I've got it running at 2ohms and put it through it's paces on my 45 min commute to work. It wasn't even warm during that time. I'm very impressed with it so far. So much so I'm getting another one for my weekend ride. I wish they made an A/B 2 or 4 channel in this series.

    Ah nice you are reviewing the Stingers finally. I got one of the MT2000.1s free a while back and if I werent such a hoarder I was going to see if you wanted me to send it to you ha. I also got one of their MC1S12A 12-inch subs w/ enclosure, rated at 700w RMS (currently used on my computer getting around 500w), and one of their DC2S12B 12s w/ enclosure rated at 1000w RMS (haven't actually used that one yet). The MC1S12A actually sounds REALLY good. I haven't used the DC2S12B and I don't currently have any need for the MT2000.1 either so I can't say if either of them are any good, but the MC1S12A really surprised me. The first Stinger product I used was their 10 farad hybrid cap, the SPC5010, and that literally exploded all over my trunk, so I was not expecting much from their modern stuff. Good to see they are making quality gear now.

    Well mine went into protect today after playing around full tilt with the windows down and ac on. Running two alpine r 12’s (swr-1242d) 06 Silverado with 130a alt, $60 Walmart lead acid battery, big 3. Gain set lower than clipping point but ‘cabin gain’ from being in a small single cab truck might’ve sent me into clipping. Amp was cold when it went into protect. Let it rest for a bit while I checked all connections. Everything was good and was playing fine after that. Turned gain down a bit hopefully it doesn’t go back or I’ll have to up the electrical

The 4660 the 7600 and 8600 and the w4500 have been out since before the takeover. Just because the new entry level is crap doesn’t mean the high end isn’t good. That being said. The Stinger High10 is a solid unit.

      @paulgood2218 the PRS is a single din radio. The 99PRS doesnt even have Bluetooth phone call. It doesnt sell. The 80PRS i had failures on the knobs and buttons were crap even though the sound was good. If you're going to replace an oem screen in a new vehicle, you don't want a single din radio these days. Kenwood XR, Sony ES, and Alpine Status and F1 is where you should look. I think Alpine is good at the 507 and up. Most people run a Helix DSP or equivalent if real SQ is what you're after. Or run a DAC the headunit these days is a navigation and hands free source.

    When an amp does 400 watts certified and then 405 watts dynamic it reqlly goes to show you that once it hits a certain threshold it starts putting out dirty signal power.... so these amps are very sensitive to gain setting and tuning....just remember that if you buy an amp that has these kinds of specs.

    Not bad for the price but you can still get a TOPSTRONGGEAR 1100.1D for a similar price, more power plus it has a clip light. I'd never buy a sub amp that doesn't have a clip light. I relocated mine from the pcb of the amp with speaker wire to the inside of the bass knob. Looks factory. I moved on to more power but I never had issues with the amp. Still use in my home stereo for a Skar VXF 15.

    That how Lauren what to get and what not to get you don’t need to spend $20,000 on a stereo system for it to sound good but back in the 90s that’s just how it was 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🧰🧰🧰🪛🪛🔧🔧

    My first ever install I did by myself had Stinger wiring back to front. Seeing them make amps is interesting. And it’s holding its own on the wattage which is amazing. Looking at how amps have evolved over the years this amp is putting out some good power but is definitely efficient. Great video!

      @johannjohann6523 Рік тому +3

      Hint: Get ya an efficient quiet/silent 12V computer fan that matches the width of the amp. You can find good ones online for $5-$15. Get some velcro, make small pieces to fit at the fans base (4 corners), do the same on the the amp that match the fan (smaller the better as long as it holds) and tie fan power into the amps 5v power turn on wire, and there ya go. Drilling a couple holes in the amp cover can also be done (since there are some holes in the bottom cover). Make sure fan is pulling air, not blowing air onto the amp. Especially if you end up mounting the amp in the trunk. If you have fold down rear seats, or access door that allows access to trunk, leave that open whenever possible in the summer so some AC cool air can reach the trunk. Adding another small quiet fan if you only have a small access opening (I think for skis I believe) isn't a bad idea to draw cool cabin air into the trunk. Just make sure to raise the amp up a little bit so it isn't sitting flush on the floor or side panels. Add some cheap speaker feet so air can draw through the bottom. And that should help alot, and make sure the amp performs a long time. Heat/getting too hot is the reason most amps simply fail over time. Especially a budget amp like this one. But with the amps efficiency ratings, you would like to think it should last. Naturally playing the amp at 4 or 2 ohms would be the best, and help reduce heat as well. I don't know why all amps don't incorporate a fan in their design. They cost most companies only a buck or two. (PS you really don't want the Thermal Protection to ever kick in on a budget amp. Most of the time the protection circuit still allows the output transisters to blow. And the amp won't turn back on unless you replace them. Which there should only be one or two for that amp. Most likely 1. You can test them using a multi-meter. And will be close to to where the speaker wires hookup usually. Usually. Sometimes you can get a "Data Sheet" for the amplifier, but that's 50/50 giving you the amps schematics. It isn't necessarily too difficult to replace if ya can de-solder, and solder. Just make sure you buy the "Exact" same brand and type of replacement transister, or you can end up with distortion, or the amp not running at all. Even looking for a date made as close to the original transister that blew. We're talking $5-$10 incl. shipping. Digi-Key is a good company to buy resisters, caps etc. and not get ripped off.). Wow, longer than I expected, but just some amp FYI. (naturally using the largest power wire possible will also help with heat).So go crank it up and annoy your neighbors! lol. If it's too loud you're too old! take care.

      You must be pushing your amp to the max. I can run my MT1000.1 with the STINGER Single 12" 700 Watt (RMS) Loaded Subwoofer Enclosure | Ported 1 Ohm Subwoofer Box | Down Firing Box for Max Sound (700 Watts RMS/1200 Watts Max) MC1S12A at about 65% gain, subsonic filter at 30hz, no bass boost because it totally throws off the linearity of the subs frequency curve, and HPF set to 70 hz to 80hz depending on the music I'm playing. I got an SPL of 121db at these modest settings in my 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport GT...Just think I have plenty of headroom left on the amp and still get great SPL...The amp hardly ever gets warm let alone HOT!!!

      I got mine early July. I have the gain set about ⅝ running the amp almost daily to and from work (about an hour each way). The amp would get pretty hot, but thankfully never went into protect mode. I push it pretty hard from my car deck. Other reviews I've read said the heat management inside the amp is very good. I mounted the amp on rubber washers and it did help with heat dissipation.
      Big D really gave an accurate review. The bass knob goes from minimum to high with just a little incremental turn. Possible resistor issue within the knob mechanism.
      At this price point and from my experience, I am completely satisfied with the performance.
      Stinger is owned by the same company as AudioControl, so honoring the warranty shouldn't be a problem if the product fails.
