I had the pleasure of talking with Parker. This guy is a stand up guy with a wealth of information.

[@vtxjeff6189]

Just ordered a ts400x4 to add additional mids/highs. Thanks to your review and some other users videos I ordered the 12 inch ab hawks to go with my smart3. Seeing this review after buying the 4 channel and I’m glad to know it’s gonna be a damn good amp for my goals.

[@justme-pi3lh]

Thanks Parker. This tiny amp was exactly what my door speakers needed. Tiny Beast and @ a Budget Price. Thanks again for sharing it with us all.

Yeah man! Glad you like it

@@ParkerTheBasshead I wanna buy this amp but I not sure how to wire four 4 ohm 6.5 skar audio FSX and 2 skar super tweets to a 4 channel amp

[@daxtonclaude9655]

⁠@@mikecoxlongthe3rd220 if you go with a component tweeter, you’re gonna want to use a component mid to go with it. My .02 aside, hook up 2 RPXs into 1 channel and do the same with the next. Channel 3 will be your tweeters, but don’t forget a crossover, or filter your low pass, but I recommend a crossover. Then use that last unused channel for whatever you want. The power these amps are rated at 2 ohms.

[@bringmeyourweak]

I'm loving the videos lately dude! Your excitement seems elevated, and I dig it.

[@Supercharged1976]

Nice Gixxer 600 you picked up there! ;-) Been riding full tilt crotch rockets since 1992. Had a 2006 Gixxer 1000 for almost 9 years and sold it to go to my old man sport bike my 2012 Ninja 1000. Love it so much perfect street bike.

[@nickstalhood5380]

Just a suggestion since its already installed, but you could get some black rubber adhesive seal to put around you speaker panels to give it a cleaner look. You can usually pick up some L shaped seal from alot of hardware stores. Some already have adhesive backing or you can use rubber cement or even super glue. Good luck the build us looking good!

[@stevemaniaci4750]

Could you explain the difference between the ts 400×4 an the ds 400×4. Taramps. Was curious 2 thumbs up Bassin

[@darthbiden8675]

This amp is 100% worth it, i had a sub running off of it and it was actually pushing a 12, it doesnt get hot either.

[@user-xx5qp4dj5e]

Dude thts crazy!

[@RJSDZNS]

Triple front on that box! Freaking awesome Parker! Can't wait for the sundown show bro.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

I can’t wait either!

[@tatialo37]

Just ordered one of those for my CR-V! I'm going to install only one to run the whole system. It's fed to stock speaker and a Dual 10 sub. The cutoff is 90hz, hence more bass!

[@VictorRodriguez-rd5xl]

Good review bud, and yes the little amp sounds good, louder,clearer thanks for ur review...

[@lookthroughmycamera]

This little guy rocks! I have one pushing 4 6x8’s and 4 tweeters in my pathy and it sounds great. I also had to use the crossover in my head unit to clean up the lows because the filter in the amp itself isn’t the best.

[@quevicular]

I would use both the 800 by 4 and the 400 by 4 in your truck. I'd Bridge all channels down to two channels and run those mid-bass mid-range on the 800 and I would do the same thing with the 400 taramps 4-channel just to run the tweeters. Then I would use that Alpine amp or whatever was under the seat for the shop guaranteed a super super clean sound

[@JussLvn]

So u saying let’s tweets have they own amp prolly would to do big 3 upgrade

[@dandesouto6076]

Question for you , if have 4 x 6.5 speakers 8 ohms , paralelo that’s drop to 2 ohms , but when you have the taramps 800x4 or 400x4 in bridge they saying is not 2 ohms is a 4 ohms .

[@Dzhalil90]

Hell ya bro! I am walking my 04 sti and putting 2 FI q 15s in it. Going to be a very unique car

[@davidmcnerney3048]

Nice to get an explanation on how there multichannel amps hook up. I was curious after looking at them.

[@jordanlee1237]

awesome video! I love your wrx as well, I think it would be pretty cool to run the tweeters off the ts400x4 then run the mids off of the DS800x4

[@waynsmith9538]

You could start a second channel for the Suburu, going to the strip and racing!!

[@aundreypollard9199]

Nice setup bro! I think I’m gonna get that amp for my highs! Was hoping you had a build in the Subaru! I have a 2000 Impreza L 2.5! Had 2 audiopipe bd3 12’s and like you said the car rattles! Even separated the bottom for the spare tire! Well I’ve gutted the back seat and all out and trying to start maybe a blow thru with the small trunk space

[@emilyreid652]

Great review, I’m gonna buy this amp. Thanks!

[@SeanOMatic]

Parker, many companies market four channels that way. The RD400/4 from JL, the T400x4AD, and many others are 100W x4 amps.

[@joe112000]

I have that little amp running my mids and highs. It fits right under the seat 💺 of my truck 🛻

[@jasonstretch1691]

Love the build. I can’t wait to see it completed. That little amp sounds great. Also what song was that?

[@Chuck_Sanders]

The outputs being that way, is no big thing with full bridge,as the output section doesn't really work like a half bridge. The outputs aren't a real positive and negative, as they are essentially both positive outputs, but the negative works 180 degrees out of phase.

[@HashDogg06]

"Great thing about this little guy is that i can stick it anywhere" Word!

[@7thsoneli]

Hey Parker great job! I have this amp in my Bobcat skidsteer loader! It powers two 4 and 2 6.5 jbl gto coax speakers,you need tons of power in a skidsteer,this little bugger is a strong one.

[@krowwithakay]

True that. Have you considered the jl hx 280/4? It’s not as powerful but it puts out a very clean signal and can drive a pair of speakers to very loud levels. Plus it’s waterproof and tiny :)

[@95Sn95]

I believe it has weird speaker hookups is it's probably full bridge and it utilizes both +&- for power just alternating thus requiring half the size so on that it prob shares the negative post or something like that...... Sam at Barevids explains it better and more accurately or correctly. It's all black magic😁

[@pvgreen621]

I'd like to see how it compares to the Sundown SFB 200.4

[@Firehornet21]

Hey i was wonder how you would actually wire a single sub to an amp like this. Would you just wire the speaker wires to the bridged connections and plug the RCAs into the corresponding channels?

[@robfalkner4303]

You can hear the difference bro !!! True Reall Car Audio ppl can man !!!!!

[@mester84]

Now u need a clarion parametric EQ to help bring more quality to the mids and cut the lows amd bring more clarity

[@josephsaucedo8691]

Car look sick I'd love to see you rip on it a bit I was surprised you still had the Alpine amp going 👍✌️👌💯🥂🎵🎶

[@johng6673]

I put in my JBL headphones, went back and forth. Yes, you can hear the volume difference, but SQ is WAY better than the Alpine. The Alpine is gets higher, but also a flatter band which is cleaner. The Taramps seems to just lack something.

[@jaredrice1487]

Not only that but the garage doors were open with the alpine and then closed for taramps. Its obviously going to be louder then

[@BlackPanther-oo4zj]

Taramps holding up nice.

[@olbluetundra881]

Well. How ya liking this. Like I said. Pretty cool little amp. Not a lot of adjustments but sounds pretty good. Works good for highs. The couple I've installed worked well.

Hey man I have the same alpine amp as yours in this video but yours seems wayyy louder than mine gets I wonder if im doing something wrong 🤔 it's funny though because I'm thinking about switching it for this exact taramps amp lol

[@95Sn95]

Well parker I'd like to thank you I bought another balancer (and n extra again) and I watched your video and put them exactly where you did (even tho I thought I did on the last 2) and I held my breath and plugged the module in and yup BAM!!! JK It worked just fine! Wanna thank you see a young man can teach an old dog new tricks! Now I can hook up my headways for my new CAB45! Only thing now is keep that XR coils from goin up in stinky amoke! Thanks again Parker anxious to see your subs play!!!!!!

[@monstah408]

How you set the gains on that amp? What procedure did you use? O-scope?

[@jamesmarze9850]

Sounds great good job parker

[@onesikm3]

Oh I didn’t catch it the first time you did mention them being all in parallel! Did you since remove the tweeters from getting power from the head unit ? I imagine they would limit your overall volume due to them clipping sooner than the midranges running signal thru rca’s right ?

[@steventhomas5865]

Just want to know why you are running high frequencies to the mids when the amp has a bandpass setting?

[@cargatube4473]

You should run a mini amp per door bro would probably sound good

[@pvgreen621]

Is the Taramps a cleaner sound than the Sundown? I want a quality low distortion sound from my highs crisp and clean?⁷

[@ramionmiller2342]

I seen somebody else said the same thing I was going to say use the little one for the highs in the big one for me the mids

[@s.harrison9273]

I'm guessing it would sound good on my kicker 6.5's perfect?

[@adampaffrath4299]

Fuck yea dude!!! To the everything so rad ! I’ve been waiting to see you make those ds18 bump. How do you feel they sound with a little low end ? I actually just bought 6.5 Vega strokers as my door speakers ! Keep up the rad ness man

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

[@Sleepy731]

I bought this amp. And sold it before trying it thinking it wouldnt be enough for my 4 6x9s+2 tweaters. Looks like i was wrong

[@Bigislandguy]

Do taramps sound good for mids and highs?

[@buckboxdesigns]

You get what you pay for. Bigger amps that put out the same power typically sound better on music, because the extra size comes from more advanced internal components that really increase the quality of the electricity flowing through the amp and through the speaker and speaker wires circuit. Go look at the waveform on these cheaper amps, then look at a more traditional, more expensive, larger amp of the same power capability. The waveform the higher quality amps send to the subs is smoother and the amp controls the subs better with changing impedance due to box rise, motor to coil induction, things like that. Small amps with big power are usually lacking internal components that greatly increase the musical quality of the power they produce.

[@thebomberThebomber-yy2th]

Hey man im planning on getting this amp to power up my 4 doors also do u wire the speaker wires through the aftermarket stereo harness speaker wires ? Then back to the amp ?

[@bobbybland9497]

the db slope cut off must be different

[@SickCr3wCab]

How many speakers did you run on that amp all 8 midranges plus all tweeters or do you have too buy another amp for the other 4 speakers on the other side ?

[@laobejanegramocsin538]

how many watts are those ds18 speakers and tweetters for the tinny taramps? i would like to know...

[@hgfdksk17]

So would this be good enough to run 2 skar tweeters, 6x9s, and 2 Jbl 6.5s ? If it’s even possible

[@morlaw5290]

Wondering if this would be a good amp for my bike with 4 speakers in the fairing. 2 - 6.5 and 2 - 5.5 (speaker recommendations please). The amp sounds great. Need that song to test it when installed

[@Skumo]

Is this amp good for a pair of 2 evl-65 6.5 sub?

[@1ohmwrecker]

Deff sounds meaner than the alpine. But in most daily drivers, that alpine is all you'd need fr.

Ayyyy I asked about what heads you had on it thanks for answering!!! Btw what mm turbo do you have?

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

I for get exactly. I bought the turbo 2nd hand. It has an upgraded compressor housing and I think it is a 64mm.

[@anthonykimble1080]

[@rowboyto156]

i see a greddy part. i used to work for them. i cant tell if its a profec b spec 2 or turbo timer. nice sti build. i cant tell from the video but did you go with equal length or unequal length headers

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Very cool! It is a turbo timer. I stayed with unequal length. The car is still plenty fast enough for me and I love to rumble so much

[@jaygee6983]

I have one however doesn't seem like it pulls out more then 20 amps. Using it in full mode now till I build my sub box cannot expect much from 6x8s bass does not sound good. I am gonna try and adjust the gain and see if I can get more power and try the head unit filter to get rid of all the bass once my subs go in idk maybe 4 ways just don't sound good anyways alot of guys used to run 2 way

[@vishalmaharaj2003]

Amp has no crossovers to adjust on it that's why there's to much bass, get a parametric eq for the mids and highs now, clarion makes a good 7 band one the eqs755 can try one of those if not there are other brands like mmats, american bass, dbdrive etc

[@jaz97]

I been also looking at this amp.

[@ryanesser5791]

Why don't you use something to get your rca voltage up? Eq, line driver? Rcas straight out of the head unit is only like 2volts.
