Blaupunkt made top end Car radio receivers and were stock in alot of Porsche cars back in 1985 .Installed one for my friend in his RENAULT LE-CAR...They were making car radios way back mid 1920s.
You made a great point. Back in the 90’s if you had a 400-500 watt system you were a legend. Also I remember everyone had a sealed box for their subs. I don’t even remember seeing a ported box. So when people say sealed boxes suck I am like wtf you talking about 😂
You have to remember that music back in the day didn't really have any strong low frequencies, like under 40Hz. So sealed boxes sounded just fine. I've been in car audio 30 years and only ran sealed and infinite baffle. Only recently have I been dabbling in ported boxes. Using aeroports to change the tuning and a DATS to confirm it. I think I'm a fan of ported.
Shit back in the 90s we had all kinds of cheater amps. This means they would say they were 45 W but they were pushing 150. You would have a 300 watt amp and that thing would be pushing near a thousand Watts. Or whatever the numbers were. They were always underrated. Not all brands but a lot of different brands did that
TXP1.3500D is about the title belt holder for budget amp king. $107, about 1200w... still, currently $80 for that blau 3k isn't bad. I'm thinking the orion cobalt might be a little better quality for similar price.
I wish you had mentioned that Blaupunkt went out of business a long time ago and another company bought their name. I don't know who, but I guess they really did boost sales by using that old company name. Same for PPI, Orion and a few others.
I bought one and they're really not a good bargain. They out juice when faced with heavy load. I think because the capacitors run drain just a little behind the load.
Blaupunkt was fairly reputable in late 90s early 2000s around me, not great but decent. I've ran atleast 2 set of there speakers, have a set of $30ish 6x8s in my truck doors currently and they're actually pretty decent. I was hoping to see 1100-1200w from that amp but dynamically it seems decent. Like you say would push 2 entry level subs good or 1 good 12 or 15 at 1ohm.
Heyyy, this is cool stuff you are doing. Could you try the Power Acoustik BAMF 5000 amp, I would like to know how much rms watts the amp puts out. I know it isn't 5000 watts tho🔥🔥🔥🔥🇨🇦
Established in Germany. Reestablished in china. 😂 These amps are pretty decent if you get them on sale. I have some 4000D disturbing the peace around my neighborhood
As efficiency goes: 62.7% @ 4 ohms 54.6% @ 2 ohms 49.2% @ 1 ohm That looks pretty bad for a class D amplifier. It may get warm or hot dissipating the rest of they power as heat at maximum volume. Does it pop the speakers when it is turned on or off? What's the temperature after, lets say 30min of use at medium power? As you mentioned in 4:13 the maximum input current is 120A so I would not stress this amp at 961W @ 1ohm because it drains 134.7A continuos
I bought 6 of the 4000 watt versions last year when they were going on sale for 50 bucks. Still have 2 of them. For that price they're not terrible but the quality is very questionable.
@@stereomojo I sold them. I had 2 of them each at half ohm running on 4 audio legion gladiator 10d2s in a 6th order. Never had a problem with them. Sold the whole system all together. The other 2 I sold to a local guy just wanting a little bang in his Camaro. He bought 1 then came back for another.
Rockford amps do it all the time my punch 400 calls for a 40amp fuse, the birthsheet says 436watts. Back in 92 I had a kenwood 921 on 2 kicker 15's and a sherwood bp 240 on a mtx blue thunder full range box with 2 15's 4 5in midranges and 2 horn tweeters
I like how yhey put "2 ohm stable" on the side of yhe box. Then do dont have a 2 ohm rating. I mean they lie about ratings anyways may ad well pull one more number out of the air lol.
This amp is $75 on Amazon right now!

Lol! Yeah, I’ve had plenty of systems with sealed boxes that sounded awesome!
Think I had a Blaupunkt CD player back in the day; I still love sealed enclosures to this day.

I only use sealed boxes
The radio was from a car that it came with from factory. I remember vettes used to come with them from factory.
It’s rated 800 1ohm
600 2ohm
300 ohm
3000 is peek
I got this amp it slaps for blapunkt i never had this brand ever impress me but this one did!
Yeah, it’s a pretty decent amp. Thanks!
So it’s not really 3000 watts?
@@debosdetails7171 unfortunately, it’s not
My Rockford punch 200 sold for $599, and its Birthsheet= power output was around 525 watts, back in the 90s!
Yeah, those were awesome amps!

I need to try the TXP

I would like to see you test a jbl - gx -a300.1

That crossover to high is passing lot of audio

Well said, thank you!
Wish these companies would just rate their amps correctly. Can you tell us what certified is in the future? Thank you!

Thanks a bunch! That’s a good suggestion, I’ll consider doing that one.

Make sure you check out my video that drops in the morning!
@@stereomojo I'll be sure to give it a watch
Audiozerone does 1000 watts at $89
As efficiency goes:
62.7% @ 4 ohms
54.6% @ 2 ohms
49.2% @ 1 ohm

Williston Audio said the same exact thing. He said that's class ab efficiency and that's not good for a class D amp
I bought 6 of the 4000 watt versions last year when they were going on sale for 50 bucks. Still have 2 of them. For that price they're not terrible but the quality is very questionable.
Sorry. Year before last.
Did you sell the others, or did they go out on you?

2250 at 1ohm. 2 ohm stable. The fuck.
I like how yhey put "2 ohm stable" on the side of yhe box. Then do dont have a 2 ohm rating. I mean they lie about ratings anyways may ad well pull one more number out of the air lol.
My apologies, they did put a 2 ohm rating in the Manuel.
Cheap is cheap...
not worth it very inefficient at 1 ohm
