Powerus PW8000 Amp Dyno! Brazilian Gem or Bust!

Been a while, welcome back

[@bonzainews]

Powerus stock its about to go up.

[@domyanez7301]

Glad you’re back! It’s been a while

[@gpcaraudio]

Thats a beast! 💪💪💪💪

[@Bassotronics]

That’s interesting because I’ve been using my Stetsom for six years without issues and I actually own two. I own the Venom 800.4 and the 3KEq.

[@luke_784lowfrequency8]

Stetsom amps are good alot of people talk trash about them. I sell and install them once your electrical is good and clean rca signal your fine. I notice lots if guys try to run them for bass and to me they are not intended for that but mids and highs stetsom is great!

[@Bassotronics]

@ *Luke_784 Low Frequency* Thanks for the input, interestingly enough I was using my Stetsom venom 800.4 which is not specifically an amplifier for Bass but I was using it with my Sundown 15” subwoofer been playing down to 10 Hz at full tilt many times. And have not caused me any issues whatsoever. I was skeptical on doing that but it withstood the test of time. I recently bought a Taramps Smart3 so now I’m using the Venom 800.4 for the midbass and vocals.

[@mcf3778]

with that crossover i bet this would be great on 2000 pairs of proaudio mids

Powerus FTW I've been telling guy's about this amp for almost 3 years now BEST BRAZILIAN AMP HANDS DOWN I'VE OWN BANDA,SOUNDIGITAL ,TARAMPS NO COMPARISON my 10k clamped over 15k 😁😁👍👍👍👍

[@hakeem6929]

who sell Powerus amps ? Do they have a website ?

[@johndough4338]

...I think the md12000.1 amplifier ( the 1 ohm version) is one of the best amplifiers ever made. I played with the powerus, and banda, and they're all great, but that taramps md12000.1 at 1 ohm just seem to be relentless on a pair of sundown zv5 subs.

[@badabing289]

banda is shitty amp? they look solid, never tested them. Not for comp, but for daily high power spl, they are $1000 for 15k amp?

[@needfospeedone]

This is a amp that I will get in a heartbeat. Very nice results 👍👍👍

[@chrisp7570]

Is this an amp, or a welder?!? 1,000+ amps! Wow!

[@bigblank69]

Takes power to make power.... not going to find a amp capable of 10,000w not drawing 1000 amps

[@Wingnut353]

Welding is mostly done with DC not AC like the audio output... pedantic I know but worth pointing out. Also why an AMP can kill you with a mere 80 volts... AC passes through the body easily DC does not.

[@bigvell02]

Very Nice!! I would have been running them but the way my account was set up when I was building... Keep up the goods glad to see you back in action.

[@minus3dbintheteens60]

Its a real shame that even a year after this video went up that these are pretty impossible for me to find.

[@recon440]

It's highly impractical that most people would have enough alternator to support this at 14.4V but it should be quite doable with a decent Lithium as those will hold ~13V for extended periods of time.

[@danielyepez7196]

We installed a Powerus 10k with Four 80Ah 3000 cca lithium batteries and factory alternator, 0 problems and 153+ dbs on music all day

Glad to see more videos, and what one it is. That amp got the juice. WOW! Pricey though, but daaaang.

[@derekvasile6127]

Welcome back. What a great amp👍👍

[@richardr5888]

So $1000 for the amp and another $3000 for the high output alternators and batteries needed to run it. Time to start playing the lotto again. Glad you're back.

[@charliefrancis6438]

Add 4 16 volt batteries and when you turn it up they drop to about 13 volts you still need a high volt alternator though, glad he’s back too

[@bigblank69]

I had 13 14v batteries charged to 15.8v and 3 100amps PSUs linked and this amp STILL dropped me down to 12.79v 🤯 that's dead empty on these batts..

[@Mr.NpK143]

Powerus is a legit full range Brazilian made amp. That limiter is technology i first seen on the kicker warehorse. A lot of companies now make full range amplifiers. So for my dollars Korean always on my lows (80hrz ! No no no 👎) with the full range to match. Great video!

[@mauromuller6649]

I dont understad why the people always complains about the filter on these amps, they are full range but now days every almost head units have LOWpass filters, so you can run your FR amp and cut the freq by the Headunit... and is if not enough, you can run a crossover or DSP, so.. whats the big deal?

[@Mr.NpK143]

@@mauromuller6649 for my setup Korean on the subs! Nowadays guys are more and more falling back to Korean boards because the Brazilian boards just can't produce the lows. You mentioned a head unit to make up for the amp's inability to produce 🤔. That's funny!

[@Chuck_Sanders]

@@Mr.NpK143 that's absolutely not true, and just typical FB talk. Full range, full bridge amplifiers, play low end frequencies just as well, as half bridge. Just ask, "Mr 15hz" lol... and he runs Taramps.

[@Mr.NpK143]

@@Chuck_Sanders prove it wrong! Chris @ CrazyHobbies just got rid of to Sound Digital 12ks. I is actually up for a raffle on his KZbin channel. Go ahead and check him out. He'll vouch he clamped 7k out of each 12k. Was he playing the lows? Hell yeah, but what happened to the other 5k? Needless to say he switched out to 4 oth the jp63s and has since upgraded to 4 of the jp83s for his new build. He like myself Korean is just the way on the lows! And dig this! I wont even chsrge you 👌

[@Chuck_Sanders]

@@Mr.NpK143 you are the one bitching, about full range amplifiers. They play low end frequency just fine, and just the same. Your just another FB groupie, using the same old, passed around garbage info. You prove me wrong? I won't charge you. You make the argument, back it up? Whatever frequency is being fed, into the amplifier, it'll play. FULL RANGE plays all frequencies. That 80hz crossover, doesn't mean that's where it starts... haha. Damn

[@bradgilpin9740]

Awesome come back video!!! Hopefully coming back video???🙏

[@wsttxC10_454]

Finally your back bubba! Glad you're back I was starting to wonder. Just made my day 👍

[@workingclassperson2124]

Not familiar with that brand. But I took a chance on Stetsom with a 6k first now an 8k and I rock custom made subs with 4 inch coils with the exception of my new 18 inch kicker solo X motors on 15 inch frames. So I beat the crap out of my amps playing the lows to Extended low bass tracks and 18-28 hz test tones. I have the Alt and batt Power my stuffs stays lukewarm to warm. Only thing that heats up is my headunit :) my sub builder warned me about Brazilian audio now including me a lot of his customers are rocking Brazilian amps and now he is a believer though he still says Wolfram is worth the money if you got it. Ya was wondering what happened to ya!? Keep it going man!!

[@ericsheeks180]

How about putting one of the new power acoustik vertigo amps on the dyno? Like the V110000 or 8000. I know it's still PA but they're great looking amps and if they did decent power and efficiency they would be worth the money.

[@Chuck_Sanders]

[@iinstallrva]

@ 12:43 freeze frame..this amp pulled over 952amps of current at 12.79v...wow

[@bigblank69]

That's what 10k amps pull, takes current to make that high of watts

[@bassface1984]

Wow when the amperage meter broke 999.OL holy crap that amplifier is a beast.

[@jeroenschuuring6060]

I built 10kw pwm amps when i was 21 and Just graduated from university in Holland which is pretty much mit ober there. My thesis was about amplification under certain circumstances.. Goals where over 90% eff and minimal use capacitance and transistors (mos-fets). Worked out Just fine with 1989 fets. So Why wouldn't it work now with over three decades of developement in Electronic......

[@jeroenschuuring6060]

Btw we didnt use filtering so we had some issues with interference with radio frequencies. 🤣😂

[@mamao_st_is_mine]

There is an amp that I would like to see on the dyno in a video that is made by someone other than the company that makes the amp. The skar rp1500. I absolutely love your channel and I would love it even more if you would make a vid on the rp1500

[@brandoyo9689]

How big of an amp can you test on your current setup?

[@MickeyMishra]

Well. Solid copper seems to be in fashion. What a great time to learn how to weld.

[@Chuck_Sanders]

Ahh, the typical full bridge comment. Knew someone would say it.

[@OrionHCCC26]

These comments crack me up. So many rude people not understanding ohm's law, I'm worried for people buying amps like this, let alone hooking up their own electrical. Thanks for the dyno, that was enlightening and very informative. I have to Orion hcca 3ks clamping just under 15k @15v, 1ohm each amp, on 160ah LTO, and I have 4 runs of 2/0. Beast amps for the price. I'm doing a new build that a lot bigger and was thinking about adding 2 more of my current amps or getting some of these powerus amps. They are stout that's for sure! I haven't had good experiences with any full bridges I've had. This looks promising tho.

[@TheFlyboy973]

Nice amp but does the fans kick on that loud when its under load??

[@bigblank69]

It does, but remember this was filmed in a echoing basement... in a car, powering subwoofers you will never hear the fans lol

[@BASSstarlet]

What's the diffrences in "full bridge" from conventional amp?

[@mcf3778]

its got to do with the way it converts power from dc to ac thats why he said 200volt caps wow

[@mcf3778]

only info ive ever found was full bridge is more complex and less reliable... half bridge uses half the rail voltage and full bridge uses full rail voltage

[@holeshotinspectionllc2412]

Full bridge is basically 2 amps already bridged internally off the same board, that’s why you shouldn’t wire below recommend impedance, the amp is already bridged....

[@z1berzerker]

nice amp... I am thinking triple 0 gauge inputs...since the amp gauge limited out over 1000 amp draw. You have a great channel 👍 😀 👏 😊

[@jameskyser9423]

[@jamesmcnugget2564]

Beast of a Brazilian....jeez!

[@catch22frubert]

10k watts @ 12.7v is impressive! Again, the Brazilians have no idea how to size their power inputs, but I guess you could get your own quad 1/0 input terminals. This should really have three 1/0 inputs for 10k watts. I would still rather have the Wolfram half bridge Korean, but this Powerus amp surprised me for sure. Good video Ryan. Glad to see you making content here and there.

[@kylejirousek5832]

So you'd rather have a newer full bridge thats cheap as fuck to build over this? Weird.

[@grassfed7852]

They dont need quad inputs, they know exactly what they're doing. A good full bridge amp is more efficient than a half bridge of the same size, thats why they dont need triple inputs on an 8k amp.

[@markdehaan4620]

Hey I just want to say great videos I love what you do is there any way that you could check a DS18 GFX3K1 full range

Dude where can i find these amps? I've looked everywhere. Please help

[@luke_784lowfrequency8]

Where are you located im a dealer in canada can get you any model for decent prices

[@________GHOST________]

A person has to have a massive power bank to run this min of 70% good luck for those bassheads to run this amp

[@catch22frubert]

If you have the right kind of lithium cells, or a lot of good AGM batteries, this isn't too hard to run. Less than $500 worth of A123 cells from battery hookup would do 1000 amps continuous no problem, or a big bank of headway 38120's. A few big Northstar AGM batteries would also do the trick. Lots of people have the 12k version of the Taramps MD series, and the Wolfram 7.5k that does well over 9k watts, amongst others like Sundown's NS1 or NS2 or the Salt 12k's. You might need 2 or 3 big alternators, but I think the people who would buy this amp know they need a ton of juice to run it. It would be a fun science experiment to mess with this kind of stuff if you have the extra money to play with. Im not personally in that boat, but I still plan on building a decent lithium battery for my little 3k amplifier. I can do $300- $400 on that to play with lol.

[@ajayahuja9]

[@DisturbedXDM]

You need to upgrade ur cars electrical system. I suggest getting a high output alternator and upgrading ur battery to an aftermarket high watt battery. I did my alternator from stock 60amp to high output 200amp, and replaced stock battery with a 2400w, 1600cca battery, as well as replaced wiring between the two to 1/0g wire. I also played it safe as a back up and installed a 50 farad capacitor. The reason ur lights dim and ur car stalls is ur taxing ur cars electrical system. It doesn't have enough to power ur system and still power ur spark plugs and lights. Hope this helps.

[@StaticVapour590]

@@smalltimer4370 Back in day..Cheater amp is amp that was used in SPL-competitions. Good example is Rockford Fosgate's Punch 45. Rated way below what it actually does, i think it was rated for 35Wx2 @ 2Ω but it actually 90Wx2 @ 2Ω. I think they did not have low-impedance protection, so lower impedance meant more heat and more power. Early SPL competitions were arranged by output ratings like 25W or 50W being the most popular ones.
