Why would it make scarry heat??? Amps are supposed to function exactly this way being if we have 1500 at 2 ohm then 1 ohm better damn well be 3k. If not then the amps power supply is weak for its main board or the main board cannot supply the current.
@@christopherparis6841 🤫 shh... I’m trying to get him to do the Flir footage again! That stuff is cool! Like watching Predator and hearing about car audio at the same time!!!
@@PrydeWater901 hell ya my guy you right on that hands down. Gotta be an app for our phones that enable that shit i mean every phone monitors our vitals without any extra watch or wrist band....crazy world
Totally agree!! The audiopipe apmn-2000 looks like one of the best budget amps I've ever seen, but there are a lot of people reporting some serious heat issues with this amp, which is concerning!
I do the exact same thing at least if I run into an amp somewhere I may know what it can do because of these videos every amp I consider buying I look it up to see if it's been tested on here first
Everyone has been sleeping on Harmony Audio. I've been running their monolith 15 sub, daily, for over a year now and it's a damn beast. Very well built stuff for the price.
Looks like their mission statement is to: under promise and flat out over deliver. I bet these amps start selling like hot cakes after you release this video.
Don’t skip the “Do it bump doe “. May look the same to some if they don’t know any better but sometimes you can see a slight difference in Xmax and woofer control plus it’s just fun to watch.
What a refreshing result. I can't remember if I've ever seen an unknown amp brand outperform it's rated RMS power, much less as much as this one did. And for $220? Hell yeah!
I've been out of the basshead game for 20 years so it seems like there so many brands that I never heard of that are amazing. American bass, Skar, Deaf Bonce, Down4sound JP amps, Sundown ect.....
I ordered last week just got it , hooked it up, i did check made sure nothing was loose like this one, and let me tell you holy smokes crazy power i wonder why its so under rated , i got total faith on this amp idk why
@Some Guy I remember back in the day what good class D amps cost!! I was in high school back during Circuit City's heyday & would go in there & just drool over the amps I could not afford at the time. 1000 rms monoblock D amps $1099 & $1199 plus tax.. And the amps were HUGE back then! I just recently bought a Sundown 5k new for only $375.99 w/free shipping. Back in the day their was no way I could afford a 5k rms amp, if I could've even found one lol. I bought my Taramps 8k last year for $439 new w/free shipping & my Smart3 for $279 new. Lol Some Guy just imagine if we could buy all these powerful amps & go back to the mid 90s or even the early 00s with them, sell them and bring our profits back with us to present day... If only there were a way to do that, we'd be loaded! Sure would be a sweet gig, OK I'll wake up now.
I enjoy seeing the subs flex. Also I swear I can hear the difference when some of the amps are spectacularly bad. It can always be skipped if people don't like watching it. Thank you for all your work and entertaining videos.
I just ordered a Harmony. I guess I'll find out how it does in the long term. But the fact that they didn't lie about the power rating in the typical fashion where you have to subtract a zero from the end to get the true wattage LOL sold me. Perhaps we have a new player in the audio industry that is actually honest. As Scotty used to say on Star Trek "I'm giving it all she's got captain". When there was always a little more. And he always gave a figure twice as long to fix something that actually took. Perhaps they're working on the same philosophy. Oh I guess the other thing was they gave you a thank you for buying it. LOL Hey when you're a new player in an old game you have to build some credibility.
STILL going strong. I have it on 3 custom 12"s and it's hitting. I'm really surprised. Thinking of going with a smart5 or smart 8 or 2 more of these. Again, anyone watching and thinking about buying this amp. It's underrated and very strong
It would have been nice to see it run at 12.5 volts . Might hit their rating at a normal car voltage for the guy that's just going to run a cheap wiring kit and stock battery and alternator. That's the guy that would be buying this amp
Incredible i just ordered one myself do you recommend it ? Does it get hot ? I cant believe the performance of this amp , im going to be running 2 type R 1000w rms a piece 32hz custom box super excited
I literally was looking yesterday to see if you had done a review on this amp when I didn't see a review I went on a hunch and bought it anyway then you put up a review today so happy bc I feel like once you review an amp and it's a great review the price always goes
So I've been eyeballing these amps on Amazon for a couple months now. After seeing this video, I purchased one. No loose items inside lol. I can't wait to run new wiring and see how my Kicker L7 15" Solo baric sounds now. Thank you for the review and testing on this amp!!!!
This amp has been awesome for me. I’ve had the harmony ha800 hook up to Memphis mojo in a BMW and it works great. The rca adapter for high level can withstand higher voltage and amps then most LOC and amps.The bass cable has light and can turn amp completely off using bass remote which most amps you can’t do. I had a scar amp and I had to buy a LCi2 to hook up but Harmony could handle the higher voltage from BMW HIFI system with no LOC
@@matthewthedude146 yes I’ve had the Harmon kardon and b&o sound system. Just tab into one of the sub woofers line by the amp. You’ll need an amp able to handle 30-40 volts. Like the kicker cx or harmony or get a lci1 audio control. It’s really simple because the amp and battery are in the trunk
I like the do it bump doe section because you always give feedback if the amp doesn’t control the subs properly and that’s the most important part . If your amp produces tons of power but sounds like garbage because of lack of control then what use is it.
WoW, this was a true shocker on the power ratings. Definitely a budget gem. I mean for $200, I guess if you didn’t want to spend a lot of money and you were just looking for a little boost in the sound system, this would be on the list.
I'm still stunned by how much power modern Class D amps produce. I haven't seen over rating by percentage this high since the old school RF cheater amps.
Harmony is legit. I got monolith 15 a year ago and that thing was a beast. On my second sub with the HA-C2 15 and that shits a Sundown SA killer for under $200. Growing some love for these guys.
Different amps being fed the same signal, while powering identical subs, will physically "push/pull" each sub differently. If you put both subs side by side while playing the same demo, you can see which amp has a better damping factor and "tighter" control over the sub assuming the values are drastically different. Whether the sub actually cares if it's getting hammered more times per second vs. a higher damping factor or if it'll even sound different, is debatable. Can test this yourself sometime. Tried it once with an old 1600ovi PA vs. a 600w Crossfire, both bridged @4ohm. CF had way better control, while the Power Acoustik physically beat the hell of the sub movement with less wattage.
@@casey360360 Yeah I saw that one too LOL. Now this Amp has a loose wire bouncing around inside of it??!!! Poor build quality, the 8 year olds in China need to step up their came I quess.
This amp is really impressive. I even like the design a lot with it's clean brushed aluminum. Kinda sucks about the bass knob but I've always used the subwoofer level control on my H.U. and haven't ever used a bass knob. I would use one if it had a voltmeter and/or clip indicator light though.
For what it's worth, I usually consider the beginning of the "do it bump tho" segment as the end of the video. No point in even skipping it unless there is a teaser for something at the end. I'm just like, "well, there's nothing useful to see in the rest of this video. Peace out."
I don't normally comment but this is one he'll of a powerfully underated amp for the price :) might have to get one of these if I can get hold of one in the UK
Yaaaaaay THANK YOU BIG D I WANTED THIS AMP A LONG TIME AGO BECAUSE IT HAD NO REVIEWS AND NO VIDEOS OF THEM ON YT WE ALL APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO FOR US BUDGET B HEADS MUCH LOVE FROM OHIO💙
Love your amp dyno's Big D! Please keep the, Do it Bump Doe?! Your ears are a powerful measuring instrument, don't dismiss doing a real sound quality demo and letting us know your real impressions. It's part of what makes your dyno format so fun!
MY MAN! Again bringing us real info for our real hard earned money as much as his! I'm not missing the flex, unless we need some additional info about some odd behavior. Example: I had a Skar ZVX i think in a silly cheap box that barely cleared the pole vent againts the enclosure slot vent. At rest, the sub was just almost 2ohm but i'm sure at flex that changed. I had a Taramps Smart 3k that seemed to fling that baby waaay out for the power, and I discovered it seemed to start in 2ohm mode. I would have liked to see the behavior on a oscilliscope once, but really what you want to know is, "DO IT BUMP Doe? " and that combo really does, like exceptionally to the point of overloading the 350a breaker on just some songs, and up to the shorting rings on the sub enough to make them stink as well. It's almost a cheater setup if you have enough Li and Cu to back it up. Thanks for your time again sir.
I wonder how many people blew their speakers believing the numbers that were included in the manual to set their gain switch? lol I sure hope this is an indicator of all Harmony quality with their products. It usually takes a high end expensive ($500+) amp to see nearly the double power ratings! Thanks for the video, will be keeping Harmony in mind on my next amp!
Love the videos ... the Dyno and objective tests provide great information . Do it bump ? I get the observation that watching the speakers is of limited use... but the subjective commentary on “ how does it sound” is very useful ... you can’t listen to a spreadsheet. Thanks for the content.
Setup your speakers in a way that will allow you to reliably measure dBs and see what each amp will do. I suppose that maybe it will probably be the same across the board with the larger amps but will give us an idea how the lower wattage amps do. ...just an idea.
I bought one because I figured what the heck. Man it slams my two type R 12 like mad. really clean too. I am very impressed. All I can say is wow buy it.. We shall see how long it lasts. Love your vids you help a lot... Take care big buddy
I have been wondering about these amps. Parker Dachille ( however you spell his name 😂) did a video of the 2 12s. The quality control seems very poor. Another awesome video! Don’t get rid of the does it bump tho!!!
In the design phase of a new system in my new car - 18' Sentra SR Turbo - after being out of the car audio market for about 15 years. I've been stuck on the amps. Was sold on the Powerus line thanks to BareVids but can't find them anywhere. Came VERY close to pulling the trigger on the Pioneers but something said "Yeaaaaah, but no". I keep wishing the new Soundstream would magically go "poof" and turn back into the old Soundstream but...sigh. Now THEEESE amps....Yeah, these just might fit the bill!! Thanks big guy!
i have a set of the harmony 12 inch subs and they bump pretty dam good for what i have, also running a set of the harmony 6x9 and 6.5 door speakers and i cant complain at all
I have been running a Harmony HA800.5 for about a year powering many different speakers. These amps are high quality, and durable. It currently powers 2 Skar VX1-ST and 2 Skar NPX65-4 at 2 ohms on the front channel. Runs 2 Skar TX69 6x9’s in the rear, and 1 Sundown Audio SA15 classic at 1 ohm on the bass channel. The amp never shuts down, and doesn’t seem to care how hard I drive it. Better than every name brand amp I have ever owned except Crown XLS2500, which is Apples to Oranges comparison.
@@wal hey boss you keep up the unbiased vids and the support is great Iv communicated with them several times cause the websites terrible they are out of the Midwest I heard the components are a bit shady.
I've seen a video on here someone's channel running 2 harmony audio 15's & BOOOOYYY it was SLAMMING!!! He was just as surprised as I was! He never metered, but by the damage it was & wind pressure it showed in that short clip, I was very interested. Said he got it on ebay for 200 a piece!
I'm am glad you took out the DO IT BUMP segment.... it doesnt really show anything especially since we are most likely watching these videos on are phone and couldnt tell the difference ifs it's a zapco or a boss amp unless we are there
Back 2 years later, STILL running strong. I have 2 at 1.3 ohms per amp on 3 of the Harmony carbon 12"s in 5.2 cu/ft tuned at 28 Hz. I lost a dust cap on one, so I added epoxy to all 3 cones and dust caps to add mass as well as fix the weak dust cap glue. It slams.

If you do it bump part it should be in a controlled environment that is sealed with an SPL meter.
Those ratings were probably ratings for each individual channel.
@@RiQWitDaBliQ It's a mono block (one channel) amp, the dual speaker terminals are tied together internally.
Bmw and mini actually have been using harmony audio for yrs
An amp that actually does the "PEAK/MAX" power ratings. Great job Harmony Audio.
And a little more to boot this is a winner for the price
it's the 1khz vs 20-20khz rating. with all bands push makes a big difference. pay attention to how manufacturers rate their power output

I had a Taramps Smart 3k that seemed to fling that baby waaay out for the power, and I discovered it seemed to start in 2ohm mode. I would have liked to see the behavior on a oscilliscope once, but really what you want to know is, "DO IT BUMP Doe? " and that combo really does, like exceptionally to the point of overloading the 350a breaker on just some songs, and up to the shorting rings on the sub enough to make them stink as well. It's almost a cheater setup if you have enough Li and Cu to back it up. Thanks for your time again sir.
Subs dancing is always sexy. 😂
👌😬👍
@@wal Yeah keep the sub flexing parts in please.
Agreed. I always liked it even tho they always seem to move a similar amount.
I have a nice home system, so I love the do it bump doe segment
Wow. Just watched Parker try the harmony subs that were a huge fail. Been looking at this new harmony stuff. Nice job on this amp.
Yeah that was bad bad on the subs
I saw he posted a vid haven’t watched it yet. Will check it fo sho
I'm hoping that was something that happened in shipping. For both subs to be in that shape upon arrival?
who's parker?
I wonder how many people blew their speakers believing the numbers that were included in the manual to set their gain switch? lol I sure hope this is an indicator of all Harmony quality with their products. It usually takes a high end expensive ($500+) amp to see nearly the double power ratings! Thanks for the video, will be keeping Harmony in mind on my next amp!
I just got this amp together with the kicker quad box as a bundle, best money I've ever spent, no regrets
Awesome 👏
I'm watching this video while eating a spicy chicken sandwich some chips and sweet tea in a mason jar
And absolutely *NOBODY* cares.
You down south?
"Do it bump doe" classic and entertaining like "You big dummy" I vote to keep it!
Love the videos ... the Dyno and objective tests provide great information .
Do it bump ? I get the observation that watching the speakers is of limited use... but the subjective commentary on “ how does it sound” is very useful ... you can’t listen to a spreadsheet. Thanks for the content.
Thanks to you Williston i got one of these on two skar svr 12s 😁
Don't skip the do it bump do. Best part of the video. Even better when you put the amm1 and we can see the rms power when connected to the subs!
You are awesome man😍
Love you from iran 🇮🇷
Thanks for watching and commenting!
respect🙏 🇮🇷
Much love form the states brother, bass on!
Im all for the “Do it bump doe”..
Well I'm impressed! Another good video Big D but I still would like to see the subwoofer flex test tho.
I knew this amp was underrated. I have 2 of them running 2 harmony audio monolith 12s. They slam
Do you think one of these can run 3 8 inch skars and not overheat
Video proof or bs
Wheelie we like to see the flex or at least I doe 😆
Seems like a good amp! Myself I keep thinking about purchasing the JP 23 myself but this one is close to it!
Setup your speakers in a way that will allow you to reliably measure dBs and see what each amp will do. I suppose that maybe it will probably be the same across the board with the larger amps but will give us an idea how the lower wattage amps do. ...just an idea.
Don't skip it. I really enjoy the "do it bump doe?" segment.
You gotta get some harmony audio 15” monolith subs and test them out. You would be the first person on TH-cam if you did 👍
I'm digging your channel. I'm a basshead from way back when. I had punch 120 and 2 JL w3 12's. In a hatchback Ford Escort. BOOM it was awesome
I bought one because I figured what the heck. Man it slams my two type R 12 like mad. really clean too. I am very impressed. All I can say is wow buy it.. We shall see how long it lasts. Love your vids you help a lot... Take care big buddy
Do it Bump Doe is warranted. I look for cone and flex stability. I think it should be brought back and tell us how it sounded to you.
We all need our woofer p*** fix hahaha them cones can be quite smexy
cone and flex stability when it comes to a certain interchangeable amplifier ?.... what the f*ck are you even talking about man...
I have been wondering about these amps. Parker Dachille ( however you spell his name 😂) did a video of the 2 12s. The quality control seems very poor. Another awesome video! Don’t get rid of the does it bump tho!!!
I saw his video on those subs too... that’s why I’m shocked the amp did this well
Guess how long before they sell out? Prices will be on the rise.
In the design phase of a new system in my new car - 18' Sentra SR Turbo - after being out of the car audio market for about 15 years. I've been stuck on the amps. Was sold on the Powerus line thanks to BareVids but can't find them anywhere. Came VERY close to pulling the trigger on the Pioneers but something said "Yeaaaaah, but no". I keep wishing the new Soundstream would magically go "poof" and turn back into the old Soundstream but...sigh. Now THEEESE amps....Yeah, these just might fit the bill!! Thanks big guy!
It’s the E-Harmony amplifier. Comes with extra relationships inside.
Was it just me or did Big D sound sad in this video☹ hope everything's good big D👊👊
Sounds like he had a long day or week
Wow this is one of the most powerful 1500 rms watt amplifier!! GO HARMONY AUDIO!!
I hear Bone, Thugs in Harmony 😝
One of those products, with just a little quality improvement and promotion. You have a beast of an urban legend on your hands.
😬👍
i have a set of the harmony 12 inch subs and they bump pretty dam good for what i have, also running a set of the harmony 6x9 and 6.5 door speakers and i cant complain at all
I have been running a Harmony HA800.5 for about a year powering many different speakers. These amps are high quality, and durable. It currently powers 2 Skar VX1-ST and 2 Skar NPX65-4 at 2 ohms on the front channel. Runs 2 Skar TX69 6x9’s in the rear, and 1 Sundown Audio SA15 classic at 1 ohm on the bass channel. The amp never shuts down, and doesn’t seem to care how hard I drive it. Better than every name brand amp I have ever owned except Crown XLS2500, which is Apples to Oranges comparison.
Hell yeah been waiting on this one thank you big D
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@wal hey boss you keep up the unbiased vids and the support is great Iv communicated with them several times cause the websites terrible they are out of the Midwest I heard the components are a bit shady.
Интересный усилитель, компактный. Спасибо Вам за видео!
Owe man been waitiing for you try these amps for a while now
DEREK I NEED A COPY OF THAT GUY DOING THE SINE WAVE DANCE FOR MY ELECTRICAL CLASS! My students would love that!!!
It's Big D, you big dummy :D
Love seeing you run higher and especially lower Ohm’s to see what they can do.
I've seen a video on here someone's channel running 2 harmony audio 15's & BOOOOYYY it was SLAMMING!!! He was just as surprised as I was! He never metered, but by the damage it was & wind pressure it showed in that short clip, I was very interested. Said he got it on ebay for 200 a piece!
Of course we want the "Do it bump doe"!
I want to see the speakers flex man and also would like to see the thermal camera return, great content dude!
I'm am glad you took out the DO IT BUMP segment.... it doesnt really show anything especially since we are most likely watching these videos on are phone and couldnt tell the difference ifs it's a zapco or a boss amp unless we are there
Back 2 years later, STILL running strong. I have 2 at 1.3 ohms per amp on 3 of the Harmony carbon 12"s in 5.2 cu/ft tuned at 28 Hz. I lost a dust cap on one, so I added epoxy to all 3 cones and dust caps to add mass as well as fix the weak dust cap glue. It slams.
