Datasat doesn’t just make equipment, that’s the parent company of DTS, one of the biggest innovators in cinema sound. They make the audio codec that a lot of your movies use for sound
Yes and I don't believe this product is an "official" DATASAT product. I'm waiting to hear back from them
Datasat isn't the parent company of DTS. Datasat is DTS' old cinema division.
In 2008, DTS divested themselves of their cinema division, forming the separate company DTS Digital Cinema. In 2009, it was purchased and renamed Datasat.
DTS' parent is Xperi (a tech holding company).
You don't MAKE a codec, you WRITE one. A codec is a software program.
@@lyfandeth Are you saying that someone who writes a piece of software doesn't make it?
@@lyfandeth we get all of that, I was making a larger point about the size, scope, and importance of DTS, now owned by xperi
It’s the same irs2092 iraudamp circuit used in many name brand amplifiers out. Great little amp, the ps fets and output fets are cheap and available. The irs2092 is unavailable right now for the average joe, but should hit the market again soon. Great amp that you could keep going for a long time with low repair costs when needed.
👌😬👍
*it appears the amp is back in stock on Amazon. Not sure for how long!! See my affiliate link: **amzn.to/3bX79jC*
and back out of stock!
Datasat is the new owner of the DTS digital film sound patents. The AP25 was one of the last film cinema sound processors produced. Datasat still provides some support for legacy DTS film equipment, including the DTS-6, DTS-6D, DTS-6AD, and layer processors and film timecode readers. They also cover the DTS decoding on home audio equipment.

I have bought a number of things from your links with that intent in mind. The ignite, Pioneer, Skar, and the JP8 were all purchased from your vids. I got the skar subs long before you tested them. Keep posting we love you. Talk to your boy JP about making a real bass head Bluetooth speaker and discontinue the over priced JBL clone.
could you measure the rail voltage on every amplifier you reviews next time? i mean you already open it to show us the guts, might as well probe the rail voltage on the diode legs too,i would love to see that thanks.
@@amadzack666 Thanks for the suggestion 👌
@@wal thanks bigD for considering my suggestion,base on the rail voltage and data from your amp dyno,we know which section are the weaker point between power supply section and output section on every amp design.thanks again looking forward to watch more of your vids
Available on Amazon again! (Affiliate Link): amzn.to/3bX79jC
They actually sheathed the leads on those FETs, but then it looked like they used construction paper for the little capes and toothpaste for thermal paste!! THANK YOU DOR SHARING THIS! It’s very educational to see you run those bench tests.
Another good one. I can't begin to tell you how much I've learned from this channel. So glad I subscribed.
Whenever Big D says "we'll talk about it later", you know it's going to be either very good or super bad 😆 Thank you D 👍👍
Gotta keep ‘um interested 😊
Something you probably don't want to hear your Dr. say though.
There been some fair luke warm ones a long the way :D
It could only be good or bad though 🤷 just saying

Datasat N4 & N1 were both 1000W. N1 is for car audio.
Thanks for posting this video. :)
What a silly move for them to copyright infring datasat. They could have developed their own brand and word of mouth at that price and performance would have made them fairly popular, especially among the financially strapped.
One must remember that companies that steal intellectual property and/or falsely market their products under another company’s brand name are looking to make as much money as quickly as possible, not the longevity of their business. They price their products very cheap to make a profit by selling a lot of units quickly before they are shut down. Then they start over again using a different name.
Since they have stolen the intellectual property of another company, they do not have the expense of research and design.
It is very common for Chinese companies who have been commissioned to build a product for a brand to make more of the product than the original brand ordered and then sell the exact same product at a lower cost undercutting the original brand.
Given that its China, the whole thing is a ripoff from top to bottom. Its likely some company linked to the CCP wholesale stole the designs from a legitimate budget company that was manufacturing there, and decided to roll some knock-offs with the blatant logo thievery to put the cherry on top. Easy to make stuff for cheap when all you have to do is just bring a thumb drive to someone else's business. No R&D costs or anything like that. Edit: Basically a TL;DR of what he said ☝Still, its one reason I would like Dereck to show discretion in reviewing these types of amps and ensure they are at least a real company first. Giving some bootleg company good publicity just reinforces their profits and keeps the scam going.
China is where they are today because they steal. Almost all electronic components are manufactured in China . This is all supported by their government. If you design a product in some other country then send it to China for manufacturing, guaranteed, your design has been compromised/stolen. Countries should send their manufacturing to other places . Yes it may be more expensive but weighing against the alternatives of what this communist has done and what it now has the capability to do military wise , we should stop now. It might already be too late .
This Chinese junk is probably going to blow after a week of use. And good luck with warranty service after that.
@@TreesOnTheBeach warranty?! lol
Thanks for picking up the amp I recommend. I had a great laugh at the box myself. I picked up this while browsing on Amazon looking for cheap amp with big fusing. I figured this out around 600 watts , who knew it would do more. Big D 4 da win.
Awesome 👏
The work done inside the amp looks clean.
Agreed!
I saw the 4 channel amp demo test & bought one & took a chance. And it is working great still, almost a year later.
Love your art, your show, your work, your info, your humor….you be dizen my shizel!
Don't know how long you have been doing this. During the late 1970's up to about 1990, a friend of mine ran a car stereo shop (still does). During that time, he built several crank it up cars. We had a design we were going to put in an abandoned Rambler station wagon, but the shopping center had it towed off before we could do it. The design was based on the speaker that a company called LTV built in the 1940's to test the microphone used to record an early nuclear explosion. One of the cars he built was for a customer with a 1970's Chevy Monte-Carlo with the long doors. The owner decided to go all in and cut the guts out of the doors and put 2 15's in each door. 4-18's went where the back seat used to be. Since there was a little space left at the top, they through in some 10 inch Gauss for the mid-bass. In the truck were 6 Harmon Kardon CA-260 amps, with all but one bridged mono. A series of 5 inch across the top of the doors and some JBL studio tweets under the dash, rounded out the drivers. This was fed by a high end Nakamichi cassette deck with computer controlled azimuth and a high end ADS for equalization. The day of the contest came and we all drove to Dallas for the event. We get there and the same guy who beat our car the previous year shows up with a 1960 Cadillac Hearse. 7-1500 watt amps and a - no kidding 26 inch Woofer for the low bass. 2-150 amp alternators. Even with that, it still took 14 or so Marine batteries, just to turn the stereo on. Yep lost again, but just barely. The winner got a mini-pickup, but more importantly for the young gentleman, he got a job! A leading amplifier company hired him as an engineer.
I miss the early 90's car audio days..
The z44 power mosfet is arguably the best transistor ever in the car audio amp world. Due to their prevalence in many very good amps, including the early zed amps and countless others. Though there are many newer power transistors with higher performance they are a classic, timeless piece.
😬👍
Nothing like the old Motorola brand mosfet they made a long time ago
I think its one of the reasons why it has poor efficiency and big difference dynamic vs clipping. Those mosfets are pretty old and inefficient. I would change mosfets for something better and probably would see 1000w up to clipping if the transformer isnt saturating ofc.
@@JusstyteN yes, I did state that there were newer parts with higher performance. Efficiency being one of those parameters, I would probably put in some 3205s but years from now the z44 or it's crossover will continue to be used in amplifiers.
@@justinhiggins2210 yea i still have a small bag of those for repairs.
Very awesome job on testing of the amp Big D. That really surprised me on those results.
I like how the output transistors aren’t even screwed to the heatsink
I was shocked by this one as it did well and I thought for sure it would be like those other amps that straight up lied to us! Now only if they would have faith in themselves and come up with their own name, lol.
😝👍
@@wal 2 30 Amp fuses ? Pulling 100+ ?? Somebody explain 😂
@@rahuldogra yes it is possible. It’s the duration that will cause them to pop. They can handle 2-3x ratings for short periods
No kidding. They could even up the quality of some of the "cheap" items mentioned...charge $75 and it would still fly off the shelf. Shame about the naming thing though...
@@MrGraywolves it’s back amzn.to/3QsWA6N
My teenager self from the 90’s would’ve been pissed I missed out on this amp for $63. 1000 watts was expensive those days! Woulda bought 3 of them just for spares!
You and me both 😂
Digging the background music while running the amp in the dyno! Reminds me of Mass Effect.
I just looked and the 4 channel one is still available tonight. Somehow I missed this when it came out, just now watching
The case reminded me of a early 2000s alpine. Lol. To bad it was taken down, seems like a great budget banger. Great video and breakdown as always sir! Thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Interesting bit of kit there. I have a Velodyne 150W sub that I've been running for about 20 years (not continuously). It's an 8" cone in a ported case with crossover. The box it came in is long gone and I have it right next to a reflecting wall. My question is, is it as nice as I think it is? Yeah, it is fraying a bit on the cover. But it shakes the whole house. It also cost a whole lot less than current Velodyne products.
my boxes got smashed up but the one sounds decent enough, since the glue is holding up. they are cheap 12" passive speakers, so i use it in the house with a 200w car stereo (low power so a broke box isnt audible)
. look at the corner of the box and see if you can pull/push the panels together. if the glue isnt holding and its loose youll hear it as the speaker flexes and shakes the box, making a god awful noise. shouldnt hurt the speaker any though.
is the amp built into the speaker? might be fun to make a new box for the old active speaker. or find a prebuiltbox and fit the sub and amp into, idk.
or make a box for the amp yea? xD idk that would be sick
bro i took a piece of wood and glued it over a 12" whole. then fitted a 10" sub to said panel in place of the 12" speaker, giving it a bigger enclosure..... it sounded ok, needs a lpf though.
@@1oneguythat I should proof read better. What's gone / going is the cloth on the front. The physical enclosure is fine. The amp is built into the same box as the speaker. It puts out an amazing amount of base for an 8" with no passive driver. Although my room isn't that big, it still resonates a good portion of the house because of modern home construction. When I was in an apartment, it nearly got me evicted. LOL.
I’ve been watching your amp dyno videos and absolutely love them! I was gonna suggest to dyno a nemesis audio amp! They’re are pretty popular here in West Texas, thank you
Thanks for the suggestion
Damn that amp was nice looking with the copper look on top and def could bump for 63$! It’s a shame it’s not around it’ll prob get sold on eBay now for 5x the price since big d did a video on it. Loved this and had those kickers slapping !🤘🏻🤘🏻🥇🥇
👌😬👍
If you love the looks of it just buy the Diamond Audio version. It more than likely has slightly more respectable performance.
@@Assimilator702 That's a $600.00 dollar price difference. I doubt he likes the looks that much.
Psst available now om Amazon for $76 just got 1
@@danthemansrepreviews5644 You’re not afraid the amp will simply melt down? I've only messed with cheap amps once in my life and the result wasn’t good. I learned my lesson.
Hey Big D just and idea. Have you ever thought about dynoing two of the exact same amps? I know I'm curious to see how far they are different in power. I know I've bought two of the same amps and birth sheets be couple hundred watts different. (Kicker and fosgate in my experience). Just an idea something different
I did this a while back with the Sundown SCV-3000. The results were amazingly close
@@wal what!! I missed a Big D Dyno video? Man I been watching you since you used to film inside the house on a little desk with old school amps stacked all around it.
Maybe do one that the company sends you to Dyno, the but one like a regular customer and see if the ones we get Dyno the same as the ones they send you to test.
That box with 4L7 subs is super sweet I love those subs from back in the day I’m sure the newer ones are pretty sweet esp a box with 4 in there really like it!!
Perfect sunday morning video
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Would be interested to see the frequency response of these amps at various power outputs too.
Thanks for the suggestion
Although Amazon cannot inspect every prospective product pitched to Amazon by resellers in China, we might be curious about how long it took Amazon to come to its legal senses about Datasat-- especially priced as it was.
Surprisingly good little amp for the money. Who knows if it would last a long time or not but for $63, I'd buy one.
I’ve paid more for dinner at Chick Fil A for my family
Thanks for nearly breaking my eardrums for the woofer test using earbuds.
Ya the advertising reminds me of poor translation on many, many other Chinese products, not like you could fit a sub in the box lol but bro, for the price. That's not a bad little amp. I don't remember seeing the legs of the mosfets wrapped in other amps especially in that price range. Def an interesting specimen brotha, thanks for sharing
I thought the same although I didn’t mention it in the video! That seems like a higher end feature!
After seeing the first case of poor translation I tried to catch the next one before Big D pointed it out. Sort of a game. But right when he pointed out that both input & output we're labeled "input" I noticed that under them out was out but input was labeled "front". One would assume the only input could just be called "input". Google translator helped expose another fake 🤥
Crazy 😜!
Imagine having 6 of them and 6 skar audio 600 watt rms 18’s for under $2000.
God bless y’all!
Man you just gave me an idea 💡
@@wal that’s great bro I love your channel and if I gave you an idea you just made my day god bless y’all!
I would prefer to have one good quality amp , as opposed to six garbage amps. to each his own.
@@Mr.Robert1 I know exactly what you mean,I was referring to bass heads that have a certain budget and want a 6 sub configuration for a low price and take a risk that it’s not going to hold up.
When I was in high school I knew someone that bought two 12 inch Sony explode subwoofers and a 1200 watt Sony amp and it was louder than a guy that spent allot more,but then we found out the other guy had inferior wiring lol 😂,I apologize for the long reply It’s just Mobil audio makes me happy 😃!
Nice , just picked one up brand new for 30 bucks at an auction going to power 2 punch 3 12”s with it Decided to go ahead and buy it after watching your video on it
1:55
I still have 2 Diamond Audio amps, love them. Each is 2 channel.
👌😬👍
@@wal Thank You Dereck, and I sent a message to your IG .
The insides look okay. I was expecting crappy caps and used mosfets extracted from ewaste but those seem like brand new mosfets. Although in china they can extract parts from ewaste and make them look like they came out of production line the other day.
I bought some used chips from utsource and it was unbelievable how good the cleaned those ic and ic legs
😬👍
@@wal Did you notice how a couple of the legs of the I see were wrapped in some kind of condom have you seen that before?
@@johnhornbeak5735 that is protective clothe braid. the two outside legs are your high voltage/high current legs. the middle leg is the "switched" one. If you think of them as relays....the braiding is to protect things from arcing to the heat sink in crazy conditions. probably cheaper than running a piece of plastic the whole length behind the mosfets. the chinese will cut ANY and EVERY possible corner to scrimp a penny. its how they sell these things for 63 bucks. 25% of which is import tax.
Utsource solder new leg to used transistor and sell like a new with different number engraved with laser
@@especialistqap i tested every part and they performed to datasheet specs. So i don't believe the parts have been faked like ebay stuff.
Looking back at this, I see 2 weaknesses:
The power supply MOSFETs and the output choke coil.
Replace the 4 Z44n MOSFETs with something a little stronger and your certified/uncertified numbers might get closer to the dynamic results.
The output filtering choke looks a bit small for even 600 watts at 1 ohm considering the 30 amps of output current available.
I think if I could get one (change the name to "DataSnatch" for all I care), that would be the first upgrades I made.
Too bad @barevids couldn't get his hands on this and confirm my theories...
AND THEY BLOWN UP IN 2 MINUTES GOING BY THE PEOPLE WHO INSTALLED THEM.
Love your videos would love to see you test the new ct sounds 2000.d
Thanks for the suggestion
Bid D! Is there by chance you could Dyno the PRV amps. I heard from a few buddies that they’re putting out a good line of amps. Appreciate all you do brother!
The manufacturer made a bet that a niche company on the opposite end of the price spectrum would not notice its trademark being used. It lost that bet but it’s a gamble that often works for other chinese manufacturers. I would have bought that amp and the 4 channel if it had been as well priced. Thanks for another very interesting video Big D.
Yeah it’s crazy!
They also have products under the name plinius, which is like datasat, a actual usa company. a $15k a amplifier for home audio.
I'm guessing they thought these companies wouldn't see them in car audio
Plinius have like 8 amps
Datasat even has a dsp amp!
Have every type of speaker too
I talked to the company
N1 and n4 are still available on usa,
I'm ordering 2 on August 10
I'd keep this amp. It'll be worth $65 in about 50 years!
Investment FTL
Those subs are surprising slapping
Slappin and Flappin
Enjoyable.
I am a fan of the copper look
The good news is that this thing would probably last about a week so maybe it's not so bad that you can't buy it on Amazon. I mean, if you have to be suspicious that the caps are carrying fake labels ... One of the reasons to spend more on known name-brand products is longevity. A $60 amp sounds like a steal until you have to replace it every couple months and the costs soon add up to what you'd have paid for something built better. Thanks for posting this video, it was very thorough and very interesting.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@wal You're welcome. I learned my lesson about this by buying cheap subwoofers that last 6 - 8 months. I finally woke up and decided to bite the bullet on a genuine Klipsch subwoofer that has now been in service for three years and is still working as well as the day I hooked it up. It wasn't terribly expensive and in the long run it's a *_lot_* cheaper than buying a pile of cheap gear at half the price. There are about 5 subs up in my attic waiting for the day I can either use some of the parts, repair them or chuck them in the trash. Those subs were all a loss financially, if I'd bought the Klipsch to begin with I'd be richer, happier and less frustrated.
I love these budget amp reviews but I wish there was a way to review their reliability/longevity. Easier said than done I know.
That would be cool. I like when car reviewers do this since many they review for short periods so good buy what about a year later?
@IamMike86 lolol
You could without speakers just use load resistors
Easy, buy one & go full tilt on it...It's affordable enough to do so!
I recently bought a Lanzar Vector VCT2610, I have not tested it but it says inside the box it's true rating is 300 + 300 watts rms. It's for strapping so it will be ok for 2 x 300w subs and my second amp for the woofers at 250w per ch and 6" x 9" 125w per channel. Should pump when I make the enclosures. There are some bad reviews for Lanzar but I think they are pushing the amps too far and not testing their true output first, I will keep them to their lowest rating. Thanks for all your great video's.
It’s been over a year and I still have this amp running in my 4Runner on a Single 8” Hifonics Sub. Freaking slaps…and I’m not sure why 😂
This amp is now back on Amazon for $70 as "Notherss Audio Systems N1"
Yeah still playing games!
It’s still on Amazon but under the “Crunch “ name for same price.
Great video, as always
Thanks for watching and commenting!
At 53% efficiency isn't this thing going to get so hot that it fails some internal components? If so, then running at 1 ohm would not be safe.
I got mine 2 days ago...honestly my punch 601 gets waaay hotter... this doesn't get all that hot...I swear like...very touchable lol. Solid piece..I'm getting a n4 too just to keep before there gone
Love the dyno runs. Keep it up! What happens when voltage is increased to 24v does it put out more and require larger amperes fuse?
Most of these 12V amps will go into protect at 16V
I'd like to hear the cannon shots from the Telarc recording of the Cincinnati Orchestra's rendition of Tchiakowski's 1812 Overture... That's always been my bass response test.
Another great video!!
I like this amp. Looks good,reminds me of the JL Audio amps. I wouldn’t use it at 1 ohm..LOL
Yeah, it's pretty darn good looking... Like a colored JL amp.
It would surely be overheating running at 1 ohm!
Yes I meant to mention it also looks like JL XD series
Dude a 1k amp for under a hundred bucks. Hat does rated power. That's impressive. Probably not the cleanest power but I bet for a budget banger it would sound good. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I like the old "California Profile" Amps.. Cheaper circuits than a PPI, but same breadboard design..
Interesting. I wish I had one of these when I was in high school. I would run stereo 25w on a 12 inch cerwin vega back in the day and I thought that was cool.
About half way through what is another great video Big D, and I'm thinking this thing is amazing for a sub $100 amp. Now I will get back to the last half of the video and see what happens..
Sorry it’s so long but I had a lot to cover here 😬
Big D! I just ordered one of these off of Amazon for $70!
Same here! Under the name "Notherss".....
I have found the n4 but no luck on the n1 I'd be willing to give this go. Been years being out-of car audio butnlack of thump in my truck I'm putting one together
As a tech this amp is class D those IR hexfets.
I wish I could luck onto something like this. Being on a fixed income sucks when you love having a decent sound system. Need a new amp but everything I look at is just outside my price range
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Back in stock, maybe different brand. See pinned comment
Love the videos, Big D! Been a bass head since the 90s. Now I'm an electrical engineer!
Are you in Williston, Florida? I'd love to see your lab and see for myself, Do It Bump Doe?!
Nawsa last name is my company name 😊
The terminal side of the amp layout is quiet similar to an old Pioneer PRSD1200M I have lol
Bought 2 one for daughter and one just because. Hooked up daughters at 1 ohm and after 3 minutes or so higher volume blew fuse twice so switched out with the just because one i had and it did the same so doesn't look like it like 1ohm. Sounded good while it played.
Thanks 🌹 we appreciate ur hard working and investigating on such cheap amps ... Bringing the truth to us
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Haha. Noticed you upped the fuses to 40s. Was curious how it would produce the proper wattage if it doesn't have enough amps coming in. Nice review. Just goes to show you don't always get what you pay for. In this rare case you got way more.bang for your buck. Thanks for the info
As of August 19, 2022 they are available on Amazon. I purchased one last night . You’re just going to need to dig a little bit as they don’t come up in the multichannel amp section.
I updated both the pinned comment as well as video description 2 days ago with this info 👌
LOL that App picture is my Radio Shack Boom Box from the 80's
I still have my L7 Solo Baric 12" that I bought in the 90's. lol
Have you done a clamp test on a Power Acoustik Razor RZ5-2500D?
I wish Kicker would make this same box but built for their new SOLO L7X subs.
I expected a budget bust but instead it's the new Dual/Jensen/GenericName. Hope it makes it's way back under a new name. Go Amiraca!
🤣👍
Loved it D thx.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
So should I get this will it blow on me in a week, Considering not over working it ?
Pretty good amp for starters.
What frequency di you test at?
Being a sub amp I hope it was at least as low as 40Hz.
It looks nice. I have a Sony 96K amp. Quality over power!
Thanks bought two
For the money It's pretty good, the key would be to buy a few of them, run them @8ohm to get the efficiency up higher and run them well under their rated output to get the distortion down. No specs on the slew rate or signal to noise ratio.
I have a Sound Craftsman PM860 Professional Mosfet amp. [120V] It's zero ohm stable which means you can short the speaker wires and power it on without harming it.
The certificate of performance states Channel A 286W/Channel B 287W @8ohm, Channel A 401/Channel B 402W @4ohm all at .05%THD [Probably get close to 450W per channel @2ohm] With a Slew rate of 50V per microsecond. [It's really fast] I've paired it up with 4 EV Force 10 and 2 EV Force 12 musical instrument full range loudspeakers with 10lb magnets, 105Db SPL [1W@1Meter] 150W continuous. They accurately reproduce flat thought the audio waveform spectrum. [This means no matter what frequency you drive them at, they reproduce with the same intensity of sound pressure equally.] 10" 75Hz - 7000Hz/ 12" 65Hz - 7000Hz Oh yea, when you power it on, you hear a little pop, the speaker does a little flex in and out a couple of times and then... Silence and it stays silent using a Makie mixer at zero volume input. With this baby and the EV's, you close your eyes and swear the band is in front of you with accurate reproduction.
They just rebranded to Notherss. The N4, 2-4 channel amp is still for sale on amazon.
I wanna get one for my guitar setup.
Love your videos boss. This one was really cool with you showing viewers what to look for, what reads what, how to calculate efficiency, why it matters- I watch your channel all the time so I've picked up on it but I got $10 your new viewers totally dug the info. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
actually has a diode for reverse polarity protection (hooking up pos and neg backwards) I am impressed for the price..
👌😬👍
This is a Budget Gem, I wish Amazon hadn't gotten rid of it.
Maybe it will be back?
@@wal I hope so, I would love to pick one or three up if they stay around that price. 🤣
At that price I'd be tempted to gut it and use the pretty case for a project.
Have you tested any of the Cadence stuff as of late?
Here we go! Sunday funday!
Awe yeah!
When are you going to do a old school diamond audio d6 or d6
..
if these were available and can strap together it be badass
impressive for that what have inside , nice
It’s back on Amazon!
Can't wait to see those D'amour engineering amps
Apparently 400w rms at 6amps!
@ over 66 volts?
Yeah super interested in those
Apart from being able to produce voltages and currents, does it amplify music..?
8:09 seems like a 35hz tuning frequency; the woofers stood still and clipped a bit. Thanks for the test!
