Look at egay at some and see the one that is described as 3000 washing machines but clearly says 2200 and that's just not right. It really does say 3000 watts. It's a mono blocking amp, (keeps you safe from mono).
I just ordered this amp off ebay. Paid for the 2 year warranty. All total 107. We will see how it performs. This is the second amp ive bought because of your vids. (The other was not a budget unit but was well worth it) Thanks brother, for the time you spend making these vids.
This is a Dimond in the ruff. 1200 power certified for 107. Name one other bobo brand that has this price range and makes rated power. Extremely rare find. I think this is a good one trying to make its way towards the top brands. I purchased the smart 3k taramp because of your video. You provided us with the info thats needed to make great purchases. Thank you. Ive switched to cab45 and would love to see dyno because only 1 for that amp and its Sundown doing it. Great video and great info. Let us know how yhe amp preforms for you jason.
Yep I ordered one two days ago. $84 I believe. I am going to get some good caps for it. I started repairing amps s little but I need a descent 5-10 amp 30 volt power supply and a used descent scope. I will have them soon + a better soldering station and hot work station or a combo, preferably a T12 stm32 with the element inside the replacement tips. I had one and loved it until a fire destroyed it, my PC setup along with 5 graphics cards, several motherboards and CPU's, power supplies, about $1200 in drone equipment, heater, window unit and my awesome work station I built. I'm trying to get back going.
Just checked your ebay link and it's down $87.14. Gonna pick one up for my girls corolla. She actually likes my fosgate amp and subs in my Stang. So gonna pick up some cheap Skar 10's for her.
I'm currently building a low budget/best watt/$ setup for my daily commuter and I just picked up two of these for $110 total. It's insane how affordable high power can be found these days. When I was building systems as a kid, you were doing something if you had over 1000 watts 😆
Wow that's actually a great value and definitely beats ignite audio 🤣🤣🤣 Will you please do some of their 4 Channel amps. I'd like to see how their full range amps are. Thanks in advance.
I appreciate you calling attention to the mixed parts. While it's not really an issue for rail caps specifically, it *is* an indication that the same approach was likely taken when populating critical components such as MOSFETs. Pioneer has been mixing batches of FETs for a few years now. It's disappointing to see.
@@lasskinn474 From a reliability standpoint, absolutely. In applications where multiple FETs are run in parallel it's important for them to be closely matched. In a parallel configuration each FET is carrying a portion of the load and having closely matched FETs will result in that load being split quite evenly between them. When they are not well matched- the FET doing the most work will heat up more than the others and fail prematurely. How premature that failure is depends on how poor the matching is, how much headroom the designers left in the design (over-built vs running at redline,) and how hard the amp is run on a daily basis. It's not about class AB vs D, it's any design where multiple parts are working together to share a load.
I was deep into car audio in the early days late 70s got out after LIFE happened. Got into guitars early 2000s and collecting them. BOTH MARKETS CAR AUDIO AND GUITARS ARE FLOODED With imports that cut the price WAY DOWN THE LESSER PRICE VERSIONS are just as comfortable Guitars are winning over Pro users some top guitar players are taking equipment out on tours. BIG D shows numbers are there 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I purchase 2 of them amplifier 3 months ago I guess big wiz seen my message thanks for the review ( The amp is the Truth I got them on NVX 12s and I'm Shaking windows and setting off car Alarm...it hits just like Sundown..That's why I purchase 2 worth money and the amp don't get hot at All...the amp can push what ever...
I swear I was just looking at these the other day , couldnt find anything on em, wemt woth a jp23 v1.5 mainly bc of the bass knob , other choices were rp2000 or the ct 2000. Not a JP fan but the jp 23 v1.5 def outshines others in same price/power category
Compared to stuff we had in the 80's to mid 90's, for the price, this stuff is awesome for teens that get their first car. As far as waranty and company staying in business, i wouldnt care less, if the amp blows up, just throw it in the garbage.
Flee market brands were crap in my day. Young people don't know how bad it was for us old-school folk. You couldn't even sniff a 900watt amp for that price 😆
you can still get that garbage at the show they have every year at the civic center along with designer clothing factory rejects and shady sim cards. Pyramid, JustBeCool, Rockwood, PowerAcoustik, plus all the old school brand husks harvested by different concerns over the years. I did always like Profile though. Friends and I set up some legit systems using those. We got them for wholesale price for some reason, I don't remember why.
It does look like a good budget option if you're just starting out, and need an amp to run a pair of normal subs. Really hard to beat 1200 certified watts for $100 - Quite the bargain price for some decent bump. I remember when I bought my first car amp back in 2008, it was made by a brand called Magnat, and it probably did around 700 watts in 1 ohm. It cost me the equivalent of around $550 back then. 15 years later, the story is quite different 😅
So damn old school Big-D. I remember bumping all three of them kinds of bass.. on cassette tape. If I remember right I had two 12” pyles at the time. Oh the hiss.
The business with the mixed caps might not be a problem... The green ones are most likely low ESR, and I have seen this a few times with class D amps where the caps before the inductor part of the pi filter have more high frequency switching noise so require low ESR (more expensive) devices, but the ones after are just cheap general purpose caps as they aren't as stressed in that part of the circuit.
When your cloning a 20 year old design using the cheapest parts you can get, do no engineering or testing and have little to no employees to pay the price can get really low.
Dang. A budget amp that does something resembling its rated power! Wonders never cease. Nobody who can't handle a soldering iron should touch this, though. If they were that haphazard with the capacitors, I'd bet good money they didn't match the MOSFETs. Replacement of blown FETs will probably be needed, especially if it's pushing its rated power most of the time into a super Lo-Z load (< 2 ohms). Might be fine if you're usually below the red line, or driving 4 ohms. Good find for a hardware hacker, however. 👍
I was going to say the power numbers for the price point that's a budget gem. And they didn't have to make it ridiculously look like candy coughing American Bass cough
Big D, I thought the same about the output level too. Have to agree with you, it is worth going with the D4S JP8 amp for more money. BTW The Audiopipe APMN-2000 amps can be strapped and don't have master/slave switches.
@@wilsonrawlin8547 That amp does not look capable of being strapped. There are no provisions to synchronize their internal clocks. A strappable amp will have a special strap cable or at least a rca cable to link the two amps together internally. They also have s master slave switch so one bass knob can operate both amps.
@@wilsonrawlin8547 Just a note, Audiopipe amps are some of the poorer clones. They sometimes use the wrong components and doesn't perform as well as it should. I would suggest a different brand.
@@JasonWW2000 Ryan on Budget Gem or Bust amp channel tested the APMN 2000s on his dyno. They beat their RMS numbers. That's why they've gone up in cost because they perform. Mine have been running great for 4yrs. If I can afford to upgrade I'll probably go with JP's D4S amps.
Start with great video as always. This is a great deal. If your just starting and your budget isnt the biggest then this amp bang for buck is a steal. Its got few flaws but if you just want power to bump decent subs then this seems like a must buy. Not many cheap bobo brands make rated power. Not a bad amp for a starter amp and i agree it looks just like the rp skar amps
Exactly what dude said below, think about how advanced car audio would be today if we could've been able to buy a 1500 watt amp back in the day for $150. I had two Image Dynamic 1500 watt amps and two ID 15" woofers in my 1989 Chevy Beretta GT and the kids at my school used to tell me that they could hear me coming from a mile away. I actually got suspended for 10 days when I pulled up out front of my high school and shattered my rear windshield with them. I paid almost $2500 for both amps back then.
The actual mosfets and IC's used in today's amps didn't exist back then. What was available cost a small fortune. So amps were very expensive to build back then.
Big D, it would be really nice if you could get your hands on a Magnat The Rock 600 or 1000 amp so you could review it. Do you think it's possible? Keep up the great work!
Big D, I have a video idea. You’ve done so many videos, it would be amazing to do a “Best of Efficiency” 0-999 watts, 1000-1999, etc etc. some of us appreciate a high efficiency amp, at various ohm loads. I would love to know what the most efficient amps you’ve tested are. Thanks OG 🤝🤝🤝
I've never heard of this amp it's not too bad for the price but I have to know more about it before I would buy it but it won't cost to much if it does go boom 💣💥lol I love your video contait keep up the great work big D and oh yeah have you ever done a test on planet audio before I've been seeing them around and really don't know nothing about them so I hope to catch you doing a video on it 😂😂😊
Wish you said bump it and tried .67 and .5 ohm. Price definitely cheap but for a few bucks more you can get a brand that will be around for a while and a warranty. Now it's $87 bucks.
Based on the results it performs more like a crappier rp1200.1 .8ohm results tho...... not bad for 100 bucks tho how longs it gonna last??? a week a year... 5 years... an hour:??
I dont know if youve done any yet but i remember having a old california msc400 amp that i unknowingly ran at 1.3 ohms for over a year..lol id love to see the dyno on one of them if you can find one.. i remember i got mines at a flea market for like $40 back in 98-99.. wish i never sold it.. it was a little warrior.. and i now know i abused it the whole time i had it, never had a issue and sold it with my car..
Love your videos Big D. And the clips from older sitcoms I certainly remember and enjoyed. Especially Sanford and Son. LOL. Old Skool is the Only Skool! :) Because I'm not going Woke! and then Broke! "Ya Big Dummy" lol. (whoever came up with this "Woke" stuff sure didn't think it through!) duh!
There is probably a Chinese profile factory where the heat sinks come from and I'd imagine they are somewhat universal designs and can be chosen from a catalog for your product. At least on the "lesser" brands, meaning the ones that check for the available stuff in China, make deals and then get these types of products shipped. The big brands spend more money on their unique designs, sometimes potentially making even less efficient heat sinks than the traditional style offers, just to stand out. And when you see a knock-off, it's usually quite easy to spot the differences.
I went with a Pioneer gm-e360x4 for JL Audio for my doors and tweets. Says rating at 1000W but doubt I’m getting even close to that, but she does bang for $139! (My PPI Art Series A300 handles the 2 Kicker Comp 10”s @2 ohms)
those are rail caps, replacing them doesn't affect sound quality. for class d amps like this the components don't have a huge affect on sound quality, more focused on layout design and the output filter.
Strapping means one amps positive and the other amps negative goes to the sub. The amps internal clocks need to be synced. So strapping requires a master slave switch and a cable that synchronizes their clocks. This amp can't be strapped.
You get what you pay for. I had a cheap planet audio that did hit, but it ended up sending DC to my sub causing it to blow. So yeah take Big D's Advice and buy a D4S amp for 150.00 bucks and get a decent warranty.
possible longevity issues from those cheap caps and that power off noise are the only serious downsides i see. pity, it seems like it'd be a nifty baller budget option otherwise.

@Rock Island Railfan exactly, some of those bass knobs look like they should be in a casino

Big D, can you dyno linked amps? Be cool if u did a vid of that.
Oh man you are reading my mind!
Hey big D can u do a video on the old school mini trucks that were called audio chamber
Would love to see you upgrade that quad box with the new solo x's
QuadBox vs SoloX you say? Let me work on that 😏
Looks like a Skar Rp series amp. Must be from the same build house.
Looks completely different. Definitely not the same build house.
Exactly what dude said below, think about how advanced car audio would be today if we could've been able to buy a 1500 watt amp back in the day for $150. I had two Image Dynamic 1500 watt amps and two ID 15" woofers in my 1989 Chevy Beretta GT and the kids at my school used to tell me that they could hear me coming from a mile away. I actually got suspended for 10 days when I pulled up out front of my high school and shattered my rear windshield with them. I paid almost $2500 for both amps back then.
No you didn't 😂😂
The actual mosfets and IC's used in today's amps didn't exist back then. What was available cost a small fortune. So amps were very expensive to build back then.
I got one new on eBay for $66 no turn on pop powering a 6.5 ctsounds tropo and it bangs budget amp on the fly
Big D, it would be really nice if you could get your hands on a Magnat The Rock 600 or 1000 amp so you could review it.
Do you think it's possible?
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the suggestion
Can you do a dyno on Nemesis Audio 2k I can't find a dyno video no where!
Big D, I have a video idea. You’ve done so many videos, it would be amazing to do a “Best of Efficiency” 0-999 watts, 1000-1999, etc etc. some of us appreciate a high efficiency amp, at various ohm loads. I would love to know what the most efficient amps you’ve tested are. Thanks OG 🤝🤝🤝
Thanks for the suggestion
Yeah do this. We could watch hour long videos of this.
I always wonder if the amp dyno is going to let the smoke out . Big D should just make a vid on amps that blew up
Great idea!
I've never heard of this amp it's not too bad for the price but I have to know more about it before I would buy it but it won't cost to much if it does go boom 💣💥lol I love your video contait keep up the great work big D and oh yeah have you ever done a test on planet audio before I've been seeing them around and really don't know nothing about them so I hope to catch you doing a video on it 😂😂😊
Thanks for watching and commenting!
No problem I always watch your videos 🎥keep up the great work 👏🔥💯👍
I got the amp it hits hard
Its three time better planet auto...I got 3 of them andeman amplifier....
@@kayden774 what subs are you running
Wish you said bump it and tried .67 and .5 ohm. Price definitely cheap but for a few bucks more you can get a brand that will be around for a while and a warranty. Now it's $87 bucks.
This is the way I look at it, In the late 90s I bought a 250 R for $650 , This things a budget Jim
Is this a bot?
@@jackravan3242 Is what a bot?
NICE!!! What's up BigD!?!?
Pretty close to the soundstream TXP1.3500D in price and output. Love to see a comparison video.
@WillistonAudioLabs 🤣🤣🤣
I was looking I was about ready by the same amp but I got something different!
PNASE! that made me chuckle. 😂 Great vid as always, thank you! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Based on the results it performs more like a crappier rp1200.1 .8ohm results tho...... not bad for 100 bucks tho how longs it gonna last??? a week a year... 5 years... an hour:??
We need a Big D class D amplifier. Then Big D could do a review on it 😂
That PNASE control along with the BDIDGE are 🤣🤣🤣
Did I read PNASE instead of PHASE. Not sure what the N is good for?
I dont know if youve done any yet but i remember having a old california msc400 amp that i unknowingly ran at 1.3 ohms for over a year..lol id love to see the dyno on one of them if you can find one.. i remember i got mines at a flea market for like $40 back in 98-99.. wish i never sold it.. it was a little warrior.. and i now know i abused it the whole time i had it, never had a issue and sold it with my car..
@Rock Island Railfan yeah.. i didnt realize how good i had it with that one..
👌😬👍
Once you add in what the actual speakers impedance was, you probably weren't abusing it.
Love your videos Big D. And the clips from older sitcoms I certainly remember and enjoyed. Especially Sanford and Son. LOL. Old Skool is the Only Skool! :) Because I'm not going Woke! and then Broke! "Ya Big Dummy" lol. (whoever came up with this "Woke" stuff sure didn't think it through!) duh!
I'm hoping you do a Dyno on the Marts 13.5k. people left Taramps and started this company. They're on sale at Big Jeff audio.
Marts = Taramps
Just bought 4 amps with the warranty for $393. Not bad. Let's see how they live in the basshead environment.
😳
I bought 6 of them. Going to strap them to 3 subs.
I have one running a pair of Kilner Audio HR10D4 10" subs. I'm really impressed. Definitely worth the money.
You should do an amp dyno on a hifonics be35 4000.1, i think that amp will do wayy more than listed spec power
Thanks for the suggestion
A Copy skar audio heat sink :D LOL Hmm well we all agree it is at its rated RMS wow a nice pick sir thank you for this awesome review/testing
There is probably a Chinese profile factory where the heat sinks come from and I'd imagine they are somewhat universal designs and can be chosen from a catalog for your product. At least on the "lesser" brands, meaning the ones that check for the available stuff in China, make deals and then get these types of products shipped. The big brands spend more money on their unique designs, sometimes potentially making even less efficient heat sinks than the traditional style offers, just to stand out. And when you see a knock-off, it's usually quite easy to spot the differences.
@@HulluJanne Good point there nice
Pnase 🤣🤣🤣 glad u did a review of it was just talking to hifi vega a few weeks ago about it 🔊
Still eant to see u run the Class D Roadstar RDA 1011 4000w mono amplifier
I went with a Pioneer gm-e360x4 for JL Audio for my doors and tweets. Says rating at 1000W but doubt I’m getting even close to that, but she does bang for $139! (My PPI Art Series A300 handles the 2 Kicker Comp 10”s @2 ohms)
It's not a 1000 watts amp it's 70x4 at 4ohm and 90x4 at 2ohm
With box rise would it be safe to run this amp at 1ohm?
Big D - the clips got me dyin and not even 3 mins in
How can I get any info on a couple of early 2000 amp that I found from a friend viper d1200.1 and a diamond amp really can’t find any info
Derek stetsom digital Bass dyno test!
Thanks for the suggestion
So, Dereck.
Say you strip the guts, and replace those dubious caps with descent caps like nichicon. Would that improve the sound quality? 🤔
those are rail caps, replacing them doesn't affect sound quality. for class d amps like this the components don't have a huge affect on sound quality, more focused on layout design and the output filter.
@@bensonak47 ok, thanks. I was just curious.
these style class D amps were never designed for sound quality!
@@NightshiftCustom point taken.. 🤷🏻♂️
Unfortunately not
Is there a way to bridge strap two amps without having the master and slave knob as well as the RCA input?
Strapping means one amps positive and the other amps negative goes to the sub. The amps internal clocks need to be synced. So strapping requires a master slave switch and a cable that synchronizes their clocks. This amp can't be strapped.
It's cool Big D but what can u really push with this amp ? 🤔🤔 Somebody please tell me
Alot of subs
Those settings side graphics and knobs looks alot like the C.A.B. 1600.1D everything but the bridge but the in and out are the same, and so on soforth
👌😬👍
Big D you think this thing is worth 85 dollars? Someone has a new one and Offered it to me for 85 bucks
They sell for $87 free shipping, see my link in the pinned comment or video description
@@wal yeah but was it worth it. Did it sound good?
You should test some of the slapz audio amps. 3k for 185 5k for 255. Im running the 5k and very impressed
Same as the Bully 3k and 5k’s I’ve already tested.
I’m surprised you missed they misspelled phase on the amp
I’m getting old, where’s my Walker?
You get what you pay for. I had a cheap planet audio that did hit, but it ended up sending DC to my sub causing it to blow. So yeah take Big D's Advice and buy a D4S amp for 150.00 bucks and get a decent warranty.
one of the many reasons I stick with the Rockford Fosgate power series amplifiers
they are very well made and last forever but they are not cheap
Fact that it can somewhat bump the quad box I'd wait it's a win
possible longevity issues from those cheap caps and that power off noise are the only serious downsides i see. pity, it seems like it'd be a nifty baller budget option otherwise.
Why didn't you bring up the misspelling of the pnase control???
I missed it! Is to be human
Williston audio labs, ain't that the truth!
Is this amp with getting?? Just wanna run a couple twelves in my SUV
I saw Dyno, bought 2 of em. What's the power gauge and fuse size on these bad boys?
Im running a 120 on them. What The manual calls for
@@cliffordsawyer2994 respect brother
Transportation Secretary Buttgig is on your amp!
