[@johndilauro7253]

Derek ,Great Video .!! Like always!! I would love to see you tear some of these Targa or ICE audio amplifiers in South African They claim outrageous claims like the Mustang and Pyramid Equalizer’s Still do I am talking 9000 watts,RMS they claim is 60X4 ?? How does that happen Some are Even as high as 30,000 even maybe 50,000 gigawatts lmao I would love to see what these items amp Dyno at lmao Anyways I believe that with Class D technology These Temu and cheaper amplifiers will make their rates power sometimes .But when if you tested a Class A/B ? It would most likely fail Class D makes it easy and cheap To create digital power

[@cliffcorbitt9494]

Actually you have already sold out your information if you have tiktok or venmo

[@guysgt5003]

Down 4 sound amps are way worst than this TEMU amp. This thing is actually a newer design. The junk from JP are ancient design he just knocked off from other china amps.

[@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128]

​@@guysgt5003would you care to elaborate on your previous comment?? I'm very interested in hearing how & why you think that this TEMU amp is superior to the various variety of D4S JP amps. @guysgt5003 how is this 5 Channel 'BEMINES' amp "a newer design amp than the JP95"??? I can't wait for you to reply so I can gain some knowledge from you. Afterall did you fail to notice this TEMU amp does not even have a bass remote?! Hmm this cheap Chinese 5 Channel 'BEMINES' amp somehow utilizes a more "advanced design" when compared to the South Korean D4S JP amps 😂 oh for some reason I think @guysgt5003 truly believes what he commented 😅 NOW IF HE'D JUST ELABORATE AND EXPLAIN WHY THE CHEAP 'BEMINES' AMP IS SUPERIOR TO THE SOUTH KOREAN HALF BRIDGE JP AMPS... (I'm doubting @guysgt5003 will even reply now, all crickets!)

[@nickn7939]

lol i wouldn't get an alpine amp off amazon, i would buy it from alpine bro

[@riccochet704]

It's might be anemic, BUT, it's putting out more juice than a lot of "premium" factory car audio systems. This with 4 speakers and a 10" DVC sub would sound worlds better than what you get in a lot of cars.

[@beardedgaming1337]

yea i mean 300w to sub. granted its 1ohm wich is very uncommon for a 5 channel amp in the name brand industry. but wattage of 300w into 2ohm is pretty much where 95% of the normal name brand 5ch amps sit at so... this isnt far off the mark at all.

[@lasskinn474]

4 x 100 is pretty nice. I think the fuses look like in our yaris. regular would be nicer.

[@russelldaniels1797]

Wow! Those little 40 amp mini blades are working overtime! That thing was putting out a thousand watts total with all channels maxed out. 👏 Could you imagine having a 5 channel amp with these capabilities for this price back in the 90s?

[@robsolf]

Absolutely not. Back then, a buck a (real)watt was a STEAL.

[@will400r]

Back in the early 2000s I got a Kenwood exelon 810d, still have it and it was 849 on sale

[@jessekuipers05]

1000/12= 83,33 so basically perfect size fuse

[@CarAudioEnthusiasts]

most importantly ...they listed the correct power! IT DOES ITS RATED POWER! that's a huge deal. Does rated power on a dyno, didnt explode, didnt sound like hot garbage, and cost 100 bucks.. lets take a minute to reflect on just how awesome that is.. where we were 10-15 years ago. Great job as always Big D!

[@masterbond9]

the correct power is listed, i hope its not just a fluke, but even the circuitry inside looks good. this was probably designed for a very small car in mind,

[@og-pretty]

When I saw those numbers printed on it I thought "dang either they are actually being honest or we are going to be looking at 20 watts per"

[@janrdoh]

Also it was probably built by 10 to 15 year olds which explains the low price.

[@xxskizzumxx]

I agree, Chinese reseller companies have very little incentive to be honest in their advertising, I always appreciate when they don't lie, good or bad

[@doraexplora9046]

You sound like a salesman for this board. But I totally agree with you. If I could get my car audio to sound like that based on a $100 amp. I'd be majorly happy. If you're really that stressed out about the low power on the base, it's not hard to put another inline power amp in. I give this thing an 8/10 given the cost and 'bang-for-'buck'. It's a car for peats sake. Anything better than a valve radio, in my opinion, is a major plus!

[@hookhousebeatz]

I'm not mad at it....other amp makers need to take notes

[@gabedaxe477]

Specially JL and their $500 amp with 300amp

[@hookhousebeatz]

I agree....I have a 300/4 that's not as good as this!​@@gabedaxe477

[@sushi3377]

but tbh this amp probably wont last for very long. the components in such amps are working on the edge to get this kind of performance. JL amps do their power for ages without even stressing or getting hot. they are meant to last, this one is meant to sell

[@hookhousebeatz]

@@sushi3377 I beg to differ. I bought a jl 300/4 brand new....used upon normal operation, two channels went out unexpectedly. All that money for a brand name amp not to last. I'll take my chances with this.

[@barevids]

Mental 😂 you could find this exact board from the likes of Crescendo, Digital designs, Soundigital, B2 Audio, for MEGA markup money. It's the sort of thing they'd release. Dual 2093M based class D with your standard SMPS found in almost all car amps. You can't really go wrong as the factory isn't designing the critical bits of the amplifier, that's all done and optimised by the chip manufacturers; the factory/brand just connects everything together. Will it be the best sounding amplifier ever? No... Will it last more than 5 years? Maybe not... Will it sound absolutely fine and get really loud with good efficiency? Yep!

[@adrianbennett9322]

It's quite astonishing how class D has made such abundant power, reasonable quality and tiny size the norm these days. This may not be the last word in quality, but I would guess its better designed than a lot of car brands OEM amplifiers, and more powerful too.

[@JasonWW2000]

I don't know about exact board, but maybe very similar. Lol

[@ruikazane5123]

I was just thinking of building my own amp using a few driver ICs (2092s perhaps) to put juice on my sub. Output buffers and more, stouter transistors won't hurt to be stable at 1 ohm, eh?

[@TheGodofSEO]

@@JasonWW2000 ok because Sam doesn’t know what he’s talking about bro. 🤣🤣

[@JasonWW2000]

​@@TheGodofSEOOh, you're not familiar are you? You see, Sam has a habit of saying that a amplifier circuit board is the "same" as this other brand. He doesn't mean literally that it's exactly the same, he means it's the same basic layout and design. I want the people who read these comments know what Sam meant when he said the boards are the "same".

[@johncameron4172]

I was reluctant to order anything from Temu. However, after I had ordered a couple things I was surprised. Their stuff is decent. Not bad. Definitely not bad at all for the price.

[@43one]

Dude! I've ordered some boots hats, and other things from temu! The boots got compliments at work, and people liked the hats also! Unlike cheaper Amazon hats, the temu hats are made of nicer material, and shaped better. I was shocked!

[@willsavard3696]

Of course, it’s not the best thing you can get, but I am impressed at that value for an all-in-one amp. Looks like a basic DSP would go along way with this amplifier.

[@Aar0n2009]

Blows my mind too. Cant even get these higher end companies to rate properly. But get one from Temu and be surprised lol

[@79huddy]

I'm pretty sure the parent company making these is the same company making wudi and facmogu amps or its the same build house just going off the board numbers

[@4BillC]

Not a bad amp for someone not looking for crazy bass. I'm surprised!

[@straitjacket525]

Yeah I have an Amp for my subs, I would add this to push my door speakers in my xj

[@mikewaters6339]

Amazing, I didn't think it'll do anything near that power. Great video my man. Just looked these up, they are $140 now. I believe there are better options available and you won't have to wait too long to get. Once again your knocking it out the park.

[@ferrarifast1429]

I ordered 4 amplifiers using the free gift program that Temu does. Two of them are Blaupunkt, one of them is a Kuerl 4 chan, and the other is a nameless 1 channel. THEY ALL CLAMP RMS!!!! It's very surprising!!!

[@Swindez95]

Arguably the chip style amps can achieve better sound results as they usually switch from 400khz all the way up to 1mhz I believe whereas discrete style mosfet class d full range is around 250khz.

[@thatdude8247]

Lol the first time I saw an amp on the website I laughed and said in my head " let's see what big D says about that" I've been wanting to see this without being the dude that asked for it 😂 it don't seem like a bad little amp and went low ohm without giving up the 👻

[@joshholden8561]

They have actual good amps 1500 2k 3 5 7 k models and u can see share the same board as allot of main brand amps.

I was so waiting to see 2 ohm bridged on the main channels... we need some torture testing.

[@89G]

Thanks for checking in on this one. I've been wondering if it was worth rolling the dice on Temu audio stuff. Here's an example of why it could be a steal, because we all know, Temu is hit and miss.

[@JasonWW2000]

Just remember that Temu is not a brand, it's a marketplace similar to eBay or Amazon. So you still have to choose the right brand.

[@89G]

I'm shocked--Temu isn't Etsy for sure. I would have bet on flea market amp power!

[@bytchslappa]

A lot of products on Temu are fine - sure you might get the odd dud - but this even happens with big name brands!.. As for this AMP - its probably made by one of the many whitelabel amp builders that also build amps for other major brands. as for limited crossover settings or remote amp - most headunits provide all this stuff (unless your working it into an OEM system).. Ive run a few headunits (android based) and the setup and functionally built into these is impressive when it comes to the sound setup. Crossovers, time alignment, bass adjustments, EQ's etc etc..

Interesting little amp. I'd think it would benefit from some cooling being as some as it is. The numbers are pretty good given the price really. Long as it sounds semi decent. It's only $100.

[@RyanBassForLife]

Wow thats way more powerful than my 4 channel Pionner amplifier 😮

[@sketchyssk8shop]

It does what they said it would do. It's a reasonable price. Why not use it in a car or a boat that's easy to break into. I just need enough to fill up a small 80s single cab mini truck with hard hitting metal.

[@dougmasters3875]

I don't hate it. I'm not going to run out and replace my PDX-V9 with it, but it would do alright in my Mini Cooper with the Kicker Slim 12".

[@WilliamBonac-h2c]

Noticing the voltage drop and how the amp reacts makese think it needs a capacitor. Or a very strong electrical system so the voltage stays at or above 14.4 volts.

he had even 8k rms with amplifiers, idk why it has this drop with 80 amps draw

[@6mariooo235]

[@johncoops6897]

The voltage sag that you see in the dyno screen is the voltages supplied by BigD's power supply to the amplifier under test. . It has nothing to do with the amp itself, it's just that D never manages the voltages properly with his testing. So what you see on rhe dyno is what power it makes with whatever voltage he's feeding it during the test. . The difference between 14V and 14.4V sounds small, but it will change the power output at the square of the voltage... If 14V @ 2 ohms = 98W then 14.4V @ 2 ohms = 103.7W . Of course, in a normal car you won't usually see even 14V at the amplifier input terminals, so this technical stuff is only about comparing the power ratings in a fair and controlled way.

[@WilliamBonac-h2c]

@@johncoops6897 most low end amps have strange issues with the power supply. The amp itself seems fine as soon as the voltage increases the power does too. My only wonder is are Derek's batteries starting to die. I always saw over 14 at my amps.bit I am also the same person that for more than a decade has said stop looking at the charts for wire size and always go as big as your wallet will allow. Back when exo had Frankenstein I mentioned on one of his videos that he should upgrade the speaker wire to 4ga. and at the time he argued with me. Now he ran 4ga for the new build. I know I might sound out there from time to time but I have been messing around with car audio since Doug Bernards was 8 years old. Math and science is nice but they both require every single bit of info possible to give the best possible answer. You run bigger wire so you don't overtax it and cause a fire. If you plan on doing a demo vehicle do to the extended play time you have to overdue every bit of the build. You have to assume that something is going to happen instead of cutting any corners and waiting for it too happen.

[@rickross368]

@@JasonWW2000 I have a din size alpine head unit & I only have to push 2 different buttons to get to sub level. So it's not that much of a problem in my case.

[@johncoops6897]

This amp DOES have a bass level control. It just doesn't have a *_remote_* bass control. . Seems totally unnecessary for normal folk, since who needs to adjust the bass level for every song? . Every head unit has Bass and Treble, and/or EQ so you can adjust it there if you must fiddle around. You might be better normalizing the tracks you are playing, so they have a more constant volume and bass that you desire. That will then apply for every time you play them! . Or if you really need a remote control, it's trivial to add a attentuator onto the RCA line that's feeding down to the amp's sub channel.

Hahabetter than my fosgate separate tweeters lol so the alpine dome tweeters w xover is worth the 20$ 10out of10

[@ranchosdelnorte]

Those are definitely not real Alpines, you can find identical ones with other names on it. They just slap Alpine's logo on them, and put them in packaging made to look like what Alpine used. However, Alpine stopped using those purple-bluish boxes like 15 years ago. They still sound decent, being a silk dome tweeter. Before those, they uses to sell a different set of knockoff Alpine tweeters that were aluminum dome and they sounded horrible.

[@ranchosdelnorte]

Pretty much every company has been guilty of slapping a max number on the front of their product or packaging(reputable electronics giants like Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, and have even seen occasions where car audio legends like Kicker and Alpine have done it.) People only tend to call out those entry level brands, and the problem is that this results in unwarranted shaming towards people just getting into audio and are on a budget, who are going to be the ones buying them. It becomes more about gatekeeping, just because people aren't knowledgeable about something they're new to and don't spend big bucks right away, instead of focusing on the sneaky business practices themselves.

As for controlling the bass output, Temu also sells a low level bass remote that connects inline with the RCA inputs. It has two knobs, one for the volume level, and one for the crossover frequency. That will give full control of the sub section of the amp. I may very well use this amp in my Geo Metro as it's the perfect size and power output for my purposes.

I would avoid that if it has a crossover in it.

@@JasonWW2000 Why? It works like a ZK-MT21 amp. Gives more flexibility.

[@JasonWW2000]

@@T_Burd_75 I wasn't referring to the amplifier I was referring to the remote bass knob that you mentioned. If I were going to get a remote bass knob I would want it to be a simple, passive device.

[@T_Burd_75]

@@JasonWW2000 I know. But he mentioned in the review that the amp lacked a remote bass control knob, something that he didn't like. Since the sub section of the amp uses separate RCA inputs, that can be controlled by a controller connected inline with the RCA cables. And having level control and a variable sub crossover control, you can adjust what frequency you want the bass to kick in and how loud when it does. And you won't have to crawl under the seat with a tiny screwdriver to do it.

[@JasonWW2000]

@@T_Burd_75 Crawling under the seat to adjust the crossover point is a one-time job. You basically set it and forget it. The potential issue that you're not thinking of is that the active crossover circuitry built into the remote might add noise, distortion or clipping which the amplifier is going to amplify. I personally wouldn't take that risk. I'd rather keep the remote bass knob a simple passive device, a stereo potentiometer, and then have all the crossover circuitry done either in the amplifier or upstream in a DSP. That's just me, though. Maybe the particular device you're talking about is perfectly fine and isn't going to cause any problems. I can't think of any practical use for adjusting the crossover frequency in the remote, though. I would probably just set the frequency and then hot glue the knob in that position so I don't accidentally change it. By the way, what is the name or model of the remote knob you're talking about?

[@regankeeth2687]

Thanks for doing this. Ive looked at the amps on temu quite a bit and always figured the numbers were inflated and im sure most are. I feel like u got lucky picking that one.

[@JasonWW2000]

Yes, every brand could be very different from one another.

[@sirmartinez5276]

My biggest concern on cheap brand amps is not really wether they do rated power or not, the question is how long can they do it for? RELIABILITY is the big question here. What good does it do if it can do rated power but goes up in smoke a week later. Then those $100 were thrown away

[@JasonWW2000]

Correct, there are many factors involved besides power. You've got reliability, all the various protection circuits, features, the noise floor, the sound quality, whether it's going to inject noise into your automobile, etc... Lots of things, but it making rated power is a really good first test that most amplifiers are not able to pass.

😂 Big D... you rock 🎸 💪 gotta try bumpn sumthn

[@fortyfukinseven]

Overall, I'm cool with the performance, but i agree that buying from a site like that is risky. It would be a fun little amp to stuff into a power wheels for your kid or something.

[@________GHOST________]

A nice review here but will I buy one NO😂

[@andsanluis80]

Hello big fan of your here. Would you review the Rockford fosgate t3 19 inch subwoofer. There are no real reviews of this sub out there they way you can thoroughly review. Thanks for your time and attention...

[@bigchungus-oj8zz]

Thank you for testing a “Temu” amp, I was really curious about the quality and the truth in numbers. You da man!!!
