I don't know if this was a joke or this was just being done on April fools or what,,,,, but I actually have this amp myself and it pounds the hell out of any speaker that is not rated at least 800 watts!!! I've actually blown two 1,000 watt speakers with that amp that you say does not even do 300 watts. People,, please use a Dyno ,, oh ps did you guys not notice that the ohms , when being played , if tested at the speaker terminals or amp output ,, will change a little with different sounds and power Anyhoo ,,, once I got past this as being serious ,, I thought I would put in my 3 cents. GOOD 1 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have that exact same amp. It does not run at 1ohm. Its says 2ohm on the box. Its shuts off if you try to run 1ohm. It definitely runs way more than watts then what said in this video. I got 2 1,200 watt Memphis 12s and it makes my side mirrors ripple and I gotta drop the windows for air space. This video is a joke. Maybe he needs to know how to properly install a amp!!! Not on a table with a real battery and some 4gage wire or better!! That amp is a great buy for the price. I've beat the shit out of it and its has never givin me any problem besides pissing people off for my bass traveling to far and too loud. I'm setting off car alarms. SMH. Someone else who has no idea what they're talking about.
I don't like to leave negative comments, but in this case I think its justified because it looks like other posters will be using this video to make a purchasing decision. Don't get me wrong, I know your comments were made with the best of intentions. Its just your knowledge of audio components, and how they work, are not where they need to be. I don't have time right now to do a full review covering all the details. I'll leave a list of comments, and if I'm not clear, or you have questions just post, and I'll do my best to address them. -- Any type of power measurement needs to be associated with the amount of distortion produced by the amp, at that particular point in time, for that load. -- All other things being equal, the lower the resistance (ohms), the harder the amp has to work. For example, its easier for an amp to produce a 50 watt load at 8 ohms, than it will 100 watts at 4 ohms. This is where distortion becomes critical. The amount of distortion an amp produces will increases, as resistance falls. --The biggest mistake people make when assessing an amp, is going by watts. Volts x amps = watts. So, if you 're looking at an amp that's rated for 100 watts at 8 ohms, producing x distortion, is mot much help. 10 amps x 10 volts= 100 watts. 2 amps x 50 volts = 100 watts. 4 amps x 25 volts = 100 watts. The combinations are endless. == Ohms listed for speaker measurements are averages. So, if you buy a pair of speakers that are rated for 4 ohms, understand that the 4 ohms is just an average. In order for it to be meaningful, the average needs to be listed along with the lowest possible resistance the speaker will provide the amp. Looking at a spec sheet, you'll see something like 4 ohm's nominal, 2.5 ohms lowest. For picking an amp, the lowest amount of resistance at 2.5 is much more important than the 4 ohm rating. I don't have time right now to continue, but I think I've covered all the basics. To apply this in a meaningful way,using the Planet Audio amp in question, it should be easy enough to figure out that this amp is not ideal for a sub. You're just asking way too much from it. You're not getting a super high output, high current amp for $70. I would use it in a different application. It would sound great on a pair of door speakers.
1 Should have measured power supply voltage while testing @ each resistance 2 Should have shown Speaker resistance before testing (4-2-1 ohm not possible unless you have a 4ohm dvc and unhook 1 v.c. for 4ohm test which was not stated) 3 The amp probably put out more voltage @ 4ohm test due to power supply limitations (see #1)
its a dual voice coil subwoofer that this douche used, it has two voice coils and each voice coil was supposed to be 2 ohms. if you parallel them you get 1 ohm, if your un just one coil you have two ohms and if you series them you get 4 ohms. But yeah it all changes as soon as the cone moves.
It doesn't matter because its not doing rated power at any ohm load and Speaker is dual voice coils its how u change ohm load now please get a clue before you hate
You're doing a little too much extrapolation with your calculations there...you'll see similar results for power output on higher-end amps also, provided all your variables are the same and you're testing 40Hz using the same head unit and power supply. You're only looking at a small sliver of the spectrum.
Dont the wires your using make a difference 16 gauge to 4 or 0 gauge 16 gauge speaker wires is whats rated for the 0 gauge 4 is i believe 18 or 17 gauge i really think your not giving that amp a chance with those wires cause i have a planet audio 3000 watts and a weak lanzar 6000 watts hooked up to l7's and that planet audio makes a huge difference between the two also running from 0 gauge wires with a kinetik battery to let the amp breath
Great vid! Just asking if I can connect (2) dual 4ohm subs to this amp, since it only has speaker outputs for (one) sub. How would I do this, without the amp going into protect mode?
So many things wrong here that have already been addressed. I won't bash the cringeworthy lack of electronic knowledge here but the math is semi-useful and the joke at the end is spot-on! I do hope the kid forgets almost everything she learned though.
nice job on how to get more out of a cheap amp i usually will match the speakers with the end so it the app says it's a 1500 I usually try to go for like 100 watt speakers RMS to handle that power which will make them sound like it's amazing and when we already is it's a piece of s*** just I have it wired down on some unexpensive subwoofers so it would make that amp sound excellent thanks for the video bro that was good help
only problem I have with this is how is the speaker wire is it a dual voice coil is a single voice coil is it 2 ohm 4 ohm or 8 ohm all of this counts in ohms law your method needs to be rethought 1 ohm is more powerful than 2 ohm and 2 ohm is more powerful than 4 ohm so it's something missing u have to determine what load the amp is currently at with the speakers ohm age and wattage
Everyone please do not listen to this guy he does not have proper knowledge I understand he's trying to give us information but he has the wrong information he needs to understand what's going on before he actually starts telling other people what to do
didn't you practice this first before you went live?? I can't watch anymore but good luck to you. and what did you call her before she plugged it in?? I don't care what it was.... don't ever do that again
To all you armchair EE's repeating the obvious, yes I know the formula I used to calculate watts was for DC, yes I know I wasn't accounting for box rise, yes I know I'm a horrible person and should be taken out back and shot; the point still remains: these amps suck and there's nothing you can do to get these to output what's on the box, and the DC calculations aren't far off from the actual output (and honestly they're generous). Here is the same amp (different brand/skin) going through dyno testing: th-cam.com/video/omK1eyFqc08/w-d-xo.html the results are even worse than my calculations.
They suck? Totally beg to differ.. You provide 4 clean volts input from a quality head unit with quality crossover and You get amazing results. Signal is more important than ANY AMP ever will be. I have an anarchy 1200 pushing a pair of shallow mount 250w rms subs with a very high quality pioneer 7" touch. The gain is on 3/4 so in the clean area, bass boost and loud off and the subs sound amazing at max push..
😂😂😂 10 minutes of my life I can never get back🤦🏽♂️ Wrong Title Brother 👿 (Shout Out to Big D @ Wilson Audio)💯
That formula is how to calculate amperage, not wattage.
I don't know if this was a joke or this was just being done on April fools or what,,,,, but I actually have this amp myself and it pounds the hell out of any speaker that is not rated at least 800 watts!!!
I've actually blown two 1,000 watt speakers with that amp that you say does not even do 300 watts.
People,, please use a Dyno ,, oh ps did you guys not notice that the ohms , when being played , if tested at the speaker terminals or amp output ,, will change a little with different sounds and power
Anyhoo ,,, once I got past this as being serious ,, I thought I would put in my 3 cents.
GOOD 1 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Question, help me out, what subs should I get for this? I have a box for 2 12s

Samtab Galaxy so what your saying it my 1200 watt speakers are fine with my 1500 watt planet audio amp or should i get a diffrent amp
Very good video
1 Should have measured power supply voltage while testing @ each resistance
2 Should have shown Speaker resistance before testing (4-2-1 ohm not possible unless you have a 4ohm dvc and unhook 1 v.c. for 4ohm test which was not stated)
3 The amp probably put out more voltage @ 4ohm test due to power supply limitations (see #1)
This guy even went thru the trouble of making a flipn spread sheet!!! Lmfao
when and how did you change the ohm load from 4ohms to 2 ohms and 1 ohm on a single subwoofer . this is so full of shit
Right !
its a dual voice coil subwoofer that this douche used, it has two voice coils and each voice coil was supposed to be 2 ohms. if you parallel them you get 1 ohm, if your un just one coil you have two ohms and if you series them you get 4 ohms. But yeah it all changes as soon as the cone moves.
It doesn't matter because its not doing rated power at any ohm load and Speaker is dual voice coils its how u change ohm load now please get a clue before you hate

That amp is not 1ohm stable
almost 300 dislikes? i didnt even waste my time watchin this
Oh wow...that's horribly off!
I don't know what I expected...
So I connected this amp to 2 4ohm subs, same brand. I think it blew them. Is that possible?
Buster
Dear god, thanks for this video. You guys are awesome!
Nothing about this video is correct! Please don't do it this way, bad information!
You do know once the speaker starts to move it no longer 1,2,4 ohms.
Dont the wires your using make a difference 16 gauge to 4 or 0 gauge 16 gauge speaker wires is whats rated for the 0 gauge 4 is i believe 18 or 17 gauge i really think your not giving that amp a chance with those wires cause i have a planet audio 3000 watts and a weak lanzar 6000 watts hooked up to l7's and that planet audio makes a huge difference between the two also running from 0 gauge wires with a kinetik battery to let the amp breath
Some but boss/planet audio are known for this scam along with Many others
Great vid! Just asking if I can connect (2) dual 4ohm subs to this amp, since it only has speaker outputs for (one) sub. How would I do this, without the amp going into protect mode?
OWN12S yes this amp is stable to 2 ohms, so you would just connect both to the same terminal in parallel
It's called a typo when written by hand on paper?
SA.
So many things wrong here that have already been addressed. I won't bash the cringeworthy lack of electronic knowledge here but the math is semi-useful and the joke at the end is spot-on! I do hope the kid forgets almost everything she learned though.
I think my worst TH-cam video on my channel is better than this one.
Did he just say " mole wienner " ? Oh volt meter , ha ha ohhhh boy.
good info. measured some hi dollar amps with similar results.
It is nice that you work with your daughter, but two people with one mike is not working. Get better microphones, or a room with a better acoustics.
Cool
cheap amps never make rated power, lolz, no tricks can get a cheap amp to make what they claim for RMS, never going to happen..
False advertising. How do they get away with it?
I hate those planet audio anarchy amps there pieces of shit lol
SINGLE voice coil sub magically changes to 1ohm or 2 ohm or 4 ohm impedance WOW ......I SAID SINGLE VOICE COIL !!!!!
He probably wired a resistor in parallel with a subwoofer.
nice job on how to get more out of a cheap amp i usually will match the speakers with the end so it the app says it's a 1500 I usually try to go for like 100 watt speakers RMS to handle that power which will make them sound like it's amazing and when we already is it's a piece of s*** just I have it wired down on some unexpensive subwoofers so it would make that amp sound excellent thanks for the video bro that was good help
That made my day lmao well done
my power acustic still dont do 10k XD
only problem I have with this is how is the speaker wire is it a dual voice coil is a single voice coil is it 2 ohm 4 ohm or 8 ohm all of this counts in ohms law your method needs to be rethought 1 ohm is more powerful than 2 ohm and 2 ohm is more powerful than 4 ohm so it's something missing u have to determine what load the amp is currently at with the speakers ohm age and wattage
Those amps are trash
Calling Bull shit!!!!!
That's the funniest shyt I seen all day!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩
Awesome video and a sub from me
Thanks! Stick around, I'm planning a series of videos showing a start-to-finish install in my 2008 Lincoln MKZ.
Everyone please do not listen to this guy he does not have proper knowledge I understand he's trying to give us information but he has the wrong information he needs to understand what's going on before he actually starts telling other people what to do
Man I'm laughing my ass off!...🤣🤣🤣
didn't you practice this first before you went live?? I can't watch anymore but good luck to you.
and what did you call her before she plugged it in?? I don't care what it was.... don't ever do that again
Add more amps
LMAOOOOOOO!!!!
Lol this video is classic.
This was lame, but I must be honest, it made me laugh lol
😂😂😂
LOL!
🤣🤣
Sigh...........
Wtf
Love dis video. Lol
🤦🏽♂️😤
nice..lol

PROCHAMPIONSHIP BELTS that doesn’t mean that the amps don’t suck something can still work correctly but suck
Wtf🤦♂️
Hahaha great ending
AHAHAH SO GREAT!
hahahah got a good giggle out of this xD
