Really liked the narration in this video. Explaining some of this stuff for big dummies such as myself, plus your friends electrical expertise combined with humor made this one of your best.

[@MeTuLHeD]

So BigD...you've been in this business long enough to know that just 10 years ago an amp which could drive a sub 1 ohm load would have been considered state-of-the-art. So yes. They lied about it's capabilities. Pretty typical in the car audio world. But within it's capabilities...say 500 watts into 4 ohms...it's a pretty decent performer.

[@thesuperpiper]

Back in the 90’s I’d take it for $150 for the amount of power it puts out and would of have had a lot more money in my pocket compared what I spent back then.

[@Choralone422]

I agree 100% it should be ILLEGAL to sell an amp with a rating like this. I could understand if it output even half of the rated power at 1ohm but certified it puts out way less than 20% of it's advertised power at 1ohm! That's criminal if you ask me. I'm sure some will say "well it puts out about 2k dynamic at 1ohm and it's cheap!" but that's still only 25% of the supposedly 8k it's being sold as! What if you bought a computer, even a cheap one and the CPU in it only ran at 15-25% of it's rated speed at a maximum? You'd return it as defective! But it's supposed to be OK in the car amp world? I think not!

That is actually a very good idea. It would be a welcome addition to the specs you give for every amp at the beginning of the video.

That way we can figure out price per lb

[@peterkay2406]

What's the sense in that? It's not going to tell you much other than how thick one manufacturer makes the back plate vs. other manufacturers back plate. I figured that out once when comparing a Soundstream amp vs. Hifonics. The Soundstream was quite a bit heavier and found out when removing the plate to see inside, the plate was extremely heavy vs. Hifonics paper thin plate.

So funny, I had a JBL BP 150.1 on a DVC Orion XTR back in 1999 in a sealed hatch box in my little celica and it destroyed my friends huge boss amp with 2 power acoustic 12s and two other generic 12s.

[@mazda2284]

i love sam's descriptions !!!! hahahahahaha

[@cpufrost]

Also another thing to consider regarding efficiency is the wasted power must be dissipated by the heatsinks! A 75% efficient 10kW amp must be able to dissipate 2500W! Unless it's water cooled (with a huge radiator mind you!) or absolutely HUGE, it's gonna get super hot really fast. This is why touring (PA) amps are super efficient (best designs mid 90s) and have screaming fans to keep the air moving. Once your silicon reaches its max temp, it has to shut down or cut output which in the case of live performance duty is not acceptable. Of course auto duty is nowhere near 100%. Alternators and batteries would founder fairly quickly with those draws! Also with the IR gun shooting metal, it's not going to record temps accurately without either adjusting something called emissivity. If this isn't possible, put some blue masking tape on a smooth part BEFORE beginning tests and meter that. Granted a shiny box (RF 1000 Pro) is going to really be off whereas a bead blasted metal matte finish will be closer to reality. I'm definitely "old school" and my friend, those watts are called Pyramid Watts! :P
