Not exactly a direct comparison, but I decided to try both amps to replace the non-working 75-watt amp on my Boston Acoustics CR400 subwoofer. The 300 watt Yung SD300 is actually the cheaper of the two amps, yet rated to be the most powerful. It is a Class D design and has an open back. Will this cause problems if mounted inside a subwoofer enclosure, due to vibration? Only time will tell.
I also purchased the Class A/B Dayton Audio SPA250 to try out. This amp is rated 252 watts at 4 ohms with less than 1% THD. This is a VERY popular plate amplifier on Parts Express with nearly 5 star average with well over 200 reviews.
You may be asking...why 250 or 300 watts to replace a 75 watt amp? Well, because I can? Honestly, I wanted to choose popular models and have flexibility to use them in different applications in the future. Plus, I thought you guys would want to see these models tested, so I did this for you!

Whats up with the 2ohm test to see if it can handle it
Nevermind you did it at the end
Yung is what rsl speedwoofer use
Can you test Speakerpower SP1-4000-HT?
How do these plate amps compare to a complete Dayton subwoofer? It might be better to buy a whole new sub.
The good and the bad about parts express.
The good - I live 10 minutes away from there.
The bad - I live 10 minutes away from there..I',m there all the time!
So jealous. My family would be in the red if we lived near PE. My gosh I would have speakers everywhere!
Sir Jammer 🤣🤣🤣
Love the review! Personally have the Dayton amp hooked up to a pair of 4ohm subs of mine. I Initially hooked them up in series, but tried them in parallel at 2ohms and the Dayton just pushes harder with no problems. May not be smart for the longevity of the amp, but is a testament to its quality. Keep it up wiz!
I have been WAITING for someone to do this... you da man BigDwiz
👌😬👍
“I don’t like hearing that bass!” Might need to DNA test that young lady 😂. Great vid as always!
So true!!
hifivega Two girls in the house yelling at you about the bass, lololol.
SWEET - very nice to see they both lived up to their rated output. But the Dayton's dynamic numbers - YA BOY!!!!
👌😊👍
Given the dynamic results and class a/b vs d.... I'm thinking the Dayton would probably sound better and more powerful with music than the Yung. Looking forward to the follow-up video!
Dayton audio has really surprised me for Audio! Never really heard of them but I bought a 12" powered subwoofer for hometheater system recently and hooked it up to a Rockford fosgate prime 400.4 in a car and the sub is bridged to 2 channels for just 200w pure rms power and all I gotta say is WOW!!
Thank you for this review.
I do want to note, the Yung amp does have an output limiter. I messed with mine one day and regardless of how high I turned the gain the output never went above ~300 watts, distorted or otherwise. Kudos to the Dayton, though. I like that enclosed design. A lot.
Thanks for watching and commenting
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
I actually bought the Yung SD300 about 3 months ago to power my old 12" 4ohm Powerbass car sub for a set up in my bathroom lol. (now I upgraded and it's going to go in the garage). It's been working great!
I actually built a small box for the amplifier itself and added terminal inputs to it. That way I could plug in any sub to it as it's own standalone amplifier. Good to know it actually does do it's rated 300wrms! And interesting test at the end at 2.6ohms!
Keep it up BigDWiz!!
I think using it in a separate enclosure will prolong its life. But you said bathroom system? Dude you be thumpin’ while you’re dumpin’ 🤣
LOL!!
Mainly to jam out while I shower but I won't deny that either XD
As always, appreciate the tests on plate amps. Have built subs using both amps but never knew what the real tested specs were. Again, truly great tests BigD 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻
Nice tester! Love my two Dayton Audio SUB-1000 powered subwoofers (10", 100w). They do an excellent job.
Excellent, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this! When I built my home sub I was considering these two exact amps. Ended up going with the Yung for a few reasons (dimensions, cost, output, etc), and I'm really happy with it.
In my initial listening tests, they both sounded equally good to my ears. I’ve heard some concerns with the Yung’s reliability, I’m betting it is due to vibration of components on the circuit board. I may use mine externally, building a small enclosure for the amp, not sure yet
Very cool video. I like that you test different amps (vintage, home, mini, etc.) and not just car audio. I'd bet most of us that follow your channel have interests across that range. I certainly do. I'd like to see more home audio testing and perhaps some of the more powerful plate sub amps. Thx!
I try to mix it up a bit, hopefully more variety in 2018 😬
Dayton plate amps are monsters and built to last. I use them in my customers builds. Their speakers and amps have never let me down.
Great info, thanks for sharing 🤙
Cool review!!!Dayton Audio is legit,run there 6.5's(4)of em and a dayton audio ho12 in a 1 ft sealed enclosure in my f250 on jl amps,great speakers and products from them,I've been punishing them for years without a hiccup.thx again for the channel Big D much ❤.
Thanks for the feedback, I need to post this over at Parts Express
Yeah, I've had that same Dayton amp for several years powering a Dayton 12" sub in a horn loaded enclosure for my deck. Sounds great with no issues. I'd be curious to see how the Yung amp does long term. Great test Big D !!
I just looked at these very amps tonight. Dayton for the win.
👌😬👍
Love the videos, Big D! I like the fact that you have been mixing it up with some home audio content as well. I don't know if you have ever thought about doing this, but it might be cool if you made a video showing all amps that you currently own in one video. I realize that would probably be time consuming, but it would make for awesome viewing! Whatever you decide to do, keep those videos coming man. I think your channel deserves a lot more views and subs! Great work. :)
Thanks a lot! I don’t like showing off, or temping others with my collection, but that would be cool. I’ll think about it. I like to mix things up 👍
@@wal it would also be cool if you dyno'd some home amps.
Big D running that plate amp uncovered is fine. I have been running mine naked for the last 9 years and it works just fine.
I purchased a yung 200 watt amp. It has worked flawlessly I can’t be upset especially for picking it up for about 100 bucks
My first dayton 200 lasted me almost 16 years on a various subwoofers. My yung sd300 lasted 2 years and will no longer power on. It ran cool and had lots of power running a dayton classic 18. I loved it untill it died for no reason and now I'm using the Dayton 250 like in your video with no problems so far.
Nice work D! I have both of these amps sitting in my stash. Word of caution on the Yung. It does not have short circuit protection. In testing, I forgot to shut it down and shorted the speaker leads. Blew the fuse and toast. Replaced the fuse, nothing.
Oh boy, that’s a biggie 😱
@@wal Sorry for the Necro post but I need to vent. :-) I have 4 of the Yung SD300-6 plate amps. The first 2 died 2 and 3 months after warranty. The replacement plate lasted 4.5 years installed in a Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 sub-woofer cabinet driving the 2, 8 inch subs. But I religiously switched the unit off after using it and was used only for PC gaming. It died and the 4th replacement Yung plate I had on the shelf that whole time died after 2 minutes. The red power light comes on but does not switch to green when receiving signal. I've never had the sub volume past half way. My other sub cabinet was a 10 in Alpine speaker and was one of the original Yung plate amps I had that died just after warranty. All amps died with the same issue, seems to power up but no activation. Why did I buy them a second time, well the holes in the cabinets were already the right size. I will never buy a Yung plate amp again now though after 4 failures. Plate amps dying seems to be part of the territory with these things but I would definitely switch to another brand like Dayton next time.
Now this is a good idea!! Thanks
PA amps next? Like the class D Crown xls
We shall see 🤔
BigDWiz Cuz it just happens to be the series that I own and I'm super curious 😀
Josh Kyte They put out their power. They're what Meade runs in his shop and has a whole build series on that setup, go check it out.
Thank you ive been wanting a test for a long time, either amp is good honestly I didnt know if young would do it but ima pick one up now for sure
You’re welcome. I only needed one amp, but since the were on sale and I knew a lot of people were wondering how both would do, just decided to buy both. I can always to a DIY project for one of the amps 🤙
This has to be my favorite amp dyno video
Thanks Anthony 🤙
Thank you Bid D I've been eyeballing one of those daytons for awhile wondering if it had the power. Now i know and I'm getting it
Awesome 👌
My dayton amp died and instead of buying another one I went a different direction. I bought a home power supply and am using a car audio mtx amp to push one 12" car audio Fosgate subwoofer. Sounds amazing!
Awesome 👏
How much is a good power supply
So glad i found this! Been putting off replacing the amp in my MTX SW2 & wasn't sure about Dayton components.
Looks like a great match with plenty of headroom! Thanks!!
I have been using the Dayton for a couple years now on a 4 ohm Pioneer car audio sub. If it performs anything like mine, I think that you will be extremely pleased with it.
Great video - Wanted to see a proper test of the Dayton plate amp and got to see it :)
Awesome, thanks for watching and commenting 🤙
I've seen these used in some pretty cool builds. One I liked was a in wall folded horn for a fifteen inch driver .
I've liked Dayton for a while they seem to stay well built and they tend to sound more expensive than they are.
I've been using the daytons for projects. I had zero to complain about, so I just kept with those.
nice test, i thought about buying a plate amp but never trusted ratings. So this is helpful.
I was satisfied with both amp’s results. No surprises except dynamic power 👍
Big Wiz your baby sounds adorable.
wow I have been looking at both these amps for some time and to see this I'd like to see some more home plate amps future like DA SPA500 or DA SPA1000 or the DA SPA250DSP on sale now at pe
Somehow big D, you can read my mind. Another great review.
Telepath-D 😜
That is some amplifier wars... There...
I didn’t want to consider it a drag race b/c one amp was rated higher, but still cool to test both at once
Thanks for doing this type of test... Have had amps go bad in my home subs and I just bought a new one but this offers another option I didn't know was available. Awesome work as always
👌😊👍
Ive repaired a few of those Boston subs. A single 50 cent Mylar cap would fix your problem. They crack or blow out the bottom of the capacitor between the leads, kind of hard to see unless you look real close.
Very cool! I’d love to see more plate amp tests. I’d also love to know what my HSU Research 250w is putting out
The yung may make a little less power, but the variable phase is quite important and often under used. Rarely do main speakers and subs perfectly integrate at 0 or 180 degrees. Also the yung will be more efficient as it’s class D.
Great video by the way.
But it won't last long. Then what?
I’m excited to see you hook these up to that Boston acoustic! I have the same sub!
Great review my friend . Both are great for what they ll be used for .
i ended up ordering the Yung SD300 . after shippings costs the Dayton is just too expensive into South Africa. i think the weight here makes importing the Dayton one even more.
The dayton SPA250 is a beast of an amp i bought one to replace a dead Cambridge SoundWorks basscube 10s amp an I swapped the driver out with a polk audio dxi 10in 4 ohm svc i never got to hear what the original amp sounded like but it was only rated for 75 watts but it shakes the entire house
I have heard that damping factor is the key to control a sub. Is it possible to measure this parameter in future videos?
That's hilarious my daughters would have said the same thing about the bass being loud but my son he's a bass head like his old man love the video big d wiz keeping coming
Thanks bro-heem 🤙
I bought the Yung, although it's called something else here in Europe. Same amp though. I built a nice side slot ported box for an 8 inch Fosgate P2D2-8. Home audio with car audio lol
Thanks for the review.
Monacor SAM-300D
I'm using that Dayton Audio amp on a Dayton audio 12 for my DIY home theater sub.
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting 👌
It's a great start to show a badass sound item
Really liked the comparison but would much have rather the Dayton SPA250 to have been compared with the Dayton SPA300-D. Do you plan to run an SPA300-D though its paces?
Good job as always Big D been a subscriber and supporter for a long time! Thanks again!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!!
I just came across your video. I am having issues with my cr400. I could not find a part two of this video. Did you ever release one? If not, which amp did you finally settle on? Thanks
What happened to part 2?
This is extremely timely. I too own a Boston Acoustics sub with a bad amp. I’m looking at these 2, plus the Boss 300. I’m waiting for part 2 before buying. I was leaning to the boss.
You mean “Bash”?
BigDWiz yes. Sorry. Bash 300
I have great plate amplifiers. Definitive Technology BP3000TL's! 18's with 1,500 watt amps in each towah!!! 155lbs each tower weighs. I've wanted those speakers since 1996 when they came out and I was at Best Buy when they had Cambridge, KLH and Bose and other brands in the theater room. The Def Tech's were in the furthest back corner and had the best THX bass. But they only had the 2,000's back then and I managed after sooo many years constantly searching for someone to sell the 3,000's. BOOM! A broke Congressman from Michigan who took off to Virginia in a Mansion then lost the Mansion and headed to North Carolina. He was a no good dude who fronted money to Al Qaeda. I didn't know any of this until after I drove from Detroit to North Carolina to buy from a dude on Ebay. I found the original sale brochure and receipt in one of the tower socks. These towers are bi-polar array with T-line boxes. Phenomenal sound! Holy crap! Who is this guy this brochure and Def Tech actually put his name on commercial paperwork! I was like whoa dude is mad important! lol. Now he is running a Church with evangelism or whatever that is. People talk smack on Ebay I find treasures all the time! Don't just settle. WAIT. Save those mags with price lists and aim for the best of that year forever because no matter what the best of any year usually and always is better than any mediocre stuff in the future always. A 3,000 watt Left and Right tower speaker set-up will never be less than that. Never less than the 18's that listen to this BIG D!!!! listen... 13htz they go down to!!!! 13!!!! Not 35htz, 30htz, 27htz, or like most 15's and 18's in the vehicles going no lower than maybe 15htz. 13! They knock the crap out of my Limestone house and the stone walls contain that bass sooo good 1 foot thick!! I'm always ready to RUUUUMMMBBBLLEEE!!
hey nice test there
i have the dayton amp. i tried hooking up two 8 ohm 12 inch woofers to it, in parallel, and it got REALLY hot, enough where you couldn't touch the heat sinks. it was supposed to be for a light weight pa subwoofer. yeah i don't recommend that
so now i have it on two other 4 ohm 12 inch woofers in series. now this is for home theater sub and it sounds great
i'll always choose a/b over class d every time. how does the class d sound against the dayton? did you compare that?
I was thinking about doing a DIY sub for the house, just to have fun. I was wondering if you ever do part two video to this one.
I have been researching plate amps for a while
So the Yung does look impressive performance-wise compared to the Dayton. I am wondering about longevity though. I have read some reviews where people indicated their Yung plate seemed to run really hot and some said theirs eventually blew out and quit (not saying this would happen to everyone). I noticed as you indicated about the Dayton having sealed internals and that the heatsink is all external (much more surface area than the Yung heatsink), and the Yung releases all it's heat toward the inside too so if using a vented box then might be fine, but if you are wanting to run sealed, then it may run at hotter temps.
I can see that as a drawback in my case because am looking to build a sealed box subwoofer, and originally thought to get the Yung and build the box with an intermediate chamber to mount the amp on, having a fan vent system (flowing outside air through it) to keep amp chamber cool.
The Dayton seems to be better in the cooling aspect though, since it has external heat sink and would not require any special design to account for temperature. In your case, you have a small speaker and will probably never drive the speaker close to amp limits and thus it may never get that hot really...
Very helpful video, I was looking at a diy sub amp and this should help
What’s a good whole home speaker system (in ceiling speakers and amp) that doesn’t break the bank? Preferably 6 to 8 speakers.
I realise this is an older review, but the Parts Express still sells the Dayton Audio SPA250. FYI, I am considering buying Qty 2 plates and pairing one each to JL Audio 12"TW1-4 (300w, 4Ω) subwoofers for my left + right DolbyAtmos front sound stage... I am designing into a low profile and architecturally integrated / built-in-wall home theatre front stage stage. I can not seem to find any multi-channel LFE input subwoofer 'amp' only options as I would have thought? What are your thoughts or would you use a different combination? Thanks, Jason
this is awesome as i was looking into getting either one of these brands!
Good deal, timing was great then 😊
That makes sense the Dayton went into protect and the Yung didn't. The Dayton is Class A/B so the amplifier simply ran to it's limit and it shut off, Class D amplifiers can limit themselves to prevent damage.
So what was the outcome? Which did you prefer for listening? Which one produced the better sound?
Another stellar video. Thanks, Big D
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and comment 🤙
Nice to know you can hook up a CD player to a plate amp. What is that gadget your using to hold the cd player?
Great video. But where is the follow up video of the attachment to the Boston? Interested in the put together.
Hey BigDWiz. Waiting on the follow up video to see how they go with that Boston sub..
I have just got the Yung SD300-6 plate amp to replace the faulty plate amp in my Velodyne CHT-12Q subwoofer.
Though on taking the old amp out & putting on my multi meter. It's a 8ohm subwoofer in there..
If I work out the internal enclosure size. Would I be able to fit a 4ohm subwoofer that suits that enclosure & install it?
Then I would in theory go from 150w to 300w output.. Sub is used mainly in Home theater
I used to run two of the Dayton SPA1000 for my home subs and although they never went into protect or shut off even after 6-8 hours of non stop LOUD play they did get nuclear hot
I bet that power bill was high too! Thanks for the feedback 🤙
Excellent work again my good friend. Nice to see these plates getting some straight up honest testing. Question: I am looking at rebuilding my home theatre/hi-fi system and was looking at replacing the plates on my two Klipsch KSW-10's with the Dayton plates. Was wondering if using a dedicated sub amp like the Dayton audio sa1000 might be a better investment vs buying two plates and replacing the old Klipsh plates on the KSW-10's This would allow for upgrade ability in the future should I decide to upgrade the subs in the system. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks again for all of your hard work!
Yeah that single SA1000 would do well for 2 subs as long as the impedance matches the amp
BigDWiz just curious, why don't you use a 20 to 20k pink noise track when testing ? I get not on this test but on the 2ch and 4ch car amps seems it would make more sense. At least try it and see what blows 😂
While the link shows the Yung amp without boost, you should state which one you purchased, as there are 2 versions. Great comparison video.
I bought the version without the boost
Great stuff! Did you ever get around to comparing them for sound in that Boston Acoustics box?
I didn't make a video, but used each for 3-4 months and honestly can not tell an audible difference between the two. They both sound great!
Not related to this video, but have you considered testing the small Rockford Fosgate T500/1 or T750/1 mono amps? Keep up the awesome videos!!!
I had both of those, and I'm using the sd300 right now. THe spa250 was good, but something kept happening where I had to flip the fuse sometimes. That's when i got the sd300 more powerful, and it was on sale. Had it for a two years, and not a single problem
I’ve been switching between the two. No issues and no noticeable difference in SQ
Why does those 5 clicks of the Dyno powering up sound so satisfying?
Agreed completely...gets me excited every time!
Hi, I have a monitor Audio asw-210 but it seem like the transformer had burned out. What plate would you recommend for me to get as a replacement that would fit with my subs. The asw-210 is a dual driver for two 10”. I could opt to buy other subs but it’s hard to let go of such a good sub. The dimensions I measured was 7 7/8 inch x 11 3/4 inches for the plate with 4 horizontal x 3 vertical screw holes.
My daughter hates loud music. I keep scratching my head saying what happened!
Yeah, but no complaints when cranking it in the car...up to a point 😬
Nice video! For some reason I'm surprised at how well that Yung did. Pleasantly surprised though. I wonder how the "BASH" plate amps do that PE sells. I used to run a Bash 300S on a Cerwin Vega Stroker 15D2 for home theater use.
I almost got the Bash amp too, think I may try the 500W version in the future
Thanks you Big Wiz. I bring the car's amplifier with the PC power supply, but i can not squeeze my subs with that power source, i will bring one of these now but you said that that home amplified back plates tend to malfunction. Why?
Strange that the one with variable phase does not have a full 360° of phase adjustment. You could crack your sub open and switch the wires to get the full 360, but kind of strange not to also have a switch too.
Great video. Could you do home amps like EMOTIVA thanks
Awesome content . I enjoy and appreciate your videos.
Good morning i know this is an old video. Would either of these types of amp work for a Mr Dj com18sub passive 18" 8ohm. Id like to make it active. Thanks or any recommendations home outdoor use.
You should maybe consider do a repair vid for the boston amp. I know, you're replacing it, but I love repair vids. XD
Plus it's fun, like a puzzle. (Though maybe not everyone enjoys such word XD)
I can dabble with repairs, but not a true tech. I’ll leave that for the pro’s
This is awsome! i would love to see you test some vintage receivers from the 70's compared to modern receivers. or even home power amps like emotiva or rotel.
Thanks! We shall see
will cleaning the speaker rubber with tap water, damage the rubber over time? getting worried. thanks
question. can the Dayton audio SPA-250 can drive two subwoofers in 2 separate channels?
otherwise, I'm trying to avoid buying 2 plates. since they're about 170$ each.. don't know if it's possible...Thanks
I went to buy the Yung and the price has nearly doubled in just a few years. What a shame.
Oh man, bummer!
Great video! I know this video is old but maybe you can still help me out. I'm looking at buying the dayton spa250 or the bash 300s. Dud you ever try a bash amp. What would u recommend?
Both of these are great amps. Sonically with sub I can not tell a difference
@@wal Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it
It would be great to see a test of the Dayton 500 and 1000W plate amps also, very curious
about their dynamic power. Maybe the Bash amps also.
We shall see. I may reach out to PE
I love that ending with that loooong thick brick amplifier U.S. AMPS! Dayummmm!!! I once ordered a 15" CEA or CES. I could never ever find the company again after I bought it. It was a Velodyne ripoff. But by ripoff I mean it was just as good for wayyyy less. 15" CEA or CES It was Cinema Audio Theater or Cinema Theater Audio Or CER. I don't remember I tossed it in a bon fire in my backyard because one night I was impressin' this girl Strawbary Shortkutt a escort and female rapper from Arizona. She came to Detroit and I offered to record her label mate Mastamind from Natas. Long story short I was drunk, we all were drunk and bumping that 15 with some pure low sine wavs from a frequency generator mixed in the music. WOMPWOMP BZZZCCCRRRKKKKKKKKtsch!! BLEW IT by putting wayy too much input and gain that night. I got carried away. But that's how it wasn't a Velodyne. hahaha. The sub blew but that amp was still good for a few years when I pulled it out of the box and smacked that plate amp on another box with a Dual Lanzar Pros with the thick paper pulp cones and thick baskets of the mid 90's. I had those babies for a loong time until they got stolen. Never blew those puppies.
soooooo how did things end with Strawbary Shortkutt?
I love the beginning!
Question, if I wanted to buy the Dayton to run four bass transducers at 4 ohms, would it would well?
Did you ever come out with a part 2 for this video? I can’t seem to find it
I haven’t yet. Both amps performed admirably and I have no issue recommending them both
Wow that Dayton is nice no wonder it gets good reviews.
Great amp and not over priced either
Don't understand this AC to DC adapter (do you mean DC to AC inverter?). They both have their own AC power connector and internal power supply which dont supply their main circuit board with 12V DC (could be a different DC voltages). Yung has a switching power supply which matches perfectly D class amp while I am not sure about Dayton AB amp since it is enclosed. Considering the weight it probably has a coil transformer in it so each has its own DC power supply internally. How did you measured the output on 12.3V DC?
When measuring car audio amplifiers, the Amp Dyno shares the power source with the amplifier, thus the resulting voltage display matches power output at a specific voltage. When I test home audio amplifiers, the Amp Dyno has a 120V AC to 12V DC power supply so the Amp Dyno can perform the tests. In this case the 12.3V shown has no importance to the test at all.
@@wal Thanks for that. So Dyno can "read" the AC voltage on speaker output terminals on tested amp and put it against the chosen ohm resistance (in this case 4 and 8 ohms) and measure the outputs in wats... That Dyno must be one expensive piece of tool. Thanks for doing all these tests in all these years for us who cannot afford it. Well wort subscribing and always watching to the end...
Sweet video! That Amp Dyno had to cost some coin. What a cool thing to have. Edit, looked it up, retail is 3.5K. Woo!!!
PE has good stuff. I bought their 408 DSP for my home system, which runs an ancient Yamaha amp from the 80s, very nice upgrade. Not only did I enjoy dialing the speakers in via the EQ, I no longer have to get up off my ass to raise or lower the volume of the system thanks to the handy cell phone app. Dunno how I lived in such no remote for the sound system poverty for so long.
Just irrationally attached to that old A700 Yamaha amp, which I bought new in '82. It was there for many college parties. It was there playing romantic background music when I got laid for the first time. I just gotta have it in my life - LMAO
👈😊👍
BigD I also own a Boston acoustic Sub it is a larger model with a 300watt plate amp. I also had to take it apart replace one of the caps it fixed the issue mostly. But I think I need to take a look at the turn on circuit because the sensor to allow it to turn on with the system just isn't that great. I have been looking at the plate amps parts express offered.
Update Wanted!
Which worked better in the Boston. I, too, have the CR400. It’s a great little sub...
I’ve been using the Dayton and it sounds fabtastic!
