    I am not going to sit here and blame this amp for what I just did to it. I must have tested it 20 times and got it real warm before I decided to run
    one more at 100hz. It just couldn't take it anymore on the load bank. It would probably still be alive if it were on an actual speaker.
    That being said, Does anyone want this thing? I will send it to the first person that names this amp AND how much power it actually put out at 100hz (on the AD-1 Amp Dyno) before it burned up. This contest open to anyone in the world but you must live in the USA for free shipping. Anyone outside of the USA must agree to pay their own shipping if you really want it. It obviously does NOT work anymore and is more of a trophy or a showpiece. Hang it on the wall! We will try to contact the FIRST person I see in these comments who has the correct answer and if they don't want it, it will be sent to the 2nd person. Lets go!

I myself have one of these in my vehicle... I liked the test carried out with a line that is widely used in our country. But when it caught fire it was awesome 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Thanks little brother

    Full bridge cant tolerate clipping but audiopipe 8000 h2 “the one I have” and h1 have a good protection system that shut the amp off if excessive heat and clipping occurs along with a bass knob w/clip indicator. You had the cover off preventing proper cooling it’s impressive it held up as long as it did. If you get another try dual inputs on pos and ground I have 4 - 1/0 sky high ofc cables for pos and 4 for the ground fused with your 8 anl fuse block and ground block.

    • @meade916
      @meade916  22 дні тому

      nah. It happened way to fast. Even if I did get it warm by testing it a bunch of times. Those fans would not have stopped that. Dual inputs would have done nothing. It just didn't like what I did to it. I do believe that had this been on speakers, it would have lived longer. Music is dynamic. The AD-1 is ruthless...

      @@meade916 I wasnt putting the amp down. I said that because its a super affordable amp and actually did what what it said it would do but dont push it past that. I wasn't putting the amp down. 209 bucks for something that small and to do what it did is crazy
