2 questions big D, how do I use true 8 gauge on sub terminals that won't fit that big of wire especially if I try and wire a 4dvc to run 2 ohms no way it's going to all fit, so I cut some out to make it fit? Is there a solution... 2nd, when ur running the amps, do you set everything to max, or like how do you tune them for the dyno run?
Ty Derrick, I enjoyed this test. People seem to have forgotten that 1000 watts of clean power is still a butt load of power. Almost all the amps used in your old school spl challenge were very clean a/b power. Many of them put out over 140db with the right setup. More than enough power for daily driving. $120? I'll take it... I paid $800 for my Zeus VIII back in 1992 (1500 today). No complaints here...
@@JuanDiaz-uj7wg well actually every reason to lie because 99.9999% of people will not dyno it they will hook it up and bang and the company inflates the numbers because that will sell more and make profit but I get what you are saying and 1000 Watts at that price is still a good deal and i like the looks of it 😎
Would be a nice amp if they had it listed as a 800 watt amp. Decent guts, cooling fan. Just wish companies would stop bullshitting with the power rating on these amps. :(
its a 900w amp for 120 bucks. not a bad value as far as dollar per watt, but still more misleading claims on output. its getting old. on a completely different note, any chance of doing clip tests on popular head units? i know many pioneer units are good up to 57 or 58 out of 60, but what about brands like kenwood/jvc, alpine, clarion, or them cheepies? im sure lots of people would love to know
love the dummy math reference on the fuses.. it's always drove me a little nuts how uneducated 99.9% of everyone with amps in their vehicles are.. IF ONLY people could just educate their self on the basics before you proceed... idk whats worse than people tellin u they got a 4,000 watt system and its that amp lol.. like i said, this is like 99% of people with aftermarket audio.. so a big thanks for shedding light on simple V x A = W.. and u even added amp efficiency with it which is also vital to know.. just basic 101.. then if only people could just understand a little bit about voicecoil heat or electromagnets or clipping notes or adjusting amps or PROPERLY designing a 'to spec' enclosure whether its ported or any order bandpass to properly let your speaker perform at its best.. I've had an amp die on me and replace it temporarily from 2k to 50w with a tiny amp just as a bandaid of bass while I replaced the 2k.. and my 50watts of "proper" bass is louder than idiots with amps like this that think they have 4k watts then put it in some random prefab box they got on ebay lol.. knowledge is power.. or in 99% of peoples cases.. being presumptuous is futile.. if your hobbies don't make you curious, you need new hobbies that do people.. dont buy subs because your friend did....
You make a good point. It's simple math, IF you're allowed to look at the unit, before you buy. Sometimes, you have to buy sight unseen, which may not allow you a view angle, that would allow you to see the fuses. I don't think that's an accident, if the illustration on the box or the advertisement doesn't show the fuses. You'll notice, when they want to show you the connections, they will "zoom in" on the terminals, and not show the whole rear panel.
I wish they just called it as it is, 1000W @1ohm for a little over $100 is a SOLID amp and a great value. Why do these companies gotta lie ?? Those are not numbers to be ashamed of.
Yes!!! I have been waiting for years to see someone test Quantum out.... I'm commenting before watching I'm so excited. These things are so popular here in San Antonio , Texas. I have always firmly believed they are over rated for sure. Time to find out.... Yes!!! I've out done so many people with Quantum 2-4,000's with my ole 800a2 its hillarious. In the 2k models one fuse is not even hooked up to anything. At least in the older models...
The first DVC sub I ever experienced(and also the first time I ever heard the term "dual voice coil" and thought it meant dual cone or something lol) was a Quantum Audio 12" sub my friend had in his room. He ran it on a 8 channel (3500w if I remember correctly) amp that our school used for events - along with many many other speakers, sub bridged on 4 channels, other speakers bridged on the other 4 channels. We had the police called on us and we couldn't hear them pulling up or knocking on the door, we only knew someone was there when we saw an arm reaching in through a window to pull open the curtain. That's a good memory
My friend has had both GX3 and GX5. Two GX5 in bridge is very impressive, and alot quieter fans than other power amps in that price range. Im 90% sure QSC rate their amps accurately
Ignite 4k, skars rp series amps, rockfordfosgate prime series amps and wolfram amps "their c2400 is sweet", orion xtr series amps, give those a look at to start ya out, all make good power at a good price.
I remember an amp that had 2 fuse back in the day ....but only 1 was working ....the second was a "spare"...just to give you the illusion it pulled twice the current...can't remember what brand it was...
The fuse always tells the tale. I'm sure you remember back in the day when good amps cost $1 per watt, so i would say this amp is a great deal. Also looks at them guts!
Big Dummy math is always right! On the other hand imagine how happy we all would have been getting a true 1000 watt amp back in the day for $119! That thing had some nice looking guts though lol
There's nothing out there that currently beats the Taramps series. The HD3k, MD3k, and Bass 3k all the way up to the MD12k are some of the best values out there
@Dave Micolichek the danger posed comes from a combination of factors. There is such a thing as resonant frequency. Which compounds the stress of forces. The whole singers shattering glasses thing.
Dereck I’m going to buy the QUANTUM AUDIO QA2000D Class D mono-block car amplifier with the A/B circuitry because it is so efficient that it makes the QA2000D 2,000 watt amp more powerful than other amplifiers rated at 4000 watts or 8000 watts! There's nothing like a Class D amplifier with A/B circuitry to make your car go boom cuz Tigre and Bunny like the cars that go boom....
I hope you're not holding your breath for the current model amp to show up. I'm sure the date code on the board will be scratched off and a new one etched in
Thankyou for testing the qza series amp I kinda figured it wasn’t giving the rated rms but now I’ll switch to a taramps amp and actually get my money’s worth
WTF.. Y can't you just be honest? If it only does 1kw rms. Put it on the dam box. There shoud have already been laws in place for this B.S.. Because that 100% false advertising! And back in the day there were lawsuits against thise who did the sht.. Hate all those lying ass brand's!! U all should be ashamed! How are they still getting away with this crap after alll these years? Unreal. Folks need to start suing them all until can learn to be honest. We as consumers deserve that much to say the least. Do we not?
@@azmike1956 ohhhh i need more speakers to turn on dolby processing and or dts. right now just regular old 2 ch stereo over optical with the bass being redirected to the sub's. two 10's in a custom enclosure for that punchy boom and then a 12 in a sealed enclosure for that ultra low butt rumble. pretty impressive as it is all only off 400 watts of power LMFAO *two separate amps*
Quantum is a lower tier name foorr.. DB (?) I can't recall. They're all over The Pro audio shops in my area. It's what they sell, Exclusively. These amps are sold for all sorts of outrageous prices. $3-700 . I went once when I was 19, and the reps kept trying to sell me one. Even financed. I pointed out the fusing wouldn't reach the claimed rms and he stated "these are designed to be Ultra Efficient." Another rep told me in reality all that info was irrelevant. That modern amps weren't really rated in rms watts anymore, that it was all about ohms now.. Same shops that sell 2g OFC for $9/ft.. "Fire breathin' amplifiers! Earth shakin' speakers !*-******!!!" Lol if you recognize that........
I love the videos. I've been watching you for a while but just recently subscribed. Could you do a video on the 46 series kicker cxa1200.1? I have one and would just like to know the true specs. No one has done it yet out of all the videos I've watched about amp dynos.
****Williston Audio Labs **** Hey, did you notice the fan has no "real" venting for it? Sure it had those tiny little vents on the back but no real air movement.
@calee4nyaboy clearly you don't know much about air movement or fan cooling or the simple fact that the fan would not be pressed against a wall inside the house but instead set in such a way that air moves on both sides of the fan. input and output. the fan almost rests directly on the backplate. also for best movement, you would position a fan at a window for best air movement. I have a 10.7kw sound system. That's rms by the way. Not imaginary power, I had to develop cooling methods for my amps and my engine bay along with multiple batteries. In any case this amp is garbage and it sounds like your angered that I spoke out about it.
I hope those days are over, where manufacturers claim blatantly embellished ratings on amplifiers. If I design an amplifier, I apply a continuous sine wave to a pure resistance, and quote the RMS power, without clipping. If it's an automotive amplifier, I usually quote it, supplying it with exactly 12 volts, because any large amplifier is going to create voltage drop on its power supply, no matter how "beefy" it is, unless it's a large precision regulated bench supply, with short thick power cables between it and the amplifier, or, it has remote feedback leads that can connect straight to the power lugs on the amplifier, negating the resistance of the supply cables. If you run one of my amplifiers on 13.8 or 14.4 volts, you will get a higher output reading, than quoted in the specifications.
@@TheMatsushitaMan I agree, if it's a multi-channel amplifier. The one shown in this video is a "monoblock" monaural amplifier. If you're rating a multi-channel amplifier, would you run all channels at rated impedance, or just one? I would be tempted to run both channels at the same time, to fully load the power supply. If you run just one at a time, you will inevitably get a little more power, just because the power supply wouldn't "sag" quite as much.
These manufacturers are competing in a market loaded with ignorant customers. So they have to do what they have to do for their share of trade. What they have to do is slap big numbers on the side of their equipment to compete in a crowded field. Most of the time it's just to impress your stoned buddy in the driveway anyways. Look at mah 4000 Watt amp dude!
Wondering how this amp would do with bigger fuses? Pop or bang? For $120 think I would have to try it out! All and all not a very good output but for beginners I can see why they might be looking at it!
Still is their budget line, the owners are from south Texas they own D-Tronics and are all over the valley. They make Quantum audio and DB Drive. I try and stay away from all that junk but it’s funny how all these young kids are driving around with their 2 10’s and 10,000 watts Quantum audio or DB Audio junk 😂. But you have to give it up to D-Tronics cuz you walk in there empty handed and you come out of there with a 20,000 watt system all financed and ready to go 😂. Werkos pendejos!! 😂
Having internal subwoofer adjustments on the head unit is great. And is all you really need for a good clean system. Bass knobs really start coming in handy when you have either excessive lows and want them up and down at the touch of a dial or if you're utilizing a factory radio and cannot control them otherwise.. it's just a faster secondary volume option
I agree that it's shady to call it 4000 watts, and that 1,000 watts for $120 is a respectable deal. 'refurbished' sends "Shit, it broke after 3 months & it had a refurbished-1 month warranty on it" shivers up my spine.
D'Amore engineering didn't have an amp Dyno then LOL. Now that companies are starting to realize that these amps can be dynoed of their true RMS power I think they're starting to shape up.
A 1k watt class AB for that cheap isn't bad, and the guts yo, they're Hella sexy. However I'm not a big enough dummy to take the fake ass bait, thanks to Dick-riculous @ Williston audio labs I am in the know
If you really want a decent system for the cheap then go with Skar audio. I build my whole system (box, 2 12s, and the amp) for around $500 and it pushes 2000w. I've got it in a minivan rn and still in all that air space it flexes body panels and windows. Can't wait to slap it into my little civic coupe!

Awesome deal at that price
Most cheap amps around that price range are usually kickin 500 to 900 RMS, this isn't bad at all.

That's a nice cheap 900 watt amp! It should say "600 watts" on the heatsink.

Hey, did you notice the fan has no "real" venting for it? Sure it had those tiny little vents on the back but no real air movement.

I have a 10.7kw sound system. That's rms by the way. Not imaginary power, I had to develop cooling methods for my amps and my engine bay along with multiple batteries.
In any case this amp is garbage and it sounds like your angered that I spoke out about it.
@calee4nyaboy when you get home, open your windows and place a box fan on the floor face down or up. Go ahead, I'll wait.....
I hope those days are over, where manufacturers claim blatantly embellished ratings on amplifiers. If I design an amplifier, I apply a continuous sine wave to a pure resistance, and quote the RMS power, without clipping. If it's an automotive amplifier, I usually quote it, supplying it with exactly 12 volts, because any large amplifier is going to create voltage drop on its power supply, no matter how "beefy" it is, unless it's a large precision regulated bench supply, with short thick power cables between it and the amplifier, or, it has remote feedback leads that can connect straight to the power lugs on the amplifier, negating the resistance of the supply cables. If you run one of my amplifiers on 13.8 or 14.4 volts, you will get a higher output reading, than quoted in the specifications.
I'd rate amps to ensure a minimum X watts per channel, across 20-20,000hz, all channels driven, into X ohms, with no more than 0.1% THD.
@@TheMatsushitaMan I agree, if it's a multi-channel amplifier. The one shown in this video is a "monoblock" monaural amplifier. If you're rating a multi-channel amplifier, would you run all channels at rated impedance, or just one? I would be tempted to run both channels at the same time, to fully load the power supply. If you run just one at a time, you will inevitably get a little more power, just because the power supply wouldn't "sag" quite as much.
These manufacturers are competing in a market loaded with ignorant customers. So they have to do what they have to do for their share of trade. What they have to do is slap big numbers on the side of their equipment to compete in a crowded field. Most of the time it's just to impress your stoned buddy in the driveway anyways. Look at mah 4000 Watt amp dude!
@Dave Micolichek All channels playing into pure resistance at rated impedance, continuous sine wave.(max, without clipping)
@@1pcfred There's more truth in that, than you want to know.🙄
Still a pretty amp though
Please do a Hifonics 1800.1d zeues amp dyno
Please do because these amps haven’t been featured no where you would be the first in the world to make a official video on it
Zeus's are bad mfs. Those depends on how you run them. More like a Orion
I have one, does around 900 watts at 1 ohm.
Really impressive internals for being a cheap amp
Wondering how this amp would do with bigger fuses? Pop or bang? For $120 think I would have to try it out! All and all not a very good output but for beginners I can see why they might be looking at it!
If I'm not mistaken but I think Quatum Audio is made by DB Drive by in the day. This must be their budget line from back then.
They appear to be related still today
Still is their budget line, the owners are from south Texas they own D-Tronics and are all over the valley. They make Quantum audio and DB Drive. I try and stay away from all that junk but it’s funny how all these young kids are driving around with their 2 10’s and 10,000 watts Quantum audio or DB Audio junk 😂. But you have to give it up to D-Tronics cuz you walk in there empty handed and you come out of there with a 20,000 watt system all financed and ready to go 😂. Werkos pendejos!! 😂
Dumb question...why do some amps come with a bass knob? Can't you just control the sub output through the head unit?
Having internal subwoofer adjustments on the head unit is great. And is all you really need for a good clean system. Bass knobs really start coming in handy when you have either excessive lows and want them up and down at the touch of a dial or if you're utilizing a factory radio and cannot control them otherwise.. it's just a faster secondary volume option
This amp is kicking your wallet 😂😂
I agree that it's shady to call it 4000 watts, and that 1,000 watts for $120 is a respectable deal. 'refurbished' sends "Shit, it broke after 3 months & it had a refurbished-1 month warranty on it" shivers up my spine.
It would be awesome if you got soundman on your podcast
Nah, they just forgot to put in the decimal point. 400.0 watts
Are those the only two clips that you have? I've been watching some of your videos and both of them are in every video.
I believe the 4000 watts was a typo. They meant to write 40 watts.
So they 5000w sub really 500w rms
D'Amore engineering didn't have an amp Dyno then LOL. Now that companies are starting to realize that these amps can be dynoed of their true RMS power I think they're starting to shape up.
You're right, but even if you did calculate the wattage based on supply voltage and speaker impedance, you wouldn't be off by this much!
Nice looking board!
If you're not expecting 4000 out of this. For the price it's a good deal.
But how long will it last
A 1k watt class AB for that cheap isn't bad, and the guts yo, they're Hella sexy. However I'm not a big enough dummy to take the fake ass bait, thanks to Dick-riculous @ Williston audio labs I am in the know
Man I will say it is severely overrated. But that thing looks beautiful!!
What about the Mark Antony GS-1000D amplifiers that can you tell me about this amplifier?
Why do companies get to keep lying like this???
Another one bites the dust for ratings.. for $100 ,, decent temporary 1200w amp of you really need one.. great video as always, sir.
If you really want a decent system for the cheap then go with Skar audio. I build my whole system (box, 2 12s, and the amp) for around $500 and it pushes 2000w. I've got it in a minivan rn and still in all that air space it flexes body panels and windows. Can't wait to slap it into my little civic coupe!
Thumbs up for the video👍
Thumbs down for the amp👎
Thanks, I’m not sure most people understand how that works 😂
well it looks nice and i guess for the price its ok. 5:53 best part lol.
