12,000 Watts? Testing the Soundigital Evo 12000.1D Through the NEW SMD QR-1 Neo Magnet Terminals

visit: www.stevemeaded... - Join our fun, friendly and knowledgeable community today!
NOTE** any buzzing you hear in this video is NOT the amp! It is the POWER SUPPLY! that thing is annoying. I need to find an isolated spot to put it so i don't have to hear that...for now though i will just deal with it.
I have spent the last month dealing with some unfortunate events as well as having a lot of work to do...and also family visiting from Florida (momma Meade). It's been hectic! Rest in peace ROCK :( Pet your dog today and tell them you love 'em because they never last long enough. Rock made it 13 years which is very good for a Rotty. We will miss him tremendously..many of you have been around and seen him over the years. Time flies!
Finally, after working morning noon and night to improve my products, i got a chance to test this Soundigital EVO 12000.1D. Since i just released my brand new version of the SMD QR-1 and also QR-2 (coming this week!) i figured i would also see if they could handle that much power. Find out if they did by watching! Also, Every product we make at the shop (fuse holders, distro bars etc) is available in those neon color combo's! They really glow under a black light!

peep some of the changes i made to the QR-1 (and the new QR-2) here. Also, remember, EVERYTHING we make a the shop (all fuse holders, distro bars, speaker terminals etc) can be done in multiple color combo's including the white base/neon top like shown in this video. Sky's the limit on what we can do! I can even put your company logo on it. Everything we have ever made is 1000% improved over previous models! we are getting better at this! :) HDPE Playboard baseplates (available in 4 colors red, blue, black, and white) is almost indestructible and with a nice acrylic topper it is now on another level. Visit www.wccaraudio.com (new stuff will be added this week)

Thx for showing the mirrors and the candles on Instagram. Watched this couple times for ya bro thx!

[@jasonghering4389]

Can one of those quick release handle my taramps md8k no problem. I called your shop the other day to get info on your speaker terminals and order one lol. I know your insanely busy all the time. I love the black/blue one. I'm gonna order that one.

[@mikemccabe7124]

Sorry for your loss.. I just lost my queensland scout this past year and my oldest and favorite dog buddy that has a similar story as ur beautiful husky has been by my side for a real long time and is getting old in age and starting to show it which has taught me alot in how not to take it for granted because everyday I have with him I'm extra thankful and truely blessed once again sorry for your loss it's never easy

[@williamhudson1751]

Imperior amplifier

[@mase7207]

what happened with the 20k?

[@meade916]

I am planning on TORTURING the new terminals till they fail (if i can get them too) before i re-rate them officially. The new design is really working well! they had a major upgrade which allows a lot more juice to flow and the idea is proving itself! The new pull strap makes it easier to remove too. I will probably go live on my instagram channel during some of the testing so follow me there for midweek live streaming! instagram.com/meade916 thanks for watching!

Oh Steve, man I'm sorry to hear about your buddy Rock, It'll break my heart when my "Buddy" passes, - they become much more than just pets, more like Kids or a best friend. A tear for Rock and a smile for remembering the good times.

Dang that is crazy! 0 gauge wire wiggling like that. Thats more than 800 amps going through that cable in bursts...

[@treydaypnw]

Mane look, Soundigital ain't No joke! They serious about this Bass shit! But the King is the man himself Steve Meade!

Thanks Steve!! Mine was already on the way but glad to know it will take the pain anyways!

never have i seen 0 awg wires twitch . that thing was sucking some serious juice , but 12,000 rms , its got balls.

[@leonbrown4909]

He tested a DCºAudio 9k and it did the same thing

[@ForwardWolf-Hobbies]

....At 627 amp draw on music......thats not an amplifier its a welder....

[@paulchristiansen7014]

reminds me of Amps from US AMPS back in the day...

[@Van1018s]

I have 3 of their evox 35k. I’ve clamped 1 at a draw of 3107 amps. I have 5 3ks on highs. lol. My total draw full tilt is about 10,000 amps. I have around $16,000 into alts and lithium and it’s not really enough.

[@jasonjackson329]

Btw adding that pull tab That was super smart. Cause it was needed for sure with the strength of those earth magnets. Perfect addition

oh is 12 cents a watt too much for ya?

[@southernoverdrive09]

Soundigital Evo 12000.1D is no joke! That shits crazy

[@That_Car_Kidd]

I've never watched one of your videos in my car until today but that intro bumps dude

[@cfmechanic]

Thanks for this test that amp is a beast. I have been curious if dual feeds made anymore power. Your test shows yes it does but not 100s of watts. I been wondering about running dual 0 ga to my amp but looks like I'm not loosing a ton of power with one run. Thanks. Those terminals really held up well. Looking forward to next one as always.

[@meseyoungboy]

I was just 4 months older when rock died. 😢 he's a heaven dog.

[@williams6550]

Damn, that's crazy. Those terminals are freakin sweet too man!

[@rasbas_0323]

Can’t stop looking at the pride sub in the backround🤤

[@deeg4n000]

The straps to pull them off easier is the shit Steve.. i had a hell of a time pulling my old ones off imma order these soon.

[@meade916]

the older one's aren't hard if you know the technique :D If you don't...ya it's a bitch :D

[@Evilthx]

Every twitch of the cables was dimming the lights in a 2 block radius of the shop lol.

[@ramonrodrigues9573]

sempre assisti vídeo SMD, ver ele elogiar produtos do Brasil e bom de mais parabéns pelo canal e sou seu fã, triste não poder ter um de seus produtos :\

Wow that QR-2 in that green would be spot on for my trunk build. Definitely under rated wire twitch FTW I call that no joke power flowing. I call that a win - Keep up the goods bro!!

[@marcallenmitchell7666]

[@joshogle5067]

Just curious do u ever sale any of the stuff collecting dust on the shelves in the shop?

[@willgilbert6900]

I just put 2 of the evo4.0 12k amps in they definitely made my american bass godfather 15s come to life

[@staywhite6332]

Of course it will do rated. SD and Stetsom's big amps do every bit of their rated. Stetsom will do rated in the 12Vs.

[@hifiman4562]

Would be cool to see a FLIR thermal camera on the cables and terminal with that much power.

[@meade916]

you won't see anything. Not for this test. Everything was ice cold. Maybe after i torture it. Ill check amazon and see if i can find a cheap one that works good :D

[@hifiman4562]

@@meade916 Awesome. I would buy the terminals without hesitation. But to see the demo would put all the naysayers to rest. Especially after a 2 hour torture test.

[@lmatos369]

Still a great channel to watch . Didn’t notice ur KZbin account was hurting. Could fool me

[@meade916]

it only hurts when i spend a month not posting. It isn't "hurting hurting"...just when i start slacking on the vids. I go from 100,000 views per day to 60,000. Thats 40k views a day lost just from being inactive. Im good though. Sometimes i have to focus on life outside of youtube. The good things and the bad things.

[@lmatos369]

meade916 do u brother like I said great content all the time 🤙

[@claudemirdasilvasilva7046]

Soundigital sempre além dos outros amplificadores marca de respeito parabéns 👏👏

[@Hertzsogood219]

Thats what I'm talking about. Awesome video.

[@greengooseman]

your magnets are cool. COuld the magnet side accidentally stick to car metal and short the amp? *If im understanding it correctly.)

[@meade916]

No, because the magnets are recessed on the plug side.

[@slojoegtstang5775]

1 ohm runs are great for eye candy but what does it put out at 2 and 4 ohms? Once the speakers start moving the ohms will be much closer to 2 or 4 than 1

[@ScorpioMafiosoEPICENTER]

SounDigital FTW again

Where is everyone from Instagram at?? Better watch this a couple times! Thx Steve for mirror mirror on the wall, red rum, the SMD hat and the candles bro!

[@jonas2431]

R.I.P rock

[@tuccimane]

i got these joints when they first came online. so easy to pull the terminals off and take a box off.

[@SOBaseball]

It’s cool we hear the dynamic pulsing

[@jamesmcnugget2564]

Definitely raise the power rating...they can clearly handle it

[@mrtastytrim1130]

That Dynamic RMS Power sounds like my heartbeat! Maybe that is because car audio is in my blood! 🤔

[@johnlaw8476]

Yeah I've never had any Brazilian amps but I've definitely been looking into them...

Steve- Quick question... Did you go to college or trade school to learn electronics,electrical engineering or anything along those lines, or was it getting really into it, and learning everything you could about everything ? Curious to know

[@jasonjackson329]

I wonder how many brands (companies) have had to change up the parts & manufacturing processes they have in place just cause the SMD Amo Dyno was born

[@ruffnrede2]

Hay Steve what was that track played at the end of the video that beat was hard

[@Supercharged1976]

I feel like Soundigital is the better of the Brazilian companies. If I would run a Brazilian it would be Soundigital.

Americans was first making jokes of Brazilian amplifier cuz they small witj no power now they are the number 1 selling amp in USA

[@johnlaw8476]

I mean it only takes a cursory peep to see that there's hardly any Brazilian manufacturers out there plus companies that are introducing Brazilian amps into their lineup it's only a small part of their offerings...

[@dtbrown1978]

DB drag we used 8 GA all the time with 5k easily with no issues. So this test makes sense.

[@meade916]

12ga can support 5,000 watts easily.

[@dietershobbypakanal]

I have 3 zero gauge for my tweeters 😂 just a joke.. but for long distance its better to make all a little bigger then the factory sayes... i have tested a 4qmm2 speakers wire for 13,7kw rms.. it works of 3m but not really good , not the full power comes to the subwoofers... but thats normal it is a resistor not a wire 🤣

Sorry about your puppy Never easy
