You'll see that those sections, after being populated by the pick-n-place machine and soldered in the oven, are then placed as verticle daughter cards on the amp. They do this to keep induction low by keeping all the signal components closer together. This is typically so they can get away with the cheaper standard 1oz copper layer rather than having to jump to much more expensive heavier weight copper layer, which would be needed if all the parts were laid out over a larger PCB area. Crazy power !

You can see the board he removed. It is a vertical component mount. At 10:51 The initial flyover shows both segments. One is at the upper right of the PCB, likely the input pre-amp section from the location. The other stares you in the face at the above noted timestamp. Vertical PCB sub-assembly mounts conserve main PCB "real estate", and are also useful if the original circuit gets 'massaged' after it initial release without the needed space to implement it and not wanting to perform an entire new layout. They look the same size as the missing pieces you referenced. Easier pick and place and a simple breakout once the PCB gets to the customer for final assembly. Many of these get their thru hole parts put on by hand since the count is not very high and the labor is not very costly.

a c note for rated at 2 ohms/clip is still decent. and it gets close enough for that price. even if the finish quality is.. rough. i'd rank it a flea market king though.
Excellent review, Back on fleab for $112 and Amaz for $233 wow Honestly this budget amp kicks lots of name brand amps you know what. They adv a remote bass knob but is Not. Again Excellent Review on this amp. Even at 1ohm beats namebrands that cant handle the loads. Wow wow wow .
@E Dud interesting, thanks for the comment. I have wondered if the more the more budget friendly D' Amore amplifiers were using cheaper parts & materials... Figured they had to be considering they are priced as low as the $200 range. I had been looking at one of the D' Amore 4 channel amps think it was like $230 or right around that price.

Those break points on the pcb are known as 'mouse bites'. They route the board as normal (the smooth part) and then drill the tab ... then break the board out of the panel after it rides through the reflow line.
Vintage fosgate power is on point for real. I had 2 turtle shell punch power 200x2's trans Anna running 4 - 12's. Also had some vintage alpine anps running my mids and highs.. Man I miss that system..I had a hifi alpine head unit too... It sounded fn excellent..
Those "missing" tabs on the main board were populated and soldered to the main board in a vertical orientation. You can see both of the "missing" sections in your video. One is located near the power input and the other is soldered to the main board near the place where it was "removed."
Hey Big D any possibility you doing a dyno on the Jensen XDA91RB 1200 watt mono amp, I got one for Christmas havent hooked it up yet but curious to see what it could do. Its $98 at walmart which is a steal.
As for your missing "chunks" of PCB, the larger one looks to have been used to make the small vertical daughterboard you can see in the top right corner of the motherboard at 10:48. The smaller chunk may have been used elsewhere, but I can't see it.
The missing board parts are standing soldered vertically smaller piece right by where the chunks are missing in the other piece down to the output side of the amp
Just reliving some old dyno’s. A lot of people don’t know this but I am fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese. I know what that certificate said. It said “YOU BUY NOW!!!!”.
Just an update. Had this installed basic 4ohm load for over a year. This thing has taken all the abuse. Set gains with a scope so it's been loud and clean driving a single 10 in my truck. Every time people hear it they say no way that is just a 10... So far it's lasted longer then my old school Kenwood monoblock.. very happy I found this guy on YT.. what should I upgrade to next
Question? Running 4 dvc 10’s in a large sedan trunk. Can I get 1800rms power for under 200 or even 150? What would you recommend? Do these cheaper amps lack SQ?
Thank you for all your testing and insight. I am searching for an amp to power two Dayton Audio 12” HO DVC subs. They are rated at 700 RMS. Based upon your experience, what two or three options would you suggest?
They used the cutout sections of the main circuit board are use3d for the smaller vertical circuit boards in the amp. That way they can manufacture it all at once (in wave soldering) and save
The pieces that are missing from the board are actually mounted upright on the board there, as soon as I opened the amp, I noticed those pieces fit perfectly there, how did you miss that?
Anyone wanting to know about this amp guts looking like Audiopipe, here is the cross reference into the Audiopipe that is the same as this Wudi : Audiopipe APEL-1200.1
I usually think of long term when buying an amp on impulse. That amp may have performed good but what if it only has one or two good bumps in it then shyts the bed? Sending back to China is a pain. I will only purchase on good reputation amps. Enjoyed the video though 👍
Love the channel, have a question for everyone. Ok so most cars with sunroofs have those pressure vents in the rear corner panels near the trunk and bumper. Now im running 6.5ft3 enclosure with 2 sa15d4rev3 in a 2020 koa Optima special edition. Took my intire trunk. Those little vents vibrate so bad and is very annoying. Cant block them and you dont want to remove them as they are extremely important. Has anyone come up with a solution to slow the flow of air without blocking them but killing the vibrating flap noise. Thought about fiberglass batting of some sort or a mesh that allow air flow but very slow?
Good Day Sir i have purchased one WUDI 8801.D when test it and switched it ON ,it turns ON the protect LED LIGHT first before the POWER LED LIHTS ON,is it normal Sir,thwnk you for the answer,,God Bless
Those missing sections ARE actually on the amp. They do things like this so that those knock out sections can all get soldered in the same process through the wave solder machine. Then all the have to do is knock them out, and solder the knock out boards in the appropriate places manually.
Greetings Big D Wiz.... from another Big D..... BIGDOGBRODAVE of ONE CALL INSTALL here out of Honolulu Hawaii... I started installing here in 1973 when the BIG CHEAP AMP.... was a underdash EQ box with 25 watts... and a FADER!!!!.... I came along at a time when cars typically had only one speaker in the dash and a AM radio so.... quite the improvement. I am currently building an AUDIOMOBILE RACK system.... for fun. I have been watching your videos and I wonder HOW the REAL old school amps actually perform on that Dyno there. I am sure the readings would be underwhelming to most viewers of these times but back in the late 70's to actually have 100 WATTS to power them "100 watt" Jensen TRIAXIALS.... well... People knew.... I owned a pair of MINDBLOWER 6x9 speakers back in the 70's in my 70 Challenger. PERFECT TRUNK for them.... Hunting for them as of late as well as AUDIOMOBILE GEAR. That being said, I recall YOU have a SA 1600 system amp. I wonder if that could be tested. I am IMPRESSED with this WUDI as it appears to be the modern version of the JET SOUND product. Coming from Asia BUT on the low end, I recognize that FONT... in my nightmares..LOL..... JET SOUND products were synonymous with ENGINE NOISE.... I learned a lot of tricks to eliminate engine noise thanks to JET SOUND..... ugggggg..... I LOVE this video so I came out of hiding to give it and YOU a BIG TWO THUMBS UP...... Love your work... Great narration... YOU BIG DUMMY!!!!!!....LOL..... Keep up the great work and you be SAFE and BOOM on... TEST an old AUDIOMOBILE and a ZAPCO... a CRAIG... the 72 watt Powerplay... that thing... and a 500 watt CONCORD if ya can find one.... they blew up a lot.... SANYO... was a VERY EARLY contributor as well as PIONEER... that GM-120 was the best... the Component PIONEER..... back in the 70's... I installed the very FIRST CD PLAYER ever made for a CAR in America, a CDX-P1 made by Pioneer... in Art Rubensteins car a Mercedes, Later I installed the very first CELLULAR PHONE in Art's car. He was the Pioneer rep here back in the daze... His FIRST CELL BILL was over 1200,00 dollars...... I remember his distress...LOL.... Hawaii was the TEST BED for Cellular technology thus.... it came here first them... BOOM.... more BOOM....LOL.... WELL It's 2021 and the cheap POWER is WUDI... and the other end... CRITICAL MASS and maybe ABYSS... a few others... It still amazes me how much power engineers these days squeek out of a 12 volt antique... POWER ON!!!!!! Aloha BDBD
That's the problem that I am having. I am shopping for a high power amp for my bass and subs for my home. You see an amp that stated 2000 watts but when you get to reading all the spec it looks like the amp will only reach that power output about four seconds before it explodes.
I mean, a lot of what is checked on this channel is wayyy off. But at 4 ohms, it's still less than 20% off(18 and 14% under), then at 2 ohms, it's only 6.7 and .11% under. Do any of these provide variances at all? these may still be within what should be epxected.
Not to shabby! I just bought a little budget system with 2 10" Sundowns Ev3. Needs around 1000 @1. This is definitely an option for a Benjamin. Thanks!
They just came back on eBay 122 to 126$ I hada try it! I'm a low budget no budget guy,doing the impossible! Anyone been there?? I appreciate your vids Big D! Really doing a huge service,my man! Drive on!
this amp is a repairmans dream come true if you know what to look for. the audio output generation circuit is isolated by optocouplers from the actual drivers and final stage hence damage never goes further than the optocouplers! in my experience its the closest ive seen to modularity in an amp build. this board design is quite generic and generally makes 1500w @1ohm. there are weak spots tho and could and should be beefed up before use. if anybody has Perrys guide, its generic class D type 4
@@FreeStyle786 this one has some good glue on the transformer winds to minimize vibration. also the board is screwed down the middle which helps a ton in the long run. both the driver card will need supports tho. other than that looks like the amp will do well in the long run
Hey Big D can you explain the differences in Amps? The first 840 certified run at 2 ohms had a 92.8 A draw but when you measured the efficiency you showed a 79 A draw. I think I noticed this on several of your tests. What am I missing? Are you doing a special efficiency test in the background or something? Why didn't you just measure teh efficiency with the first run of 92.8 amps? Thanks Bro! As always, I enjoy your reviews.
Now I’ve been into ham radio/cb radio for years we can usually get more power output by changing something like a cap or cut a resistor or something could you do something like that to these amps to get more power out of them? Them Chinese say it’ll do 6800 watts there’s gotta be something to tweak to make it do more
I had this amp at the time labeled Mr. Musicman. It was very reliable and powerful and only met it's demise when exposed to water during a rainstorm when I opened my trunk. My bad

In a regular cab mini truck..those were the days..bean bag chairs in the bed and glow in the dark stars on the roof of the shell Kid sensation is Back to boom! Dj bass boy Techmaster PEB Then came DJ magic Mike and mc madness. Ohh shitt. Buddies all ran exotic boxes. 4th order bandpasess. I loved conventional boxes. Had to retro vent Oh I ran a eclipse touch screen tape player. For a long time..Into the CD age..no one was cutting CDs? So I could make sweet 90 minute mix tapes for partying by the fire in the desert or the river. Everyone would bring me a cd and say play this...I would say I can't it's a tape player? What ?

I bought one of these widi 8808.1D amps thanks to your tutorial. I must say I'm impressed. I paid a hundred bucks on eBay and the amount of bass it produces I had to buy another one
Is it still working?!
@@mrfkyobitch6282 u talking about a rz1-2500d? If so your crqzy I have 3 of em and they are good but even at 1 ohm they only put out 750-900watts rms. Don't get me wrong I love this little amp hence why I have 3 but the amp in the video is alot more powerful
Big D, Wudi saw your dyno of their other amp and said "Naw man we can't go out like that". Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Go Gamecocks
@@escalerajermel That's right. Go Cocks!
The broken off sections of the board are the 2 pieces used as daughter boards on the amp.
Yep.
I have no idea what a daughter board is. Can you explain it in super laymen’s terms.
@@dtmfool789 - Those two little boards sticking up (vertical). One of them is right next to the cutouts.
edit: @ 10:50
@@dtmfool789 its any separate pcb that integrates with the main board by pins or cables.
The two pieces, one for the audio driver board and the switching driver board.
Things have changed, 1300 watts at 1 ohm would've been 1300 skins back in the day this is 100 - ish shipped
Something about watching 4+ subs moving together is so satisfying
Yea u would shit ur pants if u seen 8+ 😆
@@TheCustomEverythingChannel I just put 8 - 8s in my daughter's Nitro lol
the chunks out of the board are the driver cards , its a way to save cost in making them i guess .
You can see the board he removed. It is a vertical component mount. At 10:51 The initial flyover shows both segments. One is at the upper right of the PCB, likely the input pre-amp section from the location. The other stares you in the face at the above noted timestamp. Vertical PCB sub-assembly mounts conserve main PCB "real estate", and are also useful if the original circuit gets 'massaged' after it initial release without the needed space to implement it and not wanting to perform an entire new layout. They look the same size as the missing pieces you referenced. Easier pick and place and a simple breakout once the PCB gets to the customer for final assembly. Many of these get their thru hole parts put on by hand since the count is not very high and the labor is not very costly.

Can't find the amp anywhere just 4-channel a/b 😒
I love the way you explained everything bad or wrong or good about those cheap amp.
I try to do that in every video 👍
So reminds me of the Old school Punch45 ❤
I'm talking about the early 90s Punch 45s
a c note for rated at 2 ohms/clip is still decent. and it gets close enough for that price. even if the finish quality is.. rough. i'd rank it a flea market king though.
Those broken off peices are the daughterboards on the amp, just easier to print it all at once
Was going to say the exact thing.. those boards are in the amp.. just have to look for them :D
Excellent review,
Back on fleab for $112 and Amaz for $233 wow
Honestly this budget amp kicks lots of name brand amps you know what.
They adv a remote bass knob but is Not.
Again Excellent Review on this amp.
Even at 1ohm beats namebrands that cant handle the loads. Wow wow wow .
same brand of caps as the D'amore amp you just tested.👍
Yes it was your right ! I didn’t notice it until you said that and D’amore is suppose to be nice stuff far as I know !
@E Dud interesting, thanks for the comment. I have wondered if the more the more budget friendly D' Amore amplifiers were using cheaper parts & materials... Figured they had to be considering they are priced as low as the $200 range. I had been looking at one of the D' Amore 4 channel amps think it was like $230 or right around that price. (I don't remember the exact price but you can find the on the D' amore site) Idk if I should pass on it & look for a better 4 channel, just curious about the quality of a D' Amore amp priced in the $200 range brand new. 🤔
@@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128 Yep I think im going to buy a couple of them anyway because you know Tony had to have done his homework when picking out all the internals he doesnt want anything coming back🤣I bet he did alot of testing I was sold when Steve Meade put the 350.2 and the 750.1 on the dyno they did outrageous numbers👍
open a hole in the planet! ma man, u da real MVP!!! you gets a thumps UP!!!
👌😝👍
Holy Hell Big D! A $100? These are remarkable numbers from WUDI. We appreciate all that you do. Better believe I'm getting one. $100? Jesus.
I think they are sold out...bummer
back in stock EBAY $126
Can you do some 20hz or 25hz tests on your amp dynos to see which amps can really slam the lows and which ones fall on their face?
I don't really see why that would matter. In a Hifi amp running on AC it would show how much power the power supply can store but here with DC it should be the same at 40 Hz in my world.
Every full bridge amp dives below 50 hz. Check out emf audio great vid
@@christopherparis6841 just curious how different brands perform at lower frequencies. I know theyll all reproduce those frequencies but i want to see which ones really push the lows amd which ones push less at the lower frequencies.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix emf audio takes a flat volume test track and feeds amps many tones at each their single frequency each at equal zero db difference and the amp output graphed on an osilicscope measuring for equal output on all recorded tracks any who might be best to check his vid yourself. Emf audio. The zero db test tone disc is key not a download or file saved device a purpose made cd. Humans hear to 20 Hz so I think he tested tramps then said its consistent to full bridge mono amps because in theory the full bridge is basically the same as two class ab amps strapped as one it actually changes a fkn ton reasons a pure d class is made the full bridge is not so foolproof as vibration or impact can be an issue fire in rare cases lol. Watch Orion vs sundown amp Dyno or 3 k amp shoot out it's very clear Orion takes the cake the light n the others missed the damn show lol. Price power build and Soo much more fkn hits 14 k rms or very close. My guy down the road bought one he's smoked around 15 ok r 20 subs lol. Vfl comp godfather signatures are taking a first time knob spinning turning up when he pulls out kinda kid n I know too well it's only a matter of time their 5 k rms per sub dual one subs .25 load amp doesn't even know I mean there's 3 0ga power ins and 3 0ga grounds Dyno pulled 1000 amps reset a fluke amp clamp at 13.8 at .5 ohm it's the smallest hcca amp Orion offers lol fkn unreal at one ohm on amp fkers one of the tippy top in no distortion for an sq build I'll not buy any other amp even the xtr series is like 3 x it's rated lol
Dawn you have to be the very first person to watch to get one of these amps that are a good value it seems like 5min after video played there gone and you will never find them again. 👍✌️👌 Big d sales amps by the ton if they were to give him 1percent of every sell he would be a multi million.
There all over ebay guy
Those break points on the pcb are known as 'mouse bites'. They route the board as normal (the smooth part) and then drill the tab ... then break the board out of the panel after it rides through the reflow line.
How often does your test equipment need recalibration/recertification?
Pink Panther boom tube is the bomb:) wish I ownd the cd from back in the day
100 bucks is a win. My question is how long would you suspect it would last? I got a 92 rockford fosgate 800.2 still going
I'd check your caps and stuff to make sure they don't fry on ya. Age even gets to quality stuff over time.
I've been using a ZR 1000 for over 20 years.
700s on sub's,400s on mids, highs still pounding since 2002. Fosgate got my Respect.
I def would not run this thing in a vehicle without adding an external fuse, as it doesn't come with one.
Vintage fosgate power is on point for real. I had 2 turtle shell punch power 200x2's trans Anna running 4 - 12's. Also had some vintage alpine anps running my mids and highs..
Man I miss that system..I had a hifi alpine head unit too...
It sounded fn excellent..
So where do they get the 6800 watt rating? Is there any amplifier companies out there that tells the truth? Do a video on that.
WUDI WOOO!
Those "missing" tabs on the main board were populated and soldered to the main board in a vertical orientation. You can see both of the "missing" sections in your video. One is located near the power input and the other is soldered to the main board near the place where it was "removed."
I use your channel to escape politics! 🔊
No bloodsuckers here!
I also use channels Harry Mack, Nandi Bushell and Whistlin Diesel.
It wasn't 3000..
@Cherokee By Blood SIGMA INFJ i hope so, or this channel not worth watching.....
dude I love this channel. shame I hadn't known about it before. will support u and buy some merchandise
Awesome review. I would love to see you testing one of the new U1 SoundQubed amps.
899 lmfao they ain’t right! I guessed 1200 when I saw the 4ohm load definitely worth the $$$
Hey Big D any possibility you doing a dyno on the Jensen XDA91RB 1200 watt mono amp, I got one for Christmas havent hooked it up yet but curious to see what it could do. Its $98 at walmart which is a steal.
arent those cutouts the 2 little vertical circuit boards that are cut out and moved to shorten or make pathing easier ?
Well it looks like there is a new king of budget amps.
Wow surprise surprise! 🤣Good video Big D!💯
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Flirting with 5 cents per watt here. Impressive. Looks like there are four left at $110 apiece as if 1:15mst. Good luck folks!
As for your missing "chunks" of PCB, the larger one looks to have been used to make the small vertical daughterboard you can see in the top right corner of the motherboard at 10:48. The smaller chunk may have been used elsewhere, but I can't see it.
10:43
one beside the cut out, the other on the top right at the output
The missing board parts are standing soldered vertically smaller piece right by where the chunks are missing in the other piece down to the output side of the amp
What the WUDI redemption is going on here? I expect to see 2 of these in the Hot Rod!
Put some paneling on the sides it could be the WUDI wagon
Just reliving some old dyno’s. A lot of people don’t know this but I am fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese. I know what that certificate said. It said “YOU BUY NOW!!!!”.
😂👍
For the price, it’s a steal!
no it's not, because the real price is at least $200.
Just an update. Had this installed basic 4ohm load for over a year. This thing has taken all the abuse. Set gains with a scope so it's been loud and clean driving a single 10 in my truck. Every time people hear it they say no way that is just a 10... So far it's lasted longer then my old school Kenwood monoblock.. very happy I found this guy on YT.. what should I upgrade to next
Another 10 in parallel 😊
The cutouts missing from the amp board was a money saver. I'm sure the missing pieces are parts for the 4 check version
The broken off/"missing" parts of the PCB are used for the two vertical daughter boards.
Question?
Running 4 dvc 10’s in a large sedan trunk. Can I get 1800rms power for under 200 or even 150? What would you recommend? Do these cheaper amps lack SQ?
The Low Pass/ Subsonic filter comment killed me! I LOL'd.
Is class D better than AB. I want to feel the chest punch. What should I do?
Thank you for all your testing and insight. I am searching for an amp to power two Dayton Audio 12” HO DVC subs. They are rated at 700 RMS. Based upon your experience, what two or three options would you suggest?
Rockford Fosgate T1500bdcp would be at the top of my list
@@wal thank you!!!
Depends on your budget.
Goodlord that .5ohm test trying to kill the wudi but it passed🤣🤣🤣I'm very impressed the price bout to double after this🤣🤣
I tried to kill it in video!
Love the video. Wish I could find a amp there all sold out lol. Keep it up man doing great.
WUDI owes me some commissions!
They used the cutout sections of the main circuit board are use3d for the smaller vertical circuit boards in the amp. That way they can manufacture it all at once (in wave soldering) and save
Those chunks missing are your vertical boards so they don't have to print those separately. Notice how they are the same size as the slots missing
I think you are right in that observation.
After this vid they are going to pump the price double for sure
The pieces that are missing from the board are actually mounted upright on the board there, as soon as I opened the amp, I noticed those pieces fit perfectly there, how did you miss that?
thank god for this guy, can't trust power ratings on any amps anymore kinda sad.
Anyone wanting to know about this amp guts looking like Audiopipe, here is the cross reference into the Audiopipe that is the same as this Wudi :
Audiopipe APEL-1200.1
👌😬👍
I usually think of long term when buying an amp on impulse. That amp may have performed good but what if it only has one or two good bumps in it then shyts the bed? Sending back to China is a pain. I will only purchase on good reputation amps. Enjoyed the video though 👍
Same here, after my pioneer 5 channel amp Big D tested blew up twice i decided to go with proven quality
Sir do you think it will handle a pair of 15s kicker cvr?
Wow, incredible little cheap amp. Pretty impressive
that one vertical daughterboard is snapped off of the main and used for... something on there built on the vertical chip
Love the channel, have a question for everyone. Ok so most cars with sunroofs have those pressure vents in the rear corner panels near the trunk and bumper. Now im running 6.5ft3 enclosure with 2 sa15d4rev3 in a 2020 koa Optima special edition. Took my intire trunk. Those little vents vibrate so bad and is very annoying. Cant block them and you dont want to remove them as they are extremely important. Has anyone come up with a solution to slow the flow of air without blocking them but killing the vibrating flap noise. Thought about fiberglass batting of some sort or a mesh that allow air flow but very slow?
Excellent review on Chinese amps. I've had "3800w" mono Wudi amps before but they went boom connected to just 1.5 Ohm load.
This one was a big surprise!
Test power bass Pb-1.8800D monoblock amp

my wudi blew soon as i turned it on ,,,3200, might try this one
@@joshhacker3926 Never run amps at their rated spec. Always run below-spec for optimal efficiency and reliability.
How would this amp work for 2:15 l7rs kicker Solo-Baric in a in a 92 2-door Blazer are which app would you recommend
Good Day Sir i have purchased one WUDI 8801.D when test it and switched it ON ,it turns ON the protect LED LIGHT first before the POWER LED LIHTS ON,is it normal Sir,thwnk you for the answer,,God Bless
Those missing sections ARE actually on the amp. They do things like this so that those knock out sections can all get soldered in the same process through the wave solder machine. Then all the have to do is knock them out, and solder the knock out boards in the appropriate places manually.
It's numbers closely mirror the numbers for the old school audio pipe 1500.1
What is the difference between dynamic and certified.
Greetings Big D Wiz.... from another Big D..... BIGDOGBRODAVE of ONE CALL INSTALL here out of Honolulu Hawaii... I started installing here in 1973 when the BIG CHEAP AMP.... was a underdash EQ box with 25 watts... and a FADER!!!!.... I came along at a time when cars typically had only one speaker in the dash and a AM radio so.... quite the improvement. I am currently building an AUDIOMOBILE RACK system.... for fun. I have been watching your videos and I wonder HOW the REAL old school amps actually perform on that Dyno there. I am sure the readings would be underwhelming to most viewers of these times but back in the late 70's to actually have 100 WATTS to power them "100 watt" Jensen TRIAXIALS.... well... People knew.... I owned a pair of MINDBLOWER 6x9 speakers back in the 70's in my 70 Challenger. PERFECT TRUNK for them.... Hunting for them as of late as well as AUDIOMOBILE GEAR. That being said, I recall YOU have a SA 1600 system amp. I wonder if that could be tested. I am IMPRESSED with this WUDI as it appears to be the modern version of the JET SOUND product. Coming from Asia BUT on the low end, I recognize that FONT... in my nightmares..LOL..... JET SOUND products were synonymous with ENGINE NOISE.... I learned a lot of tricks to eliminate engine noise thanks to JET SOUND..... ugggggg..... I LOVE this video so I came out of hiding to give it and YOU a BIG TWO THUMBS UP...... Love your work... Great narration... YOU BIG DUMMY!!!!!!....LOL..... Keep up the great work and you be SAFE and BOOM on... TEST an old AUDIOMOBILE and a ZAPCO... a CRAIG... the 72 watt Powerplay... that thing... and a 500 watt CONCORD if ya can find one.... they blew up a lot.... SANYO... was a VERY EARLY contributor as well as PIONEER... that GM-120 was the best... the Component PIONEER..... back in the 70's... I installed the very FIRST CD PLAYER ever made for a CAR in America, a CDX-P1 made by Pioneer... in Art Rubensteins car a Mercedes, Later I installed the very first CELLULAR PHONE in Art's car. He was the Pioneer rep here back in the daze... His FIRST CELL BILL was over 1200,00 dollars...... I remember his distress...LOL.... Hawaii was the TEST BED for Cellular technology thus.... it came here first them... BOOM.... more BOOM....LOL.... WELL It's 2021 and the cheap POWER is WUDI... and the other end... CRITICAL MASS and maybe ABYSS... a few others... It still amazes me how much power engineers these days squeek out of a 12 volt antique... POWER ON!!!!!! Aloha BDBD
Big D, any info on the harmony audio monolith woofers and harmony amps?
That's the problem that I am having. I am shopping for a high power amp for my bass and subs for my home. You see an amp that stated 2000 watts but when you get to reading all the spec it looks like the amp will only reach that power output about four seconds before it explodes.
I looked like for that price it's worth it and it would be great if the saying was more compact I love your channel I'm also old school
👌😬👍
Can you have a video test of a Massive Audio amp? Like the P1200.1D
I'm impressed for sure! I will order a couple of those asap. Thanks big d
You order any?
@@mugs2169 not yet, within the next couple weeks
I mean, a lot of what is checked on this channel is wayyy off. But at 4 ohms, it's still less than 20% off(18 and 14% under), then at 2 ohms, it's only 6.7 and .11% under. Do any of these provide variances at all? these may still be within what should be epxected.
Makes me want a wudi over blowpunk for my first upgrade. Impressive.
Late to the party but I found these amps on aliexpress for $85 with $0 shipping - might have to pick one up
Not to shabby! I just bought a little budget system with 2 10" Sundowns Ev3. Needs around 1000 @1. This is definitely an option for a Benjamin. Thanks!
They are sold out at the moment but yeah hopefully they come back at the same price
They just came back on eBay 122 to 126$ I hada try it! I'm a low budget no budget guy,doing the impossible! Anyone been there?? I appreciate your vids Big D! Really doing a huge service,my man! Drive on!
But how clean is the power and will it hold up after playing for a while?
this amp is a repairmans dream come true if you know what to look for. the audio output generation circuit is isolated by optocouplers from the actual drivers and final stage hence damage never goes further than the optocouplers!
in my experience its the closest ive seen to modularity in an amp build. this board design is quite generic and generally makes 1500w @1ohm. there are weak spots tho and could and should be beefed up before use.
if anybody has Perrys guide, its generic class D type 4
Beefed up how?
@@FreeStyle786 this one has some good glue on the transformer winds to minimize vibration. also the board is screwed down the middle which helps a ton in the long run. both the driver card will need supports tho. other than that looks like the amp will do well in the long run
Hey Big D can you explain the differences in Amps? The first 840 certified run at 2 ohms had a 92.8 A draw but when you measured the efficiency you showed a 79 A draw. I think I noticed this on several of your tests. What am I missing? Are you doing a special efficiency test in the background or something? Why didn't you just measure teh efficiency with the first run of 92.8 amps? Thanks Bro! As always, I enjoy your reviews.
Looking for a budget amp for a 1300 Watt single 10. Do you have a recommendation?
hello i like your videos what is a good small affordable amp for a bagger harley davidson to push two 8's or two 10's in the saddlebags?????
Now I’ve been into ham radio/cb radio for years we can usually get more power output by changing something like a cap or cut a resistor or something could you do something like that to these amps to get more power out of them? Them Chinese say it’ll do 6800 watts there’s gotta be something to tweak to make it do more
Yeah, they're not like a cobra 29 that'll swing to 15 watts after tune lol
I had this amp at the time labeled Mr. Musicman. It was very reliable and powerful and only met it's demise when exposed to water during a rainstorm when I opened my trunk. My bad
9:05 don’t take away the flex 💪
We love to see dem subs bumb yo!
Also, it actually nice to see the subs moving then hear what you thought about the performance 😉 please bring back this segment.
