Holy crap! That was by far the fastest and most thorough explanation of how an amp works I have ever seen! Very nice!
👦 i.
@@RWL2012 Got me as well mate. What's up "Joe Frick"? "Nobody Knows. LOL.
had to watch it slowed down set the play speed to .5 to tealy understand
Is the hifonics be35 4000.1D any good? I cant find no dyno or gut shots for this amp.
@@rhurtadorh32 I dont know but i'll tell you this, theres no way I would spend $900 on a 4000 watt Hifonics amp. You can definitely do better than that .
Being in the car audio game since the mid 90s, you are the FIRST PERSON I have ever seen/heard that has the knowledge and ease of explaining things, not that I could memorize or fully grasp some of it, but damn, thorough and to the point! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and seeing your vids alongside the 2 big amp test guys now anyone can fully grasp anything and EVRYTHING needed and more than most people that have been around for decades, like myself! Thank you, liked and subscribed!
Yeah he knocked this one out of the park
One thing for the Rockville's are that they are priced reasonable to RMS output.
Same, your channel is a true gold mine for the car audio people out there. People need to be sharing you channel 23/7!
I would like to see some of the so called top shelf amps dyno tested.
Sam's videos are always top notch, informative, and well laid out. One of my favorite CZcams channels by far.
i love the way you are in-depth in your vids and instructional, makes things more easily to understand. Great vid man, keep it up and thanks!!
Who the hell are you!..... by far one of the best tech guys i've seen and listened to just subscribed great video
He's my hero. I started watching his video a year or two ago, with the intent on fixing some of my amps but most of all learning whats going on. I just haven't been able to Penny up for the equipment yet so I've fallen off a bit on watching.
This! Just found this guy. Genius and funny 😂
When I see peak Wattage I go blind. I can only see RMS!!!
The only problem here is Rockville's RMS ratings are full of crap too. You have to look at their "CEA" ratings in the small print just to get a ballpark number for the output capability of what it should produce, and not what actually produces. To make things worst, they even include a bogus birthsheet.🤦♂️
I seriously haven’t even looked at anything with a peak rating since I had Sony xplods from Walmart when I was 9 lo.
@@fd1596 alot of people claim there new rockville db comp5 is really good with a korean board. how about the hifonics be35 4000.1D you think that amp is any good?
@@rhurtadorh32 I use to love Hifonics amplifiers but their numbers can't be trusted anymore. I've seen Dyno videos of the new Rockville amps and I think they're pretty good.
Very informative video, thank you for sharing your knowlenge! You definitely know your stuff! Hilarious ratings on that amp..
Remarkable, I understand every single word of what he says.... Great video and explanations. He really knows what he is talking about. Keep it up!!!
yes, excellent circuit description! top marks mate! Someone on youtube that actually understands half wave switched mode class D amplifier operation!
That was great! Cannot wait to see what a modified Rockville would produce! Cheers buddy!!
I would like to see this to I wonder if he ever got around to doing it
This gentleman is definitely educated and he has the right equipment. Well done. Thank you for your time!
Very informative! I love the way you break down technical subjects into easy to understand language.
Thank you very much for performing this..... it's been a long debate and lots of people have been very upset with Rockville so I'm very happy with you actually going ahead and doing this video... It would be very interesting to see what you can actually do with some circuits to make this thing better
Best informative amp bench test/review I have ever seen. We need more!!!
You are one very smart person mate. Respect. Thanks for uploading
U are the man brotha i love the way u SCHOOLED them awesome video that deserves a 👍🏼👍🏼 (✌🏼💪🏼🔈💪🏼🔉💪🏼🔊)
So glad you got in on the action! Wish I could send you my broken amps
This is friggin great man, I had no clue you did in depth Amp vids like this. I've been subscribed for years and stupid CZcams never puts you on my feed. Definitely going on your page to find more. Need to learn more about the Amp workings and test equipment!
Thanks!!!
Great info, great frankness, and great energy! Cheers!
YES PLEASE DO THAT!! Take a Rockville db16 and modify it to make the power it claims! That would be an AMAZING video and then Sell your design to Rockville!! Because obviously their "designers" suck! Thank you for another Brilliant Idea in another Brilliant video brother!!
I have a db 15 "6kw" would love to see you mod one similar
i love what you do man....I never comment on anything to much bullshit and dramma in comments, lol..... but what you do and how you do it is superb!!! keep up the great work.
The live stream amp repairs are always awesome! Not only do you get to see the actual repair process, you can learn a bit about it as well.
I always learn something when I watch one of your videos! Another great one 🔊🔊
Hey bro you are the only person who gives a good explanation of these electronics
Thanks for the input, I know you're a busy man, several of my bass group out of Colorado subscribe, taking time out for fans, makes you top notch in my book, and your Zed 4s and build is badass......
This is my FAVORITE amp video of all time! lol Awesome work brotha! Subscribed!!
appreciate the video couple times I was forced to mount on box never doing that ever again after watching this! Thanks
I loved this review so much that I Liked and Subscribed. Thank you.
Fast, smart and funny as hell. I love your videos.
I like being showed, not being told! That was very informative!
Absolutely the best explanation of what the hell is going on in an amp. #manythanks definitely my favorite channel now
I LOVE watching your videos
Awesome video. Glad more people are getting in on this topic
I've always enjoyed your vids, your super smart. Keep up the great work
OMG this is a good move hi teach,
yeah you did good with this one I thought that buy in Rockville and playing under those numbers would be a safe thing to do for me 1750 is not a bad place to be I'm a daily bass head and the price that they sell them at is not bad either having you backing up the quality and replacement upgrades makes it worthwhile for me to buy this I'm sure it will have the same effect on others #Rockvilleaudio needs this video badly! @rockville @rockvilleaudio #rockville well done teach

Awesome thank u so much i have the db comp 5 and i got it few years ago on amazon for under 300 and was very impressed with the way the amp looked , felt, sounded, everything i have it on 2 american bass xfl 12s dvc2 running at 2ohm and i have gain less then half bass less then half it slams! No issues so far love the amp. I noticed thr price has gone up considerably to bout 500 bucks but id still pay it knowing whst i know now.
I have two db comp5's, and two dbcomp4's.
One of my 5's did pop some fets (not badly)- electrical wasn't up, and low voltage got it. No burns, no smoke - 8 fets and the gate resistors.
The dbcomp series are beasts.
You are a scientist!! Amazing explanation
great video ! keep up the good work ! love watching your vids
Great video! Please do this for more amps! Id love to see you break down the components and failure points of popular amp models and compare the real cost and quality of the components to the price of the amp.
Great video with great info. Keep it coming very enjoyable content.
OMG You are funny as all out doors when you get in Rockville's business,,,,Keep up the good work and Thanks for being REAL
i did watch the gem or bust prior to this and was ready to buy all sounded great but then this guy saved me the money,back to researching a 5 ch amp thanks
I usually watch your videos at 1.5 speed - that explanation was .75!
You nailed it = the most consice explanation I've ever seen
I love this guy. Genius.
Smiles, I used to love the grocery store amps coming in with ridiculous wattage claims 3000+3000W's... and has a 10 amp fuse on the chassis. I love your explanations, right on, no frills, realistic.
Nice to see a guy that knows everything about the internals & not just test the power.
This guy is as hilarious as he is knowledgeable. I'm still chuckling!! Bravo dude!
RIGHT BEFORE THE 19:00 minute mark and for the next minute he goes TF off 😂😂😂😂
🤣
Lol
WAYNE Omega yeah, he got pissed LoL
Lol lol 😆
I've been laughing my ass off since the Rockville live feed.... The memes have been savage. LOL!
This is from the same company that makes these Subwoofer drivers that eat themselves I think. Dishonesty in power has been with us for years. With over 50 years in AV, I have seen it all. Nice to see someone calls it as it is. So refreshing. This Rockville is a stone. Great channel man!
Thanks for sharing. I've learned a few things
This is great I love the bench test and the review just subscribed
Dude thank you for this. Entertaining to watch and gives me some insight into the brand. Currently considering a RXM8BTB. Will continue to research the model
Yup just subbed love it when people know what they are talking about!!!
Good video, thank you. You're a first in these kind of videos. Looking forward to internal 'bolt-on' mod videos for car amps 👌
too bad i didnt meet you on modified nationals this year, would have loved it too meet the man with the golden hands, keep up the amazing work 👌👍👍
I created all this Rockville nonsense originally !! 😂😂😂I’m getting a kick out of it now .
Your vids are very informative too. You’re very intelligent and I would like to chill and listen to you for hours .
What A Great Video, So Understandable !
This was refreshing to watch. I hope the new Orion amps have gotten better on build quality, I just bought 2 of the XTR 1500.2. I wish I could find a dyno video on that particular amp.
Recommend to me... This was extremely insightful ! Subbed ✊
You know 4 years ago Rockville had a 1 ohm monoblock Williston Audio Labs dyno'd the Rockville RXD-M4 1500W on the SMD AD-1. At 1 ohm certified he only got 1267 watts, but in the uncertified he got 1546 watts, and in the dynamic he got 2128 watts, he also ran a .5 ohm test in dynamic mode and got 3154 watts. I'm not saying they are great amps, but that one for $150 seemed worth it for newbies. But obviously they have changed many things with ratings since then, that RXD-M4 was rated 1500 cea and 3000 rms, which as you point to is only them trying to sell as many as possible.
Really nice vid. great detailed explanations!
Ok it’s about time I find someone who explains how an amp works
Great video!
I know this videos is old but that walk through was LEGENDARY! F*cking awesome! 👊
Great explanation 👌
Thanks for your help

You're a genius bro! 👍
Awesome video!
EXCELLENT VIDEO AS ALWAYS BROTHER!!!!
Good video, I learned a few things. Thanks!
You are smart AF, my friend.

Great video and respectable criticism and also calling out companies over rating the product..
You are the man. Thank you for the great knowledge. I think Rockville is going to call you. LOL
Nice work
The amplifier legend has spoken 👍
And, that amplifier is smokin'.🤣😁😝

I don't know what any of this means but it sounds sick AF. Subbed.
The king of amp repair has spoken
I’m from Minnesota USA. Your vid’s are definitely a treasure trove of valuable information. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Rockville DB5. Great job keep up the good work👌
I enjoyed this video. It was funny as hell! 😂😂

0:53-2:08 was so choice! great job man!
Great video good bass knowledge to have.
Great Work! Way to kill the FUD coming from Rockville!
great vid bro
It is nice to see your take on them. You had my hopes rising there too. Too bad for them. Hopefully they just wise up and step up again without trying to bs everyone.
19:10 is my favorite bit. Every time.
I loved this video!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🙌🏽👍🏼👍🏼keep it up my bro!!!!!😎
Awesome video sir. This company is just one of many that are going to get ripped down.. soon others will fall too. Consumers are smarter then these companies think we are. Good to see videos like this to keep companies real.
