I am digging the change up on video content.. Nothing but love for Parker The Bass Head.. Nothing but super growth from here for your channel.. Big Jeff is proud to be apart of your platform.
I have never missed a Sunday video and look forward to each coming Sunday.
Thank you Big Jeff!
Thanks to the pair of ya... lovin it RESPECT!🔊🔊🔊
@@ParkerTheBassheadwould be nice to see both the new taramps wired up Parker... please🙏 😊🔊🔊
Watch both of you, great content thanks for your contributions. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
@@ParkerTheBasshead.you have 8k you wanna sell like big boss smart or.md or anything don't half be taramp either ....also wanna sell that big boss 3k ... I need 8k bad ..
Its not about "quality" of these amps, its about the performance and durabilty. They are pretty much bulletproof. Ive blown several subs just messing around and the amp is just fine. They made sure to give it safe guards. Yeah, they could make the build quality more solid and use higher end components such as the style of rca and the fans, but the technology in these amps is actually ahead of most of the competition, especially at the price point. 💯💯
Facts if you run the amp properly they are everyone loves to talk about how they blow but it’s the same people that try to run them off a stock 120 amp alt w 4g wire. People with proper electrical they last years. I kept my 3k for 2 years pushing my old vxfs sold it to a guy still using it today. Definitely a great budget amp.
Have you not seen like 3 of his taramps he blew in the past? Pretty sure at least 2 of them were because the protection circuits didn't work like they should. I'm not buying an expensive amp just for it to blow when I accidentally touch the wire to the battery or whatever.
Only People that don’t have sufficient electrical talk bad about these amps
@@bailey2517parker be destroying shit and its his fault like the dc sub and the 275 deaf bonce 12
@@bailey2517Parker has great electrical too usually it stays up pretty damn good I mean he uses a 12k for damn sake
it's super easy to replace the fans in these with quieter ones. Took me about 10 min for the old 8k . Noctua NF-A 4 x 20 FLX is the model if anyone s interested.
Thank you I appreciate the information!!!
I bought those for my Smart 5. I didnt use them because they werent moving close to the same amount of air, so I was worried they wouldnt be enough to cool the amp. So a bunch of people are using them without issue?
Is that a 3 pin or 4pin ?
It looks bigger and beefier because it is just a bigger amp, it's whatever sized taramps that will make 8k at 2 ohm it just has a regulated power supply that cuts voltage below 2 ohm so it stays at 8k, it's probably similar to a md12k or bit bigger. Fortunately it's priced similar to normal 8k's so it's a good deal.
The price point is the best thing about it like u can't beat it because a regular 12 or 15k from taramps is way and maybe performs the same
The thing is when you get up into this kind of power you really don't care about fan noise because when the music is on (mine always is) you can't hear them. And I have extra fans on my amps
Fair enough!
Yeah on my smart 5s I don't notice my fans at all!
I don't know...the impact of the sound is the sudden drop, that deep blackness before an earth opening feeling, the quieter the moment...the more impact that weight has
Plus if you normally have a wall there normally in the back of the car or truck out the way and away from ear shit but if they are in a cab with a simple box build and the amps are close it can get super annoying for sure.. they need the fans and better for em than for not I reckon.. bit to toasty otherwise🔥🔊
Im lucky that I got good selective hearing so as long as its constant I don't seem to be bothered by it, I don't run taramps anymore but never bothered me when I did and it was right behind me. Now I have a different amp and a blower fan thats loud AF and my music is alwayse bumping so not really a issue still. I would love to have one of these smart 8ks down the road as an overkill daily setup amp to power 2 nice 15s and have headroom to not clip or stress the amp out.
Nice video! Taramps are turning up the quality. Keep of the good work Parker!
Yessir!
I have someone I know who bought two of them,I can’t wait to see them in action
I bought the smart 8k the week it came out not knowing it had so many uprades over the previous smart amplifiers and man i dont regret my decision at all . I have 80ah yinlong and 270 high output alt and it sounds great on two 12in skar zvx
Same ! Its head and shoulders better than their old amps and actually sounds VERY good.
My car stereo journey…
Started with a down firing kicker 10, then 12, then Skar svr 10, then evl 12. At that point I was running a 3k amp and power became an issue. I am now back to 2 skar sdr 10s and a 1200 watt amp with the big 3 and an AGM.
I want the most bass possible for the cheapest amount without having to add an extra battery or high output alternator. So I found the best route was the skar sdr 10s with skar 1200.1D amp kicker line output converter, skar 0 gauge OFC wiring kit with 320 amp fuse, and big 3. Total cost on Amazon was around $500.
Thanks for the video!
Would love to see a DB comparison using both Smart 8s vs the Bead Bonce 20k
Me Too
@ericwarnock704- The (1)- Bass Smart 8k, wired @ 1/2 ohm, and rising to 1.5 ohms= 3x impedance rise= approx. 8+ k after rise. Because this Bass Series is designed to make great power between 1/2 ohm to 2 ohm. If parker were to hook up both= (2)- Bass Smart 8k's, each @ 1 ohm, they would see the same 3x impedance rise= 3 ohm power, per 8k= approx. 6,350 watts per amp, so x 2= approx. 12,700 wats total after rise. Because these Bass Smart 8ks do approx. 4,600 @ 4 ohms(as seen on an amp dyno), and around 8,100 @ 2 ohms, so in the middle= 3 ohms= approx. 6,350 per Bass Smart 8k. To get the maximum benefit/power from these (2)- Smart Bass 8ks, they would have to be wired @ 1/2 ohm each. But testing both Smart Bass 8ks, vs the Deaf Bonce Aak 20,000.1 would be great to see.
Noctua makes a quite fan that fits in these amps that works really good.
Now you get to do a great comparison with hooking both those taramps smart eight thousands up and then comparing them to the 20 k and see what up
Hey Parker if you haven't heard already, two guys starting up the old u.s. amps company and redesigning and configurations and want guys to test out their product. They haven't finished putting out a demo version yet but they're getting close to it. They were talking some very good specifics and some very good points about running stereo one ohm and the bass amps being able to produce down to 1/4 ohm
🤣😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
What kind what voltage am looking at running around quarter ohm .25 mabe but am pretty sure I will tho
10k watts in real time music is nuts! Awesome video Parker! A banger video for sure! 💯💯🔥🔥
Taramps getting a little better. Great video Parker!
Heck yeah Parker! Was waiting for someone to do this.
Almost 10k!? Wow... I'm running a smart 5k on a nsv4 18, I like it...
Great video Parker 👍
Thank you!!
its good at the price, if you look at all the other amps with what they got and taramps implement it, the price for the taramps will go wayyyyyyyyy up. I love it how it is
Those smart bass 8ks have rail capacitors so it makes it to were you really cannot clip the amp or it will limit the amount of power you can put out the amp so it's almost impossible to blow it.
I like watching your videos before I got into bass meets. Now that I'm in bass meets and know what to expect, these systems are still WILD to hear!!!!
FINALLY HAS A DEDICATED GAIN KNOB!!! That’s the selling point for me.
I bought a smart 3k taramp and used it once I removed my JL Audio Smart Amp 1500.1. Granted the Taramp is double the JL but holy fuck! The power Taramp puts out is fuckin insane. I’ve used a 2500 and a 3000 amp before and my Taramp blows them away like they never existed. Taramp is my new amp selection for all my audio builds.
When the baseline for that Young Dolph (rip) track hit, your dashboard was dooin the fuckin Macarena. She beat bruh, like Joe Jackson.
I got a regular smart 8k and I'm loving it!!!
The regular is actually better. Clamps more power. Higher rail voltage
Nice! Loving this one so far
Me 2
These new amps are defo a step up for sure.. and loving the content Parker, bless up!🔊🔊🔊🔥👌🙂
The .5 to 2 ohms definitely helps with box rise. I use the smart bass 3k , 1 to each D1 avatar 12. Sounds great.
What do you use for electrical in that setup?
@@notsure984 I just bought the smart 8 bass. I have a Singer 290 amp alternator, 72ah plannano, and an xspower sb500 supercap. All dual 1/0 runs throughout the car. 2/0 dual runs from plannano LTO bank to the amp. I also have the deaf bonce MFA 180.4.
@@grady.stu.8300 is that working pretty well? Some folks say half bridge is tje way to go. But are these Taramps smart 8 bass amps just as good I wonder? I am kind of aiming for a similar setup but mabe either 40ah or 80ah on the battery. I like those JP40s.
Also I will be running a kicker 12 solox and that 8k should be not breaking a sweat while providing some serious power to that sub. Thats my theory anyways.
@@william1252 Sorry for the late response. The snart 8 bass went out on me after 5 days. Really strong smell and just shut off. Not sure what happened. The 2 3ks did just fine for 4 months. Well the fans went out in one. Lol. I put a 3k back in and all good. Definitely the amp. Works well for a lot of people but guess mine was a dud. My preouts are set to 2.5v and i charge at 15.7v. very disappointed cause the 8k sounded awesome. Im going back to half bridge. Cant risk my other equipment. I bought the smart 8 bass from Amazon so who knows, something could've happened in shipping. The amp has no protection. Only came in the taramps box. Thats it
Got 11k on music with my Smart8. 2.2ohm with box rise. Amazing technology inside there smart line up!!!!
On a term lab?
Thanks for making this video. Looking forward to saving up for a Taramp like that. 👍
For around 600 bucks for a 8k you can’t beat it!
Not at all!
@@ParkerTheBassheadhey Parker what was your voltage charging to during these test?
another great video from Parker the basshead keep them coming my brother and congratulations again on the 100K
Your stereo did great at the Sundown shows how do we enter to get a free subwoofer?
Just gotta be subscribed to the channel and like my Facebook page! I’ll be posting details on the facebooks ok page soon
Thanks a lot for this review! Now I can't wait to step it up from my Smart 3 over to Smart 8
I've got a Bass 3k in my Taurus. So far been a good amp. It's my cheap build, but hits.
Yeah I had the bass 3 good amp to had to get the 8 needed more!
@@got2getit204 I'm just running 3 skar 8s. So it has way more power than I need. But always room to grow if I want too.
That sweep tho 🤯 14:40
Keep up the good work but can you do a review on a nemisis 10 inch subwoffer
I really don’t get the “Tiffany style RCA” complaint that all of the TH-camrs throw at any of the amps that dont have them. I have 3 of the bass8ks in my demo build and I’ve daily driven it for over 2 years now with zero amp issues and Dec no rca issues. I’ve had amps with them and notice no difference at all, hell I even had an rca break off in a Tiffany before and had to push it out from the inside. But I always just plug them in and that’s that. Never understood why people care so much. It’s part of what keeps the cost so affordable through taramps and it’s IMO a perfect trade off for something so un noticeable and negligible to most, such as the rca inputs, and tuning knobs. 💁🏼♂️ but good review as always man! No hate intended either man, just felt the need to finally say something lol.
You are right bud bump my 8k daily no issues with rca they don’t fall out or move unless I move them!
Thank you for the videos 👍🔊🔊
I've been watching for quite a while now and I don't recall seeing you put any sound deadening in the sequoia, I might be wrong. I think that Deaf Bonce makes some so, hint hint 😉 Maybe a sound deadening video?
Love the channel brother and keep it loud 👍🔊🔊
Yeah whole car is sound deadened. Did it like 2 years ago
The smart line of taramps is the only line I think is worth the $. I have a mix of spl and sq. I swap subs and amps out for competition. So I've got 2 smart5's and 2 synergy wfo 3ks. People say they can't tell the difference and to that I'll say depends on your build
I love that new Taramps smart 8k amplifier. I wish I had 1 of those amps.
😅😅😅😅 nah nah to bad because I got one but naw just kidding you can start with the bass 5k or even the bass 3k and still hit hard!
Next vid hook both of those Taramps smart 8k amps up to your subwoofers💯👍
I'm happy with my smart 3 bass. Just make sure to keep the RCA voltage under 2 volts. Great amp for the price.
1.8V to be precise according to Taramps
That's not a thing anymore, all smart line amps are rated for RCA input voltage of 4v-.2v..
@@chiefjuice1 seemed like it still was with mine. Had to turn down my Audiocontrol LOC, or else my amp would turn off and turn on. Went away when I lowered the RCA voltage.
@@JR-yr8xm you shouldn't need a LOC at all unless you have a factory HU..if you were able to test the preout voltage coming out of the audio control it was probably much higher than 4v before
@@chiefjuice1 Yes sir. Stock HU. I'll have to check the voltage with a multimeter.
i have the smart 5 bass its does pretty good power right at 5k on music , never gets hot . the smart is the future!
Congratulations on the 100k🤝🏾🏆
Thank you!!!
For competition and very very good electrical I think this amp might be worth it all
Time for an insane build in the truck lol! Very cool can’t wait for more and definitely go for another fun budget build and blowing up cheap subs on that taramps because that 20k is to damn sexy and would blow up subs in seconds lol
Great video, I’ll coin up for a smart 5 that’s all I need as a step up from my smart 3. Great so far.
I just picked up the deaf bonce mfa 4.180 and it is very clean sounding and loud.
Audio show Roanoke Va next Saturday at the Berglund Center.
If you want that classic Bang and Olufsen sound from the 2000s and late 1990s, get some mid end or decent budget SQ speakers like the Kenwood Excelon series and power them with teramps.
I'm not a big fan of taramps but after your review and seeing them on your Channel it's obvious they'll do the job
Man I can’t tell you how they really do the job hook it up as directed and you will be proud very proud people throw they hands up and breaking there necks i be beating so hard and what’s so crazy is I just bought the bass 3k and was beating hard af so I just went 8k! And they run very good with know issues!
amplified beast 🔥💪
Completely new to taramps stuff bought their 400 mono because it was cheap and I needed something to power my jl audio 10v1 sub it works awesome now I want to go bigger lol thinking 800-1000 watt range and a retire my 15 year old jl audio lol.
Wow that’s impressive. I have the smart 3 bass and I love it. Would love to upgrade to one of the big boys some day.
Make sure to get a high output alternator at least a 370 no less then 320 and some lithium ain’t no way around it because I went from the bass 3k to the bass 8k instantly I realized I was about to be outta another 400$ for one and my lithium is on the way!
so do these amps tell you the rms or peak, because im only seeing one wattage value.
@@reepzthereaper9496 they are 8k watts I’m not understanding?
@@got2getit204 Im usually buying cheaper amps and they all tell you the rms and peak for example 600w rms 1200w peak. Is it just a standard for better amps to only tell you the rms value?
@@reepzthereaper9496These amps are rated by RMS power. In this video, parker is testing this amps power with the Amm-1. Towards the end of this video, parker sets the Amm-1, to Dyno power= RMS power, to clipping.
Love the videos man keep it up. Its funny I just had 2 15 and a taramps smart 5k stolen a couple weeks ago and I've been dying to get another system was gonna go with the 8k taramps soon as I get the extra money but it looks like its gonna be awhile 😢😢 I can't stand when people steal
Awww man Parker if you ever wanna sell one of those smart 8 bass please let me know I'll definitely buy one off you!! ❤
KnuConceptz dual 1/0 inputs are made just for Taramps. KnuConceptz also has dual 1/0 to 4ga. inputs made for Taramps.
What the voltage ⚡️ on these amps?
If you're looking for cheap power you can't beat Taramps!!! I have 320 amp alternator 50ah lithium 2 AGMs and 2 Taramps HD3000s on 2 12inch subs!
Definitely one of your better videos bro. Thanks!
My taramp smart bass 8k arrived broke in a corner .
Amazon conductor slam the items,and now can't return it.
Always a good deal for the working man!
I have the Smart 8k on 2-15" SSA Evils 3500wrms each in a 6th order bandpass Cpillar in my Explorer xlt. Ooof!!
I think if you fiberglass the out side of the vehicle it will improve db
I really need Taramps to do me a deal on those amps! Building a brand new show build in a VW ID Buzz with 8x12’s and they’d be perfect for me!
Do that amp have damping
Never tried taramps, but may have to give em try in my project
You won’t regret it start with the 5k
Interesting that you couldn’t get them to clip! Might need to get a smart 3 bass for myself
I am suggesting that if he was monitoring clipping from the cliplight then it could be that the light doesnt respond to this amp and that he should use the included monitor with the knob and re test. Its only a suggestion. I found it odd that he was unable to "clip"
@@puck1751 what was interesting as well though is that the Steve Meade meter also showed no clipping.
Yeah I thought so too
I HAVE A QUESTION, THAT'S A SMART 8K WITH (1 INPUT) AND (1 OUTPUT) RCA CONNECTORS,WHY IS THERE ONE SET OF RCA CONNECTORS PULLED IN THE AMPLIFIER WHEN YOU NEED A 1-Male to 2-female splitter to use those types of amplifier?
Awesome Parker.
Thank you!
Bass series does rated power from 14.5 to 16volt the MD series do rated power from 12 to 16 volt
Use a multi tool (oscillating tool) and trim off the plastic bump out. Then your duels will fit👍
Is it just me or does Parker seem really tired during this video? Still an amazing video!!! Always love the uploads
🔥
Dyno the 4000.4 1ohm 4 channel. I have one, and it's deafening.
I got mines on june 21 when they released them an been loving it got my 3zvx 12s hitting hard
Do you have the bass series
@@jovanjones4486 no just the reg smart 8
@@jovanjones4486 I got the bass 8k I like it better because of sound quality plus you can wire it to 0.5 to 1 ohm and still get 8k with the bass series and it’s cheaper! But can’t go wrong with either or just a personal preference!
my only issue with taramps owned 2 now a smart bass3k and a smart bass 5k i have stock electrical and stock head unit and she is super power hungry i have big 3 upgraded grounds all that second battery and she runs for so long then boom protect... had to turn down the gain to acomidate it same with 3k nothing in system changed just happened over time. slowly started cutting out i am running dual power and ground to mine to maybe help see i charge at 14.7 so dunno
would be kool to do db test with the 20k then the 2 smart 8ks also to see the ohm rise on the differnce maybe from the the old 8k to the smart 8k also sence they sapost to do same power at 2ohm if there a way to wire both amps to 2ohms to see if they do same power and see if it sounds better its nice there sapost to be 1/2 to 2 ohm for same power that gives peoples lots of options i actually am trying something differnt i bought a ds18 8k 2ohm model and running 4 2000rms 12in wolframs duel 4ohm at 2ohm and im saprized
He would definitely have more power with the 2 smart 8s. The aak 20000 is rated at 18 v.
16000@16v (1ohm)
12000@14.4 (1ohm)
8000@14.4 (2ohm)
5000@14.4 (2ohm)
I love taramps i have four of the md 12000s still running 6 agms and a stock alt still making a lot of power i will upgrade to lithium soon but as long as you use the clipping indicators on these amps they will last
I have 2 15 inch subs and both are 3000 watts rms should i get this 8k amp?
I fit 2/0 XL SHCA wire into my 2 Taramps Bass 8Ks as shown on my car audio TH-cam channel Low Hertz High SPL
Yes you need more amps with the set up you running . Definitely gonna be huge increase in power over the one 20k at half ohm
Hell the 20k might not even be enough. 8 3k drivers so 24k just to put rated power to them. Those 4" coils need about 5-6k each just to really move them.
@@kyletimmins7331 oh I know that’s why I said 2 of the smart 8s would be an increase for sure .
@@Basshertz94 oh yeah it would be a good increase. Bass 30k @ .5 ohm or even 2 DC Pitbull 20ks.
@@kyletimmins7331 most likely it’s gonna be more marts amp
@@Basshertz94 well hopefully he learned not to push it this time. Marts and any other Sound digital board amp is not made to handle it as well as Taramps and Banda.
Definitely Looking Into Taramps For When My Digital Designs M5 Dies... If It Ever Dies hahah Its Been 5 Years In My Daily Driver And I Bought It Used. Longest Lasting Amp Ive Ever Owned. I Have A Taramps 2k 4 Channel And Its Great. Ive Had It For About 2 Years, Only Issue I Have With That One Is It Doesn't Turn On When Its 40F Or Lower. I Contacted Taramps And They Blew Me Off And Said The Amp Was Physically Freezing The Contacts Inside. My DD M5 Works 40F And Below. I Think Its A Glitch With Their Thermal Protection. Anyway I Run My Subs At 0.5Ohm But Id Like To Series Parrallel Them To 2 Ohm For Better Efficiency/ Stronger Motor Force So That Way Its Less Strain On My Electrical. Right Now Its Hard To Keep the Voltage Up Full Tilt And I Have 2 Mechman 320 Amp Each On A Seperate 6 Rib Belt. The 8 Banks Of Ultra Caps Help With The Hits And Burps But Once They Are Drained From Contstant Tones Its Iffy. My Lower Tuning Port Also Rises My Impedance From 0.5 Ohms To Around 6 Ohms Which Is Kind Of Nice Becasue It Hardly Takes Any Power From Amp And Electical Yet The Bass Goes Nuts On Like 3000 Watts hahah.
Has anyone here ever heard of a rotary subwoofer? I just found out about these. They can go as low as 1hz that's insane. I'd love to see content on one of these.
LOVE TARAMPS 4 LIFE !
Have a question I have a smart 8k what size fuse do I use for the front or should I put more then more then one fuse let me know please I have a mechman 320 alternator and sky High 0 gage big 3 agm in front and in back let me what you think what fuse I should use let me know please Tha ks
What kind of alternator and battery's
Hey can you test the big boss 8 on them subs I seen you test it on the 2 subs but I want to see what it will do on the avatar 15s
I would love to see you test Wolfram products
U should dyno the deaf bounce AAP-2100.1D Atom Plus
I'd love to see a review on a smaller sub like the American bass hd 8, you did the 12 so I'd love to see the 8 as I have a hd8 and you can't find very much on the 8s.
Great video man, for the next video run both 8 smart bass just to see what you can get.
Sincerely BudgetAudioWithJ
Can I buy a after market bass knob to work with the amp? I heard I could use a RCA bass knob?
question ??? how high do you have the amp gain set??? ( half or 10 o'clock or higher or lower) thanks
@parker the basshead did u hear the amp pulling back the power when u tried to clip it was the draw back audible?
Mine will be on its way soon!
Would 2 12s vxf wired to 1 ohm handle this?
So how come these amps only show the rms? I'm worried about the peak because i blew a sub with an amp that had too high of a peak
Will the new bass knob fit/work on smart 3k
Powerus,Soundigital and stetsom are the best brazilian amps out nothing else
I still dnt know why my smart 5k only had one out put for the rcas I had to buy and connecter
