    And I put to rest some of the comments I received that my dummy load resistances might not be accurate and that's why Im getting these low numbers on some amplifiers.

  • @SoundExtreme1
    @SoundExtreme1 Před 9 lety +6

    At any point did we learn what your power supply was capable of? I see 14.4 volts which is what every amp is rated at for CEA compliance but am curious as to the amperage capability of your power source. If it is capable of 300 amps for the duration of the test, that's good enough for me. If not, then your test may fall short from lack of power.
    Also would like to know the signal source...this is important because as we all know, a subpar signal (low voltage) will fail to drive the amp sufficiently either.

    • @TheAmpLab
      @TheAmpLab  Před 9 lety

      Most cars are not capable of 300A either. So this test is actually more relevant to real world. CEA ratings are also only at 4-ohm. Not anything lower, so its not compatible anyways.

    • @SoundExtreme1
      @SoundExtreme1 Před 9 lety +4

      Yes sir I agree BUT the person buying a 2400w RMS amp will hopefully have enough sense to upgrade the power supply rather than rely on the stock alternator/battery.
      The power supply is critical to show what the amp is truly capable of. If you don't have the current, then your test means nothing because the amp was held back by the supply.
      The manufacturer isn't lying if they supply the amp with 14.4V and more than enough amperage to get the rated power. That's the point.
      I understand real world application but it isn't fair when it comes to a huge amp like that. EVERY single manufacturer uses the 14.4V supply on their test bench so if you want to be truthful and accurate you must also do the same.
      Example: It isn't fair to test a Kicker 600w RMS amp which is also rated at 14.4V and then bash another amp that is much larger using the same exact rating method when you don't have enough power to supply that larger amp.

    • @TheAmpLab
      @TheAmpLab  Před 9 lety +1

      If the final voltage ends up being close to the same with each amplifier then it is more than fair.

    i like that you're voltage is kinda realistic on any stock electrical system... however the rated 2ohm measurement on this is not any where near what you said. it's rated 1600rms @2ohms... now if i remember that is based off of a 14.4v electrical system. the difference in your 12.9v and 14.4v is pretty significant to reach any where near that level of certified power. but in the real world, this is exactly what your average buyer or novice car audio enthusiast is going to receive from this amp. if you want to see what potential the hifonics line really holds you can check steve meade's run on these amps and see that they actually hold pretty true to their "rated" power which is 14.4v, not what you are displaying here.

      @Dalgobitches Před 7 lety

      The Amp Lab ok, it might show the voltage and amps after each run.... BUT the voltage is super low! Basically if a 1950s VW BUG was running the amp. I honestly don't know how you don't see that all of the NEW amps are rated @ 14.4volts. However any amp that was made before 2006, (actually before '99 tbh), was usually measured at 12.8 volts with a 1kz test tone. I mean no disrespect, but you are giving false readings! Please do some research before saying things that YOU know NOTHING about... GOOD DAY SIR!
      Ohh also, you don't have enough power(voltage or amperage) to ACTUALLY give fair readings on many of these amps! I find the fact that you think you can measure the capacities of many of these prized electrical amplifiers is actually a sham!!!! Next time you make a video stating the performance of any amplifier, you either do your research ch and included it in the video, or you will be shut down for LIES! The main reason I have concluded that your videos are strong with BS, is because of the fact that you don't have the equipment to accurately measure these products.
      So -- from here on forthcoming, you are served with a cease and desist! Your actions are false and you have no ability to provide these products with proper operating tendencies. We wish to stop such arguments before a review of the proposed media is given false observation. We have dedicated many years to the research and development of such products, and feel that such a video gives false information about our products. Your reading at 12.8 volts is far below current standards for new readings that are required for a CES 2006 requirement of 14.4 volts.

      B: For quite some time now I have had 10 XS Power D1400 14V batteries to test with. Yes, TEN! The amp still did not make rated power. If it can't make rated power (when many other amps have on my bench) on 10 14V batteries (that rest around 14.7V), then there is no way it is making rated power in your, or anyone elses vehicle.

      The Amp Lab I have no association with Crunch USA or Hifonics, and actually YES, 14.4 volts and higher can be held if a person knows what they're doing! I have a sponsor from a different company, but this was the latest video I have seen. And the cease and desist is real and you will be getting the formal letter soon.
      If what you want to do is give accurate measurements of some of these amplifiers then you need to state the fact the you are not able to give the correct readings. I will not go as far as to tell you my sponsor, only that they have surpassed your so called "benchmark", but however do not agree with your methods. If you continue to state that you are giving accurate readings with your current set-up, you will be contacted by some of these manufacturers who will be asking that you put a disclaimer in you videos that you don't have the actually ability, nor the preface to shell out false information if you cannot give the specified info of certain amplifiers according to your test bench of 10,(YES 10! XS 1400 14.4v batteries!)
      This is in my own personal opinion now..... I don't know if you are stupid or just don't know a damn thing about how to properly set-up a serious car audio power distribution interface, but batteries are only a single part of what's supposed to go on. In a serous set-up, there will be voltage regulators AND additional power supplies to basically keep every single last millivolt and milliamperes present! I can only guess that because of the fact that you don't know this, you are at the very most possibly 18 and you don't understand A GOD DAMN THING ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

This is when they rated what they actually put out. I have a bxx model the newest current model. And its rated at 3000 watts at 1ohm. But it only has a 250 amp fuse. So 2500watts of actual usable power. I have two batteries and a 240 alternator with OFC true American standard 0 gauge.and it still drops voltage down to 12.5v off my trunk battery. I have a Optima red top pushing a bxx 750.4 amp and a 2500 bxx 1ohm amp. I gotta run another 0 gauge cable to this back battery and recheck my voltage after.

    Nice video, can you test the Hifonics X1200.4? And can you tell on average what power an amp can do by just looking at the fuse (amp*volt*eff).

  • @jasonjackson329
    @jasonjackson329 Před 8 lety +12

    Lol dude said since it's a cea amp that means it has to put out rated power! Hahah what a fool - & I don't use this brand but I hear lots of good things and don't think this dyno was done accurately as there needs to be a solid 14.4 to amp and this was not even close. But who knows. Doesn't make or break me

    • @TheAmpLab
      @TheAmpLab  Před 8 lety +1

      CEA is a marketing tool. it's at 4-ohm only for one thing, and the company gets to pick which amp gets sampled. doesn't seem very accurate to me either.

      Your right kicker KX does a little over rated. Now some of the lower priced models may not do 100% of there rated power but that's to be expected from any company that offers several series of amps from economy to their top of the line models.

    Bro you're only going to get the "certified" test if your feeding it 14.4 volts. Most hifonics are certified at 14.4 except some of the really large ones that can be take above 16.

  • @davidnicholas9943
    @davidnicholas9943 Před 9 lety

    Can you please give me an idea of what certified vs. Uncertified rating means? And over all what's the best bang for your buck anp? I've watched a few of your videos and was impressed with the 1500w rating on the 1200w amp. I was just given two kicker 15inch dual-core 2ohm cvr subs. Not my ideal jl w7 has great bass. Your opinion is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    • @TheAmpLab
      @TheAmpLab  Před 9 lety +2

      Certified shows how much power the amp made before it hit 1% distortion. 1% is what many believe to be the audible limit. Do anything below that is inaudible distortion. So certified is perfectly clean power. Uncertified is up to clipping. This is the point where the waveform coming out of the amp no longer resembles a "wave". The amp has run out of headroom. Clipping kills sub's.

    • @davidnicholas9943
      @davidnicholas9943 Před 9 lety

      Thanks I've been on all day and watching these dyno tests and have some understanding now. Now as for the second question with the two fifteen kicker cvr 2ohm subs.... I've read over all the different configurations and am trying to discern my best approach on setting up this system. I'm on a budget and throwing them into a stock 05 Honda Accord. I've taken them out the box and they are wires parallel. I believe rms is 1000w. Any configuration info is greatly appreciated. Or best amp idea. Thanks.

    • @TheAmpLab
      @TheAmpLab  Před 9 lety

      +Trebuer22 Where are you seeing 5 channels??? One is the remote turn-on, and the other 4 terminals are speaker outputs. There are 2 positive terminals and 2 negative terminals, but they are paralleled inside, making it a mono, single channel amplifier. They simply give you two of each terminals so you don't need to try to cram two sets of speaker wires in each terminal.

Thing is the 3200 watt zeuss doesent have a fuse. I had it and a hifonics brutis elite hooked up they were ran together the 500 watt is same thing. It has fuses but there fine. So? What happens when the amp wire thats exsposed touches the back of the metal cd player. What does it do to the amps. Are they fixable. And is it worth the time to fix thanks.

  • @apocalypse4720
    @apocalypse4720 Před 9 lety

    You must not be getting the full voltage these amp needs, that amp is ceased compliant which means it will do what it's rated and more, my brz2400 was benched and mine at 14.6 put out a average of 2650 watts. Hifonics is power hungry they need more batteries and stronger alts then most amps.

    • @TheAmpLab
      @TheAmpLab  Před 9 lety

      CEA compliant doesn't mean it will do its power necessarily. They only rate them at 4-ohm. Doesn't mean it will do what its supposed to at 1-ohm. Not only that but the manufacturer gets to pick the sample used for testing.

Cause even if 1 ohm RMS power is meet, it probably won't last a long time because it lacks stamina. There's no room headroom, no room for error.
