Testing Taramps smart 8k on real life.

[@lowhertzhighspl]

Damn I wish I could experience in person this slick build

[@lombechangala2803]

awesome video bro.whats your electrical like at the time of this video?

[@956Bassaddict]

I have 135ah of cmax, two mechman 320. I charge around 15.7v. At full tilt, my voltage dropped around 14.8v 👍🔉🔈

[@jermainephillips5179]

Still damn good power from smaller package.dont care what the amp meter says these smart amps are louder than same size "korean" in real world.they might not last as long but they are louder and half the size.not many people have room in their rides for a few 3ft surfboards for amps...lol

[@956Bassaddict]

I can't wait to have all 4 amps playing at the same time. I was impressed with a single amp. was able to float a flag 👍🔊🔈🔉

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

They will last just fine but everyone runs them hard and blowing amps is GOING to happen. Then many people are cheap and since they are cheap and we all want cheap power, well they cheap out on their electrical power and kaboom... (I met a dude who had a Taramps MD12k on a stock vehicle... He wondered why it 💩.... 🤯😂) Also cooling is vital, they have fans for a reason, the sink is very thin and on top of it they powder coat or enamel them... I admit I'm not sure if they use coatings that doesn't effect thermal transfer but regardless the power to effective thermal transfer area is crazy high compared to these 3'+ same power apps that are thicker, bigger and anodized (which doesn't effect thermal) and this is why they don't have many fans. It's all about cooling, keeping the electronics cool, voice coils cool, power cool and you cool! 😆

If anyone doesn’t know…the smart amps are not the best for burps. The smart circuitry actually limits the power. Insane amps for music though.

[@jonny8547]

I’ve got a sundown sia 3500 and on a burp Ive clamped 4200 several times (I thought it was a fluke) which is way more than I expected. Are burps similar to when people to the dynamic test when they dyno amps? A quick burst of power before the amp’s smart circuitry is able to throttle it down?

[@Ernestosgarage]

Please keep making videos . I am very interested in these Teramps smart 8k. I need all the info i can get

[@956Bassaddict]

I'm almost done with the installation. I will be making more testing videos 👍

[@teshuvaben2777]

Thank you for the video brother!!

[@laurantsmccloskey5927]

Great video! Thanks!

[@956Bassaddict]

Thank you, brother 👍🔊🔈🔉

[@1ohmwrecker]

Oh them 160's are coming!

[@Mr.NpK143]

Ok, you should be ready for the big question! CRESCENDO OR TARAMP?

[@956Bassaddict]

Have to wait until i installed and tested all 4 amps. To see how they react on raise and power. For now, they are very similar on power if i comper the power i was getting on a single 17k wire to .5 ohm to 2 taramps smart 8k wire to 1 ohm.

[@derrickandrews6407]

Crescendo all day for me

[@Mr.NpK143]

@956Bassaddict I'd think you'd get more power out of the 17k @ .5. However, the smart 8ks may make up ground on the box rise. Should be interesting 🤔. And if you can please lend us your opinion on the two's differences sounding on the lows

[@956Bassaddict]

In my personal opinion, the Crescendo 17k sounds amazing, and the taramps smart 8k sounds also pretty good, i went to a local bass meet a week ago. I got to try the smart 8k on a few demos, and the people's reactions and myself were very impressed with the 8k performance, and i was able to float a flag on a single amp. 👍🔈🔉🔊

[@heavy12inchsub79]

I would prefer constant power to get the most out of an amp.

[@HNiCDuke]

Taramps are good amps for the money but they clip so quick. Im going to get a JP63 to replace my MD 8k pretty soon

[@got2getit204]

What mine dose just fine don’t understand why people say that if it clips get your electric together like I’m running 320amp with 4 batteries one under the hood and 3 in back! And mines dose just fine hell my sundown clips to so don’t know!

[@HNiCDuke]

@@got2getit204 ppl say that because they do. My electric is top notch. That's not the issue. I don't drop below 13.5 full tilt

[@956Bassaddict]

I'm back to work. But when I get back home, i want to install all 4 amplifiers, one per sub, to see how they perform 👍🔊🔉🔈

[@HNiCDuke]

@@956Bassaddict 👍🏽

[@rashad5286]

They do but only when the rca voltage is around 4v, try setting it around 2.5v

[@shagsshag149]

Very small wiring?

[@cdbennett2332]

It's also very close to the huge battery bank. The shorter the run the smaller the wire can be.

[@956Bassaddict]

Once i installed all 4 amps with the final wiring, i will do another test to see how the system performs at full power 👍🔈🔉🔊

[@zeusranked11fortnite-xbox12]

? I see dual 0 gauge runs, 5 min into the video. You might be looking at the speaker wire outputs they have a remote wire in the middle it looks like power and ground but it's not

[@bigbiscuit6751]

Good stuff If you can wire lower you should be fine - it would help with the impedance rise I have an old Taramps HD 8k 2ohm version On 3 sundown X V2 12s I was wired to 2.67 ohms but i rewired to 0.67 ohms With rise though im at a lil over 1 ohm but it handles it fine Im just sure to never clip and I have great electrical

[@956Bassaddict]

Thanks for the advice 👍

[@HNiCDuke]

With your low ohm load, it doesn't clip as fast as a higher ohm load, correct?

[@bigbiscuit6751]

@@HNiCDuke for me - no Because since I get more power at the lower Ohm load - I’m able to get the output I want for the type of musics I listen to and don’t have to drive the amp as hard as I did with the higher ohm load

[@HNiCDuke]

@@bigbiscuit6751 yea I figured.

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

​@@HNiCDuke"as fast" is relative. If you have a higher ohm load you just get significantly less power and your rise is going to be crazy. Figure rise almost off the bat doubles your nominal. It might drop below that sometimes but more times then not it only increases. So if you start at 1ohm nominal! Jumps to 2 from the get and rises to 4 down to 1.7 up to 5 blah blah blah.... well if you start at 2 then that's 4 ohm to 8ohm to 3ohm and so on. You'll never see at or below nominal impedance (unless you blow a coil and it shorts out of course as then you're at 0ohm 😂... not funny)

[@ponylifestyle5995]

Something wrong. Why is the 5k pushing 9k all day ?

[@956Bassaddict]

I know. I don't know why. That video didn't clamp a lot of power. I have seen 11k+ on before on the smart 8k 👍

[@mrmcflappy6639]

intro song?

[@956Bassaddict]

40 Hz Bass Beat Track. From KZbin

[@mrmcflappy6639]

Oh really? The first 5 seconds of the video remind me of a song from the 90's but I can't put a name to it so it's making me crazy@@956Bassaddict

[@RyanBassForLife]

It's nice wire it lower.

[@956Bassaddict]

I might try it in the future 👍🔈🔉🔊

[@evilinside5984]

@RyanBassForLife, you have Half Bridge amplifiers, that handle lower than recommended impedance's. This amplifier in this video, is a Full bridge designed amplifier, and they tend to Blow up, when you wire below rated impedance's= Not recommended.

[@GentryMorrisIII]

The Smart 8 Bass can be wired down to 0.5ohm, not recommended to do so on the regular Smart 8. Doable? Yes, but not recommended.

[@michaelrhodes9178]

Am I missing something? I never seen no where near 8k ? Even with box rise? JP83 bud💥💥💥💥💥💥get it at 12 volt

[@956Bassaddict]

When i bought the amps. I installed a single amp at 1 ohm. I burp the system completely sealed, and my raise was 1.9 ohm. I clamped 9300 watts. I think they make good power if the raise is under 2 ohms 👍🔊🔉🔈

[@joeinline4443]

Si no te gustan los Brasílianos despuse te recomindo el Jp83 con un par la ases un Jp por par de 18” a .5 ohms cada amplificador lo que me gusta del Jp83 es que tiene flexibleda de vajar Los ohms y con ese que tienes. No se pude vahar a .5 te da lo mismo que en 1ohm estan bonitas Tus bosinas que le vaya vien.

[@956Bassaddict]

Gracias por tu consejo👍🔈

[@HNiCDuke]

Yea I'm about to replace my MD 8k for a jp64. My homie told me that 63 would be more powerful than the md8k. Can't wait to see. How u liking yours?

[@rubenavila8012]

I see money is no issue for you why not smart bass 8k? Why smart 8

[@956Bassaddict]

When i bought my amps. I didn't know that Taramps was going to make the smart bass 8k. I think smart bass 8k is a better option 👍

[@JohnWilliams-cw5sz]

that’s right for 2 ohms

[@956Bassaddict]

Yes, the amp is doing rated power 👍🔉🔈🔊

[@user-pwfus]

Brahhhhh Stetsom is the new Taramp way better quality and price in every way check them out for Brazil amps the tests have already been done.

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

Stetsom have smart amps now? What changed because they used to be garbage!

[@GentryMorrisIII]

Yeah their ‘Smart’ version amps are the FLEX series. So far they’ve only came out with the Bravo Bass Flex 3K. Maybe a 5K and an 8K will follow in the future. The new Bravo Bass series by Stetsom are pretty solid.

[@clipciti6977]

​@@GentryMorrisIIIthe Vulcan is a good amp also. My 8k put in work with zero issues
