To be honest I’m not sure. I have tested several modern class d monoblock amps that are affordable, but it seems most of the budget companies are really focusing g on the clone monoblock stuff. Likely because the cheaper class D full range amps are terrible. I would look at Alpine, Rockford Fosgate to be able to give you something decent for the price range you are in. It’s hard to get the bigger companies to offer stuff up to test. I can’t buy anymore stuff to test. Please subscribe. It helps.

You can buy 10 pairs of cheap sneakers or Nikes. Who wants to keep swapping junk out. It’s components and build quality that cost money. At least you can identify the features here. Sometimes you can’t and that’s when you are truely get ripped. The ATH is closer to $300 actually. The info they told me was wrong. They contacted me after the video was out. Dummies. lol.

So far that is my experience. I haven’t invested in anymore expensive class d amps but if they come my way I will follow up! Thanks. Hope you subscribe for more.

Interesting. I have another power supply I’m gonna add to run in parallel to help voltage drop. 1280 @ 12.8 should do a bit more at 13.6 or so. I would guess it should do it’s rated. Do sure why you would buy a $400 amp and spend a few thousand on alternators, wiring, and batteries. lol. In an upcoming video I’m gonna put some of these woofers in my Silverado and test them. It’s crazy how load a single 12” can do.

FYI this stuff is actually cheaper than I posted. They contacted me. I will do a follow up video in the near future.

We got ours from extremecaraudio.de they have great prices and ship from Germany. We will have the shallow flax set ready to test in a few weeks.

They are definitely more stout and sound way better but they are 2-3 times more!

They are nice and really stout.

would have been if the monoblock wasn't DOA. I did get a refund

totally agree with you. This woofer did pound and handled a lot of power, but on actual music it was too boomy. I also switched it to my unnamed woofer aka "R" and it paled in comparison at a pretty similar price point. People have always wanted to get what they pay for in car audio, and there has always been those that screw you, we called them poser brands! As always, thanks for the comments!

You think everything goes rated power now? Definitely not. Other people have tested this same amplifier and only got maybe 1200-1300 watts. So this one does not make rated power. It can be a real roll of the dice with amplifiers. The Infinity subs are usually hand me down designs from the JBL subs. Whenever a JBL sub is discontinued, they will change it cosmetically and sell it as the newest Infinity sub. The very latest Infinity Kappa sub with SSI is the cosmetically changed JBL Stadium sub. I've got the Stadium 12" and it is quite amazing. It's one of the fastest and most dynamic subs I've heard and it plays flat down to 22hz. Really amazing for around $120.

​​⁠I would love the test that infinity sub. It looks cool. Spoiler. The A**ne type R was much better than this ATG for overall output as well as musically. They are similarly priced.

I've recently been testing a 12" Type R, since they are so popular. I got a previous generation one, like from around 2020. In my opinion, it's all rumble and no impact. Not very musical. Fine for rebassed music, but lacks that fast, dynamic punch you want for traditional music. Great efficiency and gets loud, but not suited for a high end sound quality build. I think the current JBL Club, Arena X and Stadium (now the Kappa SSI model) all sound better. Tested on a Rockford amp (Prime 500.1) as they can produce the fast pulses and control the subs better than some other brand amplifiers. All the subs were tested in the same ported box. 2 cubes net, tuned to 22hz with 6" cylindrical port in a full size suv. My theory is Alpine chose to sacrifice a bit of SQ in order to achieve that huge Xmax and Xmech. I'd like to test the model below the Type R, called the Type S. It looks pretty interesting.

@ Those Infinity’s are the best I have ever owned. Didn’t know about the JBL situation. I actually thought it was the other way around when Infiniti would discontinue something they would pass it on to the JBL line. I guess around 25 years ago I had some JBL 12s couldn’t stand the way. They sounded very weak. But then again that was a long time ago and to be honest it was probably an entry-level sub. Just curious, have you ever heard in person a Rockford Fosgate 10 inch P3? I can’t help but wonder which one would be better sounding the infinity that I have the high-performance line or the Rockford Fosgate P3? I honestly don’t know maybe the infinity is a tad bit more musical but the Fosgate is still known to be a SQ sub that can deliver a lot of low end.

Active can make some bad speakers livable. These did well. I have some other sets to test again soon My next video I test a $2000 2 way set!

Thanks. Let me know what you would like to see more of. New amp tests?, Speaker tests? Oldschool gear? Junky yardsale/thrift store finds? Personally I like the last two categories!

Brother, you just said the same thing I said in the video!

Cool.

That could work. Parts express has a lot of affordable drivers that would work. Although how I test them is similar to using g in home use. Go for it. Thanks for the reply.

I did that in this video. They pound. Not so great on regular music but they pound. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.

I need non copyright music!

@ The channel needs non copyright music, you just need good music. :)

It's same price as the stinger 4k and that did over 6k on the dyno!

Amazon is where I've been getting my ATG stuff. Where else can I get ATG ? Amazon doesn't have the subwoofers or monoblock amps in anymore.

How would you be able to get their product for $75 if they sell it to the public for $479? That math doesn't add up. It seems like your trying to con someone. 🧐

Well I’d did like 980 at 13.6 at 2 ohms so I would say it would do close to 2k. Make sure you’re subscribed!

I might question the made in Germany, as one of the tweeters was dead right out of the box! Yes, these are made in China. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe for more

I hear you. The biggest issue is I am connecting and disconnecting those cable so much that they wear out in a few months. I have some better ones I will put in there when I redo the bench in the hopefully near future. To be honest. A few years back I did a test with two sets of 16’ cables. One very cheap and one that was reasonably expensive. I didn’t notice a difference. Maybe some high tech measuring equipment could but my ears could not. My bench has a total of 8 pairs or cables. Maybe I can get a sponsor! Thanks for watching. I am always upgrading as time and money is available!

I asked Jeff Priddy about fixing it. He never really got back to me and I forgot. Cosmetically it is good. I have a few slightly new units that I was hoping might be able to sacrifice their guts to fix this one. Just not wanting to spend a ton to fix it. I have a lot of Alpine head units if you have watched any of my other videos. Thanks for watching. Hope youre subscribed! I have a lot of old school stuff.

So did these amps come out in 2006? The oldest reviews I saw for this model was 2008.

Good to know. I always think of Diamond as a cheap brand, but I know they once were near a premium brand (like so many others). Opening them up wasn't really impressive. I was hoping to use them in a customers car and make a few $$$. I appreciate your always useful insight. Thanks BTW, I got the chance to demo a set of JL C7's on my bench. You will have to wait for the video on my opinion!

@jasonww2000. I can actually look up the exact date when we received the first one as I was in charge of ordering but iirc it was 3rd quarter of 2005. Ultimate electronics always seemed to get Diamond first as we were a flagship dealer for them and we sold a TON of Diamond. Honestly was never impressed with any of it with the exception of the D6 components which were ok I suppose, but I was upset that Boston disappeared at that time so that was the line they decided to pick up. I was pushing for Focal back then and they just wouldn't listen sadly. Well we've all seen where Focal is now and where Diamond is

​@melissathompson7229 This brings back memories. My first really good component set was the Diamond DA 6.6. Eventually I overheated them. My guru/dealer said, "Hey, try these mids". Turns out they were Focal K2's. I was in love again. I've used K2's ever since. I noticed that Diamond products seemed to get cheaper and cheaper. It's like they gradually declined.

​​⁠I’m sure the car audio industry was really crazy back at that time. So many Legacy companies went away or were bought for a name. When industries lose passion, and focus on profits, the decline is near. Thanks for the info.

I have seen that. I look once in a while. Please subscribe for more, oh I have more!

Good to know. I thought I heard it click, but it might have been the 4 channel amp. I’m gonna mess with it today a bit before I take them back. Thank you

@@Hi-Fire-do i heard it click too, but they can click, yet not pass any signal depending on which pins have broken connection

@@RavenousBitchProductions Without knowing how it outputs I'm not going to mess with it. These are just OK, I was hoping to use them in a customer build and make a few $$$$. thanks

You see the side of the amp where the big transformer is, that's the power supply side. The transistors closest to the transformer are the ones switching for the power supply. The other half of the amp is your output section, which has transistors for the output channels.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

I think the company was sold about that time. These were their top stuff I believe. I’m bummed the monoblock is dead.

come on . he cant recognize a relay and the transistors of the channels and distinguish mosfets and diodes from those transistors .

​@@tolgadabbagh1877 Not everyone knows electronics

No he can’t. I’m a manufacturing engineer not an electronics repairman.

I spent sometime today looking at it. I’m good at lots of things including diagnosing electrical, but I don’t have the time to pick up a new trade. I have some soldering work to do and need to practice a bit before I butcher something up!

Thanks buddy. I can only be good at so many things.

I think they are likely mediocre. I couldn’t find prices on them.

wait until I release the video on the JL C7, they are $2000. The Hyanka has machined baskets, and they are under $100. JL better wake up! thanks for watching Please subscribe!

It’s definitely not junk. While it may be the same or similar to others stuff, it’s really cheap and likely you will get better service. The company seems legit. Thanks for watching. I hope you are subscribed.

@@Hi-Fire-do I have dealt with them I actually have a feature coming up on my show soon. They seem attentive at least to me. I like to pay attention to the budget end of the niche helps keep prices down. ;)

@BassDad-TV yeah. So it seems that companies are using small social media entities to do their marketing. Or affordable and seem impartial and legitimate to consumers. Hyanka as well as others have never asked or made any demands after offering equipment to test. These guys follow up and if you look they even left comments. Makes me wonder who actually these companies are and how they operate. Heck they could be AI contacting us!

I was expecting a really boomy sound from them or lazy response on just everyday music, but yeah they just did their thing. Just for reference I did swap them for an unnamed expensive sub we will call “R” and there was a difference, but at 1/3 the price! China mass production for the win. Thanks for watching. I hope you are subscribed to see more!

I kinda did. They have a different sound. They are very mellow and never too much. Most speakers need to be adjusted down, while these need to be turned up in the same place others get turned down. Hope you’re subscribed. Thanks for watching.

Thanks!

I might check one out. Thanks.

Other companies are selling the same or similar for more. It's solid for the price. Hope you subscribe.

@@Hi-Fire-do i've been subbed already for quite awhile 👍

Go get one! This stuff is budget, but its solid stuff. Keep in mind other companies are likely selling the same stuff for more. Hope you're subscribed!

I need to look at what I have.

What do you think of the last to units on my bench? The 3rd unit is really cool. It’s from 2000 and it’s AiNet, no internal amp. I believe it was the top unit for the year. I only wish it was green like the one to the left of it which is from the same year, which I got it new in the box. The far right has optical and also has the imprint capability. Weird it doesn’t have a motorized face. Of course the 5903 on the far left. I love that thing. It is in really nice shape, but I need a bezel for it. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.

@Hi-Fire-do yeah those are cool. I also got that equalizer you have and and a bunch of others. Alpine itself stopped making their own units from scratch in the start of 2000. Before 2000 all units were designed and built with alpine specific circuitry, chips and mechanics. After 2000 they turned just like every other legendary brand into the "from the generic parts bin" business model. On the pre 2000 units there is a lot of cool tricks you can do. Swap faceplates for different. Colors. Integrate balanced ins and outs. If they are amp less you can put amp chips on them.

I really didn’t like the infinity kappa. Feel free to message me directly on Instagram I have a set of the NVX 3 ways for sale. instagram.com/hifi_re_do?igsh=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==
