    Derrick, I watch so very very very many of your videos. Out of all the different posters on TH-cam that hold my interest, you ARE by far one of my most favorite, most watched posters.
    Even though I don’t even have a vehicle, I do have a background in stereo installation. I do hope, pray, intend to have a Vehicle of my own very soon. I will most certainly use your videos as a reference to what I will install in my own vehicle.

    Damn nice they're trying to do right now. A lot of their amps were all "max" rated. I've picked up one amp rated that way and glad it's the only time I've made that mistake, if not for you and tubers like yourself, we wouldn't know better. Thanks for the excellent content n keep em coming. The synergy wfo amp is amazing so far BTW, it puts out some crazy power.

    I personally thank you for you being an honest no b.s. man to deliver us the truth about these amps! After seeing your tests on the Dual 2 and 4 channel amplifiers, i got lucky and purchased a few of them for my system, now they're hard to find😂 These companies owe you a LOT for you bringing these products to our attention👍 I just hope that the amplifiers that they personally send you are indeed from the same line that they sell to us as regular customers and not just beefed up for you to review because they know that you're going to tell the truth😂👍👍👍

    Since impedance rise is inevitable I’m starting to pay more attention to the 2 ohm output. The 1 ohm and bellow the amp will from my understanding hardly ever see that in real life only for very short periods at box tuning. Makes me appreciate the Smart 3’s constant power at variable loads even more.

    • @CameronWink
      @CameronWink 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's just the opposite actually, anywhere around tuning the impedance goes way up. For this reason a vented sub system will be able to provide far more output on far less current, especially if tuning is near where the bulk of the energy is. Simply blocking the port will cause current draw to go way up as it get's rid of that cab resonance impedance peak

      @@hippo-potamus um... no. I've probably been in the biz longer than you have been alive. More specifically, there are actually 2 large impedance peaks on either side of tuning which you can move around in size depending on vehicle resonance and which side of fs you tune to but yes, impedance at tuning is also virtually always higher than the nominal rating and far higher for a ways on either side. If you can get an impedance peak at a freq that gives you good SPL you can get tons of free output for a burp only system. Put a subsonic below where it rolls off and high pass above and you can squeeze an amp for lots of juice if careful because the system is just more efficient at those freqs so less current is needed however its risky. It's not like you lose a ton of output at an impedance peak so if you're crafty you can use the peaks to your advantage if setup for a "burp" only but in real world it's not worth worrying about, it's just the secret math in the background. A sealed box typically has a much smaller single impedance hump so it requires far more current to operate.

      @hippo-potamus 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Listening from other videos, that box does have a lot of organ pipe resonance or port noise. There were many attempts to eliminate the problem back in the 80s and 90s. One trick was to put string across the port like a guitar but I don't know how successful that was. Another great video.

I really had to do my research on the amp! $200 and on the dyno it did the 190w x4 @ 4 ohms and 295+ x 4 @ 2 ohms stereo. I'll be hooking it up as soon as possible. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the setup sounds. Highs and mids on a budget with a small footprint! Wish me luck!

U will cook those tweeters pretty often even at rated clean power ( I have a dd1 and a cc1), but fortunately they sell the recoil kit for the tw120, think it's tw-120vc for like $15 a pair, do urself a favor nd order a set to keep on hand lol. I replace mine about once a month. Awesome sounding tweeters tho, worth the $15 a month recoil imho

    Man ive been seeing DS18 quite a lot at the moment. Parts express now is starting to sell some of their products. I'm actually going to get the DS18 Pro-GM6 6.5s" for some speakers I'm building. Is it me or are they getting more and more popular now😂?

    Would you choose this over the taramps 3k? Got a taramp 3k but haven't installed it yet, thinking of getting a backup reliable amp. This will be my first time with a taramp amp don't no how it will perform.

      That's the same exact comment that i was about to make!😂 They know that BIG D is going to keep it real with everyone, so i can see these people actually boosting an amplifier and sending it to him because they know that he's the test master at amplifiers. 💡And they also know that their sales are definitely going to be based off of what BIG D says😂👍
