I'd love to see a 5 channel. Not many inexpensive 5 channel out there

[@stereomojo]

That would be cool for sure!

[@anthonyfejeran1891]

Congrats man and all the luck to you in your new business. Hopefully you'll be able to expand and bring more to the market. Again, congrats man.

[@stereomojo]

Thanks for the support and encouragement Anthony!

[@RomaVilla]

I love those Tiffany style rca inputs. Nice looking amp for sure. I would definitely like to see a 4 channel

[@stereomojo]

@@RomaVilla thanks a bunch! Yeah, I’m happy about the Tiffany RCAs too. I am considering doing a 4 channel

[@phila8160]

Im going to get one to support you in your new venture. Ive stayed away from Brazilian full bridge anps and this will be my first one. Good luck with the new company and you know im going to need Welsh Audio Tshirt and a matching 4 channel!

[@BlueTegu360]

Full bridge is better below 100hz anyway, International Rectifier (The company who makes the vast majority of components for class D amps) has released various white papers on the subject.

[@stereomojo]

Lol, that’s awesome! Thanks Phil! Shirts and 4 channel amps is a good idea. Ha!

[@kc0otv1]

The bass know need to be green to match

[@stereomojo]

@@kc0otv1 that would be cool!

[@colorblind1983]

Yes sir! I would like to see those other testing videos!

[@ironbalance]

Same power and very similar to the Sundown Audio SFB-3000D. I am gonna have to get one of these Welsh 2k.

[@stereomojo]

That’s awesome! They happen to be on sale right now!

[@Thumper68]

The square style transformers in those Brazilian amps is the big difference

[@kc0otv1]

And a good price will sell . With the right people pushing and running it right

[@stereomojo]

I think you’re right!

Do you know Blake Brockhaus who's working at Digital Designs in Oklahoma? He's got access to DD's Audio Precision amp tester. You might try getting ahold of him to see if he will test it for you. You'll get ALL the info with that device.

[@stereomojo]

No, I don’t know him, but that would be cool!

[@ronaldklein4050]

Mine is up and running at 1 ohm, hits harder than the Taramps 1800.1 I was running.

[@stereomojo]

Thanks Ronald!

[@rubenflores2870]

Wow this amplifier looks great . Good job basic little amp , and pushes the true power 🔊🔊🔊🔊💯 💪. Am going to get market place. How much are you going to sale your amps for?

[@stereomojo]

Thanks Ruben! They’re $180 on ebay and $150 on marketplace for a local meetup.

[@beaublincoe608]

Please show us some dynamic testing! 😁

[@stereomojo]

That’s a good idea. I may do that soon. Thanks!

[@BlueTegu360]

@@stereomojo I'm considering a pair of Slapz Audio neo 15s in an infinite baffle setup ☺️

[@RyanBassForLife]

Nice I like your amplifier.

[@stereomojo]

Thanks Ryan!

[@DustmanDiagnostics]

I have one of your amplifiers in my cart right now. What are your thoughts on running it on a SKAR VXF 15D2? Thanks brother.

[@stereomojo]

That’s awesome! That would actually be a really good match-up! If you get it, just wire it to 1 ohm and stay out of clipping.

[@DustmanDiagnostics]

@@stereomojo I was thinking the same thing. I will need to add a second alternator to keep my truck running for starters. There are no high output models available for my truck. I currently have a SKAR 75.4AB for the front stage and a single RP1200.1 running an Alpine SWX12D4 @2ohms. Those 2 amps alone will shut my truck off at idle pulling 200+ amps of current. Was much worse when I had the RP1200.1 @ ½ohm running two SKAR EVL12D2's in a Gately Audio enclosure tuned at 35Hz. Playing down to 17Hz was the thing to do with that beast, but would kill the power to the PCM and shut down the engine, lol.

[@stereomojo]

@@DustmanDiagnostics oh wow! What kind of truck do you have?

[@DustmanDiagnostics]

@@stereomojo 2002 Mitsubishi Montero XLS. The interior has been fully fortified with SecondSkin Pro sitting on 33x11.50 R18's with Centerline rims. Amazing work truck/SUV/grocery getter/family hauler. Currently at 226k miles.

[@stereomojo]

@@DustmanDiagnostics cool! That’s about the right size cabin to get loud in.

[@victorcalcala]

So I bought one used about a week ago from this young kid from cullman. I figured you installed it for him, but anyway, I am no expert at all so I know I did do something wrong, but I don’t know what, I live in Danville now. So if you could somehow give me your number. I’ll give you a call or video call this Saturday and see if you could tell me how to set up the system.

[@stereomojo]

Ok, shoot me an email to [e-mail]

[@edwinhoward6530]

looks very nice, but why do full bridge amps of this size always come with 4 gauge instead of 0? big price difference?

[@robcooper3171]

If you get True Quality OFC wire 4g can support up to 3k if you have short runs like Suv with a battery or lithium bank in the back hatch next to the sub box. Anything over like 6ft run or so then you'll use 1/0 with 4g reducer. The newer generation Full bridge amps are starting to become very efficient. Korean amps are very efficient as well but in order to make power they WANT POWER. most are standard 1/0 or multiple runs of 1/0 being more than 1 terminal head on the amplifier.

[@Thumper68]

Let’s see 5hem all bro

[@robcooper3171]

Most certainly post those up buddy so all of us can see what you were seeing.

[@stereomojo]

You’re talking about the other samples right?

[@robcooper3171]

@stereomojo correct. I'm sure other folks have thought about having their own amps made I know I have. Just to have something with your own creativity and name means alot.

[@robcooper3171]

I think Audiopipe made a 2k was meant to be a 3k not that exact finish because it's audiopipe. Should be the same board similar features. Marked as a 3k but max power was 2100 to 2400 BigD did a video on it.

[@stereomojo]

@@robcooper3171 yes, exactly. I agree. I may start switching those over to public view starting next weekend. I uploaded them a couple of moths ago, but kept them private. That way I could free up the storage space on my phone. They’re pretty interesting. Thanks!

[@stereomojo]

@@robcooper3171 I’ll check it out. Thanks

[@1ohmwrecker]

As long as you can be atleast in same price range as Taramps, they should sell🤷‍♂️

[@stereomojo]

The new price on eBay is $160 with free shipping. $130 on Marketplace with a meet-up. I hope you’re right!

[@1ohmwrecker]

@stereomojo based on that, you got a good shot man! Have you tried posting on tiktok? Car audio community pretty huge on there. It'll get u alot of eyes on it🤷‍♂️

Yes, especially wiring it to 4 ohms, that’s smart. Then you’ve got plenty of power available if you need it in the future.

[@barnes29510]

I'm lost... I see 1 input jack and 1 output jack.... Can I just run this over to the other amp (other amp has 4 inputs jacks and 2 bridge jacks )... I'm stuck 😅

[@stereomojo]

@@barnes29510 the WA-2K only requires 1 RCA since it is a 1 channel amp, but you can plug both RCAs into the amp with no issues. If you run 1 to the amp and 1 out of the amp (to another) amp, that will work, but keep in mind that the single RCA going to another amp will only run 1 channel. You can use a splitter, but the fade and balance won’t work correctly.

[@barnes29510]

@@stereomojo I gotcha... I kind of figured that was the way I'd have to do it... So I went to a sound shop at the beach and picked up a crossover (DS18) 3 way and grabbed a sound stream digital bass bass restore processor.

Can I use this amp as a mid-range amplifier?

[@stereomojo]

Yes, but it could be overkill power wise, depending on how many speakers you put on it. Also, it’s a 1 channel, so the ohm load is important. And there would be no fading or balance.

The name is a tad confusing. I thought it was made in Wales.
