Wolfram W-4500.1 Amp Dyno and Unboxing

[@justinmurphy2227]

It amazes me how much of an amplifier you can get these days! I would never have dreamed that you could get 5000 Watts for $600! Great job Ryan and we appreciate all the work you do to bring us these videos.

That is a powerful amp! It is really nice to see a brand that is not well known but surpasses its rated power with flying colors. Great vid, and keep em coming!!!

[@catch22frubert]

Same board as the Twisted 3.5k for $200 less? That's a hell of a deal, especially if you use the promo code. Great to see a big amp on the Dyno. You killed it this week!

[@ls87gbody]

Not the same board

[@romans116notw]

Wolfram is smart because more people will buy this amp when considering other 4500 watt amps. Because If I needed that type of power I would definitely buy this before any others.

[@beeyondsr20det]

What is the reasoning though? Skar is proven.

[@jamiec6504]

After this video I ordered 2 of these Gems. I run them gain matched@1ohm on 2 Wolframaudio AU15'S D2 in a shared enclosure. Absolutely insane for a daily driver. Does hairtricks and over 150db. I got them for 530$ each the prices have gone up since then. If you can wait a few months for it too arrive this is a bad ass amplifier. Korean made similar to the old Twisted Sounds 3.5k. Lots of people have them wired @0.5 without problems.

[@shaunjay6040]

rob shekelberg you heard isn't the most reliable, but how can anyone argue with no footage of an actual test.. 😂 😂 😂

[@robshekelberg5315]

Shaun Jay well the smd forums say otherwise, nobodys really done a dyno of the amp yet , I think I'm gonna take my chances with the wolfram 4.5k it's only 600$ and does 5k unclipped at 1 ohm

[@shaunjay6040]

rob shekelberg I think the smd forums biggest complaint was the 10% THD. In which the 4500 is listed in the spec sheet to have 10%THD strapped, and even in the forum I don't recall anyone putting it on the dyno. At this point I think it's pretty much a Q1-3500 with a minor upgrade in the windings... We still deserve a real world test. Until then we're speculating.. I'm trying find out if I should sell it and go with the apocalypse 4k or 5500.

Make sure you give her a enough power as well, I'm running a stock alternator and a 200 ah lithium bank I built myself. Still a highly recommended amp IMO, hope this helps.

no clipping light is a deal breaker for me, that shows u that it's an older designed board, they probably bought the old leftovers. the clip light is a very nice feature to have, and soon most all amps will have them, I always play my subs at max, right up to where the clip light flashes then back down a tad.. and my clip light is dead on with the smd dd1.. nice power for ptice per watt though

[@ericperry72]

I have a amp recommendation, it's a 5 channel. The soundstream RN5.2000. under $250 and based on the xover can be used as a 3 way active setup with the sub channel actually running the front midbass drivers. Would love to see if this does rated

[@matt-be8kt]

There is no doubt the Wolframs perform. I have had my fingers in a 4500.1 and a 2500.1 and one of the big issues I have with them is the 85 degree celceous caps. Now any one that knows anything about caps knows you don't even get half the life as say a 105 or bigger. There are a few areas they went cheap on, but for the price they are a good buy. Long as you get a decent warranty. For the couple hundred extra I will stay with my splx Orions.

Yeah I actually pulled the back of my Wolfram off and compared it to my apocalypse aak55001d... The Wolfram is junk compared to the Apocalypse.

There new 7500 preorder is $999 - $99 if u use code gem at checkout, and it has a clipping light.. surprised they didn't send u one to test.. they probably didn't want to lose $100 on each order u get them.. I like that they offer a slice payment option that splits the payment into 4 payments, great deal.. I just don't like the way they look, they need a beefier heating, something that looks better. I know that's how they keep the cost down, I wonder where else they cut corners to make them more affordable.. a 7500 for 899 is unreal.. there has to be a catch somewhere.. my deaf bonce 4k was $692 shipped, still like to see that on a dyno, nobody's done it. I've seen it clamped 4400w @13.4v though and that's very impressive

[@bigblank69]

They did send me one to test but the prototype was 12v optimized and protects at 15.1v.... my set up is geared to start at 15.8v

[@yourpcmd]

And lets talk about amperage. The current draw on this thing is probably extensive. However, since they sent it to you to test, whats to say that that particular amp for general consumers are not built to the same standard as the one they sent you? A bait and switch so to speak because manufactures do that.
