The 1500 watt mono block amp cant be found anywhere. Glad you were able to snag one before They were removed. Outstanding amp for the price!

Can I buy it off you good sir 😁

There are no Top Stronggear TSG-1100.1D the link redirect to the 4 Channel Amplifier

[@michaelgroves7178]

Yes PLEASE!!!!! Thank you for all you do for us to keep us from getting ripped off!!! Thanks again Big D!!!

[@scottstamm7022]

Pretty much, I've returned two amps to Amazon. Reason for return "improperly rated and not as advertised" was my response.

BRING ON THE 4 CHANNEL!! BLOWN AWAY BY THAT LITTLE AMP!!!!

[@phrogman4654]

Top Strong should thank you Big D their sold out of the mono amplifier the next day after your video posted.

Listen, I’m just posting vids of cool stuff I find. Actually Facebook friend told me about these, I had never seen before. Lots of China copies of Taramps, Sundown SFB and more out there

[@catch22frubert]

@@d_talant its sold out already. Can't get it now.

That’ was quick

[@momanholmes8715]

When I initially found this amp it was $89. I told BigD on fb and every time more people ordered the price went up ...90.99....95.99....109.99. Same with 4 channel. Pretty sure if they come back in stock, especially after this vid the price will jump again

[@BigMerc91CMDNJ]

I always come back to watch this video. I'm a proud owner of this amp because of you. I have it running a Skar Audio EVL 15 in a 98 Navigator. So far 2 years of abuse and both still going..

Awesome 👏

Your comment made my day

[@AndreMarek64]

Daaang, just checked Amazon and they're about $160 now! BigD pushing prices up for those that reach their ratings!

[@ronniemceachern2476]

I got one of these amps, actually i got two, and once i hook it up and adjusted and tune it, it actually performs pretty damn good, only problem is, the bass doesn't drop as low as some of the cheaper walmart brands, but as far as the power goes, it's top notch in that department and doesn't take a lot of battery power. My meter stays between 14.3 and 13.9 with the bass knob about half way turn up and at 1 ohm, it's just not dropping as low as i would like, but hi, i brought two amps for about $200 and sold one for $200 so mine was free and im not complaining, i give this amplifier a 👍

[@KuntalGhosh]

even some unknown knockoff amp is doing way better than boss audio. atleast they aren't faking the numbers!

[@Sheenoobie]

Boss was the first amp i ever bought with the mtx 12s lmao shit used to actually push those little 12s for what its worth and tbh they sounded better than my sdr i had tbh

[@j.savage1228]

I'd have to paint over the company name on the amp. That's the most Chineseium brand name I've ever heard.

[@Pinkielover]

lol

[@keithshoup]

There is or at least used to be a Chinese flashlight brand called - and I kid you not - "UranusFire".

[@ohyeahyeah1400]

@James smith good idea then sell it

[@Assimilator702]

Pop the name plate off.

[@bitrot42]

Amazon sells a projector from a company called Estink, so in the grand scheme of lousy brand names, TopstrongGear is far from the worst. My favorite is MeanWell power supplies, which are actually pretty good. Always sounds like they are apologizing to me. There was a time when Samsung was a laughable brand name. Of course, that was about 40 years ago.

[@SnubBarracuda]

Gotta love the bang for your buck. And that efficiency is pretty dang good. Just grabbed one of these to play with. Thanks again for the find, D!

[@hotrodsgarage1008]

Hey BigD! I would love to see frequency response tests of the cheap amps compared to more expensive amps with similar specs. I like my lows down to 20hz and would love to see how these cheap amps perform and how much DB they drop off

[@scottstamm7022]

Just bought one of these on Amazon from the TopstrongGear company. Need to find a way to turn it down to 600w @ 2ohm RMS range, for a Kicker TL7T.

[@wal]

It should be fine. Kicker underrates their speakers

[@scottstamm7022]

I'm just looking for casual usage. If you still have the same amp, and a 1 farad cap, and maybe a cheap Scosche 8 gauge amp kit, could you maybe do a video testing the following 4 scenarios back to back to back? 1) TSG-1100.1D - 4 gauge wire short wire run from source to amp. 2) TSG-1100.1D - 8 gauge wire short wire run from source to amp. 3) TSG-1100.1D - 8 gauge wire, long 12-16 foot run from source to amp. 4) TSG-1100.1D - 8 gauge wire, long 12-16 foot run from source to cap next to amp. I don't have the tools, but for the casual audio head like me, this could help out where larger wires can't be ran, and/or when a cap can be afforded, but a battery bank can't, as not to burn out ones amp prematurely. Just a possible video idea, and thanks for the reply!

[@lunatikk1967]

Niiiiice ......But dont forget about the crown XLS 2502 you still have alot of us waiting for that test Big D 😁

From what I’m seeing here that amp has really good control on a reactive load. A steal for $90.

Some ppl bash Taramps but I've been running a Taramps Smart3 for bout a month & half now with zero issues. Puts out a lot of power & can do it for periods of up to an hour at a time without breaking a sweat. Song after song with heavy bass, no overheating & has never went into protect. (Knock on wood) I can only imagine what the 8k Taramps will do.
