    If you remember, back in December, i received a D'Amore Engineering 1500.4 Amplifier (the $8600 Christmas Gift). After playing with it, i fell in love with it. I decided to run these in my Escalade the moment i heard it. Even though it is a Hi Res SQ amplifier, it still has the capability to give me what i still need, and that is LOUD. I decided i wanted to run 2 1500.2 Amps on my subwoofers (not yet chosen) so i ordered those up. Upon thinking about it some more, 4 channels is not enough for my front stage. Plenty of power, just not enough channels. So i ordered a 2nd 1500.4 amp. Now i will have 8 channels for my front stage. Perfect! After waiting a few months, i just received my production units! I can't wait to get started. The shop is super busy and i have a million things to do, but i know i want to do this bad! It is long overdue!

      Finding buyers for those type of amps won't be hard once they know what they're hearing....

    This video has been one of the coolest, most informative, car audio videos, I've seen. All of the ups and emotions in this video. My heart is literally racing after watching this. I cannot imagine what it was like to open that box and see one of those amps. Let alone, pull the cover off of it. LET ALONE, video call with the engineer, and hear his KICK ASS story about going in buddy's man cave, and watch him tweak all of his resistors. Jesus man, what a cool ass video. It really gives me an appreciation for quality/handmade amps. Headed out to the garage now, to tinker with my car audio. Killer vid man! Props!

    It's funny that he brings up Japan. I've lived in Japan for the past 8 years. They are REALLY big on sound quality here.

    I can't even begin to explain how blown away I am about these amps. I can only imagine what your car's gonna sound like with those beauties, Steve. 😍👌 Tony really knocked it out of the park.

    Wow! These amps are truly in a class of their own. D amore really went above and beyond in creating these amps, I mean going to Japan to do a 40 hour tuning session says alot

    • @meade916
      @meade916  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      and that guy doing it turning the knobs listening for "emotion" ...deciding which parts to use based off of that LOL. Crazy.

      own 2 I was dubious they beat pretty much every other car amp made not dagistono but high level home amp sound in a car I own audiowave mcc602tm venti mpz even revelation audio phass you name it I own and played them all the damore is only rivaled in solid state by audiowave cr series if that they are worth every penny and I was nit a fan of damore before I am now but as Tony said Japanese here not California Arizona types too ignorant

  • @chkntndy7727
    @chkntndy7727 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Is the man himself repping a 1320 shirt? I thought he was a god in audio, but this man also likes them horsepowers too 👍👍

  • @avrajsamra4548
    @avrajsamra4548 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Its true about Japan being very SQ oriented, my alpine 3566 which was made in japan sounds off the charts good, may not be a power monster but it just sounds super clean, new alpine doesn’t even compare to it. I bet these D’Amore amps will sound badass. Lots of clean power!

    Truly works of art. I know I’ll never be able to afford those, but enjoy the great sound they will produce. I’m am lucky enough to have two old school A/D/S PH15 6 channels that will be in a build I’m planning on in the future. Again enjoy brother.

    @BASSN SANE - first of all, LOL!!! please!!! You ain't ever even been in the same state as one of these amps. Oh and even if it was true, which it ain't, nobody in their right mind would run that power acoustik flea market shit over these. Too funny though. Bummer i have to delete your comment with your link in it. You acting thirsty for attention just got you banned.

    @Cash4Woody 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really nice amps, but I was confused, when he advertised for the green caps, but don't even know whats behind? So just buy them, because the seller says, they are expensive and made for high end audio? Thats little strange.

    • @meade916
      @meade916  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      he didn't "advertise" anything. Would you rather he made up some story for you? He is saying it is the best there is. The caps are made for high end car audio. He explained a little of why it is better but, bro settle down. It's just a cap. I swear some of you make the biggest deal out of the dumbest shit. There is NOBODY better than Tony D so if he says it is the best that is all you need to know.
