Man we've been telling them for years they need real 0ga inputs on their 3kW amps! I also got one of these recently and I'm working on testing it now on the Amp Dyno. We'll see how it does compared to your in vehicle test. Either way that was pretty crazy! I'll send people to your vid for the subwoofer demo part. Keep bassing on!
Big D yeeeee and Park Shout out from theeee trenches Back of the Yards Chiraq my Taramps MD 1800.2ohm on a nemesis Fierce 15 dv4 blew 2 boxes out of commission big pressure. You'll ever tried nemesis from Texas
Defenitly a great Idea. last October I picked up a 13w7 at a pawn shop for $200. Nothing wrong except a scratched cone (from bad a## kids). And the box ugly as hell Paired with a market place DD M1D it was putting in work
I have a smart 8k bass that I didn't want to buy, but surge audio doesn't know when the ps7000 will be back in stock. I listen to it rather loud for an hour to and from work 6 days for the last 4 months. No problems. Maybe not loud enough cause I never see the clip light and the fans rarely turn. Usually when it was hot out and sitting in direct sunlight for about 7 hours through the back hatch window. It's much more powerful than my mmats 4000.1.
Just ordered one today thanks to your review!! I've had taramps before and was pleased then no complaints, was thinking about going another route just for kicks until I seen this 😂
@@LatvianVideo yeah it seem like for him he is more instrested in real world results which a lot of ppl are which is fair but yea the dyno results are still cool to see
@ParkerTheBasshead- I think a lot of people would really like to see you show the SPL score, and power/impedance, @ that peak freq., of this Smart Bass 3k Big Boss, vs the Smart Bass 8k, vs the Deaf Bonce Aak 20,000.1, all wired to 1/2 ohm, on your 8- Avatar 15's.

For that dollar amount it is an insane amount of power. I come from a time where everything was a dollar a watt. 100 watts, $100 dollars. I started my bass hunger at 14 years old in 1985 so everything was expensive. And $100 in 1985 is like $600 today.
Dude that thing is insane ! Love the lights def a fun touch and man power!!!!!!! Glad to see them stepping it up for the big power for subs! You and big D have def been such a influence on what I’ve put in my rides and buy! F yeah!
@jase1911 budget budget budget I know I want it too, but I can get 5 smart 8k for the cost of a mint warhorse. I will talk with Derek and see if he will let me run his for non-competitive shows.

Looks nice. I am in the market for something in the 3k-8k range for a budget build and may consider this. I'll make sure to use you link if I do. Appreciate your videos.
It has the same inputs as other Smart amps im pretty sure, he used "oversized" wire that was already twisted so it was much thicker. If he had cut off the end then It would fit, and the 4 gauge adapter was in there pretty loose
@@1ohmwreckerjust use a reducer.. you use ring terminals on the end of 0/1 gauge wire without asking questions, just use a solid 0 to 4 gauge reducer... i use copper sky high reducers... ive burried my clip light on my smart 3 bass for days smashing a set of u series 15s. ... fqqn thing doesnt even get warm to the touch... my coils get a lil warm tho.. 👀 i bought a second smart 3 bass for that problem tho.. why not?? theyre $270... Thank you Taramps, for like 12 cents per watt!!!!
Never blew a taramps amp due to the way they were made but have blown them to the way I was using them, however never once did I have a single 1 go up in smoke, but I have had many other brands go up in smoke,
Wish I watched this before I just ordered the same amp. I'm going to attempt to run it on 2 Skar 10" svr D4. I have a feeling this amp will destroy the subs.
Yes the tar amp 8k smart on 4 shar vxf12s slammed my Dodge Twice as loud and low like hell my 400 amp alternator did 19 volts never dropped below 13.8 voltage
So would you run two of those over that Deaf Bonce that you ran at the show? I’ve never ran any Brazilian amps let alone Taramps. I’m a half bridge guy and probably always will be. Love your content though Parker. Always putting our great videos that really put equipment to the test
You got me regretting buying the nvx 2700 amp. Anyways man, thanks for posting. Your vids have helped me figure out what I want to buy. I ended up buying the xv3 15 from one of your vids hope the amp I just got is enough. I really dont want to buy another amp just yet. I am gonna put the Sundown in the skar box, and post a short on it. I am certain its gonna ruffle some feathers.
I’m ordering this. As I watch this I seen this amp today and went nuts at work. I sold my last amp and been waiting since. But guess who’s broke next week😁
My eyes just about popped out of my head when I saw 7k+ watts on that small ass thing. That's crazy man such cheap watts these days compared to back in the days. Very cool. I recently bought a red recoil 1200 2 channel for 150. It bumps hard af. I love these value driven companies.
The only thing I wonder is how hot will the amp get when being used for 20 minutes. Not at ear breaking sound levels, say about 70%. My friend melted the back of his seats in his truck
Fairly sure that they have proper 1/0 terminals on some of their bigger amps. A bit disappointing that they haven't included on the smaller ones (I have a Smart3 Bass).
Seems like its a smart amp without the regulated output and built to take its full power 🤷♂️ if that's what it is I can't wait til the bigger versions are out 🙃
@@RealPivotTVyea full bridge only needs half the components as a half bridge to make the same power. But I still think the internals look a little lack luster.
Those two small fire extinguisher is just not enough to save a car from burn down I put a fire out system in to just a fast pull and everything out for $300 is worth the money.
I wanna see amp dyno that be SICK !!! I got the smart 3BASS and that is wicked unit for my truck wonder if this would be just that more louder ? But as always keep bassing on
Don’t forget Parker has the electrical and battery cells to run this and much bigger amps. If you don’t have upgraded electrical you probably won’t even see 3k.
Dude I love all of your content and I follow heavily!! I recently switched from a txp18000.1 on 2 ma5 15’s to a taramps big boss 3 and from what I’ve watched I won’t be disappointed with the switch??
Different company... but all Brazilian amps are basically the same... Still wouldn't trust them... to many vehicles burned 🔥 to the ground because of them
I have an honest question because I’m not as knowledgeable about subs, I’m thinking about purchasing a sub with 8 gauge wire as the leads on it, how would I wire it in a prefab sealed box?
They also are coming out with a 5 and 8K, insane power out of such small packages. Taramps is stepping it up.
this amp jus did 8621 @ 1.5 ohms
on music
How much loot $$
@@DJJDSKREWEDwhich amp the 5k?
no the one in this video@@ElevatedVehicles
theyve done alot of work cleaning up theyre amps and cleaning up the dirty power issues they used to have
I've been wanting that amp since I seen it released. Taramps makes great amps. I had an md1800 that was absolutely amazing.

I'd like to see a longer term test. Maybe a month of daily use. Not clipping but maxing it out. See it can handle it.

Now i wanna see big d wiz put it on his dyno to see some accurate numbers, i expect it to be very impressive
Probably pull 10k pulse on the dyno with it if I remember correctly he got like 13k from the first smart 3 on 1 of the runs
Dyno numbers aren’t accurate because of rise and rise varies from application to application

I am far from the biggest Taramps fanboy but your video really makes me want to go buy one of these. You're the man Parker. Keep it up!
Have you forgotten about all the vehicles that burned due to Brazilian amps... taramps included

Yessir!
Great review as always.. Do you think you could do a review on the company from Italy, SP Audio?
Big D should do a amp dyno on this amp
I agree!
He just did today
He already has on the Smart 3 Bass, this is the same amp but with built in LEDs
Yo that thing is putting out some serious juice! Wow 7k in that footprint is pretty bad ass😮
That’s a pretty dope amp! And the LEDs are sick also! 🔈🔥

Keep doing awesome, love the energy of your videos and the information really does help. Bass on brother 👍
So it's basically the smart series, with small MD hookups, and lights lol. I'd rather have bigger inputs than the lights🤷♂️
It has the same inputs as other Smart amps im pretty sure, he used "oversized" wire that was already twisted so it was much thicker. If he had cut off the end then It would fit, and the 4 gauge adapter was in there pretty loose
@@kubaz2308 I got a smart 3k in one of my vehicles. I got 2/0 welding wire to fit, but I had to use the zip tie trick.
@@1ohmwreckerjust use a reducer..
you use ring terminals on the end of 0/1 gauge wire without asking questions, just use a solid 0 to 4 gauge reducer... i use copper sky high reducers...
ive burried my clip light on my smart 3 bass for days smashing a set of u series 15s. ... fqqn thing doesnt even get warm to the touch...
my coils get a lil warm tho..
👀
i bought a second smart 3 bass for that problem tho.. why not?? theyre $270...
Thank you Taramps, for like 12 cents per watt!!!!
simple fix is to drill the terminal to fit the wire since its only needs a tiny bit more of a bigger hole .
Lots of power to be so small 🔥🔥🔥 LEDS was crazy cool too. Great video bro
The 8 15" seem to be playing good off the lower power.. should be able to do 1 off 1K amp and be fine
I've considered Taramps or CT audio. Just got a kicker cxa1200.1 for $400 and this is more than twice RMS for $100 less
I own that same vehicle of sequoia..I want a similar set up, with the seats no 3rd row
Yeah that’s what I had before. Had 6 12s then 2 18s
Never blew a taramps amp due to the way they were made but have blown them to the way I was using them, however never once did I have a single 1 go up in smoke, but I have had many other brands go up in smoke,
Takes a second for the currently limiting to come on probably making it hit the huge numbers on bursts

Wow that little thing is a monster
This has me this close 👌🏽 to swapping from. The 8000md to this you should do a full bench dyno w both to help make my decision 😂
I’d wait until the big boss 5k and 8k comes out. I doubt the 3k would last as long as an MD8k being pushed that hard

taramps legit ! getting close to orion hcca numbers i have a smart 5 bass sitting while im running a hcca 3k getting 7k from it clamped on music
so which means the 8k might do 10k clean
I wouldn’t be surprised!
Owned the smart 3K excellent amp I'll probably purchase the 5K next time😊
I wish they could make a 5ch amplifier
Damn, little amp is pushing. I think i'll stick with my hifonics zues gamma amp though 😉

Nice system where can i get that clipping indicator?
I've been doing my best to give myself every reason not to buy it but I couldn't do it anymore so its ordered:)
I'd be a multi-millionaire had I invested every penny I have invested in car audio since high school and I assure I'm not alone 😂
I have two Stu-1246 avatar subs. I would you recommend two of theses or a different amp with clean power
Taramps to the world 🌎
i was debating on a big boss or a smart k. which one would you guys recommend
I seen 8600 on the music test...❤
FUNNY ENOUGH I’ve got a sequoia I’ve got 2 sundown sa 12s in needing a smart 3k for them!!!

Would this amp push 2 American Bass Hawk 12’s? I hooked my buddy’s car up and he’s got the Smart 3k on the Hawks 12’s but it sounds under powered
Hoping to see a big boss 8 video since they just released
Do a review on the taraamps 4000x4 please
daaanggg!! wish this beast can ship to my country and sadly it cannot in Amazon
"Boss" ?? What were they. Thinking ? 😂
Think you will get the boss 5 and 8 to test
Now , can I test it out for a bit hahah
They have it in a 5k and 8k too!!❤
Gotta have the proper electricity to run them like that though that's the only con.
