Yeah I've got a whole rack system that is "techincal pro" and "pro studio" branded and cost over 3 grand at rent-a-center claiming to be 2,500watts and currently has four 15 and four 12in speakers hooked up to it and while I know it isn't anywhere near 2.5k watts she definitely does dim the lights when it powers on and is cranked up to just under distortion lol
YESSS, I have an old Mackie FR1400i that slams, be curious to know how much it's pushing. These were considered to be more of their "budget workhorse" lineup if I understand correctly. Some say the specs are underrated on these. Would be interesting to contrast that with newer budget pro amps.
Crown I-tech, Powersoft, QSC, Yamaha, Lab Gruppen, Peavey, Crest, Carvin too! ;-) Also the Lab Gruppen clones that cost a fraction of the authentics. Some HT folks swear by them which is fine. Live music guys OTOH with their livelihood depending upon them, not so much.
You are doing a great service for the community my friend. I would love to see more "pro" amps like this on the dyno. I recently came from being in the market for 2 pro amps and the amount of amps I've found with outrageous claims is just as ridiculous as the car amp manufacturers. *Cough* Rockville "pro" amps. We've seen palm sized amps put out more juice then these massive goliaths.
I had never heard of this company. As soon as I saw the weight, price and physical dimensions, I knew I was here for the entertainment. 😆 Thanks for the Wendy's "where's the beef!" clip too. You're showing your age Big D.
@@38911bytefree $37.50 a watt is totally fine, if you make 250-300k a year. Unfortunately, I’m not in that cool guy class! The audison venti 200x2 @4 ohms for only 14,999.99.😂😂
I really like this pro audio amplifier video with talking points! I have a mid level 7.1 surround sound system with all JBL speakers and was just thinking the other day about using PA audio amps. This video helps! Thanks Williston Audio Lab's! Keep the videos coming.
Picked up an old school Peavey PV 2000 a few weeks ago for $300cdn. Dims the house lights very easily lol. Loving the pro amp tests, looking forward to more of them!
Love the content as always!!! You ARE a necessity for learning an amps abilities now!!! Your the first stop for people looking to study an amp to buy. "Your the truth" my friend!!!
@@wal and you do a Damn Good Job doing so brother!!! Your what we call an "Equalizer". You've done for the audio community what the Colt .45 did for self protection!!! You equalized the market against the "scammer" companies robbing people with lies. "Your the Truth Brother"!!!
Internals remind me of the flea market amps back in the 90's that weighed 20-30lbs, but when you open them up, it's a big heavy metal plate bolted in, and over buy the power terminals was an amplifier the size of something that would fit in a walkman! Lol
Yo dereck would you consider ever trying out the t.amp E1500? $249 + shipping n tax I have the E1200 and it prob hits rated for sure, good bang for buck amps.
Always entertaining Dereck! Thanks for the video. Wasnt considering this one for the theater subs but still good to see the BS stuff out there. LOL That being said I still wanna see a dyno on the Sinbosens.
Would LOVE for you to test more of these pro amps. I have a Behringer PRO power amplifier (NX6000) which is rated for 3,000w x 2 @ 4 ohms. I used it to run my 15" car audio subwoofer/custom ported box in the living room. The 15" subwoofer (Skar Audio D4 VXF) is rated for 3,000 watts. This amp will bottom it out...but, the whole house just about shakes apart.
@@analogkid4557 lol no, they do 2100-2400W per channel as it's basically 2 NX3000's in bridge inside, same with the NU6000 and NU3000 actually. excellent price for the power they put out
Lol.. that in a way reminded me of the old "Rockwood" or "Kenford" amps back in the mid 90s...a huge footprint to make it look powerful. But all that was inside was a tiny chip amp board.
@@wal, I found your videos years ago. Other people try doing the same tests it’s just not the same. I’ve tried watching a few but never get more than a few minutes in. Thanks again!
I had an Aiwa shelf stereo circa 2003 that would have 💩 all over this thing. I remember it being like 199 at Walmart. I even hooked a set of 12s in a bandpass car box up to the sub channel and got a lecture from my mom. Miss that little stereo lol
What I have learned from watching all these amp test vids is the fuse rating times 10 minus a little is almost always in the ball park of the amp will do. (12v amps) For example: I can confidently buy a lying no name amp and know if the unit has 75 amps of fusing I can expect about 600 watts or so.
I'd love to see a Thomann's own brand budget amp on this channel. Their E-Series amps are awesome for pushing power on the cheap. The E1200 and E1500 models are 115v switchable so either one of those could be tested. Supposedly, you are able to crank out 2x800w at 8 ohm and 2x1200w at 4 ohm for the E1200. They certainly push high power and it would be nice to see some actually decent budget amps being tested.
On the topic of pro audio, I recently came across LASE amplifiers. They have a line of 1U size amps that go all the way up to 2X9000WRMS AT 2ohm. That’s hard to believe, would be very curious what it actually puts out. They are not overly cheap either.
thanks for this video. I have a ton of pro audio amps mostly used for home theater tasks and its always nice to see these kinds of videos as some of the amps are exactly what you show them to be "a joke"...
At least it is consistent, consistently bad. To think I was jealous of my brother who has one as his is so light while my Gemini 1600 watt weighs a ton and the toroid transformer alone his heavier than the entire Technical Pro. I feel much better after this video. Would love to see an analysis of the Gemini.
Been watching your videos for a while and just subscribed. I just purchased a couple of inexpensive pro amps. Rockville RPA12 to run my old Cerwin Vega 12" house speakers and the Rockville D14 for my two Dayton Audio Ultimax 15's. They sound really good but was curious about the actual wattage. I would love for you to test these out on you amp dynoand get you input on value.
Also I had to go see how much my Carvin HT1000 weighs. It is rather heavy. It comes in at almost 23lbs! I normally use it to power a 18" JBL pro sub brigded at 4ohms. My single TOA amp puts out more than that "pro" amp. No balanced in, XLR or even 3/4". 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔probably not pro. Thanks big D for the video. Keep them coming
Hey do you think you will test the Rockville home audio amps? Or the Emotiva amps? I bought the Crown XLi 2500 and I am not impressed at all. I had high hopes for this amp so a huge let down nonetheless. Lol
Yep I was afraid of that. I bought 3 of them back in 2016 for a home theater set up. I discovered real fast something wasn’t right with them. I found out that any speaker with a 10” driver or smaller. They would play real well and clean. But I have a pair of towers that have dual 15” drivers in each. They would play the midrange and tweet but did not have enough oomph to get the drivers moving. So I tried a 10” doc sub woofer in a ported box. Subwoofer barely moved. In fact the only way you could hear the bass was to stick your ear against the port. So if you speakers are 10” or less full range only. Then you could get buy. If you running studio speakers in a home recording studio. They will work fine. If you want to rock out a nightclub. That will be a no go. You will have no customer. To spend money while they dance 🕺 lol 😂.
There are plenty of higher quality options in that true power range for under $200. A quick look at Crutchfield will provide a couple. I run a Niles SI 245 for the bookshelf speakers in my garage and it does 45 watts per channel into 8 ohms while being cleaner and slimmer. I paid $40 for mine and they are plenty on ebay for under $100. Keep up the variety Big D 👍
Would love to see vintage power amps from the 70's dyno'd. It would be nice to see how the power is rated back then. Especially on a nice amp (interesting look) like the legendary Mitsubishi Da-a15 DC power amp.
Do you think one of the crown 1500 amplifiers would power 2 of the skar 18s that you recently reviewed in a live sound scenario? I would be feeding it with a mixer with proper filters. Just looking for a more bang for buck option than the very expensive options of pa subwoofers on the market.
awesome video.. hope to see some more pro audio stuff.. like the behringer ep2000 or ep4000.. especially since i own one of each lol. also my buddy has a crown pro amp that has rca inputs, and qsc has amps available with rca inputs as well
Someone installed it, realized their mistake and sent it back. Reminds me of when Fry’s Electronics would re-shelf used and blown items claiming they were brand new
Just mind blowing for me seeing these tests and results you get. The perspective from a old guy that had car stereo in the 90s 😁 Really cool to see that my favourite amps Phoenix Gold from that area are collectable. Think the smaller was a 275, and the one for the subwoofers had twice the power.
I remember seeing catalogs of this company's wares in the early 2000s, might still have it. Anyways, the catalog was very well done as far as giving a good impression.
Just recently got ahold of there 21 frequency equalizer with LED display. And a LED power output display. I think it would be very cool if you did some videos on graphic displays that are available these days for home stereos since there are so many. I have yet to hook mine up
This is EXACTLY why I bought my crown XLi amplifiers. They are super powerful, under rated, over performing pro amps, and with mega dynamic power in reserve, your dyno proves that! XLi 3500 powering 2 parts express UM18-22's and another XLi 1500 powering 2 JBL GTI 1500 old school subs. My house foundation is in danger, lol!
I just tore down a Pyle Bluetooth amp with mic inputs etc. exact same board and coil. Looks like a Chinese basic about board being used across multiple different amps. At least Pyles ratings were more conservative at 150x2 at 4 ohms lol.
OMG big D. At a glance I thought this was a Crown amp and was really looking forward to it but dang where's the beef? I liked that first song on sound test. 😁 Would you say Crown is a good budget buy for separate amps for home theater???
Rockville RPM870 mixer amp is very popular. "500 x 2 RMS @ 8 ohms and 750 x 2 RMS @ 4 ohms." Sure does not sound like it in person. Have you ever tested this unit?
Do a crown xli 3500 It weighs 50 lb and puts out 2,700 watts at 8 ohms. Or maybe peavey ipr2 7500. Claiming to put out 47500 watt at 2ohm. That would be interesting. Myself I chose the crown over the peavey.
@@wal If your home/shop has sufficient power you can use a 60Hz test tone and hook a bunch of toaster ovens up to the output for ballast. A new rating of toaster ovens per channel is thus achieved! 😀 Funny story with 60Hz sine tones, many years ago I used my HiFonics Zeus Series 7 to power a circular saw and was able to cut studs as easily as if I had a generator. Even used TECHMASTER PEB "bassgasm" as a source. Lots of notes below 60Hz and the saw's motor brushes didn't like that too much and the amp went into protect a few times but no harm done. My side hurt from laughing so hard that day and the day after!
I would love to see any of the higher wattage CVR-D Dyno Tested. They got stupid Bridge Power Output Claims, just curious to see how credible they are. But in any case, thanks for the video.
I bought a Rockville RPA9 for an additional amp to run a subwoofer. My primary amp is a Mitsubishi MVR1000 running a couple of RTR Towers with 15s. The line signal was too weak so I bought a Bellari PA550 pre amp for the Rockville. It's working good and bumping my 15 inch NVX subwoofer in a homemade 2.6 cu ft slot ported box.
Really wanna see QSC on the dyno. Worked for a theatre some years back, and when they remodeled they let me keep 12 different QSC amps, as long as I removed them (bc they were very heavy, like 50lbs a piece).
The RMX series have linear power supplies and weigh a ton! The powerlites are SMPS, super lightweight but not on power! A powerlite9 will dim the lights on the block providing it doesn't trip your main breaker first! ;-) Both will deliver rated power seven days a week for years.
I am new to the car audio game. I do learn to not trust the specs on what I see or on the box. That said I think i did okay when i purchased my amp and my subwoofers. I have a boss 1500 watt monoblock amp pushing two rockford fosgate r1s4 that are 10s and i think in a ported box. I've got pretty good bump with what I have just wondering if I need to tweak anything.
The eBay site you showed had 250 units sold. I wonder how many got returned. It didn’t sound bad on the elacs but it doesn’t even push the 100w you get on a cheap av receiver you get for the same price. I actually thought it would push around 150 max but I didn’t expecting to be 50 watts per channnel.
Big D.... I'd love to see a crown amplifier please!! They are highly rated in pro audio and we need the truth. I have a xli3500 and xli2500 in my home system and it really does well
Hey i will like to buy this amplifier i wanna use it for 2 subwoofers in 2 ohm, what do you think about this model the t.amp TSA 2200? Thank you sow much in advance!
Please review the chineese Karaoke amplifiers from a”Amazon. They are 2 channel amp with high power rating. I like the one that has a pro audio look with the handle to slide in and out a rack.
So I noticed the driver stages. And if it meets 0.005 distortion at 50 watt then it would be considered some kind of pro. I've been wanting you to do something for along time. I want to see a distortion meter added. And get the power ratings at 0.005 distortion and see who came out on top

There are plenty of higher quality options in that true power range for under $200. A quick look at Crutchfield will provide a couple. I run a Niles SI 245 for the bookshelf speakers in my garage and it does 45 watts per channel into 8 ohms while being cleaner and slimmer. I paid $40 for mine and they are plenty on ebay for under $100. Keep up the variety Big D 👍
Would love to see vintage power amps from the 70's dyno'd. It would be nice to see how the power is rated back then. Especially on a nice amp (interesting look) like the legendary Mitsubishi Da-a15 DC power amp.
Oh man I tested some Proton and NAD from the 80’s. 70’s stuff might need to be looked over first as these power output tests are brutal on the amp
Do you think one of the crown 1500 amplifiers would power 2 of the skar 18s that you recently reviewed in a live sound scenario? I would be feeding it with a mixer with proper filters. Just looking for a more bang for buck option than the very expensive options of pa subwoofers on the market.
awesome video.. hope to see some more pro audio stuff.. like the behringer ep2000 or ep4000..
especially since i own one of each lol. also my buddy has a crown pro amp that has rca inputs, and qsc has amps available with rca inputs as well
Someone installed it, realized their mistake and sent it back. Reminds me of when Fry’s Electronics would re-shelf used and blown items claiming they were brand new
I love your channel man. Great content keep up the good work
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just mind blowing for me seeing these tests and results you get.
The perspective from a old guy that had car stereo in the 90s 😁
Really cool to see that my favourite amps Phoenix Gold from that area are collectable. Think the smaller was a 275, and the one for the subwoofers had twice the power.
😬👍
I remember seeing catalogs of this company's wares in the early 2000s, might still have it. Anyways, the catalog was very well done as far as giving a good impression.
👌😬👍
Hey dereck
Would be great if you could test the chinese amp sinbosen k4-450 or k4-600
Just recently got ahold of there 21 frequency equalizer with LED display. And a LED power output display. I think it would be very cool if you did some videos on graphic displays that are available these days for home stereos since there are so many. I have yet to hook mine up
This is EXACTLY why I bought my crown XLi amplifiers. They are super powerful, under rated, over performing pro amps, and with mega dynamic power in reserve, your dyno proves that!
XLi 3500 powering 2 parts express UM18-22's and another XLi 1500 powering 2 JBL GTI 1500 old school subs. My house foundation is in danger, lol!
Awesome 👏
wow, would NOT have thought THAT bad
I just tore down a Pyle Bluetooth amp with mic inputs etc. exact same board and coil. Looks like a Chinese basic about board being used across multiple different amps. At least Pyles ratings were more conservative at 150x2 at 4 ohms lol.
OMG big D. At a glance I thought this was a Crown amp and was really looking forward to it but dang where's the beef? I liked that first song on sound test. 😁 Would you say Crown is a good budget buy for separate amps for home theater???
Sure
Rockville RPM870 mixer amp is very popular. "500 x 2 RMS @ 8 ohms and 750 x 2 RMS @ 4 ohms." Sure does not sound like it in person. Have you ever tested this unit?
Thanks for sharing D. I'm sticking to my name brand amps like QSC, Crown, Mackie, etc.
Do a crown xli 3500 It weighs 50 lb and puts out 2,700 watts at 8 ohms. Or maybe peavey ipr2 7500. Claiming to put out 47500 watt at 2ohm. That would be interesting. Myself I chose the crown over the peavey.
I can’t test amps that powerful at this time. Amp Dyno has limits of 5000W at 4 ohms
*4750W @ 2ohm
@@elektrocat8681 Yes that's what I meant thanks for the correction I got a little keyboard happy you know how it goes
@@wal If your home/shop has sufficient power you can use a 60Hz test tone and hook a bunch of toaster ovens up to the output for ballast. A new rating of toaster ovens per channel is thus achieved! 😀 Funny story with 60Hz sine tones, many years ago I used my HiFonics Zeus Series 7 to power a circular saw and was able to cut studs as easily as if I had a generator. Even used TECHMASTER PEB "bassgasm" as a source. Lots of notes below 60Hz and the saw's motor brushes didn't like that too much and the amp went into protect a few times but no harm done. My side hurt from laughing so hard that day and the day after!
@@wal but could you test the xli 3500 for me please. I know you already test the xli 1500
Awesome video!
And yup I’m here for the entertainment!
Thank you for the review.. On a positive note, it could double as an air purifier/dust filter as it plays music with them stylish foam grilles😄
I would still love to have a copy of that guy doing the sine wave dance to show my students in electrical class lmao :) thanks as always bud!
Please send me an email WillistonAudio (at) Gmail dot com. I’m sorry if you asked before and I forgot
@@wal no worries bro! you're a busy man!! thanks for all the hard work you do making these great videos! e-mail sent brother!
Loving the content.half empty and the beef has run off lol.
Could you test the Budget Amps Form Thomann? Like the tamp e400,e800 Or TSA Or TA Series
Thanks for the suggestion 👌
The guts reveal was hilarious!
I would love to see any of the higher wattage CVR-D Dyno Tested. They got stupid Bridge Power Output Claims, just curious to see how credible they are. But in any case, thanks for the video.
We Need more pro Audio amp dynos. And that Entertainment 😉
I bought a Rockville RPA9 for an additional amp to run a subwoofer. My primary amp is a Mitsubishi MVR1000 running a couple of RTR Towers with 15s. The line signal was too weak so I bought a Bellari PA550 pre amp for the Rockville. It's working good and bumping my 15 inch NVX subwoofer in a homemade 2.6 cu ft slot ported box.
😬👍
🤣🤣 Well, kinda expected that... but was fun to watch!
Hi sir, can you please do a LOT more pro-amp testing? I'll like to see those Sinbosen Labgruppen and Powersoft clone amps tested.
Made those elacs bounce and sound good.
👌😬👍
Why don't you test the taramps TS2000X4 an the 5K taramps. please thank you for all your knowledge about amplifiers keep it up
Really wanna see QSC on the dyno. Worked for a theatre some years back, and when they remodeled they let me keep 12 different QSC amps, as long as I removed them (bc they were very heavy, like 50lbs a piece).
QSC makes excellent gear.
The RMX series have linear power supplies and weigh a ton! The powerlites are SMPS, super lightweight but not on power! A powerlite9 will dim the lights on the block providing it doesn't trip your main breaker first! ;-) Both will deliver rated power seven days a week for years.
@@cpufrost I run plx 3602's and they are nuts.
@@druskoprecisionsound6250 indeed they are!
I was looking for someone to mention QSC... amazing amps! I have a 22 yr-old cx254 and it's truly amazing.
I am new to the car audio game. I do learn to not trust the specs on what I see or on the box. That said I think i did okay when i purchased my amp and my subwoofers. I have a boss 1500 watt monoblock amp pushing two rockford fosgate r1s4 that are 10s and i think in a ported box. I've got pretty good bump with what I have just wondering if I need to tweak anything.
The eBay site you showed had 250 units sold. I wonder how many got returned. It didn’t sound bad on the elacs but it doesn’t even push the 100w you get on a cheap av receiver you get for the same price. I actually thought it would push around 150 max but I didn’t expecting to be 50 watts per channnel.
I like this review series 😆 more videos bro
Exelente revisión, la verdad que lo que se está comprando es el gabinete, saludos👋
love these videos has a home audio user ...should do more avr's and power amps ...def some of the budget ones with big claims :p
In the plans for sure
You might try those Yamaha X1 Amp that I've seen everywhere. Not sure about that but it is rated at 350W and it's a 1U form factor at its about ±$100.
Big D.... I'd love to see a crown amplifier please!! They are highly rated in pro audio and we need the truth. I have a xli3500 and xli2500 in my home system and it really does well

One step up from a Chinese mini chip amp.
Woof 🐶
Chip off the new block
I saw this amp and I’m so glad I purchased my Crown amp instead.
Hey i will like to buy this amplifier i wanna use it for 2 subwoofers in 2 ohm, what do you think about this model the t.amp TSA 2200? Thank you sow much in advance!
Never realized your amp dyno power button is upside down. What turns on by flipping down a switch?
Technical pro looks like they make some really good 15” and 18” pa sub drivers
For as long as I can remember, I have been looking up transistors in amp's via their model numbers. I will believe that before the wattage on the box
How did it sound in person, didn’t sound to good to me, but with TH-cam compression, mic, my speaker that doesn’t mean much.
Please review the chineese Karaoke amplifiers from a”Amazon. They are 2 channel amp with high power rating. I like the one that has a pro audio look with the handle to slide in and out a rack.
So I noticed the driver stages. And if it meets 0.005 distortion at 50 watt then it would be considered some kind of pro. I've been wanting you to do something for along time. I want to see a distortion meter added. And get the power ratings at 0.005 distortion and see who came out on top
Ive always wondered about this amp!!!
