NVX VAD17001 Amp Dyno! Different than Sonic Electronix Dyno?
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2019
- Got a lot of requests to dyno the new line from NVX. Normally I dont dyno amps that have already been strapped up, but seeing as Sonic Electronix just did a dynamic test.... it got people wondering if they had something to hide.... I don't think that's the case but let's find out!

Welcome back !
Great review as always. Really appreciate that you take the time to do these videos for us to see how these amps do
Was really missing your content good to see you back again I truly enjoy your videos the most of all the dyno guys out there
Good to see you back. We miss the videos because you offer more advice and knowledge than most. Good to see nvx staying honest with their ratings.
Nice job again, like always. You are keeping it real and letting us the consumers know what’s up.
Good to see you back Ryan. 👍
IMO, these amps are a step back from the previous JAD series.
Thanks for the review and dyno.
Why do you say that?
Thanks brother! I’ve been looking for an amp for my side-by-side , you sold me on this good fair review. keep it up
Great review Ryan! Keep up the great content!
Best videos on the web, appreciate all of what you stand for "The truth". Thanks Ryan!
Awesome test. Thanks for sharing
I have one of these feeding 1200 rms to a vcw 12 and it impresses me every day.
The outro music sounds so good on my note9, the stereo speakers are awesome
First time viewer loved your video man. Thank you for your share
Yep, distribution blocks or reducers. Thanks for always mentioning the terminal size though, it's not always specified online or even in the manual!
@@tammyforbes2101 amp draw is amp draw, topology does not matter, whatever the amp meter says is what the wire should be sized for
Glad ur back 👍👍
Great video as always
I love it when an amp is rated dead on like that :) Good job NVX rating guys! You actually bought a dyno lol XD
@Everett Nolan wtf?
Great stuff really informative video s keep up the good work
I'm happy you reviewed this Amp.. I was one click away from buying it Wednesday.. now I know it's solid.. but that fan might just make me hold off
can hear the fans on my vids installed to give you a better idea , i have 2 27001
Don't know why people complain about the fan, it's not bothersome at all. Plus when you have an audio system, who drives with no sound? Which is the only time you can hear it but still. I love mine and I have 2.
Wow! Badass amp 👍
keep up the good work ryan. some of us dont trust the manufacturers dyno test because they can max out all the settings and give us false info. a 3rd party test is always best
I’d like to see a test of the Audio Control ACM amps and Rockford Fosgate Prime amps. Many thanks for your work to help us all out!!!
First off I want to say your channel amp evals and testing are the best on YT. DIYers rely on your testing for investing in quality audio. You're our holy grail source for picking the right amps.
I can tell you from experience. A "marine amp needs all components to be coated or sealed. The POTs, inputs, and switches will corrode and die after a short period of exposure like one or two seasons of saltwater boating.
Nvx makes decent equipment there amps do rated and there vcw subs are bad ass good video Ryan like always
Vary nice I just bought a nvx vcw 15 inch sub
I like the little fan
I'm a fan of NVX. I've been waiting to see better dyno video. Great work. Thanks for the video. End caps sounded like metal. Better built than it looked. I hate the power inputs and outputs.
27001 has 1/0 , but id run dual 1/0 adapters anyways lol
heya do either of u know where these amps are made? I've looked just bout everywhere.
Stinger 0 gauge fits perfect
Running DD amps and subs, but I still love the content, keeps us, the consumer's informed....
@Chuck Holmes JL AUDIO is where i stand 💪🏾😎 but these budget amps like this one deserves to take a bow this amp is knocking on the doors of high end amplifiers.
@Chuck Holmes good point but if your looking at it from a budget point of view more people would rather go for good wattage low budget amps so when something does go wrong the trash can is not to far away and your not throwing away a thousand dollars, in a week they'll get another one or move on to the next budget amp. we've been into sounds quite some time now im 41 years old and we could build a budget mix that would lay the hammer down hard. we built a set up with two 15 inch kicker L7's and two boss AR4000s and it impressed alot of people they was thinking we was running full blown competition set up lmfao until we showed them what was really up their facial expressions is priceless. the way i see it if you know what your doing anything can be just as good I've been a hardcore racetrack gearhead since 1997 and I've built some ebay turbo integras with forged internals and ebay spraying nitrous and I'll guarantee run down American muscles any day or night.
@Chuck Holmes i run jl audios slasher series if you think they are cheap look it up its not a low budget amp however i am not a bias fan boy im actually impressed that there are low budget amps out there that can put out with higher end amps I've built low budget systems before and its impressive some can keep on playing while some higher end amps starts overheating as a matter of fact I've seen a few of them do that and thats one reason why i dont bash on any amp. there's competition set ups then there's daily street set up i prefer daily street set ups mixed example maybe scars with jl audio and boss. its all about knowledge not the brand.
@Chuck Holmes yeah your talking bout the really cheap shit like boss,nvx,taramp,rockville, shit like that i know. BTW how do you like the sound quality of the acoustic fx 6x9's i heard good things about those acoustics fx right now i got Rockfords i forgot which one's but it doesn't sound that great I'll be looking for a set of better door speakers just deciding which one's i can replace them for.
Good old NVX living up to their reputation. No wonder Bruce swears by them. I'd love to have this amp pushing my Sundown Audio SA12D2s in my Civic. I have the Soundstream Rubicon Nano RN1.5000D just to have some overhead capability and to keep the amp cool and unstressed, and it slams my 12s, but it pulls alot of power through the 0/1 OFC wire. I think this amp would be a good choice for a great sounding quality car stereo build.
New subscriber, your doing God's work and its appreciated!
i run 2 NVX VAD 27001 on 10 10'' nvx vcw 102 subwoofers ! the amps are very impressive , great review ! id love to see someone run the 27001 also !
I have a full nvx setup about to go into my Tahoe, already has 300 amp alt and upgraded batt, vad27001 on full 0 gauge nvx wiring kit, to the 10 farad nvx capacitor, to two 12 nvx competition subs, both Dvc 4ohm wired to 1ohm final in a custom made sealed box made to exact spec, full 3/4 mdf triple braced with 1" face/baffle. (Also have FULL JBL stadium HARMON interiors AND 6x9s in sealed boxes on jbl stadium amp) hoping for a very compact setup that can do EVERYTHING effortlessly. You're working those vad27001s hard, how have they been? Mines going in my daily for a decent SQ but with the power to hit hard all day n not break a sweat (hopefully) how have you liked those amps, not many people with em, I had the OG 1200 on these subs in slot ported box, and although underpowered, they def hit, so now MORE THAN ENOUGH power but in sealed I'm hoping for a really nice all around setup for around $1000 in parts.
How do they sound, is the .3% THD noticeable with the subwoofers?
Vad27001 on 10" why not the vad17001
Thanks for the video.
If they wanted to call it a 1300 Watt amp I would be impressed with it.
Thanks for shining light on the actual output
Yeah it was just barely shy of rated power, but we are in a market where amps always exceed ratings if they are high quality so I thought nvx would do rated+
It met its rating. At 1ohm, it went 100+ watts beyond its rating. Given what these things cost, I'd say it's an easy win. Yes, most amps will exceed their rating and often by a lot. But they also cost 3X what this one does. And don't cover that much of a price increase. watt for watt, this amp would be a better deal than most.
I don't run nvx though, I'll keep my old school JBLs and HiFonics before I toss in anything new.
Great to see you back in another good video 👍
I would love to see a test of the JX line from JL Audio. Its pretty budget priced for JL. Wondering if it lives up to their name.
dude NVX is pretty damn clean all around. I run thier version of an epicenter and it works perfect going on 4yrs in the heat
Over all,, Winner winner chicken dinner.. I agree noise level and terminals, another thing At $230 bucks I'll stick with Skar, Walfram etc or others. Overall a winner for sure. Great video, sir keep them coming..
I think the idea with 4 gauge power terminals is that you run smaller gauge from front battery to trunk of car, then fuse that wire in the trunk at a distribution block and run a short 4 gauge from the fuse to the amp. That short run of 4 gauge can handle the current. Completely agree the 4 gauge outputs are overkill.
@MickeyRides exactly. Bigger to smaller.
I think you should try the ds18 exl 1000.4. Theres just something about this amp that might be special. It seems to produce a ton of power.
Close enough for the cost
6:20 This. This is what makes it okay if you have 1/0 running to your battery in the back. use 4ga from your amp just have the amp close to the battery
The 4 gauge thing I don't think is that big of a deal. I'd be running 1/0 from the battery to a distribution fuse block right next to the amps.
Commenting to say I’ve gotten two of these amps now after thinking the first was defective. Both have a turn on pop. This is hooking up straight to the battery with ofc cable no RCAs even plugged in so no it’s not my head unit or a bad ground.
That amp is maintained! I'm in between NVX and SKAR
Can you add the input sensitivity to your test? Some amps claim they can take 4-6 volts on the input then they only take like 2.
Great testing , can you test out Gravity amps ?? Or DS18 ?? lots of folks talking about them on Facebook.
hey man love the reviews and the dynos keep em coming!! you are the reason i went with a soundqubed 2250.1 still goin strong. im not sure if you mentioned it in the video or if you have heard about this, i believe the reason SE only showed the dynamic power is because brazilion amps arent actually made for those burp style signals they were intentionally designed for very big demo buses with pro audio subs to send more thumping dynamic bursts. thats also why the are so small is so that they can fit a ton of them for more power but with more danger as well because they arent as stable as say a korean. just a little fun fact to keep you going!!!
good fast video
You should test the Rockville db55 5 channel amp. A little sceptical for $160.
Nvx is doing a amazing job on rating their amps Price is another pretty good buy and backed bye sonic electronics
Not bad.
Agree with the 👎 on the 4Guage power and ground
Yeah my list.. the list of all final comparison readings. Where is it?
Great video, I was going to buy the 2700 amp. I'll pass for the stinger or ct 2000.1
The amps are getting smaller which is nice to see.
However this board is totally inferior to their old jad series. So sad, profit margins over qualify. Hertz has now switched from the jad style board to this new one with pot metal looking terminals
What's the name of the song used during the Dyno?????
Run the 0 gauge to a distribution block, a short run of 4 from the block to the amp is fine
You can run 200 amps thru a 3 foot piece of 4awg and it wont even flinch
He would have known that, if he knew Jack shit about electronic devices!!!!
Looks like it’s a good amp for the price regardless of the fan
Hey love all the videos n info. I have 2 12's boss phantom 2300 watts what's the best amp suggestion for that, at a budget price?
I wouldn't run the 1700w rms through it but that 1250w 2 ohm is honestly pretty sexy. You run two of these amps in parrellel on a dual 2 ohm high end sub, that's a lot of power. Probably more efficient too since you are running between 70-76% efficient. 2x140 amps max draw is doable with two of these amps on a single high end alternator especially when under normal usage you are likely only drawing 80 amps each
I got this same amp. Just get it
Has nvx always been they're brand or did They just purchase? I had the old model nvx jad 1200.1d it was built like a rock. Also that amp came with a 1/0 adapter. Something happened to nvx sucks because the had imo the best 12ga speaker wire and 1/0 power cable no longer available???
What’s your thoughts on power wire size I have a dodge charger battery is in trunk
0ga to 4ga adapter or distribution block will settle the problem of 4ga terminal. run 0ga from battery to the distribution block then 4ga short run to the amp terminal just be fine. or use adapter, pretty easy
Good to see you back at it! Alot of "budget" full bridge amplifiers seem to use 4 gauge inputs. However, if you are like me and anytime im pulling more than 100 amps from my setup, i have at least one extra battery in the back closer to the amp, where a short 4 gauge run wouldnt be too much of an issue. But an amp plus 1200 watts should have 1/0 inputs. I imagine it shouldnt be more than a 8$ upgrade on the manufacturing costs, which ill gladly pay for instead of cutting corners to meet a price point. just my 2 cents. keep up the great content ryan!!
$8? Try 20 cents
Budget Gem or Budget Bust Ya you're right, more like 8$ up charge as a regular consumer for a 20 cent upgrade!
Where u at bro where is the Dyno videos
Why would you have 4 ga. speaker output and 4 ga. Power input?
Hey have you checked out the new CT sound CT series? I got the 1500, it has 4 gauge, and no recommended fuse size let alone a fuse :D would love to see that amp tested
any dyno results for a behringer ep2000 of ep4000 ?
Wouldn’t that coating help even in a car with the temp changes over winter and summer the hot to cold climate changes makes condensation so I would like to have that coating on all amps myself.
What amp would you guys recommend for some Polk Audio MM692 - MM1 Series 6x9" Coaxial Speakers running off a kenwood excelon kdc-x303 head unit on a 30 amp dc switching power supply low ripple
Why are half bridged amps better/more common than full bridge? Does full bridge has poor sound quality?
When are you going to test a Hertz amp?
I noted that multiple comments gave the "sister" models of amplifiers using the same circuit/manufacturer. Terrible amplifier for 1Ohm. Power is there, but EFFICIENCY is not. The rail circuits must be at full duty cycle and very warm.
its called Coil Wien it happens in PSU and GPU of old stuff
I'd like to see you run it at .8
How about testing some SOUND ORDINANCE amps ???
Are these Brazilian or Korean amps? I'm very curious about the MB Quart amps, the Discus 1500 used to be a great budget amp back in the day.
These are Chinese made. You can call them Brazilian style... technical name is Full Bridge design
@@bigblank69 Sorry I know this is a old video. I’m thinking of purchasing this amp. I just purchased (2) SVR-8 | 8" 800 Watt Max Power Car Subwoofers . 400w rms , will this amp work for those speakers?. This is for a Powersports application
that amp looks more like a kicker cxa design
I notice a lot of nvx and gravity stuff is the same.
why do we not want to use bass boost?
Could you dyno a SS t1.6000dl they're pretty cheap at under 300 dollars and if they really do 3000w rms it would be one hell of a deal. I have one pushing an 18 and it sounds amazing and has been very reliable.
Any chance you’ve tested the NVX 1000.1 For raided power and efficiency?
Yes i want to know also..i have two of them(nvx vad 1000.1) for 3+++years. And they sound incredible(bass🎵) holding strong, no issues, no nothing .. they barely get lukewarm ..I have them on two 750 RMS woofers so that way they have headroom keeping it efficient and cool (my battery and electrical is very solid and upgraded).. but they sound really really good .,for bass at least.. . Actually incredibly nice if you ask me. . I usually run kicker amps and they are quality sounding along side my kicker amps for bass.. and as I stated earlier my electrical is up to par which a lot of people don't do .,.
meckman 240 amp alternator (color ford blue).. xs power d3400 up front and a xs power super capacitor in the back( xs power sb500) great combo.. all 1/0awg/then 4awg... everything ofc silver tinned by nvx.. my whole car is full of nvx actually also I have a kicker amp for my mids & highs pushing a set of nvx components and kicker coaxials .
@@josegiraldez6230 I am running that amp also and love it. Doesn’t really get hot and pushes my two 10” Infinity Kappa 1000s hard. Really impressed. Running stock alternator but have no dimming issues. I am at my limit but it’s plenty. Looking for more SQ with some volume
Hate that they are cheaping out... The infamous "Phillips" board used in the jad line was too pricy or I guess discontinued by supplier. XPLD3k was 10x the quality of the vad27001 as well
👏🏾😎
I’m looking for a alternative. Running a single sa 12 rev 3, 1000 -1200 rms @2 ohms. Any recommendations, clean power
I'm running the same thing with a skar RP 2000.1 and it sounds awesome plus the amp is decently priced.
nice to see an amp that has a bit of predictability built in. Too bad its ugly. But less blown speakers if you know what is actually coming out of the amp.
does anyone know where these amps are made? I've looked just bout everywhere.
China
Have you done any tests with Stetsom amps? Looking at model HL2000.4 2 ohm amp
I tested a Stetsom Ex3000eq... it blew up. Pure poop
TRINA @@bigblank69
@@trinarichardson5183 ?
Class d power has been a blessing,in the old days an amp with this kind of power was a tank and expensive to boot,you youngsters don't have to drop half a paycheck like us old timers did to get this kind of power,lol
It does make it's rated power but doesnt seem to be very efficient.
What do you mean man? What else would you recommend then?
@@joeslacker1020 hi Joe, it's about 69% efficient at 1ohm, which means that the real power draw will likely be around 2500 watts so your electricals need to be strong or planned accordingly to get all that it has to offer. Rest, it looks a great amp. If one doesn't intend to run it at full blast all the time anyways then it sure does look like a good buy.
Can you give Avatar amps a test?
Normally nvx 1 channal amps comes which a bolt on 1/0 gauge adaptor!
Not these... that was a feature on JAD amps... VAD amps do not come with an adapter
@@bigblank69 ok 👍 thanks
I GOT A 2701 AND IT RUNS FINE WITH 4 GA.
Will it run... yes... Are you choking it down and possible going to damage it if you run full tilt... also yes.
Do a nvx 2700.1 please
What's up with that knife Lmfaooooo. Reminds me of 007 when you run out of bullets and you gotta stab folks
Got to use what you got lol
Not bad for $280 on the NV 2700.1.
Hey guys I need some help I got $200 I can spend I’m looking for an amp that can be reliable and can push 500rms at 4ohms I was thinking about kenwood excelon but people tell me they are not reliable I haven’t seen a Dyno of any of them only got 200 to spend so I can’t go over 200 I just need some suggestions on a better amp or is the Kenwood a good choice
Why don’t the manufacturers list dampening factor signal to noise etc. back in the day that’s what I used to sell higher end equipment. Now days it’s like nobody lists these specs. Def can hear a difference between a good amplifier and a cheap amplifier. But yes there is def some inexpensive ones that will get your mirrors shaking!
10:21 song please
Does anyone know any other amps besides the deaf bonce that has the bass knob with all the modes?
Digital Designs M series do
@@bigblank69 so it has the volt meter and the clip indicator and the amp temp? Looking for one about 2500 watss for a resilient sounds platinum 12
Any fan that makes that RRRRRRR sound drives me nuts.
I just picked one up for 100 bucks and it came with 1/0 reducers. Guy was like, yeah it needs these and that’s what I said too lol
So NVX is the house brand for sonicelectronix similarly to how Rockville is house brand for audiosavings
Yes
Yes it is
