[@phatboyzcustomz]

Saw the video after my dealer convinced me it was better than the DB Drive Speed series I called to purchase. I'm glad I listened. My son installed the 1000 watt in his CTS Cadillac pushing 2 DB Drive WDX8G1.4 wired down to 1 ohm. The amp does get very hot, and has cut off a few times, even with 0 gauge wire. So I'm thinking about going up to 2 ohm and just let him have fun with it there. At 1 ohm I'm afraid he's going to blow those 8's and those subs are 600 RMS, so it's putting out above rated power for sure!!

( the price of the 4 channel has not been released, probably $150 to $200)....A 1500 watt system for less than $400 bucks...unheard of, and a great buy for the novice...The gear that I buy (Helix, Brax, Match , Audiotec Fischer), would cost about $2500 for a 1500 watt system...but, it is better, and is hand made....not by slaves, but technicians..this has been my hobby for 35 years, at this point .I only want the best...but there is something foe everyone, a good sounding system can be had for a few hundred bucks...peace Brother

@@msh6865 …. I have similar political concerns, but, if your a young enthusiast on a budget, it seems a lot of watts for a little money…I avoid Chinese products when I can, but they do manufacture to pretty high standards, and, frankly, it is unavoidable….my Apple products are all manufactured in China. ( soon to move to India, let’s hope quality doesn’t suffer) All aftermarket head units are made in China. At least these amps were designed in the USA, by a designer from RE Audio, who were once affiliated US Amps..it’s little consolation, but, it’s something. I am from a time when all the best amps ,subs, and speakers were American made, but, cheap Chinese labor is hard to resist, and , one by one all the legacy brands moved manufacturing to China. There are few left that are made in the USA ( MMATS,TRU, Arc, Linear Power), but with many imported parts…and they cost dearly, but, I would pay it, I buy German because they best integrate into my German cars. I have a collection of American made amps of most of the legacy brands, some are 40 years old, and often lament the fact that we don’t make anything in America anymore…and many other political issues..but, as you say, this is not the place….actually, this is where I go to avoid political issues…that is the beauty of Big D✌️🇺🇸

[@samwise4me903]

It's all about identifying your target user and designing you product to meet the requirements of that user. Every amp design is a series of choices by the engineers, who get their marching orders from the marketing department. This amp was designed to give the most bang for the buck, without any fancy frills.

[@jimdotcom808]

Same company owns AudioControl. I got the mt1000.1 and it pairs really nice with my kicker CompQ. My only concern is that the amp gets kinda hot after a little while. I'm wondering what temperature and when thermal protection activates.

[@johannjohann6523]

Hint: Get ya an efficient quiet/silent 12V computer fan that matches the width of the amp. You can find good ones online for $5-$15. Get some velcro, make small pieces to fit at the fans base (4 corners), do the same on the the amp that match the fan (smaller the better as long as it holds) and tie fan power into the amps 5v power turn on wire, and there ya go. Drilling a couple holes in the amp cover can also be done (since there are some holes in the bottom cover). Make sure fan is pulling air, not blowing air onto the amp. Especially if you end up mounting the amp in the trunk. If you have fold down rear seats, or access door that allows access to trunk, leave that open whenever possible in the summer so some AC cool air can reach the trunk. Adding another small quiet fan if you only have a small access opening (I think for skis I believe) isn't a bad idea to draw cool cabin air into the trunk. Just make sure to raise the amp up a little bit so it isn't sitting flush on the floor or side panels. Add some cheap speaker feet so air can draw through the bottom. And that should help alot, and make sure the amp performs a long time. Heat/getting too hot is the reason most amps simply fail over time. Especially a budget amp like this one. But with the amps efficiency ratings, you would like to think it should last. Naturally playing the amp at 4 or 2 ohms would be the best, and help reduce heat as well. I don't know why all amps don't incorporate a fan in their design. They cost most companies only a buck or two. (PS you really don't want the Thermal Protection to ever kick in on a budget amp. Most of the time the protection circuit still allows the output transisters to blow. And the amp won't turn back on unless you replace them. Which there should only be one or two for that amp. Most likely 1. You can test them using a multi-meter. And will be close to to where the speaker wires hookup usually. Usually. Sometimes you can get a "Data Sheet" for the amplifier, but that's 50/50 giving you the amps schematics. It isn't necessarily too difficult to replace if ya can de-solder, and solder. Just make sure you buy the "Exact" same brand and type of replacement transister, or you can end up with distortion, or the amp not running at all. Even looking for a date made as close to the original transister that blew. We're talking $5-$10 incl. shipping. Digi-Key is a good company to buy resisters, caps etc. and not get ripped off.). Wow, longer than I expected, but just some amp FYI. (naturally using the largest power wire possible will also help with heat).So go crank it up and annoy your neighbors! lol. If it's too loud you're too old! take care.

You must be pushing your amp to the max. I can run my MT1000.1 with the STINGER Single 12" 700 Watt (RMS) Loaded Subwoofer Enclosure | Ported 1 Ohm Subwoofer Box | Down Firing Box for Max Sound (700 Watts RMS/1200 Watts Max) MC1S12A at about 65% gain, subsonic filter at 30hz, no bass boost because it totally throws off the linearity of the subs frequency curve, and HPF set to 70 hz to 80hz depending on the music I'm playing.

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

I just remember when I first started off, all the people who cared ran Stinger interconnects. That was too rich for my blood being a teenager who just started driving and working a low pay fast food job. I got my RCA jacks from RadioShack. I also bought things out of order and didn't prioritize properly. I bought my first subwoofers (original Rockford Fosgate Punch) before I even had a head unit. Because reasons. I borrowed a sub box from one friend who didn't even have a car, and an amp from another. Since I didn't have a head unit I just used a disc man and a cable with a headphone jack on one end and RCA outs on the other. That's right, I had all the frequencies playing through my subs. It was ghetto as could be and I loved every minute of it. Because you had to get the girls looking as you rolled down the block.

[@jimdotcom808]

I got mine early July. I have the gain set about ⅝ running the amp almost daily to and from work (about an hour each way). The amp would get pretty hot, but thankfully never went into protect mode. I push it pretty hard from my car deck. Other reviews I've read said the heat management inside the amp is very good. I mounted the amp on rubber washers and it did help with heat dissipation. Big D really gave an accurate review. The bass knob goes from minimum to high with just a little incremental turn. Possible resistor issue within the knob mechanism. At this price point and from my experience, I am completely satisfied with the performance. Stinger is owned by the same company as AudioControl, so honoring the warranty shouldn't be a problem if the product fails.

The box is insanely well constructed and braced. The port is curved at the end so port chuffing is reduced to almost nothing when powered correctly and tuning the amp to their specs.

@bigdfig6083 129.5db at the floor in the Durango. Larger enclosure, so it's definitely not for smaller trunks. I tried it in my 300, but the box is too tall, so I went with the Kicker down fire for the 300. Both are great.

[@neiljwilliams6890]

I saw this on Amazon last night, I watched the review today and I am going to buy one tomorrow.😊

[@jaimetrevino9244]

Awesome video man. Keep up the great work. I bought the smaller m700 to push my jl 12w3 and man does it pound. It sounds great too.

[@jeffmorefield]

Just bought the MT2000.1. Should get it in a couple of days. Its going to be pushing two Toro Audio Force 12's. The amp im running now is an Arc Audio 1100XD.1.

[@christopherkerr2254]

Like see this amp bumpin your 2 star audio 18’s Awesome, informative, knowledgeable vid as always TY

[@LBCAndrew]

I still have some stinger power/ground cables, RCA interconnects, and a couple fuse holders. I may actually buy one of these.

[@rakshitnasikkar6711]

Thanks! for showing the efficiency at 8 ohms.

[@jeff0605]

I bought the 1500.1D just to have the price is crazy from Stinger. I also bought my son their 12" sub in their box 700W RMS for $150 crazy good for the money. Budget Badass!!!!!

[@jayhussain9999]

Hi Big D!!! I've been watching your channel for a while now, just wanted your input on DD Audio products. Would love to see you review an amplifier. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

[@jdizzle3740]

Stinger is pretty legit. A higher end shop around here carries their lines and they stand behind them 100%. They even recommended one of the Stinger head units over a “high end” pioneer head unit.

[@paulgood2218]

That's because 1 the the stinger head unit is decent. And 2 pioneer stoped making new high end units. Depending what you consider high end . But pioneer going down each year since they sold the brand to a Chinese holding company

[@LeonD519]

@@paulgood2218I sale pioneer so you speaking facts

[@AudioGuru09]

Pioneer didn’t sell they went bankrupt. The new holdings company that bailed them out has not cut production of the Japanese designed high end. The 4660 the 7600 and 8600 and the w4500 have been out since before the takeover. Just because the new entry level is crap doesn’t mean the high end isn’t good. That being said. The Stinger High10 is a solid unit.

[@paulgood2218]

@@AudioGuru09 I don't consider those high end units the prs line is a high end unit. And not talking the 10 year old prs 80. Yes pioneer sold because of bankruptcy or just to cash out does not change they sold to a Chinese company and any new models I have seen in last few years have been garbage. And all the models before the sell out . Was 2018 why would someone buy a 5 year old new radio. I do agree those was decent units. But all signs point to when there gone there gone and the new stuff is bad

[@AudioGuru09]

@paulgood2218 the PRS is a single din radio. The 99PRS doesnt even have Bluetooth phone call. It doesnt sell. The 80PRS i had failures on the knobs and buttons were crap even though the sound was good. If you're going to replace an oem screen in a new vehicle, you don't want a single din radio these days. Kenwood XR, Sony ES, and Alpine Status and F1 is where you should look. I think Alpine is good at the 507 and up. Most people run a Helix DSP or equivalent if real SQ is what you're after. Or run a DAC the headunit these days is a navigation and hands free source.

[@1QMQY]

Great video as always Big D. Thanks

[@johannjohann6523]

I watched this again and I can't believe Stinger amp is 93% efficient at 4 Ohms! Who else hits 93%. Plus a S/N ratio CEO rated at 90 dB. That's great. Especially at this price

[@HifiVega]

Stinger Audio coming through with the budget banger!

[@SouthFloridacarshows]

Awesome budget amp. Always great videos.

[@VisionSoundPDX]

That’s dope. Too bad I am no longer into car audio. I just love watching your videos and supporting your channel.

[@wal]

Much appreciated!!

[@Chris4Bama]

Then you're actually still into car audio. Lol

[@mikellewis2346]

Price is up to $124.99 as of 12:30pm eastern time in PA. That's funny they jump the price up after your video's. lol good job !!!

[@jermainephillips5179]

Supply and demand.people see test then want said product.supplier takes note and sees opportunity to get a few more dollars out of it.capitalism at its finest...

[@Rick-ho2ci]

It's $119 on their website

[@mikellewis2346]

@@Rick-ho2ci well at Amazon were he shows it selling at that price is changed at least. Lol

[@loveblindhate9318]

As always, thank you BigD!

[@jdmintegradp]

Wow, very very impressive, for that stinger amplifier. Never in a million years would I've thought that this little amp would be a little beast.

[@alanstant9356]

Very awesome review. Never knew that stinger made amps but now I do thanks to you Big D.

[@Tekjive]

Budget got a new king, and it’s Stinger, which is usually the standard for voltmeters in the basshead circle, not too damn bad.

[@dannyyarbrough915]

I like the information about the company and how the company grew to were they are today 🤗

[@adampaffrath4299]

Dayum! That amp had those subs slapping! I still have my top strong gear in box but I may grab this to see who’s king of small amps for under 120.

[@AllboroLCD]

Always impressive when a cheaply made product exceeds expectation. Those filter caps were really nothing to write home about. I'd imagine with a set of quality filter caps (nichicon nippon) it just be more icing on the cake ; )

[@juanroque4452]

Another great video Big D Williston appreciate your channel brother continued success always

[@glencalhoun9544]

That's awesome. I'd like to see the 2k tested as well. But I know you buy these so that would be a rough 1. But it would be cool to know if they all perform that well. Thanks for the vid brother.

[@RJSDZNS]

OMG BIG D! I'm going through my father in laws garage and I found a bass 48 car stereo system 4 and 8 ohm six watt from WAY back in the day. The coolest thing though is a model rr45ft original 8 track player for a car NEVER OPENED!!! It's a Ranger by Tenna!! I'm geeking out for sure!

[@N7-alpha]

The bass remote design is a installer thing makes it easy to hide it in a dash in any car.

[@snowsheldon77]

I’m still running an old Stinger amp that’s probably 20 years old power 2 twelves and it slams pretty good! I also live in AZ so it has endured several nasty hot summers and still keeps on going! But It’s finally starting to have a problem where it cuts out until I turn it up real loud so maybe I’ll just have to replace it with another stinger!

[@twiseii260]

Okay stinger… I see what y'all working with. I may have to give thier products a try sometime this year 👍🏾👍🏾🔊🎶🎵

[@jameskyser9423]

I am waiting on the D4S mini maxx tests. Once again D4S coming after my paycheck haha

[@wal]

Just a few weeks!

[@Chris-B-Bassin]

Impressive, hope they make some bigger monoblocks

[@iamgriff]

As a SKAR Amplifier owner, as fas as the Logo goes. That is the only difference between the SKAR and the Stinger. Even the packaging is synonymous less the logo. Even the ENGINEERED IN AMERICA, Made in china is the same font, location, and black block. My guess is these amps are made in the same factory, with two different brands name’s being applied

[@z1berzerker]

I have seen the amp for sale... excellent info as always 👌 Big D

[@warpedhifi1]

I always used Stinger's RCA's, been a big fan of them. Be interesting to see how the four channels do when they come out!

[@Kenmarshallintereststx]

Ordered the 2000 immediately before the greedy can raise the price. For once I finally caught one of your videos on time. Thanks Big D

[@bdc211]

i needed something for someone i know... thanks again Big D!!!!

[@Demobrosofficial]

Great little amp! Thanks for the video!

[@trucavalier]

Awesome amp review. 3 of these amps on 3 8’s would be killer $300 for 3000rms.
