I agree with you there.Sometimes I’ve seen in the different Facebook audio groups that someone asks a legitimate question and they some smart ass comment that leads to nothing but and argument.Something like sound can be personally linked to the listener .
Many months in, (edit- i was a first run buyer, on the 3 boards) with my E400.4, 350.2, and E1000.1. I have not got to the E1000.1, as of yet (low end is coming) but, i adore these boards. Zero issues, run cool, for hours. Build quality is top tier, sound quality is "to each their own", but for me, they are amazing. I will be getting more soon.
I don't particularly care for class D amps for mids and highs, but that amp sounded really good on your Elacs!! Tony really outdid himself with the E series. I'm dying to hear his T series amps. Hope he can send you one for testing when they become available. Great video BigD!! 👌
Nice Amp! I went to high school with Tony D'Amore; we were in Auto Shop together. He's sincerely a great guy and I'm glad to see him doing so well! I'm looking forward to buying some of his products. I do remember Tony beating me in a drag race in his 1975ish? Camaro/Firebird back in Tucson! I can't remember exactly which car it was:)
@@d77543020 sorry. Lol. It's fantastic! Super clean on my Pioneer A class components. I'd get a couple 1000.1's for my 4 10's but they jacked the prices up and I'm leaning more towards D4S now
Good to hear, I'm building my wife's new system with a couple of this line. I know they wouldn't have the name unless they're amazing, but I love to know other people say good things about them.
@@dylanandersen9318 I just ordered the 1000.1 and now I am trying to decide what way I want to go with the subs.. I am going to order the 4 channel too for mids and highs.
@Williston Audio Labs, I love your videos and the fact you show so many amps to give us all info on whats good and what's a waste of money !!! Most of all letting us know if it bump doe !!! I have a question tho since I started watching your channel, What kind of wood and stain did you use for your box with the four 8's ??? I really like that look and want to make me a box like that when I upgrade my sub's Big D !!!
Exactly, the only company ive seen do that is rf, with the exception of their cheapest. Shit, mid level and up, they use good stuff, if id buy this Amp, id recap it...
and I bought the Rockville db45 4 channel amp and wasn't expecting such a gigantic amp when I got it in the mail. Now I don't know where the hell I'm going to mount it, lol
This would be perfect for my truck. Small, good power for the infinity speakers in my doors, and a bridgeable 3/4 for a little bit of that .1 channel action tucked away. I've been looking at 4ch setups just for that reason, since those door speakers are lacking punch at only the 22w put out by my little head unit. My other car has the same speakers in the doors but that HU puts out double the power of the other one and you _absolutely_ notice the difference between them. Cooooooool.
still love the T15K, and it looks kinda funny as on the main amp PCB there are almost no caps but under the PCB there's a gigantic cap bank I remember the vid where they had the wall of subs when they first showed it off
Thx big-D. would you consider using your AMM1 on the "Do it bump doe" segment. I think most people are unaware what Ohm load the Amp is really seeing during music thx.
I hope they have plans to make a 4 channel version 100x4 RMS I'll get on the spot. I also wonder if they'll work on building a DSP in the near future 👍🔥🔥
Hey Big D I know this ampifier is more efficient and better built but for the price and also the fact that they look so much alike in ways why wouldn't i just purchase the dual xpr84D or the jensen xba94rb for just under a 100 bucks and get the same wattage out put.
Hey could you try testing out the t.amp e-800 amplifier? ive been looking at that amp as an option and hopefully it does 800 watts rms so i can pair it with a toro force 8. It will be a upgrade from the LG fo sho! thanks and have a nice day!
Hey big d. Can you check out the canadb amplifiers line and possibly dyno the 3k. It's a Canadian amplifier but it looks just like the Brazilian full bridge amps. Just want to know if that put out rated power
I'd like to run a BM MKIV sub with a D'Amore amp. I believe the BM MKIV is dual 4 ohm coils. You can wire it either 2 or 8 ohms. It's rated at 450W. Which amp would you recommend?
Yo Big D! I'm a little late on the comments but wanted to see if you had an opinion on what subs to pair with these amps? Just pre ordered the 1000.1 after watching this and Steve Meade's videos on D'Amore.
@5:33 if I bridge the amp, but want a full range would that be adjusted by switching top switch to CH3/4 and bottom switch to full? Also would it require RCAs on both inputs or would a source signal from CH 1&2 feed all 4 channels? Sorry if its appears to be a rookie question.
Well this is the first amo dyno I have seen of these amps that wasn't set at 14.8-14.9 maybe these amps are ok i would like to see if it can do rated power at a cars actual voltage 13.5-13.8
I could use advice on what amp best for two 8s, two 10s, two 12s I’ve got in truck... for my mids I’ve got infinity 5 channel, but want one amp for all 6 subs
+1. .. The S/N >102db spec is in the right direction; the lowly S/N >70db to 80db range is typical for $$ priced amps. .. Have to devise a sound test (subjective) for these 12V amplifiers. .. Screww the "watt" test focus. .. Cheers,
HELP PLSS This is my first system install. I have a Audiopipe db2 on an Autotek TA2050.1 2000w Mono. I hooked everything up and got NOTHING from the amp. The remote wire was wired to the remote wire in the back of my afm stereo. I used Ttaps to do this. Im getting about 10-11.5 volts on the remote wire from the stereo but only about 2-4 where the remote wire hooks up to the amp. I then tried a different wire that was putting out 14 volts thinking maybe it just wasn't enough before. Still only got about 2-4 volts where it connected to the amp. What is the issue 😭🤦 (I've been trying to find time on the weekend to do this for 5 weeks)
Your channel has gotta be the best advertising for D'Amore with their AD-1 prominently displayed in every video, you deserve a free amp or two!
Their tool has helped not only me, but the industry as a whole. Keeping mfg’s honest with their ratings for years now
@@wal your video was one that helped me find my aml thats in my truck right now. CAB-2000.1
@@wal Now all we need is to send the Chinese the AD-1 so they can learn how to rate an amplifier.
So true
They would just copy it
These look to be solid amps and can get you into the D’amore world at a budget price
How did you see the video so early? You gots ESP or somefin?
HifiVega is Batman!! But don't tell anyone
I like that many of you AUDIO youtubers are helping each other out.. It just makes the car audio crowd that much better!
I've got a Clean D. Never had any itching, flare ups, or ever had to take any prescription drugs.

Great video as always Derek! I love the outro stuff you've been doing!
Another top review Brother, and excellent work D'Amore...on another great product, bring that quality to the masses at a great price👌
I enjoy your videos before I buy an amp I come here to see if its worth buying thanks you have saved me money and aggregation
Love that audio control at the end
I have 2 of the 1000.1 coming
Just waiting for them to ship it

Good efficient SQ amp for separates. Pretty compact too. Internal fuse is kind of a bummer, but Not a deal breaker.
Great vid you said it all with “ what could be better” 😎
Tony D designed your favorite Rockford amp
That's a great looking amp and knocks it out of the park for the price.
Been waiting for this

Freaking amazing looking amp. Didn't realize he worked for Rockford back in the day. Street cred goes up alot!!! Lol
Those subs from the Tahoe are in my bonus room right now
Those bigger amps sure are beautiful works of art!

The amp info for clean D. Is different n look to getting one soon ! Keep up the good work !

Me too
With a cartoon style Ice Cube on the back damn that shit bump

Still wishing for a Rockford amp that has that old school look 👀 come on Rockford reissue the old style
Makes me wamt to get a couple of these for a 3-way setup and the 750.1 for a sub.
Clean D is when you scrub your package real good before you give it to her.

what speakers are on highs at the end. Cant find them anywhere?? Thanks
What DB do you set the gains at both the 40HZ and 1kHZ ?
Ok. So if the watt per dollar ratings were identical would you buy a 4 channel amp from D'Amore or Audio Control? Who has the better sounding amp?
