Holy crap! That was by far the fastest and most thorough explanation of how an amp works I have ever seen! Very nice!
👦 i.
@@RWL2012 Got me as well mate. What's up "Joe Frick"? "Nobody Knows. LOL.
had to watch it slowed down set the play speed to .5 to tealy understand
Is the hifonics be35 4000.1D any good? I cant find no dyno or gut shots for this amp.
@@rhurtadorh32 I dont know but i'll tell you this, theres no way I would spend $900 on a 4000 watt Hifonics amp. You can definitely do better than that .
Being in the car audio game since the mid 90s, you are the FIRST PERSON I have ever seen/heard that has the knowledge and ease of explaining things, not that I could memorize or fully grasp some of it, but damn, thorough and to the point! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and seeing your vids alongside the 2 big amp test guys now anyone can fully grasp anything and EVRYTHING needed and more than most people that have been around for decades, like myself! Thank you, liked and subscribed!
Yeah he knocked this one out of the park
i love the way you are in-depth in your vids and instructional, makes things more easily to understand. Great vid man, keep it up and thanks!!
One thing for the Rockville's are that they are priced reasonable to RMS output.
Same, your channel is a true gold mine for the car audio people out there. People need to be sharing you channel 23/7!
I would like to see some of the so called top shelf amps dyno tested.
Sam's videos are always top notch, informative, and well laid out. One of my favorite UA-cam channels by far.
Very informative video, thank you for sharing your knowlenge! You definitely know your stuff! Hilarious ratings on that amp..
Remarkable, I understand every single word of what he says.... Great video and explanations. He really knows what he is talking about. Keep it up!!!
yes, excellent circuit description! top marks mate! Someone on youtube that actually understands half wave switched mode class D amplifier operation!
That was great! Cannot wait to see what a modified Rockville would produce! Cheers buddy!!
I would like to see this to I wonder if he ever got around to doing it
Who the hell are you!..... by far one of the best tech guys i've seen and listened to just subscribed great video
He's my hero. I started watching his video a year or two ago, with the intent on fixing some of my amps but most of all learning whats going on. I just haven't been able to Penny up for the equipment yet so I've fallen off a bit on watching.
This! Just found this guy. Genius and funny 😂
So glad you got in on the action! Wish I could send you my broken amps
When I see peak Wattage I go blind. I can only see RMS!!!
The only problem here is Rockville's RMS ratings are full of crap too. You have to look at their "CEA" ratings in the small print just to get a ballpark number for the output capability of what it should produce, and not what actually produces. To make things worst, they even include a bogus birthsheet.🤦♂️
I seriously haven’t even looked at anything with a peak rating since I had Sony xplods from Walmart when I was 9 lo.
@@fd1596 alot of people claim there new rockville db comp5 is really good with a korean board. how about the hifonics be35 4000.1D you think that amp is any good?
@@rhurtadorh32 I use to love Hifonics amplifiers but their numbers can't be trusted anymore. I've seen Dyno videos of the new Rockville amps and I think they're pretty good.
Thanks for the input, I know you're a busy man, several of my bass group out of Colorado subscribe, taking time out for fans, makes you top notch in my book, and your Zed 4s and build is badass......
Very informative! I love the way you break down technical subjects into easy to understand language.
This gentleman is definitely educated and he has the right equipment. Well done. Thank you for your time!
This is friggin great man, I had no clue you did in depth Amp vids like this. I've been subscribed for years and stupid UA-cam never puts you on my feed. Definitely going on your page to find more. Need to learn more about the Amp workings and test equipment!
Thanks!!!
U are the man brotha i love the way u SCHOOLED them awesome video that deserves a 👍🏼👍🏼 (✌🏼💪🏼🔈💪🏼🔉💪🏼🔊)
The live stream amp repairs are always awesome! Not only do you get to see the actual repair process, you can learn a bit about it as well.
Thank you very much for performing this..... it's been a long debate and lots of people have been very upset with Rockville so I'm very happy with you actually going ahead and doing this video... It would be very interesting to see what you can actually do with some circuits to make this thing better
appreciate the video couple times I was forced to mount on box never doing that ever again after watching this! Thanks
I always learn something when I watch one of your videos! Another great one 🔊🔊
Great video! Please do this for more amps! Id love to see you break down the components and failure points of popular amp models and compare the real cost and quality of the components to the price of the amp.
Best informative amp bench test/review I have ever seen. We need more!!!
You are one very smart person mate. Respect. Thanks for uploading
I've been laughing my ass off since the Rockville live feed.... The memes have been savage. LOL!
too bad i didnt meet you on modified nationals this year, would have loved it too meet the man with the golden hands, keep up the amazing work 👌👍👍
Great info, great frankness, and great energy! Cheers!
i love what you do man....I never comment on anything to much bullshit and dramma in comments, lol..... but what you do and how you do it is superb!!! keep up the great work.
great video ! keep up the good work ! love watching your vids
OMG this is a good move hi teach,
yeah you did good with this one I thought that buy in Rockville and playing under those numbers would be a safe thing to do for me 1750 is not a bad place to be I'm a daily bass head and the price that they sell them at is not bad either having you backing up the quality and replacement upgrades makes it worthwhile for me to buy this I'm sure it will have the same effect on others #Rockvilleaudio needs this video badly! @rockville @rockvilleaudio #rockville well done teach
#rockvillereview #rockvillerepair #rockvilledead #rockvillamplifier
Dude thank you for this. Entertaining to watch and gives me some insight into the brand. Currently considering a RXM8BTB. Will continue to research the model
YES PLEASE DO THAT!! Take a Rockville db16 and modify it to make the power it claims! That would be an AMAZING video and then Sell your design to Rockville!! Because obviously their "designers" suck! Thank you for another Brilliant Idea in another Brilliant video brother!!
I have a db 15 "6kw" would love to see you mod one similar
Awesome video. Glad more people are getting in on this topic
You know 4 years ago Rockville had a 1 ohm monoblock Williston Audio Labs dyno'd the Rockville RXD-M4 1500W on the SMD AD-1. At 1 ohm certified he only got 1267 watts, but in the uncertified he got 1546 watts, and in the dynamic he got 2128 watts, he also ran a .5 ohm test in dynamic mode and got 3154 watts. I'm not saying they are great amps, but that one for $150 seemed worth it for newbies. But obviously they have changed many things with ratings since then, that RXD-M4 was rated 1500 cea and 3000 rms, which as you point to is only them trying to sell as many as possible.
Smiles, I used to love the grocery store amps coming in with ridiculous wattage claims 3000+3000W's... and has a 10 amp fuse on the chassis. I love your explanations, right on, no frills, realistic.
I've always enjoyed your vids, your super smart. Keep up the great work
I loved this review so much that I Liked and Subscribed. Thank you.
This was refreshing to watch. I hope the new Orion amps have gotten better on build quality, I just bought 2 of the XTR 1500.2. I wish I could find a dyno video on that particular amp.
Great video with great info. Keep it coming very enjoyable content.
RIGHT BEFORE THE 19:00 minute mark and for the next minute he goes TF off 😂😂😂😂
🤣
Lol
WAYNE Omega yeah, he got pissed LoL
Lol lol 😆
This is great I love the bench test and the review just subscribed
i did watch the gem or bust prior to this and was ready to buy all sounded great but then this guy saved me the money,back to researching a 5 ch amp thanks
dude, i just bought an auction lot of oscilloscopes yesterday! haha i got inspired by your vids! :)
I like being showed, not being told! That was very informative!
Yup just subbed love it when people know what they are talking about!!!
Absolutely the best explanation of what the hell is going on in an amp. #manythanks definitely my favorite channel now
Love the way you just rambled out the spec at 100mph , what every part is and dose ......you got skills ...UK England
Hey bro you are the only person who gives a good explanation of these electronics
Fast, smart and funny as hell. I love your videos.
Good video, thank you. You're a first in these kind of videos. Looking forward to internal 'bolt-on' mod videos for car amps 👌
You are the man. Thank you for the great knowledge. I think Rockville is going to call you. LOL
Nice to see a guy that knows everything about the internals & not just test the power.
I’m from Minnesota USA. Your vid’s are definitely a treasure trove of valuable information. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Rockville DB5. Great job keep up the good work👌
This is from the same company that makes these Subwoofer drivers that eat themselves I think. Dishonesty in power has been with us for years. With over 50 years in AV, I have seen it all. Nice to see someone calls it as it is. So refreshing. This Rockville is a stone. Great channel man!
Awesome thank u so much i have the db comp 5 and i got it few years ago on amazon for under 300 and was very impressed with the way the amp looked , felt, sounded, everything i have it on 2 american bass xfl 12s dvc2 running at 2ohm and i have gain less then half bass less then half it slams! No issues so far love the amp. I noticed thr price has gone up considerably to bout 500 bucks but id still pay it knowing whst i know now.
I have two db comp5's, and two dbcomp4's.
One of my 5's did pop some fets (not badly)- electrical wasn't up, and low voltage got it. No burns, no smoke - 8 fets and the gate resistors.
The dbcomp series are beasts.
good afternoon I am a subscriber of your UA-cam channel thank you very much for reaching many people with their teachings to share their experiences I am César from Colombia I want to know where I can get original electronic components since in my country it is something difficult to get many thanks for your information he was totally grateful
I usually watch your videos at 1.5 speed - that explanation was .75!
You nailed it = the most consice explanation I've ever seen
This guy is as hilarious as he is knowledgeable. I'm still chuckling!! Bravo dude!
Man you are the smartest man I seen breaking down the functions of an amplifier i have 2 kicker kx750 amps need fixing can you help me
Thanks for sharing. I've learned a few things
It is nice to see your take on them. You had my hopes rising there too. Too bad for them. Hopefully they just wise up and step up again without trying to bs everyone.
19:10 is my favorite bit. Every time.
This is my FAVORITE amp video of all time! lol Awesome work brotha! Subscribed!!
I would like to see you do another test on another Rockville amp, then tweak the internals, then a final test.
Really nice vid. great detailed explanations!
OMG You are funny as all out doors when you get in Rockville's business,,,,Keep up the good work and Thanks for being REAL
Good video, I learned a few things. Thanks!
Recommend to me... This was extremely insightful ! Subbed ✊
Dude I love your vids bro like I just love how detailed everything is and how you point it all out it's refreshing thank you for posting your vids dude also have you happen to be inside a Orion hcca3000.1dsplx amp? I'm curious how well there made I know they put out crazy power but would love a in-depth video on one! Cheers
You are a scientist!! Amazing explanation
Would love to see any upgrade available. I love taking a bare bones setup and tweaking it to be special.
Wow your knowledge is impressive! I'm subscribing for sure. Always good to know what our hard earned money is buying.
I love this guy. Genius.
I created all this Rockville nonsense originally !! 😂😂😂I’m getting a kick out of it now .
Your vids are very informative too. You’re very intelligent and I would like to chill and listen to you for hours .
I LOVE watching your videos
Nice bro! You should have do more rebass on songs. You were used to active at rebassing. I also thought you were dead! But I'm wrong! This such an informative video I ever found!!!
I know this videos is old but that walk through was LEGENDARY! F*cking awesome! 👊
That would be actually awesome if you could tweak a rockville amp to make more power, I am just getting into electronic engineering and would like to get into this sort of thing. But great job on the Video!
i really enjoy your videos you are very explicit with the work you do . i am doing my own rebuilds really just touching what you know i am not that well ahead as you But i do ok for what i have learned and your videos have increased my knowledge skills greatly . as for Rockville i own 2 10" and i think the rated amps and speakers all are rated the way they are is IF you have 2 of what ever it is that they say on 1 that it will do . that is if you have 1 speaker that says it will do 3200 watts it would actually take 2 of those for it to be able to handle or produce that said amount . just a thought on this subject .
What A Great Video, So Understandable !
I just found your channel as suggested by Williston Audio Labs. I subbed due to this video. Great explanation ( even though I didn't understand all of it :^) ) But I would have subbed simply due to the shirt you're wearing. #DD4LIFE
I'm anxious to see more of your content.
You are so right, The build sheet said 1500 watts at 1 ohm on the Rockville amp I had. I had the 1ohm 4000/ 8000 amp
Hi dude your videos are awesome to watch just had an idea I have a hcca 2400d that I brought as not tested as have no system anymore got it installed got green light but no output but sometimes it would flash the yellow light but not allways been in my garage ever since how much do you charge for your repairs keep up the informative videos man it's so interesting to watch you fix these problems
I don't know what any of this means but it sounds sick AF. Subbed.
Great video. I would love to send you my old school bad ass amp. To see what is so much better with newer amps.
I love the sg3525. Btw it has an inbuilt driver transistors to drive the mosfets efficiently
EXCELLENT VIDEO AS ALWAYS BROTHER!!!!
Great video man. You got skills brother. I’d like to see a video of you tweaking a Rockville amp to improve on it. That’d be awesome
I enjoyed this video. It was funny as hell! 😂😂
Ok it’s about time I find someone who explains how an amp works
Snap bro.. i been watching your vids all this time .. slap me lol i forgot to subscribe.. man... 2 thumbs up bro 👍😎
Mr Vids you are truly inspirational!! , soooooooo when are you moving to the states so I can have someone I trust work on my amps? Lol one can only wish..
You are a very smart guy.!. Your explanation of how to was amazing.!.Also can you let us know when you decide to add more power to the Rockville Amp.?. I would love to see that
I rather enjoy your videos, I became a subscriber because of this one :)
Love the vid Sam👍.
Just telling how it is
I found your video looking for reviews of info on a different equipment and man I have to said you are impressively talented and know your stuff! I wish you were local in Florida so I could buy you a beer!!! Keep up the good work and I hope you get paid what you are worth it!!!
I got a Rockville RAM15BT 15" Rechargable Powered 800W PA Speaker and as soon I received I knew something was off on it. Definitely this Rockville people got me! The speaker should do 200w RMS and 800 peak....yeah right! I have a similar one but at 100w RMS and blows the Rockville away!! How they get away with this BS!! Over rating their equipment to gain sales this is a joke with all the off brands.
Excellent description of how a push pull circuit works!! Please do a mod video.
Great video good bass knowledge to have.
0:53-2:08 was so choice! great job man!
LMFAO, you might have pissed away your chances of getting a sponsorship, but you did however make a few of us laugh!
I personally appreciate the unfiltered, and dramatic comic relief of a review.
I would love to see you build it up for it to make more power 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸
i get the same thing out of these on a 2-1.33-1R static load test after switching the power supply mosfet to the irf3205's. As you said the build quality is not so bad, better than some higher priced amplifiers. Great Video
Changing the power supply fets will never make an amp so more power, it may just increase the amount of current it can handle before overheating. The only way to make an amp do more power into the same load is to increase the rail voltages, so modify the transformer and other components to deal with the higher voltage.
