Extremely Amazing PowerHouse! Super Underrated Massive Clean Power. Pushing a Cerwin-Vega Stroker Pro Classic 15!! Extremely Aggressive! Setting off car alarms. WAY better than my (4) 12's JL Audio on a 1200/1. All day long D'Amore Engineering amps. All day long Cerwin-Vega Stroker Pro Classic. All day long, old school Phoenix Gold Zx350v2 on old school Phoenix Gold XS components. XS components sound better than the Zero Point and the Ti set I had.
Just found out this amp is a rebadged Hifonics A3000.1D. The Clean D tech present on the 1K model (The two chokes on the input and output filters) aren't even present on the 1500.1 model, either.
@@elulysero8863 Want to bet? Same exact board/layout/capacitors. There might be minor differences, but these aren't unique boards in the least. Easy enough to prove by comparing gut shots, but idiots like you just wanna flap your gums without knowing jack shit.
Question - For each of the "certified" tests you had the Fluke Amp meter in front....and at the end of the 4, 2, and 1 Ohm runs you showed an "efficiency" where the Amp values shown there, were not the same as what the meter was showing. What's up with that? If the Fluke was reading the actual amps, where did you get your Amp numbers from?
The fluke keeps reading when the dyno stops because the track continues to play until I hit pause. When editing I play the video frame by frame and use the value shown on the fluke when the dyno locks its numbers in. It's like watching a cars speedometer during a quarter mile run, at the end of the run it might have clocked 95mph official time, but the driver might see 97mph on the dash as he passes the line and transitions to the brake.
Okay, I know I'm probably overthinking this, for 1ohm, where did you get the 140.1A input from for the efficiency ratio eqn? Wasn't the total draw in the circuit loop 170.1A?
The dyno stops reading at 1% distortion, but the progressive track keeps playing and the amp keeps pulling current after the dyno has locked in its readings. I simply pause the video and advance frame by frame to log the amperage at the exact moment the dyno locks in. In this case it was ~140a.
I don't think he states the country they were assembled in. Its not likely the US, if that what your wondering. More likely, China, Korea or Taiwan. It doesn't really matter. They are made to Tony's specs and he verifies it. So your not going to get counterfeit mosfets, etc...
@@Facekicker thanks, I was considering a sundown sfb1500.1, but I have to own something D'amore.( Been into car audio for 30+ years:)& can't afford the REAL DYNO:-))
My question is how efficient is this amp going to be at 12-13.8 volts where majority of people's systems are charging at your running some of these tests at 14.8-14.9 way over the nominal 14.4 an amp is usually rated at or if you get good quality amps Rockford, kicker they will do there rated at 13.8 where my charging system is can this amp do that if it can then I will be impressed but I'm sorry to say if it needs almost 15 volts just to do rated power it's not a good amp I'm not trying to bash the product just saying actually the reason I'm watching the video is because I was wondering about the product I hope this is just a case where you set your voltage to high retry the test at 14.4 maximum and see what it does or lower like 13.5-13.8 if it can do rated power then I will buy it for sure but I'm not going to buy a product that from what I saw here could never outperform the amps I already have
crazy how people dont want to pay for quality, I had a skar rp1500 and a rockford fosgate 1200 in another car. Man I bought the skar amp for a budget build but Once I connected it, It was night and day compared to fosgate. I sold that amo quick, Spend your money right and not buy something because its cheap. buy a used known name brand if you dont have enough to buy a new one
I don't know that this is true - what I do know is that Tony D'Amore designed this board himself specifically for this amp, and it would be very unlikely for him to license anyone else to use his design.
@@Facekicker I will double check, I will have another Exile amp in my hand very soon, but dimension, specs, connector look identical including the board, good chance they came from the same factory
You’re all over d’amores D on this amp. It’s slightly above rated. It’s not like the hcca’s or quality Korean built amps. It’s nice do t get me wrong. It’s just nothing spectacular. Thanks for the video.
Well amplifier manufactures lie 90% of the time. It is just as bad if an amplifier produces more than rated power because they could have just told the honest truth to begin with instead of lying to people. Like the amplifier manufactures don't know what they are producing, yeah right.
@@DTW-bx2vy I definitely agree with you on that point. Just put what the damn thing puts out. I’m not sure why that is so hard? I know this lower quality companies lie about it being way more than it really puts out. It would be nice to get an accurate number right off the bat so you would know if you need to upgrade your electrical system. Which is what I had to do after buying some really high power amps that put out double what they claimed. I appreciate your videos. It’s nice to see what companies are scamming people with their “BOSS” output😂
It's not about just making power. It's about making clean power. Now that everybody has switched over for the most part from class AB it's almost impossible to find a clean sounding amp to power a SQ system. Tony and team have stepped up to fill that gap.
The price is very carefully set. Its not any higher or lower than it should be. If you need something cheaper you would need to find someone making a cheap copy of another amp. Since they put in no design or testing, they have no engineers on the payroll, their final costs are less.
Knew it wouldn't be long before this was on the dyno...Tony always delivers good shit..very nice video J...
I would expect nothing less from Tony. I've been happy with everything I've purchased from him. Hope you had a good vaca
I’ve had mine for three months. It has gone into protect every time I pushed it!! Junk!!!
@@guysgt5003 I'm sorry to hear that. You contact damore?
Thank you sir!
Contact Tony - you may need to just go through some troubleshooting steps, you should have warranty support also.
@@Facekicker i just emailed them. Thanks
Great video. Did all it's rated numbers and then some👍🏼👍🏼
Now that's what you call clean D
That’s a beast of an amp

ordered the E700.4 the day after Tony announced it, looking forward to a dyno of that one.
We have them in stock, I'll add it to my list of amps to run!
@@Facekicker that would be awesome! haven't gotten my shipping notification yet from D'Amore, you got them in stock already?
@@markwentz8332 I guess I spoke to soon, shipped yesterday! I'll get it done as soon as they arrive.
@@Facekicker got the E700.4 in the mail yesterday 😁
Good powerhouse amplifier I think it's worth the money
Definitely 👊
Was waiting for this
Awesome video brotha 💪🏻
Nice test
For anyone with experience with these amplifiers can I strap 2 together or should I run them separately? Trying to reach 4ohms final load?
Sick. Love it
When you get a chance plz DYNO Arc Audio X2 2500.1 ....

Would you please dyno test a Skar Audio - RP-1200.1D mono block amplifier some time in the near future to see if it does rated power?
can you make a video of the lithium batteries youre selling in your website
We've been planning to, I've just been very busy. I'll try to make that more of a priority though. Thank you!

@@geraldlarson5796 No problem!
Great video! Are these amps pretty reliable?
Absolutely.
Makes me want them amps lol sell my old PPI pc450s and J/L xds 1000/5
Where are these amps made? Nice output

Tony designed them and has a contract with a build house in China to manufacture.
Do these amps run hot at all, being skinny and jam packed with all the electronics inside?
Not at all actually
How does it sound on subs?( Assuming excellent since it's D'amore:)
Beautiful
We've installed a few dozen with excellent results every time.
We've used the high level inputs several times also - they work great.

I'd like to hear some testimonials from your customers?
Are these amps still available?
I have a few available still.
Steve mead has a few big amps

can you please do a dyno run on the trauma amplifier TCS-1000.1d please and thank you
1824 dynamic. Thats my guess. I was 50 watts off 🙄
Not bad!
this is the exact same amp (board) as Exile Audio S150.1

Did you know Tony D’Amore was one of a few engineers on the Rockford Fosgate amps back jn the 90’s and early 2000’s
1725 @1ohm
thats my guess.
2600w @1ohm
1750 at 1ohm
Wait! Skar SK1500.1 makes more power and $100 less!?
Lacking a high level input, and the same level of filtering, yes.
Need to lower the price of this by $100 -$150
The price is very carefully set. Its not any higher or lower than it should be. If you need something cheaper you would need to find someone making a cheap copy of another amp. Since they put in no design or testing, they have no engineers on the payroll, their final costs are less.
@@JasonWW2000 Couldn’t have said it better
This amp looks like a skar rp 1500.1
Far far from it 👍
Nice amp but definitely not for the money
449 for 1500 watts kinda expensive! Lots of other stuff going for cheaper and putting out 3k watts!
If used with high level inputs on a stock stereo there is some money saved and some extra value, but you're right.
Cheaper is not better
Jason, could you please check your FB dm's !? Thanks. EDIT- never mind .... :)
