a new one on me.

[@JoGun88]

I have one of these too, but in a seller Variation with printed acrylic front panal. Looks good. Sound ist OK, not too bad, but not realy good. The good thing about them is that for the most part they were tough and reliable. Good and cheap devices for small subwoofers.

[@HoUsEoFcAtS78]

That's a nice piece!

[@yeahididit9054]

Back in 1990 that was good power. On some Pyle 12’s or a bazooka 10” or 2 8” ya were bumping.

[@ashadams4722]

love the videos

[@samueljackson2478]

I wish Big D if you could find a Xetec Gravity Amplifier to test these Amps are a Beast and very underated.

[@purplehazeffc]

Would love to see this recapped & new thermal paste applied to see if there is any difference.. Did you get a chance to put a set of speakers on it? These old A/B amps were mainly built with sound quality in mind than just raw output numbers..

[@dlcarburetor]

Very cool

[@TRONMAGNUM2099]

Old school amp built with quality in mind. You should think about restoring that amp. Wouldn't be hard since it is single sided. The aluminum would look nice if it was polished.

[@mullinperformanceaudio5902]

That build quality is giving me Rockford 15k vibes for some reason.

[@saschacubexyz]

Whuhuuu....that's a really old amp☺️ I saw sooo many rides with Magnat inside, here in Germany.....most of them whith the classic 360.....🤷‍♂️ I heard in one customer car a classic 1000 on the biggest Phonocar Thunder bandpass Subwoofer I was a bit disappointed because she was so big but not as strong as she looks🤔 Of course we were able to solve the "problem" 😬then the Thunder got the right punch😉😉😉😉 if you test it anytime, you'll definitely see why 😬 Keep it up, Big D

[@crxxpslvyr7887]

Also mac audio

[@saschacubexyz]

@@crxxpslvyr7887 oooh yes🤣🤣 Crazy time🤣

[@beemackin2316]

Nice amplifier

[@z1berzerker]

Reminds me of High School 🏫 😅

[@justinduffey9237]

Those are Motorola BD249C. Looks to be 125W, 25A

[@kiklop8362]

Yeah, easy to see the M

[@nunyabisness4300]

Thanks for saying “anyway” instead of “anyways”. People using anyways as a word make me scream. 😮

[@gamerpaddy]

magnat once made a huge subwoofe called the omega 530... a 21 inch in a huge box for home use. basically as a tv shelf. saw it as a kid in a tech shopping center, impressive since it was so huge. not many sold since it was like 2k bucks and no one had space for it. that brand was allways and still is known for reasonably priced stuff that isnt the worst out there... tight budget but want a 5.1 speaker set? grab magnat (or teufel in the later days). nothing was really ever terrible, but mostly on the lower end. there was allways someone how did better for less. they are still around making stuff, at the usual consumer tech store quality that isnt great but wont make you return it immediately. Magnat had and still has a car hifi sub-company called mac audio. lowest quality crap back then and today.

[@Nickword1]

Would push some old school pioneer impp's very well

[@pinsandscrews6459]

Hey BigD, honest question, at 4:06 you mentioned pushing in the Mono button, I am just wondering if you also pushed in the Woofer button next to it? If you didn't, would it have made a difference if you had?

[@wal2]

I honestly don’t recall

[@only126db]

2:23 Is that the wire used for rca ground noise?

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

Wowww no “dooo it bump dohhhhh?””””

[@JeanKatana]

Are'nt these transistors "Motorola 9102 and 9144"? I see the symbol of Motorola there.

[@andybrewster25]

Where do you find your old school amps? Craigslist, facebook?

[@wal2]

Facebook and eBay primarily. I also have a lot of contacts as well.

[@phillipbainbridge9107]

Those outputs are BD249C with complementary BD250C. Not exactly something I see very often.

[@monosurge]

BD's are common European counterparts. TIP35/36 should replace these.

[@alistermccallum]

You know it's old when it says made in West Germany.

[@robtremble2277]

It didn't bump enough to do a segment

Somehow it's powered by a crystal and has unlimited power
