8000 watts for under $300? Don't Take the Bait...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ค. 2024
- This Gravity Audio WZ8000.1D is advertised heavily on Amazon and eBay as an "8000 watt" amp. Yeah and priced at $269 with free shipping. To those who don't understand this deception, it's nothing less than a bait-and-switch technique stealing people's money. Most of us know there is NO WAY this amp is going to get close to 8000 watts, but companies continue to use this tactic and it's allowed for some unknown reason. Well friends, let me go ahead and waste almost $300 so we can all find out what this amp does! Thumbs up for my money, time and effort are appreciated (understanding you may want to thumbs down the amp).

but it has SMD products Man
Williston Audio Labs what is a good amp for a jl w7 13 rated for 1500watts I don’t care if it’s jl or not just preferably looking for a cheaper side amp to do pretty much the same power needed
Yiu listed the nvx amp as an affiliate link, do you or do you plan on dyno that 2700?i Have one and its a monster
Good evening sir, what amp would you use for 4-15L7 in ported box . I have mech man 350 amp alt with 3 yellow top batteries will be changing them out this summer with new batteries from JP. I already have kicker 4 ch for mid's and 2ch Rockford for highs was thinking about adding 1 more alt for just the subs with 3 batteries just for that amp. I want to go crazy loud this summer. I have my doors being fiberglass to hold (6) 8" for mid's and 4 super tweets on each door. With 4 tweets on each pillar by the windshield and all of this is going into my Tahoe with air bags to hold the xtra weight
I might change from L7 15s to 4 sundown 15's if needed to get my bass that I'm looking for or Def bounce
Have you ever thought about doing a “best of the year” and “worst of the year” amp test video? I love your videos and I actually ended up watching your review on a kenwood amp I was eyeing before buying it. Just might be helpful for new viewers as a reference.
Yessss
This would be awesome!
Call it the Dickriculous Awards lol
Excellent idea!
Or best of the decade
Just bought an ignite 3000 watt amp due to a review you did on one. It definitely bumps my little 10 inch. I bought a cheap sub in a box for $169. It WAY out performs my 2 12 inch kickers and puts just a 10. It's a Skar audio 1200 watt. It's breaking in now and starting to scare me a little. Makes me wanna buy 2 of their top-o-the-line 18's. Was skeptical but I'm a believer of this new brand. Jesus! It's Badass!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ive been wanting a test of these amps. Thanks for helping us to dispell company lies.
Good video. I’ve been wondering about these amps for about a year glad you did this video.
thanks for clearing that 8000w value up DWiz, appreciate the effort and expense put in to test this thing out for us
I wasted $300 like a Boss
Been wondering about that one for awhile. I see adds for it all the time. Thanks Big D!
Thanks big D, love the vids! Keep ‘em coming!
Let me tell you Big D. I've never felt so good about spending money until I purchased a Focal FPS 4160 and added Morel Tempo Ultra 692's. This combo is BEYOND words!!
25k 1 day and I like how you keep numbers charted keep them coming thanks for trying to keep them to their word
Hi. From what I've heard and seen for me it sounds and behaves like an A / B class amplifier. The power of 8000 W I think can be obtained dynamically with 0.5 ohm or less. It's really huge and doesn't seem to have very good or expensive parts but I think it's worth another chance :)! Peace
exactly
I've been wondering about those gravity amps for awhile. They look pretty legit but.... Adding this at the end... I've been wondering about that pioneer amp too! Thanks Derek!
Hell yeah! I’ve been waiting all day for a Big D Wiz new upload notification!
Awe yeah!!
Williston Audio Labs
It’s another great video Big D Wiz, I will admit you’ve perfected your art! I don’t know if you know how much the car audio community appreciates you for all the great amp tests your do. Not 1 but 2 thumbs up! 👍👍
Waiting all day for that big D eh. 😂
I love your videos I watch them all the time it is really helpful before I buy any amp I watch u test it thanks
I love your opening theme song big D. Who is it? Love what your doing. Keep up the great work. Stay safe and healthy sir. Thanks again for the old school content.
It’s from the TH-cam Audio Library called “Amazer Lazer”
that is so coool that there are people like you,that callout the BSER's that i wish would stop this BS about wattage,and i just love that dyno that you engineered.keep up the honest work,peace out.
I see you like Magic Mike a lot. The young generation don’t know who he is. Lol Love the videos!
Grew up in some MM!
He's a beast. My Father introduced me to him at a young age.
Williston Audio Labs I have a 2006 Yukon Denali XL. I like deep low end bass. I want 8 inch subs to allow cargo space. How many and what brand name would you recommend? I have a kicker kx 1200 and 4 channel kicker kx 650 for mids and highs. Sorry I know a lot of people like you opinion but just asking. Listen to rap music mostly. Again love your videos
Yo Mike!
@@anthonyabner5753 do 1 15inch in a custom box and you will be dropping bottom
Love the vids!!! Was thinks my about doing the same thing, but a bit different. I go shopping for amps all around Florida and other states....I find some goodies!
Thanks Big D!!! Definitely Taramps for the win!! Just got my Taramps MD 1800.1 installed !!! Thanks for doing the Dyno on the MD 1800.1 . 😁
They are innovating while many other companies are just copy/pasting old designs
I like how u mention whats ur best bang for ur buck comparing prices cool please mention it on all ones coming up
Your content is great man keep it up
Great video always informative!!!
Mr.Willllllllllllston. thank you for making your videos man! I've learned a lot from you. YeaaaaaaaaaaaBoiiii!
Thanks for giving information to us
Thank you bro,this is a good info..to avoid buying scam scrap amp..
Keep up the good work appreciate it.
thanks man for showing us the way. my leader oh leader oh mine!
Thanks for doin this, buddy! Much appreciated.
Yeah boi
LOVE the video but I can’t believe the Infinity Kappa didn’t win! Hope to see that soon.
I beleive it is 2 1500s built together , that would explain its crappy effiencey along with cheap parts. Thanks for testing it out , ive been wondering about this amp for a while now.
Maaaan everytime I HEAR Magic Mike it takes me back (35 years🙄😂).
What's the name of the song
Great video man !!! this will help a lot !!!
I requested 1st on your Facebook page.....glad u tested it...cant wait to see results...probably not terrible for the price....no way in hell 8000 watts lol
Nice lil scooby snack at the end a that..I like that..keep emm coming
Thanks for the vids and info!! Appreciate it
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Always LOVE the old school music choices...........
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Over in the back woods next the the Blair witch house, thats where you find the only licensed gravity audio installer....lmao I love watching these videos! as always we really appreciate you exposing all of these companies for what they really are
You always get what you pay for when it comes to pioneer loved the add on
Another great video, thanks BigD
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Big d thanks a lot for throwing this in there i have one of these at my shop and am thinking of using this in my spl build for my mids n highs instead of buying an 9604 but yo ser this almost getting 400. Itll do for 8 6.5 4 ways
Hahahaha thanks for the quick'n'dirty small amp test at the end 😄👍
Thanks for the video
I'll keep running my deafbonce 4k at .5ohm, absolutely not 1 single issue with it or my aak-200.4d.. both are awesome amps and have been very reliable.. my 370a mechman keeps them very happy at 15.2v, the 4k is powering my single deafbonce sa312 d1 at.5ohm daily.. such an amazing sub, and takes well over 4I rms easily, I've never once smelled any coil smells.. great American made 8 layer flat wound coil
love the amp dynos. I know you did one on some mini sub amps, I'm running 4 kenwood x501's about a $100.00 would love to see what there put out...maybe I'll upgrade and send you one ..keep up the good work
I bought the Audiopipe APCLE30001.D because of your tests. And dude, it's still kicking ass! Need better subs now
Good video D!
Been waiting on this seen them last year for cheap cheap
Cool little 4ch at the end of the vid. I really think that these micro amplifiers are going to be the way of the future. I think it's great.
U think? Man o man I'm gonna go buy one asap just because you think jfc
Mini amps and 4 8's are the new thing I suppose. Give me big ass old Rockford amps and 12s or 15s please.
Everything gets smaller so no shit lol
Oversized and under-powered,is this a boss brand?Keep up the good work big D!!!
Rampant overrated power ratings out there!
I think I get better efficiency from my mini fridge in the garage 😅 good video Big D like always!
The moment I saw the controls I thought audiopipe
love how the old pogo stick pic made the cut!
Yeah I appreciate you running a test on this app 8000 watch as a stretch but 3000 Watts with a lot of batteries and alternator well it is what it is you still have to upgrade if you want lots of Watts
8,000w when struck by lightning.
Thanks Big D!!
I love this channel...
I love this comment 😎
greaat video Big D, would that small amp at the end work good for door speakers? IM OUTTAA HEEEEYYUUUUhh
People dont realize that when you go cheap on an inefficient amp you spend more on electrical support. Research is great. Glade you help people make better decisions. Although some will see that near 5k dynamic and still think it's great. Well you will need the support of an 6k amp to get 3k.
Tanks fa da info
i have this amp on 5 soundstream 12s and it slams , 3 batteries total on stock 160 amp alt and full tilt never drops below 13 volts , i think its a steal for the price !
If it’s on a stock amp and never drops below 13v it’s definitely nowhere near 3k let alone 8k
Those subs are kicking!!
Fo sho
Thank you 🙏
That good ole dj magic mike💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾
Playing the Magic Mike cutz the record! #1 of all time!
👍that and house of magic is bad ass besides feel the bass
That amp reminds me of an audiopipe gone fancy
270 dollars, 320 amp alternator, 2 batteries, might have found my sleeper amp!, this amps a beast!!!
That's what i think 2 👍(KILLWAUKEE STAMPED
Go cheap on an inefficient amp and you wind up spending more on electrical support anyhow.
Thanks brother
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@wilsonaudiolabs would love to see some old school Polk audio momo stuff. Not sure if you can get your hands on it, but surely would like to see dyno results. Love videos keep doing what you do 👍🤟🏻
That’s great gear fo sho
I'd like to see you do a test using
Ron C's Trendsetter. Keep up the interesting work I enjoy it.
👌😬👍
i would like to see some of the C.V amps
That little pioneer amp is pretty cool. Good replacement for a stock head unit amp.
Call me crazy but I think this is a really nice looking amp
Would love to see some of the Crown audio pro amps on the dyno. I.e. XLS2502, 1502, 1002. I use these to power car subs in home theater.
Glad I saw this. I was gonna order one
You can order mine at a discount...free plus $240 shipping 😜
Does that come with a free mechman alternator lol
2800 watts for 280 bucks. That's HUGE power per dollar! I want one! And look at those guts! Beast! This is an amp less than 300?!?
At over 300amps how long would it last and does it get hot
Definitely go for the mini amp
Thanks for your time and effort you put in 🤘👍😷
Still puts out decent power. No need to lie about the rating. 2.5k is decent. Honesty goes a long way.
Sorta looks like they were loosely basing their build off of audiopipe, also that remote knob has an audiopipe'ish look to it. Thanks for the great review and test👍 one can definitely do better in that price range.
Yeah similar to AP for sure
I'm wondering if that amp is having issues. 🤔Very strange for a class D to have such a low efficiency. I agree with you too. I'd rather spend my money on a Taramps before dishing out money on that one. Great video bro!!👌
Thank u 👍🏾
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi big D, i was wondering if you have done any videos on the Boss Audio Elite lineup? Curious to see if the elite lineup is better than their phantom, chaos, etc..
Great video thanks, almost bought that amp getting impatient waiting for another one to come through the mail, glad I didn’t I figured it was trash, but check out US acoustics 3500watt Big Ben. Tell me what you think.
I like the pioneer!!!
Same guts as sonido mask 3k. Pure audio 3k. Shark 3k
Liked your older vids intro’s alot more. Sounded way better
HiFonics did that with the Colossus back in the day, but that was two quality Zeus boards in one amp, and each board was separate.
This though...
I'd spend my money on the Smart 3.
Can you do a review on the Audio Legion AL110.4 740W 4-Channel Car Amplifier. Thank you.
Hi Big D! Could you please test any MB Quart amp? There are almost no tests of these amps available. Thanks!
Try the subwoofer G7 or either one.
The amplifier is a 40% out of 100%
I like the amp for the price. It can push
Damm good job 👍🏽
🤙
The DS18 SXE-4000.4D run about the same price and are probably much better
Great numbers, but with that much current pull, I wonder what the life expectations of this amp are.
Haven't really seen any audiobahn amp testing, what do you think about the A2801T. I was wondering about the wattage reading on the amp Dyno. Any thoughts, Or opinions.
If you could find a shark shkamp-2500d I would love to see that on the dyno. I Stull have my one from my old setup and am thinking about using it again in a new build. I've look over the interweb for years and still no dyno test.
that little sony amp at the end would be perfect for my bicycle stereo system.
That's not Sony its Pioneer
Do you have poly mat inside your 4-8 box?
I used it in my girlfriend’s 2-12 box with two 4” aero port, tuned to 33 HZ as a experiment and it sounded very smooth even playing out of its tuning capability I didn’t hear any tinging sound or port noise.
My first big amp years ago was the Percision power 2150. Old school black with red accents. Have you ever tested this amp? Supposedly it was one of the best in its day. It would be awesome to see that one tested. I have been looking for one for quite some time but have not been able to find it
I had a precision power crossover back in the day hooked up to a Soundstream Class A 6 and a Reference 200. I loved the Precision.
I have been waiting for someone to do an amp dyno on this amp
You’re welcome. Now somebody buy this from me
I have 4 18 inch skar , what size amp can I get to push them . I have 2 250 high output alternator and two 2 2400 kinetik batteries , i want thinking about getting 2 skar amp 4700.1 . Will be a great on the 4 18 inch subs ?
In Mexico we have a similar amp... Rock Series RKS-UL3000.1; almost the same amp 🤔
juan hernandez si no me equivoco solo la carcasa bro, giorgio en mexico los abrió y si eran algp distintos
Nada que ver, la carcasa sí, porque es de la misma fábrica china, pero la placa es totalmente distinta. La rock series 3000 es una sola placa más parecida o casi igual a la del belva 5000. El rock series predator si es un diseño muy similar al gravity (dos placas por dentro) pero es de mayor potencia que éste, tiene más transformadores transistores.
Sheesh Big D .....I asked for a power test of the crown xls 2502 power amp last year
when are you gonna test it?
The link is the company that manufacture that line of subs and amps
