  • Unscientific review of Chinese amps. Just sharing what I think about them before someone spends all of $3... or something like that

    In my opinion a bad review, because of using speakers without housing. This gives a bad impression!

    • @dalybaz
      @dalybaz 5 років тому +1

      Using speakers without a baffle is probably the second best way of blowing them up. The best way by far is wiring them directly across the power supply. I'm actually quite surprised I didn't see this happen in the video.

    How can you seriously expect to judge sound quality via such horrendously crappy 'speakers?

    Thanks for making this vid, I've tested the TDA7297 module and it sounds surprisingly good and loud with low distortion

    You leave the viewer with the wrong impression that these are cheap bad amplifiers while in fact they are very good. TPA3116 is almost IDEAL amplifier, powerful, flat response, low noise, low distortion, compact and power efficient. You say it is unscientific review but if it was scientific you will have a hard time finding a better amplifier than TPA3116. Your problems with it are caused by you.

      i think no. because he demonstrated it and we saw it. maybe that was other TPA3116. there are variety of this TPA3116.

    You fulfilled my wish by included various types of audio amplifier board on one platform with different ICs! Keep it up your updated works with promise to include some left out amplifier board with the likes of TDA, TPA, TAS and LM ranges in future!

    Helpful comparative video of ultra-cheap chinese Amps, so thank you.
    In future, please do perform similar tests, but with the speakers in enclosures. It's almost impossible to tell how good the amp really is at driving the speaker when it is not shifting any air.

    Of the one you picked as best, what might be the improvements.
    I found having to re-solder was essential. The solder on this unit deteriorates fairly quickly. The rest of the unit has worked non-stop for over 3 years, without fault.

  • @jean4756
    @jean4756 6 років тому

    Hey brother. Lm386 is to work max 6v dc or 7v dc max.... And 500mha at 600mha and max 700mha. And you input power supply 12v dc... Burn kkk not supor above 7v dc 700mha ok... And tda7297 is to dual 15w stéreo ... Power supply 14v 2A max. Good is 12v or 14v dc 1.2A at 1.5Aamps. Tpa3116D2 yes very good power strong with 18v dc 4A or max 22v dc 3A ok. Very high volts burn fire all amplifiers... Good vídeo tank you. You winner my like ok. Yes i like your test board amplifiers ok perfect. Caution in power supply please.

  • @kimatong1166
    @kimatong1166 6 років тому +1

    On TPA3116D2, how big is you power supply for this? It could be your power supply's current limit that causes that thumping.

    • @88s10Durango
      @88s10Durango 6 років тому

      The Tpa3116D2 amps are great , people allways Fup on the power supplys , they put very little watts out at a 12vdc > 3 amp supply ,,, 8 0hm load needs 24vdc @ 4 amps ,, 4 ohm load needs 21vdc @ 6 amps ...

  • @peteytwofinger
    @peteytwofinger 6 років тому

    use a cardboard box and fashion a makeshift speaker enclosure . something is better than nothing in this case - a lot better . love the magic smoke . the7297 is not a class d , it eats power , the tpa can work very well , i swear by those for my application which is different , but i find that issue curious as i never ran into that motorboating .

    • @ideatechnology2689
      @ideatechnology2689 6 років тому

      It works fine. but if the amplifier have more than 5 watt and you turn the volume up the sound will getting loud with a bad sound quality. I recommend you to but the speaker that have exactly the same power that provide by the amplifier so the sound will be great

    im planning to buy tpa3116 2.1 channel 50w+50w+100w.. rating at 18-24volts. my question is .. i have a power supply of 19volts at 3.45amps .. would it be ok to use it with this ampere.?

    • @MechanicalAttraction

      It should work but probably not a maximum performance

    • @kimatong1166
      @kimatong1166 6 років тому

      You are supplying only (19Volts x 3 amps) 57watts to a 200watts amplifier. Use 24Volts 10Amp power supply. This can supply the amp and still doesn't sound good because those advertised max power of tpa3116 is at 10% THD.
