![Taramps Smart 3 Detailed Review and Amp Dyno - 3000 watts Done Right! [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DxMGPhNASl4/mqdefault.jpg)
As someone who was around to see the first 1k watt amps in stores for well over $1k, seeing these amps are a real kick.
Tell me about it. The RF Power 1000 in my day was $2650
theres no comparison. the power 1000 is full range class ab. this is class d and over 5 percent distortion.
@@davidstevens7809 you missed the point of the conversation entirely. It was about the decline in cost per watt in 30-40 years. There was no consumer class d amps when the 1k watt barrier was broken.
Smacking myself in the head now it's stupid cheap
@@sneezinhatch did you buy one of the U Series before they went on sale?

Have a soundqubed amp and it’s awesome running 4 12’s with it now !!!! Never had any issues with it at all!!! Would highly recommend it!!!
These inexpensive amps are what makes car audio fun again!!!
No joke, got a plan in my head for a 150+dB budget build in my head now. Back in the day 150dB was insane, I believe at one point the world record was like 153. Now you can do it budget.
These video are masterpieces created with perfection. I been watching these videos for 4 plus years and each video is the best education of audio that you can learn. I'm getting one of these amps for Christmas this year. This is the kind of amp that you need to have plenty of watts yet setting your gain properly to not burn or blow your subwoofers and running at the proper level you can play this amp for thousands of hours and this amplifier will never overheat. These amps were engineered by amazing people to help give the watts for creating sound.
Thats CRAZY I literally left a comment a day or 2 back asking about this series and big D DELIVERS thanks for the vids and reviews man. My main source of info right here
I just knew you wanted to see it 😬🤙
I run two of the u1-1500 amps (one on each sub) with upgraded electronics for 1.5 years now daily with no problems. Love these little amps under my truck seat
Great feedback 👌
ive been waiting for this video since the u series dropped. Thank you sir
That’s just amazing the direction amps are going….You had me sold for the AudioPipe 3000 amp….
Wow I’m just amazed on how far we came and still continuing on audio technology!! Pretty soon we go have a amp the size of a Nintendo switch that push out 2k lol
With horrible thermal control
@@chaseleim4773
Exactly
You've got to make them bullet-proof.
The mobile environment is brutal just as a baseline.
Add in some serious thumpage while operating w/marginal electrical systems; recipe for disaster.
These amps must be made to a wickedly robust build spec.
Honestly didn't think it'd do as well. We already all know folks will be running 4 guage CCA on stock electrical if they barely have to drop a bill on the amp. Excellent video as always Dwiz
I wasn’t sure it would survive. It was slamming those 12’s too!
@Kswis lol same exact thing I started to think after the shock of being able to order these U Series full range Soundqubed amps beyond dirt cheap! I think maybe that is why they make you check a box on the site when placing the order acknowledging that you are aware stock electrical is a no no, and then to be double sure they include a letter in each amp so when you open it you get reminded again not to run the amp on stock electrical. I think Soundqubed was smart in taking those precautions.
Personally I got a U1-3000 (to put away with many others I have collected) & a U4-500 that I plan on trying to find the perfect match of drivers for to really boost my midrange soundstage.
Yea all copper got way too expensive way too quick. For daily bumpage you don’t need it and can do CCA. Honestly ain’t no one needs this amp unless you doing db Drag competitions. I hate those hex screws. They strip so easily (not the threads, the heads!). Bring back Philips head. Also those kickers could barely handle 300 rms, how they still move?!
@@hardtymz2517 I definitely agree with you on copper getting too expensive, though it had never been cheap atleast not in my lifetime. But copper has went through the roof over the last year.
hardtymz2517 I got admit though about 3 years ago I've started using all OFC wire for everything when I'm doing car audio (unless I've got room to use 2/0 ga CCA then I'll use CCA). If it doesn't benefit me then oh well, it's my $ wasted BUT I have had no issues so far (Knock on wood). Very solid power to my amp, solid grounds, no odd wiring issues I've had to trace. I've even been buying tinned ofc when it's available in the specific brand that I'm buying. Could companies had some killer sales on ofc around a year ago so I bought four 50' spools of tinned ofc during one sale (2 red spools & 2 black spools). Then D4S ran a killer sale on all their Certified Basshead wire so I bought 4 spools of their 2/0 gauge CCA (2 red spools & 2 black spools). So I should be good on power & ground wire for a while. Rather have it & not need it. I'm hoping copper wire & lots of other things will go back to their previous prices when things steady out but I fear that will not happen.
@@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128 I use 0 gauge welding wire 100% copper.
I had the U1-8000 and I absolutely loved it!!
👌😬👍
How much do you clamp out of it??
@Corey Reeves what happened to it? You sell or trade it?
Curious about longevity and overall SQL, but the fact that it was at $119 for a bit and delivers beyond 3000 watts is incredible. Back in the 90's, I remember seeing junk that claimed they were doing 1.5k+ on the cheap and the RMS was probably no more than 500 "unclean" watts. There were only a handful of reputable players in the game that could deliver true 1k+ amps, and you were paying $1/watt or much more depending where and what you were looking for. Considering inflation and everything else over time, the game has changed a lot in terms of watt/dollar.
heh, remember Lanzar and their "2k claimed" amps xD
Nice video as allways thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you so much for testing this amp. I bought the 5000 watt model last year when they came out. The worst part is the bass knob. I haven’t had any problems with it, but I didn’t use it very long because my pre order came through on the CAB 45
CAB 22 & 45 amps are both beasts from what all I've heard. I ordered the 3000w Soundqubed (have no use for it right now but I can't pass up a sale like that) & the U4-500 amp. Can't wait to find some legit speakers to hook up to this 4 channel Soundqubed amp!
I bought the U1-5000 and U4-500. The 5000 is pushing and I've only run it at 4 and 2 ohm loads. That bass knob is pure trash though. I use the one off my LOC which is pretty mid honestly.
Nice quality amp. I picked up one of these amps today. I loved the sfb1500 I had no issues whatsoever.
I have a sfb5000 & bought the Soundqubed U1-3000 & the U4-500. Also have a Taramps Smart3 & md8000. And of course lots of half bridge Korean board amps.
I still have the 600w lol! It gets hot, definitely needs fans! Thanks for the video! Love this channel!
Thank you.
I was waiting on buying one of these 3ks til you made a dyno of it. I run soundqubeds..well...everything in my car and wanted more power.
👌😬👍
I'm running a soundqubed 6.5 sub and it's no joke! This brand is pretty damn good!
👌😬👍
Post some vids
I love your videos! Thank you so much for cutting through all the BS!!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I came upon the sale and the UI-3000 was sold out. So went with the UI-5000 and the bought 2 of the UI 4 channel amps. Best Deals I've gotten in a long time.
Crazy dealz!
@@wal I was so impressed (previously had Hifonics BRX 2600.1D & BXX 800.4 powering 2-12" Soundqubed Subs/4 - D4S-60 6.5" speakers) I went back a few days ago to buy another one...but sale was over 😔.
Wow just like the sundown same circuit board keep up the good work Big D nuff respect 👍 👍
got one of these right before they went out of stock last week :P pretty happy with it.
😬👍
Love that intro song my man!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Bought this amp on-sale. Then bought the jp23 v2 also. Will soon put those 2 to the test @1
I would be nice if you could start adding some more tests, like noise floor, turn on thump, frequency response like sweep or pink noise electrical output reading. Power is a thing but if the amp is hissing as hell or distort anything higher than 10khz, that's not ideal... Continue the great work, you have became the reference for amp testing on UA-cam.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a HP Audio analyzer I’m planning on adding in to some future tests. Mainly just the SQ related amps tho
I really wanted to see this one on a dyno. Been recommending this amp because of the price point. Thanks!
I did it cause I knew y’all would wanna see it
@@wal you really need to run for POTUS! You'd have a lot of people backing you the minute you tossed your hat in the ring! You'd have my vote fo' sho (which in all honesty would be insane considering I do not know your view points, position on ideas, etc but I get the feeling we'd see 👁 2 👁 on things).
@@wal I have the 8k version of this amplifier U series.
Does it work? Geezz... You keep bringing up metal vs plastic bass knobs. I need you to do tests on bass knobs my boi. Like fr, you bring it up so much, it warrants a thorough analysis.
Thanks for the suggestion
Good God, that Lil' hustler is a monster! Thanks for another great vid Big D. I too am, OUTTA HEAH 👍🏼
👌😬👍
Look to have a strong grip on the quad box crazy value 😀
I can't believe how far class D has come. The density of this unit is incredible.
Yeah it’s kinda insane
For those just now watching, been pushing mine to max on .5 ohms for over a year now, and it seems to love it! so glad I got it before it disappeared!
Ur brave pushing full bridge at .5! Just smoked a brand new jp23v2 after 10 minutes at .5. looking for a fill in amp to pushy Avatar stu 12, looking at a 5k fullbridge but scared ASF of em
@@erik120719 the Jp Amps are not robust at all man. JP is just a master at marketing, I love the dude but his products are hit or miss these days.
Love that intro
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Really liking that squared off look kinda old school look
👌😬👍
Hopefully it will give taramps a run for the money!!! The bass knob does seem cheep but at least it has one!!!
Okay I am impressed. I’m still running my RF Power 1100a2 and Power 800a4 from new. But man those numbers are so impressive
I can imagine how this would cost me back in the 80's and 90's 😂 in 91 my setup was really up there 🤦♂️
Big D.. Whats up!! Love the Videos.. I know you documents all the Amps you Dyno.. Do you have a list or "best of" of the budget Subwoofer amps tested in regards to efficiency especially at 1 ohm Dynamic?? I ended up getting rid of the Skar rp1200 cause your video pointed out how poor the efficiency was...
Wish they did home audio that kicks this hard for this cheap
When I'm doing system installs. I can't stress it enough either Big D that upgrades to electrical systems are a must with big power pulling amps. You never know when that alternator is going to go out on you on those stock electrical systems.
omg... the insides vs my old RF1000BD... and triple the power! wow!
Thats not too bad. The bass knob may be a deal breaker for me. I am loving the clip light on my JP23 bass knob. I know there are some budget amps now as well, I think the Black Diamond amp review had one. When you really want to go full tilt it is great to have, I don't think I could go back. Then again, getting 3k amps at $120 a pop is hard to resist.
@Murray Sheckleberg why don't you get a bass remote with clip light (Soundqubed even sells them on their site for their other amps) & see if it works. I'm leaning towards it probably would work considering the U1 series amps have clip lights on the amp itself. Therefore it has the ability to detect clipping so it probably has the ability to send it to clip light via remote. I could be wrong but I planned on trying it sometime myself since I have several bass remotes with clip lights that I have checked & they each will indeed plug into my U1-3000 that I ordered. Maybe someone will even try this & post about it before I get time to test mine out. I'm thinking they just used the Super cheapo bass remote to keep prices at rock-bottom below their competition. So many bassheads cars less about factory bass remotes because they are choosing to go with fancy ones like 'Slam Pandas' and others.
@@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128 The Soundqubed Q series knobs won't work, but the Sundown SFB knobs do work and can be found on eBay for less than $40
I wanna get this amp or the ampere 2k....I have a 100 amp alt with two batteries and the big 3. Would I be able to run this at 2ohms with My electrical setup?
Audioque/soundqubed has always been in my top 10. Always giving you excellent quality products at a reasonable price.
It's basically Digital Designs like skar is cheaper sundown
😬👍
Need to do the UI-8000. That $319 price tag for 8krms is definitely insane!!
Link?
SoundQubed.com and you can find it easily
@Kyle Timmins at the price you mentioned the 8k amp being, the U1-8000 is not any cheaper per watt than the U1-3000.
And I'm only guessing here, but Big D probably tested the U1-3000 because he knew more of his viewers either ordered or would be ordering the U1-3000 versus the U1-8000. Personally I'd love to see the U4-500 tested just to see how much over rated power it produces, if any. Though I'd be highly surprised if it put out less than rated as it seems most companies now (especially the budget companies) under rate all of their car audio products. Same business tactics worked for Mopar in the 60s & early 70s & it still works to this day over 45 years later.
@@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128 well considering most full bridge 8ks go for $550+ the UI-8000 at $320 on their website is an insane deal in my book.
I had the U1-8000 and it went out when I blew a subwoofer on it. It still turns on but its not giving a single to my other working subwoofer. Soundqubed replaced my amp with a brand new amplifier. Soundqubed is a very good brand and if you want this amp to last get good electrical and try not blowing subwoofers on this amp.
Some amps don’t have that speaker out protection
Yeah, but didn't Soundqubed replaced it with a brand new one even though they didn't have to? While the sound quality isn't as good as some of the Korean built amplifiers it is definitely better than the Taramps MD series a lot of people run nowadays. I've ran this amp as well as the Sundown SFB 3k on Fi subwoofers and they sounded better than the Taramps. Sound quality is very good for its price range.
@@fd1596 yeah your right my U1-8000 wasn't the worst sound quality. It was very good. Just edit what I said about the sound quality. Soundqubed is a very good brand😀
@@RyanBassForLife Yeah, no problem. Just trying to give credit where it's due. I think maybe the sound quality issues you may have had came from running the amp into clipping, or just pushing the subs too hard beyond their mechanical limits. That U-8000 was definitely too much amp for your HDX3s. You might want to consider getting a Sundown SFB remote gain knob with clip light. I've tried it on the U series amplifiers and they work.
Would love a top 10 dollar per watt video
Any plans on testing the bigger versions? I bought a u1 8k to run on a single fi V1 team 15.
Not really
Definitely the design their all using. Only thing is who's charging the cheapest!! Definitely pretty cheap. Keep up the good content!💯
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@JAM210 you are right! Think about how many Top Strong Gear amps & BP Slayer amps Big D helped sell solely because how cheap the price was & Big D reviewing them. They each sold so many that they sold out of their inventory & then raised prices when they came back in stock. Though the price on the Soundqubed full range amps went back up before Big D even released this video, I'm sure they will continue to still sell a lot of them at the current price. Atleast Soundqubed still keep their price point significantly lower than their competitors, especially compared to Sundown sfb line.
Smokin deal 😎😎
Can u go over the basics for upgrading car electrical. Are we talking, better alternator and battery? And what else?. Love watching your reviews. Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion
Yes, upgrade alt to a legit h.o 200a + alt. All wiring upgrade to 1/0+, and at least a secondary battery if you're sticking to batteries. Super caps can be add inline. Lithium you'll most likely need to isolate the Lithium on its own charging system
I haven't seen some cute in a few years totally forgot about the brand but I do remember the bagel dilemma about how sound cube was copy of crescendo 😆
Good jog D thx! I wish I would have known about the sale at 109 I would have bought a couple.
I posted on my community tab when the deal was active
@@wal I figured you did I just missed it, you the man!
Im running this on my mids what do you think will change?
Love the intro song Neffex has some good stuff
Yeah I agree!
Bought the amp after watching. I plan on only running 4 ohms until I get an alternator. Big 3 are done but I know I need a lot more for this big boy
😬👍
What's the best watt per dollar amp that can run on the typical stock electrical system?
Thanks Big D for this test I have nothing but good things to say about Soundqubed after changing everything in the prius from Rockford👍
Crazy man
@E Dud what could there be to possibly say good about Soundqubed when comparing it to Fosgate??? Seriously other than the affordability of the Soundqubed products idk how you could even put the two brands in the same sentence... You must have always had the cheaper entry level Fosgate gear.
Let it be known I'm not even a Fosgate fanboy but I know the difference in true quality versus mass produced budget products. Rockford Fosgate will always be superior to anything Soundqubed will ever dream of making.
@@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128 Dont get me wrong I still have all my Fosgate stuff enough for 2 cars stashed away in the closet waiting to go in another car. Alot of it has to with customer service and availability Soundqubed and DD audio are about 10 minutes from my house .
I got a pair of sundown sfb-8000.1D amps for apx 5cents per watt
349.99 each
I just dyno them at 79.81% at 1 ohm making 9143w at clip at 14.11v. On 600Ah lifepo4 bank they are only 12 watts apart on dyno.
I might make a few tweaks internally to reduce stress at 1 ohm before installing.
Also I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that if your using one of these use a dsp to send a clean bass signal to the Amp
I like 👍 the pleasant surprise ☺ amps and equipment... hmmm 🤔
👍
What amp would you recommend for 4 8” subs. They are 600 rms a piece.
I'm in my 89 suburban, one Rockford Fosgate P500.2(?), 2 P2 8 ohm 10s, and 2 more MTX 6000s 8ohms 10s also. Each pair on its own channel wired in parallel, of course.
These are my morning news Big D! Installing and listening to audio reviews! Thanks
Awesome 👏
For the price it's at you could still throw in the other bass knob on there web sight with a on and clip lights. First 3k under 200$ had to get it to match my 2 hds3.I 12s I got on sale 230$ last year from sound qubed. 500$ total for my 3k build not including electrical and deck that cheap compared to the 90s or a jlw7 👍👌✌️🎶💯🥂
Just incredible the amount of power for so cheap. I’ve got an audio legion 1600 made in Korea but I’m thinking of grabbing one of these u 3000 amps or maybe even the u 5k because hey it’s cheap power!
Just make sure you have the electrical to support
@@wal ended up ordering the 3k for a future build to power a pair of D2 NVX vcw 12s i picked up recently. Wont run the amp until i have my electrical up to par but couldn’t pass up the deal!
For the $$$ WOW! I wasn't expecting much out of this amp, but now we all know. Hot dang! good video BigD, keep at it.
Kinda crazy
Just thought, if your able to check out this amp: Seismic Audio SA-1500.1L, it's about $144 new and $124 used on Amazon. Thank you sir.
Interested to see the MTX Jackhammer JH15001 on the Dyno. They quote "Dynamic Power" for the Wattage rating. Suspicious...
Ok go buy all the stuff to do it and find out.
Are the db hypnotic amplifiers any good ?
I love how proper power is affordable these days. 12 years ago when i was young and got my first car it was like $1000 for 1000w
Exactly!
I have a 2018 crew cab Chevy truck and want to add two 10” subs but don’t want to break the bank any suggestions on amp and speakers
You should test nvx's new line of amps.. Also an MTX 81000D 😁
Thanks for the suggestion
I try to catch all your amp dynos although I’m not really into car audio much. Most of the amps you test usually give the highest output on the dynamic test for a given impedance load. This one only did that at 1 ohm. On the 2 and 4 ohm loads you measured more power at clipping than with the burst test. I thought maybe the amp was unable to supply the current to the speakers required but was able to do it at minimal impedance. Any thoughts on why?
Some amps are just more efficient on some ohm loads usually the higher the more efficient unlike this, but you get more power than advertised
Thanks for the response. I understand what you are saying. But what baffles me is that on the dynamic burst test it put out less power on the 4 and 2 ohm test than it did on the up to clipping test. On the 1 ohm test it put out more power on the dynamic test than the clipping test as it should and should have also at the 4 and 2 ohm tests but didn’t. As Big D usually states the clipping test at the lowest ohm load is the most brutal test on an amplifier. And it passed that without going into protection. Just wonder how this is possible because electrically it doesn’t make sense if all else is equal.
Could you test them with 12v power since there is a lot of ppl running amps on stock power..
Soon as I saw the killer deal I bought some of these Soundqubed U Series amps. Then I thought at this cheap of a price I bet Big D will be testing at least one of the new Soundqubed full range amps. I was shocked to see that a company like Soundqubed were having a sale with as low of prices as they did. I realize it was only their new full range amps that were on sale & even then they still didn't run their big 13k on sale, I'm not complaining I can't properly power a 13k right now anyway... I was under the impression that Soundqubed was such a well know name & with brand recognition that they'd never sell their products at that low of a price. Maybe they aren't as well known as I'd thought.
Personally I bought the U1-3000, the U4-500 & the AL 250.4 (not its not a Soundqubed amp but I ordered it same day I ordered the Soundqubed amps, the 4 channel Audio Legion amps are beasts! I have 4 of the AL 110.4 amps). I will say in regards to the the Soundqubed U1 series amps, I was VERY surprised at the quality of the tuning pots (knobs for gain, high/low pass etc) as they seem on par & even better than some amps that I've spent a lot more money on. The amp itself overall gave a much more sturdy feel to it & much better look to it than I had expected. In my opinion the Soundqubed U1 amps both look & feel more sturdy then my Sundown sfb amp (even though they may be built in the same exact warehouse to the same standards as each other). The only let downs that I have with the Soundqubed U Series amps is the way too cheap bass remotes (I plan to see if one of my better remotes that has a clip light will work with them since the U1 does have a clip light on the amp) & the fact that the U4 amp actually does not come with a remote, it doesn't even have a spot to connect a remote. Lol I know a bunch of people will say it's a 4 channel amp, you do not need a remote! Well considering its power output being a 4 channel amp one has many different options on what type of of speakers/drivers they will use, including the ability to bridge channels. This little amp truly has the ability to make the mids & or highs Soundstage in the vehicle VERY loud. Much louder than the typical 2 or 4 channel amps that you see on the market!
Thanks for the feedback 👌
@@wal any chance you will dyno & review the U4-500 Soundqubed amp? I ordered one of those also, now i have to figure out what speakers (mid/high soundstage) this 4 channel amp will complement well.
Thank you for your hardwork & dedication to consistently making great content!
I was eyeing the al110.4 but want to run class AB on my doors so i grabbed an al1600 instead which came in last week to replace my rp1200 sub amp. Then i heard about the soundqubed U series amps and was in shock how inexpensive that much power is going for and from a brand ive actually heard of! Granted they aren’t Korean like the Audio Legion but 3k for even 159 is a steal. I was gonna grab a second al1600 since they are strappable but now im Pretty sure im gonna snag a U 3k Friday. i just cant pass that deal up!
Had you told me in 1999 that in about 20 years, I'd be able to buy an amp that does 3k rms for 150 bucks, but that's not all, the foot print of that amp would be no bigger than your hand, I wold have never believed you..
You and me both!

When are you going to test of ds18 amps
Where do you get the song Bassotronics Big Wizzy Bass of Halloween ? I can't find it on Spotify nor on youtube :(
what's up bro. Excellent videos I do not miss any. This amplifier in the video is similar to the Nemesis brand. very similar to them. they work very well. I would love for you to try out amps and gear from the region where I live. I am from mexico. Greetings Crack.
Thanks for watching and commenting!

How does this amp compare to the stinger amplifier as far as bass and sound
Ooo great vid no doubt, hey what about BassRockers Z40001D Class D Monoblock 1-Channel 4000 Watts Subwoofer Amplifier Test please!!!!
Thanks for the suggestion
I saw a test run but it left me questioning: I was sure you could clear things up just by your usual thoroughness👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Can you do a test on the crescendo 3k skywave korean full bridge
Thanks for the suggestion
so how close are all those amps the different brands to one another?
These look very similar to the SFB line from SD. I bet they are from the same build house. My little SFB amp made way more than rated, good amps for the $.
Yea I mention several clones within the first minute
Have you ever tested Infinity amps? Their subs are amazing I doubt if their amps are sub par
Do all full bridge mono amps require aftermarket alternator? Is that why they’re so cheap?
For a $119 you can’t complain. Makes 3000 watts, nice cheap power as long as you upgraded your electrical. I remember spending around $700 for a Rockford Fosgate punch 250m back in 1997. Made around 700 watts.
Yeah man that RF was a beast for it’s time tho
🔥🔥🔥🔥
😜👍
Good lawd!!!!
Great amp for your money
Can you do a video on how they claim the more efficient an amp is the lesser sound quality of the amp? Or any insight on this claim?
There is no method for determining SQ via measurements. SQ is subjective and measurements are objective
Total Harmonic Distortion is the ability of an amplifier to reproduce a sound wave accurately. As THD increases the sound wave is less accurately reproduced (distortion).
As long as the amplifier is below your preferred THD threshold it will not be adulterating the sound wave it is being given.
Efficiency determines the power draw required to put a certain amount of power into a speaker driver.
What is measured here is power level at a certain THD threshold (clipping), and the power required from your vehicle to get that power output. It's going to do that into your SQ subs in a sealed box and it's going to do that into your ported ground pounders that set off car alarms.
We're assuming the wave isn't skewed, slanted, doesn't have smaller resonant waves in it, etc. The amplifier will simply do what it is told to do with a known amount of distortion.
SQ is subjective and has to do with how you perceive the mechanical motion of the air around you when your drivers work together. The goal of the amplifier is to increase the energy in the wave form while influencing it less than your threshold of detection. If it is set correctly this is usually the case.
@@JohnDoe-mx1sq most sq amps also have higher dynamic power making the bass punchier and also put out more consistant power. for example, if you use a multimeter on a sine wave, you can see the power fluctuate a little on cheaper amps.
@@squishypeanut42 SQ amps also always seem to cost twice as much and have half the power 🤷♂️
I really don't ubderstand why some people would complain about what a amplifier does at high voltage. It makes me realize that I will get all the power I need and then some at 14.4v - 14.8v.
Just make YT videos and you’ll understand
@@wal makes sense Big Dee!
Have you ever Dyno'd American bass/ VFL's stealth amps? I bought one and they seem to be underpowered. Sound great and seem efficient, but definitely not pushing what they're rated for.
Not yet
That's pretty f*cking impressive.
😬👍
Any thoughts on testing a Soundqubed u1-1500? $129 for 1500w seems pretty good as well for lower powered systems
Crazy that in this day and age 1500 watts is considered a lower powered system! Back in the day 300 watts would slam hard and costed quite a bit of money. Now days you can get 1000 watts rms for far less than a 75x2 amp from a reputable brand back in the 90s.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix in the late 90s I ran at 2 amp system in my truck total of about 600 rms with kicker speakers all around including a pair of cOmp 15s and that was the biggest system on the streets in my area. Today I run a 1600 audio legion Korean amp on a single 12” but think I’m going to pick up this u 3000 or maybe the u 5000 because hey it’s dirt cheap power!
@@jkstdstang man can you imagine if this stuff was available back in the 90s at these prices! Especially with the efficiency of those old school subs!
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix $1 a watt days I remember them well!
@@jkstdstang right! I have an old school orion xtr 12 that i am sending to Patrick to get reconed. Long live the old school!
I found a mono 800 watt amplifier for just 50 bucks! It uses 3 30amps fuses. I hope you can test it. It's called kinetic amplifier
Thanks for the suggestion
3500 watt overdrive power acoustik I have to say it I had the 2500 watt razar it was get I think power acoustik is very slept on ..
The rzr 2500 is ok for 80 bucks. Think it makes around 650 rms on the dyno. I just bought a korean audio legion 1600 for 170 then theres the soundqubed U series for dirt cheap so is the rzr really a good deal?
@@jkstdstang for just driving to Walmart and buying shit yeah it's pretty underrated
What kind of electrical upgraded need to be done before installing and using.
At a minimum an extra battery and if your alt is under 200A you’ll need an upgrade there as well
this is the best amp for mids
is this rated power rms or peak?
