Will can you test a marine amp. Boss MR1000. I know its not the mother of all amps or brother, I just need a little bump and there is literally no vids on the internet concerning this amp. Just some guy unboxing one.
Hey so theres these diablo bullet tweeters DB-550 and they are rates at “1000 watts and i find it hard to believe and just want to know because iv been running them and they sound great nice and loud but wanna get an amp so can you do a review???
The oddest thing you’ve ever seen is called panelizing and is how they get two boards out of one. It’s a super common thing to do in consumer electronics.
Awesome, this was every new driver dream. I installed like 30 of them usually with a ported 12 pioneer subwoofer. The main purpose was to make as much noise as possible so on the remaining 2 channel usually there were 6x9 pioneer speakers. Thanks for that memory 🙏
Any chance you keep a spreadsheet or something with the amps you have tested. prices, and results? I find myself trying to remember certain budget amps but you put out so many videos its hard to go back through them for the ones i want. Thanks for keepin the old school stereo stuff alive, the nostalgia is real lol
Thank you BIG D for putting this on, i have seen these on ebay for a few years now, one person was selling one under Alpine name and price saying "very rare" i did message the person to let them know that it was a fake alpine, unfortunately that did not go down very good with the seller telling me to mind my own business ,lol
I love your the K on the brand is the new kicker logo and the V12 along with other details are in the old Alpine V12 font! 🤣 When you can't make it, just FAKE IT! lmfao
Fun fact : negligent reports suggest, running two speaker leads per speaker doubles the rms of the fuse and running a jumper wire from the ground terminal to the negative output terminal when bridged has an inverse square law effect for the subs allowing you to get WELL BEYOND 3800 WHAT'S of pure electrical psi . 😎
Another funny vid!!! In a future video can you expand on the IHF 202 standard and explain wat you mean when you say mimicking the tone as opposed to just generating the tone. Thanks.
Agreed. The Amp Dyno’s dynamic test with the 1kHz tone, 14.4V and 4 ohms meets standard for the IHF-202 spec for dynamic power. There are Tech specs for the burst tone as well.
Thank you Big D. I think we've all seen these, known the numbers were a flat out lie but had that thought..."it has to make some noise, though...could be a fun little setup for ____." I know I've thought about it for a little garage stereo project or something.
We have these in the Philippines on the Lazada website which is similar to your Amazon. If you read the comments on description, the sellers will even let you know the wattage is low😂
Great job man, I'm thankful you didn't test at 1ohm& catch your garage on fire!!!!!🔥🔥🔥keep'em coming( great Halloween amp to scare someone with the Trinity of distortion;-))
I have 4 car amplifiers and I have the same model , it's been working fine since 2008 and only had to change gain potentiometers once . It's powering a dual voice coil pioneer 12 inch subwoofer , both coils are bridged
To make things even better a lot of your amps do have a low pass and/or high pass crossover you should hook it to an oscilloscope to see if at X hertz if the crossover actually works as stated too
So I bought into something similar to this a few times. A couple of years ago I got real big into car audio again and when I checked eBay I was like DAMN! A Lanzar 3000 watt amp for $85.99? Bought it, got it delivered, and as soon as I opened the box I said nahhh...I gave it away. Along with the Pyle 12s that I bought that didn't sound terrible on the PPI "1200 watt" amp that I bought. Right now that PPI "1200 watt" amp is running an 8" Skar IX8 D4 in my Acura TL at full power and it barely pushes it. I wasn't looking for killer bass when I bought the Pyle 12s, but I built a custom vented enclosure for them and they sounded decent with low power, but I soon caught on and dropped some real money on two Sundown SA12-D2s and a Soundstream Rubicon Nano RND5000.1 and they sounded SO much better with 0/1 OFC wire and a big three upgrade. Then I bought two more Sundown SA12-D2s and I also got an Orion HCCA SPLX 3k watt amp and now it's too much...
Please do a review and test of the Rockville Krypton series amps please! I bought the M3 1000W model and have had it for about 3 months and I love it. Excellent amp and features for the price.
Kinda sounds like there's excessive DC on the speaker terminals , probably a load of crossover distortion from crappy/no bias too. What a landfill warrior.
I would love to see an amp dyno test on an old pioneer gm7200m, I personally own one powering 2 p212s4 subs in 2ohm, curious if it does actually have a max of 800w or if it hovers around its 360w rms rating
Love this channel it's my go to channel before I buy car audio Any body know if there's some one that has tested the power acoustik edge amps I got two 7000 watt p.a edge from a buddy of mine that didn't like them im sure there not even close to 7000 watts but I was wondering what the amp will really push.
speaking of cheap amps, diamond audio now owns cerwin vega and i recently became the owner of a cerwin branded monoblock CVPM1000.1D, any thoughts on these palm sized rebranded amps? it seems to bump good enough for me... not many reviews found on it though.
Hey bigdwiz, I am looking to get either the sundown 1000.4 sfb amp or the sundown 500.4 salt series, I intend to run 4-10" b&c bridged and I'm wondering if you could do a dyno on the salt series because there are dynos already with the sfb. Thank you
Back in the day. I always thought my V12 I was running for a while was just a `OK’ amp like a budget $35 amp (I paid $35) but fast forward to recent years. I know now that , the V12 I had was actually a badass amp. Lol but 🤷♂️ young and dumb what can I say your honor
My 400 Watt Alpine amp hits just as well on the same subwoofer as the Walmart power acoustic even tho that amp dyno'd like 650 watt or whatever it was. Good amps
Those mrv-1507 amps popped like fire crackers! Great amp, but can’t take abuse of running subs. 90% of them I sold came back for warranty. Would switch them to MTX, kicker, or RF and everything would be good to go! MTX 81000D Rockford BD1000 & 1500 & 800.2 Then the big ass kickers. I can’t recall the numbers right now.
Seeing those on eBay and such I figured about 50 watts per channel. I wasn't far off. That said, I also figured they wouldn't have that good a playback quality either. Guess I was pretty spot on there too. I'd look for anything else, even if it's used. Thankfully I have enough old school amps in my collection that I'd never buy one of these.
My goodness. This might be the biggest piece of junk you have tested yet! Thanks for taking one for the team so we can all stay really far away from this one. I think I could read a single good book on amplifier design and build a better amp than this. You usually have great ideas for videos and good finds of unknown amplifiers to test, but I'd like to see you get back up into the 4k-8k range one more time for fun, and because a lot of us run big subs and lots of power these days with what is available these days. I would love to see you do the Taramps Smart 5. I'd also love to see the bigger Orion HCCA Amplifiers. Anything in the 5k to 8k range would be nice, just to see if they are still pumping out the kinds of extremely over rated power they used to to like the DSPLX 3k did. I know these kinds of videos are really expensive to make, but I'm sure a lot of us are curious if there are any hidden high power gems out there. Either way, always love the content. Hope things are going good for you.
@@wal I personally enjoy seeing the smaller SQ-Type Amplifiers. They don't make a ton of power obviously; but those are the types of amps I might consider running, if I wasn't running OS CLASS A/B Amps. As far as what to do with this amp?

Big G, the girl who fell in the popcorn video does those kind of videos all of the time. Her friend was filming and it was done on purpose. Her name is Paige Ginn.
Hello. I have a volvo xc70 2015 that amplifies and DAB. radio is under front car seat. There is no aux sound out and holes from the engine are on the same side. I need to convert speaker out to RCA. Both speaker cable and power will go on the same side. Do I need to use shielded speaker cable to avoid noise and interference ??

Hey big D, what's a good 12 inch sub that pushes good bass and has a decent price?
I need 12 subs, and I'm currently limited to 3k watts so they need to be able to sound good with about 250 watts rms each.
From now on don't call it a "Dyno" anymore, call it a "lie detector".
snake oil detector
Yeeesss I've been looking for an amp that passes distortion. My system has been running clean for way too long. 👍good find Big-D
In my Tim Allen voice more distortion......👍🤣
So retro analog scratchy ... time to get out the 8 tracks and records!
Sounds like youre in need of a kraco or sparkomatic eq/booster....who needs McIntosh and linear power hoity toity audiophile notoriety huh?lmao
Run 12 6X9's at .25 ohms. Imagine the BASS!
@@scottsmith4469 That's my name Big D 🤣
The fact they can afford to sell that aluminum chassis for 70 dollars in a cardboard box is impressive
@Jack Torrance Cheers??? WTF man. Did they send you a glass of eggnog and a shot of rum?
LOL!!!
The oddest thing you’ve ever seen is called panelizing and is how they get two boards out of one. It’s a super common thing to do in consumer electronics.
I have that same V-12 (the Alpine one) and it is still bumping... never a fault.
Thanks as always, and cheers from Japan.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome, this was every new driver dream. I installed like 30 of them usually with a ported 12 pioneer subwoofer.

As a broke kid. Is it worth it? I repeat. Broke ass kid who wants better sound
2021 HAS BEEN LEADING UP TO THIS ! Great content as always Sir !
🤣
Lol freaking love these episodes you do of cheap amps. Always very funny! lol
Love it Big D !!! Thanks for keeping us straight !!!
Not even 5 mins in this vid NO PROTECTION now that just made my day. :D LOLOLOL GAME OVER
😬👍
Talk about taking one for the team!! Thanks D, now erryone knows to stear clear!!!
👌😬👍
Any chance you keep a spreadsheet or something with the amps you have tested. prices, and results? I find myself trying to remember certain budget amps but you put out so many videos its hard to go back through them for the ones i want. Thanks for keepin the old school stereo stuff alive, the nostalgia is real lol
A simple Excel spreadsheet or database file would be easy and nice for us Big D
@@DhCustomC seconding this. Google spreadsheet
Thank you BIG D for putting this on, i have seen these on ebay for a few years now, one person was selling one under Alpine name and price saying "very rare" i did message the person to let them know that it was a fake alpine, unfortunately that did not go down very good with the seller telling me to mind my own business ,lol
Big D Wiz love what u do telling us stay away from these cheap amps. love your content.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Real OG's watch until the end.
Yessir!
Thank you Big D !!! I keep seeing that amp show up on my ebay !!! Now I know not to waste my time, even for my bucket car.
Thanks for testing this makes me appreciate the Alpine V12s I have
"NO Protection" means your getting screwed and going to catch something.
Exactly!
I had one of those Alpine 1507 and 2 R10s. What a kick ass combo back in the day!
I love your the K on the brand is the new kicker logo and the V12 along with other details are in the old Alpine V12 font! 🤣
When you can't make it, just FAKE IT! lmfao
Appreciate you man. I thought about trying this amp out. Thanks to you I’m not gonna waste my mullah!!
I bought one of these a couple of years ago.
It doesn't have that distortion issue.
Works good for the garage tunez.
Almost 1.21 Jiggawatts ! 😂
Love that sticker you added to the amp dyno.
3800 watts... they have lost a DOT when aluminum case was printed 😂😂😂
That was funny as hell, thanks Big D

Great job man, I'm thankful you didn't test at 1ohm& catch your garage on fire!!!!!🔥🔥🔥keep'em coming( great Halloween amp to scare someone with the Trinity of distortion;-))
Thanks for watching and commenting!
great sir, greetings sound system from Indonesia🙏🙏, nice to meet you
Thank you for the videos
Wouldn't have that crap either and thanks for sharing
this is also a great testament to the "differnt amps dont have different sound quality" debate
I used to own 2 of the Alpine V12 series and it really does look similar.
2:21 that Super Bass is just "Super Distortion"
Great Scott!
Man in the intro I thought there was something wrong with my Edifers. Glad to know it was that terrible amp! LOL
Maaaan I'm literally cracking up laughing during this entire video! 😂😂😂😂
Good evening sir. I just got a California special mongoose. Today. In the blue. Great video by the way 👍
I wanted to see at the end you hit it with .5 ohm and see if starts a fire .
Since it has No protection, yeah, lol
I could hear the distortion through UA-cam on my phone through its speaker.
I had 3 Alpine V12 amps and this is a real insult to their awesomeness.
I have 4 car amplifiers and I have the same model , it's been working fine since 2008 and only had to change gain potentiometers once . It's powering a dual voice coil pioneer 12 inch subwoofer , both coils are bridged
That sound when the amp doesn't even get close 🤣 😂
That six channel mode is interesting
You forgot to fine tune out that distortion with the adjustments under that tiny piece of plexiglass 🤣😂
"thats why Im here..." yes..yes....and we thank you for it.
To make things even better a lot of your amps do have a low pass and/or high pass crossover you should hook it to an oscilloscope to see if at X hertz if the crossover actually works as stated too
Been a fan for a while, have you done any videos on CT Sounds? They have a 1000Watt amp on sale right now, for $169. Looks pretty good.
Big D tryin to be Alfred Hitchcock in the intro. You say don't buy, however, it sound so goood! Oh, nevermind I just saw the end :/
Listen on headphones, you’ll hear da static

Loved that v12 alpine amp my brother had
I loved my alpine V12 100M it was a tiny beast on my jl audio W3 subs back in the day.
Loved the Alpine V12's with swedish Dls speakers, great sounding combo! 😊👌
I have an audio labs amplifier right now it works fairly decent surprisingly
Kinda sounds like there's excessive DC on the speaker terminals , probably a load of crossover distortion from crappy/no bias too. What a landfill warrior.
I had a alpine V12 MRV707 it made everything flexed
Aww big d i wanted to see magic pixie come out wit 1ohm smoke
That's a Class F amp for Fart mode active! :-D
Im planning to get the Alpine PDX-V9 5 channel amplifier so i would appreciate if you do a review on it and do some dyno runs.
Big D I would love it if you did a dyno on the nemesis 6k amplifier. Just a request from one of your subscribers.
Dat subwoofer be like ‘why you play’n me D?????’
Bump doe, not
Bring back the skateboard clip for the intro 😭😂
wow the bass THD boost really does increase the THD
Super bass and no protection got me🤣💀
Lolo
I've been waiting for you to find out about the fake Alpine amp lol
I need some distortion in my system it sounds to clean this amp is what I’ve been looking for all my life.
This is a WUDI amp! But they sell them unbranded in bulk for about 12 bucks
Dam those dynamic numbers that thing has some nice head room. Lol
About as much headroom as a Corvette 😬
@@wal FACTS.
Perfect for the 1 kilowatt JC Whitney 7 way 6x9 speakers
Finally , lots of this amp available in the Philippines.
thank you!!!!!!!!
NO Protection! 🤣🤣🤣
👌😬👍
Lesson learned...
Always remove 1 zero from the rating and then add a ÷ symbol in place of the X symbol.
Damn Big D you were supposed to get the Chinese eBay amp with the 2x25 amp fuses. That's the big boy that does rated 😂
I was hoping for so much more with this Kuele looking amp.
