CT Sounds CT-1000.1D Overview and Amp Dyno

[@onesikm3]

And half bridge for sure to answer your question. And I liked that little touch you added at the end! I’ve never seen anyone else do a certificate power rating card like that! Really sweet idea 😊 keep it up brotha !!

[@stereomojo]

I’m glad you like that! Thanks for the support!

[@7passu]

I have 6 of these amps in the CT line and they all do over their rated numbers with ease. Best thing to me is their simple clean looks and they are all the same size, just different lengths so they stack up really good together

[@stereomojo]

Wow, 6? That’s cool. Yes, I like the clean look of them as well.

[@beaublincoe608]

Wish someone would dyno brands like Audison. Just the entry level SR series. Very high end components at relatively reasonable prices. Best SQ I have heard after 35 years in car audio. They do show up on Amazon at very low prices from time to time. Really enjoy your videos.

[@stereomojo]

That’s a good suggestion. I’ve never messed with any of Audison’s stuff. Thanks for the support!

[@RyanBassForLife]

VERY NICE AMPLIFIER. If CT Sounds would start building the EXO 18" subwoofers there would be many people running CT sounds at the sound compitions.

[@stereomojo]

That would be cool for sure!

[@dherring44]

Been waiting for someone to dyno this amp. Great video 👍 🙏🏻

[@stereomojo]

Thank you!

[@johnmedrano9782]

Ct Sounds used to sell another brand of amplifier on their website, they packed the punch too. I can't remember the brand name now. It will come to me tonight when I am sleeping. Good video

[@stereomojo]

Thanks! I’d be interested to know that other brand if it comes to you.

[@johnmedrano9782]

Hi@@stereomojo
I found out the other brand of amplifiers CT Sounds offered for sale, in the past. It was called Execution Audio, I actually owned an EA1000. Now these EA amps were real budget bangers

[@murdermitten7507]

Oh yeah, ive said it before but i love the channel. Love the southern accent as well. Love seeing these smaller to midsized power amps getting some dyno love.

[@stereomojo]

Lol, I appreciate that! I know that I’m not a well polished speaker, but I’m just having fun!

[@murdermitten7507]

@@stereomojo fun is what it's all about.

[@murdermitten7507]

Ive never seen this amp dyno'd at all. Cant wait to see what she does.

[@JasonWW2000]

A quick way to tell if an amplifier is full Bridge or half bridge is that only a half bridge is capable of being strapped to another amp. A full Bridge amplifier is basically two half bridges in the same chassis connected together.

[@stereomojo]

Thanks Jason! I still have a lot to learn about the internals.

[@MrTwone79]

I got in on there black Friday sale i got there at150.6 now i have 3 of them they are amazing amps

[@Jpilgrim30]

I’ve been thinking about getting one to run some 3 way meso components for a front stage.

[@MrTwone79]

@@Jpilgrim30 u will not regret it if you don't like I'll buy it 😂

[@RyanBassForLife]

CT sounds is a nice brand but it's a shame they got rid of there 18" compition subwoofers. I got Soundqubed S1-2250.1 amplifiers and there also very amazing. Those 12" EXO subwoofers look nice but why don't they sell the 18" EXO subwoofers 🤔

[@jessekampegaard8491]

Nice little amp for sure. CT looks like great blue collar stuff lol.

[@unkowntrooper1657]

user error, my buddy been banging 2 in seperate cars and no issues

[@BDauto86]

Those CT line of amps are the same China boards as the scar and a few others, several companies brand the 1500s n 2ks.
IMO the Skar rp line does pretty well but I would rather have the CT sounds
Every Dyno or review video I've seen on them from the 700 to 3200w all did rated power certified and well beyond dynamically.
Hard to beat the holiday deals on the 1500, 2k and 3200.
The 3200 was 307$ that's a deal for 4k watt half bridge.

[@JasonWW2000]

Please don't confuse people by saying these amps are the same as some other brand. They are not the same. When you look at the basic layout of the circuit board and it looks very similar to another brand that just means that they both copied their board from the same older amplifier design. That's all it means. There could still be large differences as far as the components used, the brand, the ratings, the thickness of the circuit board, the preamp section etc etc.

[@bradgilpin9740]

Great video! The AT series amp are really nice amps. I had a AT1400.1V1 in the wife’s car and she loved it.
I have a request if you’re wanting to do a 3K. The Rockville DBcomp4. There an older amp but I don’t think anyone ever did a dyno on one. I had the DBcomp5 and it wasn’t the most efficient amp but it was a beast.

[@stereomojo]

Thanks Brad! I’m not familiar with those amps, but I’ll do a little research. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@natesomers5387]

Nice!!! could you try the Jp 13

[@stereomojo]

Yeah, I’d like to get one of those!

[@undernature2799]

My 2000.1d smoked itself,worked perfectly dialing in the 7 mag though 👍🤞 ill never waste a penny on them again

[@bigshow2cool]

My 3200 did as well

[@murdermitten7507]

Damn! .5 ohm ftw! Holy hell!

[@stereomojo]

I know, right! Stay tuned for next week’s video. It’s crazy how some amps can take it and some amps can’t!

[@bondalero0074]

I thought the D4S JP8 was the ONLY dependable D class amp capable of 0.5 ohm stability under 1K! Nice to see some competition; “Bring it on!”#D4S#JP8#🔊❤️🥊

[@Special.Purpose.Weapon]

I'm looking for a 4 channel full range to power 2 pair of Rockford Fosgate PUNCH 6"×9"s . I've been eyeballing the CT-80.4AB . My son runs that amp and it's a mini beast.

[@onesikm3]

Hey which recoil do you have still which model 4 channel is it ? Would you ship it to me in LA?

[@stereomojo]

It’s the DI 800.4

[@stereomojo]

Yes, I might. You should send me an email to [e-mail]

[@lilfridge5540]

Can you do a CT sounds AT1400.1 I just bought one and I’m curious how it will dyno?

[@rubenflores2870]

Hello I've been watching your videos and they're very helpful. I'm learning a lot from you. I'm looking for a good amp . And my friend has Jc power R3200.1 amplifier. I was wondering would you be able to do a Dyno test? Been hearing a lot of good things about this amp 😎🙏💯🔊

[@stereomojo]

Thanks a bunch! I’m not familiar with that amp. Where do you get them?

[@rubenflores2870]

Thank you for getting back to me the amplifier that I wanted to tryout it's on eBay. They have it in Merced California . But I was trying to find videos and there is really nothing on this amp .

[@FNRTHUGZY13]

Think this can hit 2 15s 600 rms each 2000 watt max

[@jccoffey23]

Try Surge Audio amps. I love them

what does dynamic mean?

[@edwinhoward6530]

stinger 1000 or this ct sounds??

[@stereomojo]

Oh boy, that’s a tough call!

[@murdermitten7507]

Probably which ever is cheaper.

[@onesikm3]

How many volts are those caps on to the left side the power input rail ? It tells us about the overall quality put into this thing. If you’d like to know more about caps I would gladly find some reading materials for you to get more familiarized with what’s what

[@JasonWW2000]

The voltage of the input capacitors really doesn't tell you anything about the quality. They could be 16, 18 or 20 volt just as long as it's rated higher than the input voltage.

[@onesikm3]

@@JasonWW2000 sure but when you see cheap over rated over compensating caps in the place where should lie a 16v input cap then that speaks a little bit about what the if any engineering was taken place at the time of construction or was this just another copy paste 30year old formula ?

[@JasonWW2000]

​@@onesikm3You don't need to look at the capacitors to know that. There's only a few amplifier brands out there that make original designs. CT sounds is definitely not designing their own amplifiers. This is definitely a clone amp.

[@nickelgracing9313]

@@JasonWW2000clone from skar or other china knock offs

[@JasonWW2000]

​@nickelgracing9313 Skar is another clone amp. Most of today's clone amps are copies of 20 year old designs. We get copies of copies. Sometimes the circuits are changed a little, like adding a clip light or some feature.
I'm not complaining, some of the brands use good components and good build quality and you get a very inexpensive amp.
The cheaper ones also have their place. There's a market for them.

Are you sure about your ohm load? I wonder if you’re wired at 1/2 ohm and don’t realize it.
