And half bridge for sure to answer your question. And I liked that little touch you added at the end! I’ve never seen anyone else do a certificate power rating card like that! Really sweet idea 😊 keep it up brotha !!
I have 6 of these amps in the CT line and they all do over their rated numbers with ease. Best thing to me is their simple clean looks and they are all the same size, just different lengths so they stack up really good together
Ct Sounds used to sell another brand of amplifier on their website, they packed the punch too. I can't remember the brand name now. It will come to me tonight when I am sleeping. Good video
Hi@@stereomojo I found out the other brand of amplifiers CT Sounds offered for sale, in the past. It was called Execution Audio, I actually owned an EA1000. Now these EA amps were real budget bangers
Wish someone would dyno brands like Audison. Just the entry level SR series. Very high end components at relatively reasonable prices. Best SQ I have heard after 35 years in car audio. They do show up on Amazon at very low prices from time to time. Really enjoy your videos.
Oh yeah, ive said it before but i love the channel. Love the southern accent as well. Love seeing these smaller to midsized power amps getting some dyno love.
A quick way to tell if an amplifier is full Bridge or half bridge is that only a half bridge is capable of being strapped to another amp. A full Bridge amplifier is basically two half bridges in the same chassis connected together.
CT sounds is a nice brand but it's a shame they got rid of there 18" compition subwoofers. I got Soundqubed S1-2250.1 amplifiers and there also very amazing. Those 12" EXO subwoofers look nice but why don't they sell the 18" EXO subwoofers 🤔
I know several people that run these amps wired 2. .5 half ohm on a daily basis and they have no issues besides getting a little warm but those people have fans on their aunt to keep them cool so no issues
Great video! The AT series amp are really nice amps. I had a AT1400.1V1 in the wife’s car and she loved it. I have a request if you’re wanting to do a 3K. The Rockville DBcomp4. There an older amp but I don’t think anyone ever did a dyno on one. I had the DBcomp5 and it wasn’t the most efficient amp but it was a beast.
I thought the D4S JP8 was the ONLY dependable D class amp capable of 0.5 ohm stability under 1K! Nice to see some competition; “Bring it on!”#D4S#JP8#🔊❤️🥊
Hello I've been watching your videos and they're very helpful. I'm learning a lot from you. I'm looking for a good amp . And my friend has Jc power R3200.1 amplifier. I was wondering would you be able to do a Dyno test? Been hearing a lot of good things about this amp 😎🙏💯🔊
Thank you for getting back to me the amplifier that I wanted to tryout it's on eBay. They have it in Merced California . But I was trying to find videos and there is really nothing on this amp .
Im confused on the 2 positive and 2 negative terminals, for speaker output. From the description in the user manual to wire 2 DVC 2ohm subs at a 2ohm load (parallel) it shows them with one positive and one negative terminal being used, (the far left and far right) would that mean the amp is trying to apply a 1ohm load to the subs? or should i have each sub with its OWN positive and negative terminal at the amp to get the 650w RMS load at 2 ohms? My question might sound confusing and i apologize for it.
@@stereomojo sorry I didn’t include that. They are 2ohm DVC. I’m running two of them in parallel to achieve a find impedance of 2ohms. I’m just confused as to how I know if they are being sent a 2ohm load or 1ohm load from the amp.
@@creativeoutlander3893 on each sub, you’ll need to run 1 positive around to the negative on the other side of the sub. This puts the 2 coils of each sub in series raising the ohm load for each sub to 4 ohms. Then, take the open positive and run it to one of the positives (don’t matter which one) on the amp. Run the open negative to one of the negatives (again, doesn’t matter which one) one the amp. Do the same thing to both subs. This will put the 2 subs in parallel, bringing the ohm load back down to 2 ohms. Don’t put all the positives together and all the negatives together or you’ll end up at .5 ohms. The amp won’t like that. You need to do a series/parallel configuration instead of a parallel/parallel configuration.
@@stereomojo according to the user manual for 2 DVC 2ohm subs that’s how I have it wired for a 2ohm load. I wish I could send a photo for reference lol. But I really do appreciate you taking the time to respond and give me advice. I just installed them last weekend and I don’t want to damage anything.
@@stereomojo you’ve been extremely helpful with all this. I sent you an email with the photos of the user manual for a clearer example as to how I wired them. I think I understand what you’re saying by the wiring.
Those CT line of amps are the same China boards as the scar and a few others, several companies brand the 1500s n 2ks. IMO the Skar rp line does pretty well but I would rather have the CT sounds Every Dyno or review video I've seen on them from the 700 to 3200w all did rated power certified and well beyond dynamically. Hard to beat the holiday deals on the 1500, 2k and 3200. The 3200 was 307$ that's a deal for 4k watt half bridge.
Please don't confuse people by saying these amps are the same as some other brand. They are not the same. When you look at the basic layout of the circuit board and it looks very similar to another brand that just means that they both copied their board from the same older amplifier design. That's all it means. There could still be large differences as far as the components used, the brand, the ratings, the thickness of the circuit board, the preamp section etc etc.
How many volts are those caps on to the left side the power input rail ? It tells us about the overall quality put into this thing. If you’d like to know more about caps I would gladly find some reading materials for you to get more familiarized with what’s what
The voltage of the input capacitors really doesn't tell you anything about the quality. They could be 16, 18 or 20 volt just as long as it's rated higher than the input voltage.
@@JasonWW2000 sure but when you see cheap over rated over compensating caps in the place where should lie a 16v input cap then that speaks a little bit about what the if any engineering was taken place at the time of construction or was this just another copy paste 30year old formula ?
@@onesikm3You don't need to look at the capacitors to know that. There's only a few amplifier brands out there that make original designs. CT sounds is definitely not designing their own amplifiers. This is definitely a clone amp.
@nickelgracing9313 Skar is another clone amp. Most of today's clone amps are copies of 20 year old designs. We get copies of copies. Sometimes the circuits are changed a little, like adding a clip light or some feature. I'm not complaining, some of the brands use good components and good build quality and you get a very inexpensive amp. The cheaper ones also have their place. There's a market for them.
I'm looking for a 4 channel full range to power 2 pair of Rockford Fosgate PUNCH 6"×9"s . I've been eyeballing the CT-80.4AB . My son runs that amp and it's a mini beast.
@@stereomojo yeah, the last I heard was the government was supposed raise the limit for duty and tax free customs charge from $50 to $150. But it's the government so we all know how their promises go

Wow, 6? That’s cool. Yes, I like the clean look of them as well.
VERY NICE AMPLIFIER. If CT Sounds would start building the EXO 18" subwoofers there would be many people running CT sounds at the sound compitions.
That would be cool for sure!
Been waiting for someone to dyno this amp. Great video 👍 🙏🏻

I believe this amp is made in Korea and the skar RPs are Chinese amps so the CT sounds amp is safer to run at lower ohm loads than a akar rp series.
Hey which recoil do you have still which model 4 channel is it ? Would you ship it to me in LA?
It’s the DI 800.4
Yes, I might. You should send me an email to stereomojo@yahoo.com

Can you do a CT sounds AT1400.1 I just bought one and I’m curious how it will dyno?
My 2000.1d smoked itself,worked perfectly dialing in the 7 mag though 👍🤞 ill never waste a penny on them again
My 3200 did as well
Before I watch the video I'm going to guess you get about 20% more power than what it's rated to do
Video starts at 11:30.
stinger 1000 or this ct sounds??
Oh boy, that’s a tough call!
Probably which ever is cheaper.
Think this can hit 2 15s 600 rms each 2000 watt max
I'd like to see you dyno a nakamichi nrod1500.1
Try Surge Audio amps. I love them
Those look real nice!
what does dynamic mean?
I have the 1500 but it goes in protect mode all the time, it's pretty annoying
Are you sure about your ohm load? I wonder if you’re wired at 1/2 ohm and don’t realize it.
@stereomojo it's a possibility, it's a single dual 2 at parallel. Can you tell me how it would be at 0.5?
