Back then people BUILT things up to a SPEC. Now they build everything DOWN to a price. Also know days 95% of items are MADE to break at a certain point in its life. Most likely they build it to break right after whatever warranty it has. Today you get what you pay for if you can read between the lines of all the BIG sell words they try to use to brainwash you into thinking its something its not.
@@4gbmeans4gb61 yup my Memphis PRx1500.1 blew 1 week out and warranty. At the time the amp was $500 for 1500 watts. I mean taraamps is $200 for 3k real watts. The whole point was so it can last me forever. Yet it blew. I fixed it myself 8 months later the fets went out. Maybe I got a lemon. Memphis repaired it for free thankfully but wow I'm never going with super expensive brands anymore hoping they last. I'm going best bang for buck that does real rated power so if it fails in a year I don't cate
I use to run T2 with Rockford T2500 but can’t afford the $3k price tag no more. So now I’m running the DB15 to a single Massive 12” XL 122R. Lots of people may talk down on it. But it’s doing it’s job. For the fraction of cost. Good vid btw.
Running the Rockville Db 16 at 2 ohms on 4 massive audio GTX124 and they push them with no problem. But there power hungry, just make sure you have the juice for it.
Man the precision power ice7000.1 is absolutely the best budget gim ever...I just paid for a second one waiting on it to come in the mail..Love the amp!
First off, really like your videos Ryan. I own a Rockville rxd-m4. (The one big D tested). It’s actually the second one. The first one blew. But the one I have now has been going strong for almost 2 years with no complaints. IMO Rockville is a great budget company with excellent customer service. They exchanged the first one with no questions asked. The one I have now is powering 2 skar ddx12s. And they hit hard. I have no doubts that these amps will produce their rated power (be it dynamic) but you will have to provide them with enough power. Rxd-m4 is rated at about 1500 rms (cea) and I am surely getting more than that with my amp even after box rise. Just wanted to put my 2 cents out there. Keep up the good work. And merry Christmas.
Harkirat Singh 1500 rms on 1 ohm load but these amps could never handle 1 ohm loads they get too hot and then burn up.i bought this amp when they first came out and was banging hard my subs were 500 rms each and the rockville was putting out 1000 rms on a 2 ohm load it was a perfect match.
rhurtadorh32 i guess its a hit or miss with any of these budget amps. But mine still works. And audiosavings does honor their warranty, no questions asked.
Just received mine two days ago and they printed it on my birth sheet THEY LISTEND TO YOU and saw the video THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING YOU MIND IN YOUR VIDEOS!!!
I got to give it to Rockville well made looks and performs very well Im very impressed with the amplifier at it's cost. I own a 1500 watt 750x2 2 channel. Amplifier will be pushing Two oldskool 12" Crossfire DB3 rated @ 750 Watts RMS for the pair.
I have Rockville towerspeakers on my boat and work great and looking to upgrade to one of their amps. I'm not doing stereo competitions it's not that crucial to me so this is exactly the route someone like myself would go for. Thanks for the test.
Rockville is a legit company..... they are trying their best to gain trust of consumers and build a name for themselves. I would not doubt them, and that certificate looks legit, why would you think they go out of their way to make that? You're thinking too much of all the overrated budget amps and your views have be askew. Rockville is a brand you can trust, yes they make entry level stuff but they are also doing their best to stand behind their name.
Thanks for doing these laboratory reviews!..yeah they're not going to simulate the real world, but who can afford to do that on their own? When I read reviews from people who've had these burn, I wonder how well they were installed and just how much dog hair, McD fries, blunts, etc, are acting as insulation (that's probably why most don't have fans). So thanks for that. I'd like to request one of your current Dyno tests of the Rockville DB45, the DB 16s cousin. I'm torn between the DB45, the Pioneer GM-D8604, and the RF R400D...they're about the same price...with similar reviews.
Been bumpin the db15 in sons car and db16 in mine fore over 2 years zero issues. Gave db15 to daughter son has the Wolfram o2400 and so does wife and i upgraded to th o 5000 for the power but db series is flawless for me
@@absalonw007 ok man I'ma give mine a second chance maby it's something I did rushing to get to mid west fest 5 car and bike show now it's cold can't do anything about it right now
Much love big guy. Forever solid and huge respect in the industry. Would you please consider putting the NDA105 2,000 watt rms, 1 ohm stable NVX amp, built by Sonic Electronics I believe. I dig it’s power but she gets hotter than a two pecker’d billy goat. $200 amp
Well... I was gonna say I think I found an amp that does 2000watts rms at 1 Ohm for 160 bucks free shipping new... But the price has sky rocketed on the amp. I used to run a MBQUART DA1-3000.1 on my two 12s at 1 Ohm. At competition it put out 1100 watts at 34hz. I have no idea what the reactive load at 34hz was. 34hz was my peak SPL. Anyway it's like 300+ bucks on eBay now. And I almost didn't buy it cus at the time 160 for it made me think it couldn't have more power than the hfi2000D I had. It was an improvement. Hifonics did 912watts at 34Hz.
This is very enlightening. Every time I go on eBay, they keep showing me a kit of theirs with 2 12s and an amp for like $160. I keep thinking about getting that kit for a work truck, and may actually pull the trigger on it.
Try the shark audio amp or an audiopipe amp. They both put up decent numbers and don't cost that much. Use to be able to get a 3500 watt shark amp for 200 new
The shark amp I had was decent but I only ran it at 2 ohms. I was impressed with it for as cheap as I got it. I think it was 200-250 brand new when I picked it up.
DA BEARDSMEN their amps are legit i had the rxd m4. People were burning due to running them below 1 ohm i never had a problem with it i just needed more power and went with a hifonics brz2400. I just recently got in mail the rockville db45 4 channel amp and you will b impressive on how well these amps are well built.i just dont know durability on the db16
I guess for the money, it’s not bad. I watched a video of this amp being repaired and the tech was explaining the components are extremely cheap and not a real good job on the build. That’s why these amps are inexpensive. Just know you get what you paid for.
Since i understand the reality of a budget amp and its possible issues regarding reliability i decided to buy the db15 which is rated at 1500 at 2 ohms to power my sub which us rated at 1000 rms the idea being that if im not pushing the amp to its max then it should last a lot longer compared to the amp i uaed to have being rated at 750 rms at 2 ohms being pushed to its limits while only giving tge sub 3/4 of what its rated to handle
hi ryan blankenship, i think rockville is made by hifonics, the reason i think this is because i see hifonics stuff sold on the rockville web page. is there anyway to confirm this? my rockville is still going storng after about 3 years. thanks for the vids. it is a great service, it makes it easier to avoid bad deals on lower budget amps.
There is other brands sold there as well. You can buy Alpine, Kicker, MTX and some Memphis items. I dont think it means they are made by Hifonics. Same build house maybe and similarly designed though with the Blue lit logo.
Ryan Blankenship Yes I called them a lot and after 4 days of Calling someone finally answered the dam phone.. the manufacture Company is “Audio Savings” and Rockville is there brand that’s what they told me anyways I explained what happened and how everything was wired up and they told me “ Oh You must of gotten a Bad one” and they said they were gonna send me a replacement once they got the bad one so I sent the bad one back today, they payed return shipping.
Nice video man. I can’t speak for the new dB line of Rockville amps but I have had 7 of the M4 amps burn up. Two of them didn’t even have RCA’s hooked up at the time. I have videos of amps smoking check them out if you want.
Rockville sent me these with a bundled up 2 15 Inch kicker CVX 4 Ohms Subs… shit started burning up 0 GA Wire Tip after 2 Days. Protection mode 30 mins after playing not even all the way up. So I took it to a shop only to find out I need a 1 Ohm Amp. I’m like why would they send me this
looking at skar vd 10 or rockville k6 for under seat foxbox in my nissan titan. really hard finding how good they are. im running a massive audio hippo 15xl now but need my back seat. ordered the foxbox. ill be running my american bass phantom 4000 at 2ohm with 2 dual 2ohm subs wired 4ohm on each sub to pull down to 2ohm at the amp.
They're not horrible amps. They had some subs out for like ten seconds a while back they were k6 12s I wish I could of bought some. The amps would burn some times but they would do close enough to be called truthful never seen one be very under rated though.
Rob Sorgdrager they still sell k6 subs. I think the ones you're thinking of, maybe, are the k9 subs. You can't find the k9 subs anywhere..but the k6 you can buy from a few places.
But once again amp dyno test have fooled the eyes of amateurs why are you not using 0 gauge why do you not have sufficient amount of power to run an amp dyno? The reason why the American bass amps didn't hit their rated power is because you don't have enough power to push them you can't run those apps because you're have insufficient power you need power to run those
Ryan Blankenship man I'm just giving you a hard time. Now I feel bad. Anyhow thanks for the review. My dilemma at the moment....... Wife's Christmas present was a Chinese Android head unit (which is overwhelmingly f@$#ing awesome for under 200$) and an entire new speaker install for her new Veloster. So I got all the interior speakers setup, didn't want much wattage but the Chinese HUs put out next to nothing RMS. So bought a Dual 400w to run set of component in front and mid bass 6.5s backseat. Dual amp blew immediately. But already in the middle of install, so I took the amp running her subs and put it to the cabin speakers, but her losing her sub amp.......so. TALK ABOUT LONG WINDED!!!!!!!! My options are either giving her the Rockville 1500 out of my trunk and buying something new for myself, or buying a new amp for her. So the question is, can I beat the 1500w Rockville for under a hundred bucks??
Ryan Blankenship yeah I'm working with a top mount depth of 5.5 on the fox acoustics titan box. 1.5 front space before sub hits the floor. I think the k9 is to big
Please let me make it crystal clear before someone finds out the hard way. I currently have 2 different db series amplifiers that I have to send back out of my own pocket. Yes they will do pretty close to and above what they advertise but they will not do it for long. The damn things must have their own watches because they absolutely know what time it is. As soon as that warranty runs out those bastards are clocking out. Just for your confidence yes I do know exactly how to install and use this equipment. I've been doing installs for 20+ yrs so I would say I'm qualified and don't know anyone who would argue different. All installs were at 4 ohms with 14.25 volts after drops. These amps ran off of their own designated AGM no sharing at all. When the first one went to hell(DB55) I replaced it with a DB45 and also replaced the soundquest AGM with a Shuriken. Each crapped out in 2 months or less with totally different problems. They were by no means abused, gains never past %30. I know what I'm doing and what I'm not. So no more Rockville Amps till I see proof that they have improved their quality. I really wanted to like them but... Oh yeah FUCK those tiny speaker terminals! They will cause a brain tumor so fuck them like cancer.
Emmitt Bishop I've bought a few of there amps that have been blown just to repair them and I noticed that most of them have the same problem. The toroids on the output section don't have much if any silicone or glue stabilizing them. I mean its just held down by two thin sections of wire to the board and the toroids are heavy. They eventually circum to vibration and break. Also if you notice the transistors are bent over 90 degrees to attach to the heatsink and they break at the bend, especially the output sections of the bigger amps because they have larger fets and the thick metal legs dont take kindly to being bent. I believe if people glue the toroids down and lay solder over the legs of the fets the amps would last forever. I know this is rockvilles job and not ours but this advice would save some shipping headaches!
My 2nd one just blew was nowhere near full tilt. I'd just hooked it up last night. voltage was showing right at 13 volts. The bass knob was about half way up and my subs are wired to 2 Ohm and read a little over 2 ohm at resting. I'm not going to try a 3rd one. I'm looking for a replacement now though.
They are likely going into protect because Rockville builds in some annoyingly strict protection. Ohms too low, protect. Voltage too low or too high, protect. Everyone does that but Rockville seems to be the most strict. My db15 would go into protect like crazy in my old car because the alternator couldn't keep up. Running it in my new car with a 240amp alt and not having any problems. Ive had it for a year and two months.
Mine goes into protect when the gain is turned up over half way. 0GA 12v and GND, 130a alternator, 10 farad cap, voltage never drops below 13.5. sending this pos back.
I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything. I don't kniw much about this stuff so my question is serious. I just wonder where a gain has to be to get the rated wattage
About a week in with the db45, running four 12s. Had it screwed down to the box, and then read that that might not be the best place for it. Don't want to put a bunch of holes in my van, so I decided to bungee cord it to the back of a seat. Damn thing pushes those 12s pretty well. If it fails, I'll come back and let you know.
Installed a db15 on a pair of rockville k9 12'', and a db25 on 4 rockville 6.5", in 2019. Good power, trouble free 🙂 My charging system can't follow (chevy Volt) I added a capacitor but both amps shut down sometimes during high pull (low voltage protection I think).
Yep no problem. But I'd actually get better subs than kickers. This amp actually does really good power and throws out alot as long as you have sufficient electrical..
Believe it or not, but the average home has 15- 20 amp circuit breakers. Doesn't really take much to overload a breaker in a house specially when using high current equipment like an amplifier that uses more current than your power supply has to offer
In 98 I paid 900for a sound stream Rubicon 1002 and have been beating it to death for 20 yrs👍

What do you do with the amps you buy?
My question would be. How good is your batt. bank. Seems as if you lost almost all power on uncert. test. And you fall short on a lot of dyno runs.
In the future, will you be testing Planet Audio? Interested of the 5 ch unit.
I have 2 M5's 3 years no problem
Great Job
Bass knob case is metal but is the potentiometer inside metal? That is the question! Well, one of the questions anyway..
It will no problem
ZRX or the new ZXX. They are the more affordable line, but I don't believe they put out rated. I love Hifonics Brutus but the Zeus line I question.
I want to see what this amp will do at 1ohm thanks
I'm guessing that Rockville is better than SKAR.
Nice..can you try the Pioneer GM-D8601?
Edrick Mendez it’s been tested, it does rated.
I have it....it does what it says.
Edrick Mendez I tried so Rockville amps the both are no good be careful..I love the Hifonics amps the work great own 4 of them
I'd like to see Hifonics Zeus mono amps tested.
I think that there's a lot of good amps out there.. Some even do what they say they r
Will.. My skar amps work

What's the difference between certified and uncertified ? Can someone help me with that please?
How many volts it takes to tur on in vehicle?do I need extra battery for it?
Best budget 2k watt amp is the skar rp 2000.1
Ya that's a good amp also as long as your running it at 1 ohm though
Why do you feel it's a true 2k amp?
liftingheavy1 I’ve clamped mine and it does rated and more
True
That's not zero gauge Holmes, 2awg at best on the power but that's using Rockville brand which is true 4awg so...
Its 1/0 gauge man, if you havent seen it in person just stfu...
I have a BAMF1.8000D amp on 2 12s powerbass 3xls i would to see that amp dyno
Lots of unserty on this one ryan
Nice, good video 👍
Pourrais tu faire le rockville DB 15 ? s'il te plait ? merci ! ;)
What kind of power system does this require? AGM with 100amp fuse on 4awg, cut it with this?
Nope, if sticking with agm, get 150+ amp hours and you want 0 gauge OFC
Rockville isn't too bad.
Black Lives Don't Matter To Ni99as I had one of their white m series marine amplifier the rxm m10 for 3 years now
nightmare in action nighmare in action
I ran a couple of their 10's on low power for a few months (winter system) and have no complaints.
Black Lives Don't Matter To Ni99as I ranned mines on 2ohm for about a year and I got anothee speaker 1ohm no problems till this day

Nice.I recommend this company to people all the time.Great low cost stuff that does hold up when ran properly.
Wow.......your review is exhausting bro.
Ryan Blankenship man I'm just giving you a hard time. Now I feel bad. Anyhow thanks for the review. My dilemma at the moment....... Wife's Christmas present was a Chinese Android head unit (which is overwhelmingly f@$#ing awesome for under 200$) and an entire new speaker install for her new Veloster. So I got all the interior speakers setup, didn't want much wattage but the Chinese HUs put out next to nothing RMS. So bought a Dual 400w to run set of component in front and mid bass 6.5s backseat. Dual amp blew immediately. But already in the middle of install, so I took the amp running her subs and put it to the cabin speakers, but her losing her sub amp.......so. TALK ABOUT LONG WINDED!!!!!!!! My options are either giving her the Rockville 1500 out of my trunk and buying something new for myself, or buying a new amp for her. So the question is, can I beat the 1500w Rockville for under a hundred bucks??
Test BOOG AMPLIFIER from Brasil...the best of AMPLIFIER /STETSON
men if you can test the old sundown saz 2500 their first model?
all i find is amps doing rather good. wanting to know how the subs hold up
Ryan Blankenship yeah I'm working with a top mount depth of 5.5 on the fox acoustics titan box. 1.5 front space before sub hits the floor. I think the k9 is to big
I seen that you tested with a 40Hz test tone, I THINK that Rockville tests with white noise which is easier on the amplifier I believe.
It's not, and no they do not on amps
@@bigblank69 Thanks for verifying that. There is always a lot of false information floating around about car audio in general.
what size fuse would you recommend running with this amp inline to the battery?
200a and it comes with it when u buy it
Rockville m5 any difference?
Please let me make it crystal clear before someone finds out the hard way. I currently have 2 different db series amplifiers that I have to send back out of my own pocket. Yes they will do pretty close to and above what they advertise but they will not do it for long. The damn things must have their own watches because they absolutely know what time it is. As soon as that warranty runs out those bastards are clocking out. Just for your confidence yes I do know exactly how to install and use this equipment. I've been doing installs for 20+ yrs so I would say I'm qualified and don't know anyone who would argue different. All installs were at 4 ohms with 14.25 volts after drops. These amps ran off of their own designated AGM no sharing at all. When the first one went to hell(DB55) I replaced it with a DB45 and also replaced the soundquest AGM with a Shuriken. Each crapped out in 2 months or less with totally different problems. They were by no means abused, gains never past %30. I know what I'm doing and what I'm not. So no more Rockville Amps till I see proof that they have improved their quality. I really wanted to like them but...
Oh yeah FUCK those tiny speaker terminals! They will cause a brain tumor so fuck them like cancer.
Emmitt Bishop I've bought a few of there amps that have been blown just to repair them and I noticed that most of them have the same problem. The toroids on the output section don't have much if any silicone or glue stabilizing them. I mean its just held down by two thin sections of wire to the board and the toroids are heavy. They eventually circum to vibration and break. Also if you notice the transistors are bent over 90 degrees to attach to the heatsink and they break at the bend, especially the output sections of the bigger amps because they have larger fets and the thick metal legs dont take kindly to being bent. I believe if people glue the toroids down and lay solder over the legs of the fets the amps would last forever. I know this is rockvilles job and not ours but this advice would save some shipping headaches!
My 2nd one just blew was nowhere near full tilt. I'd just hooked it up last night. voltage was showing right at 13 volts. The bass knob was about half way up and my subs are wired to 2 Ohm and read a little over 2 ohm at resting. I'm not going to try a 3rd one. I'm looking for a replacement now though.
Can you do a Rockville db15 dyno?
Does it have a fan
How good will it be on qpowers 15s
has anyone used this amp for years? I mean, I see a lot of negative reviews saying they eventually go into protect mode. No longevity I suppose.
This amp has only been out a little over a year
They are likely going into protect because Rockville builds in some annoyingly strict protection. Ohms too low, protect. Voltage too low or too high, protect. Everyone does that but Rockville seems to be the most strict. My db15 would go into protect like crazy in my old car because the alternator couldn't keep up. Running it in my new car with a 240amp alt and not having any problems. Ive had it for a year and two months.
Mine goes into protect when the gain is turned up over half way. 0GA 12v and GND, 130a alternator, 10 farad cap, voltage never drops below 13.5. sending this pos back.
Been running db 15 and 16 for nearly 3 years zero issues
I'm just curious. When doing these dynos where is the gain set?
I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything. I don't kniw much about this stuff so my question is serious. I just wonder where a gain has to be to get the rated wattage
Do a torture test... At it's limit for 5 hrs.. Lol.. That'd b fun
Amp is good but for some reason mine goes into protect mode wen I turn it up
wired wrong or blown out
How about the db15? How does it do
Son bumped 1 for 2 years now daughter has it no problems at all
What is the name of that track? love it!!
Terry the cab 1600.1
Have you done a dyno on a skar rp1500?
What is the gain set on on the test?
Try the cab 1600 .1
Ryan Blankenship they discontinued them ? Ive been saving up to buy one ..... Do you know if they replaced them with some thing else
I wonder how these amps that you test survive daily use.
About a week in with the db45, running four 12s. Had it screwed down to the box, and then read that that might not be the best place for it. Don't want to put a bunch of holes in my van, so I decided to bungee cord it to the back of a seat. Damn thing pushes those 12s pretty well. If it fails, I'll come back and let you know.
Ran db 15 and 16 for close to 3 years zero issues
Installed a db15 on a pair of rockville k9 12'', and a db25 on 4 rockville 6.5", in 2019. Good power, trouble free 🙂
My charging system can't follow (chevy Volt)
I added a capacitor but both amps shut down sometimes during high pull (low voltage protection I think).
try a skar rp.2000 please
ok for sure, and the soundstream x3.2k4 please
Talk less dyno more👍
Soo the box says 4000 RMS but the amp only dose 2000 RMS
Ryan Blankenship sounds to me like they wish the amps where stronger
How much did it cost
Would you put dis amp on 4 15" cvx kickers
Yep no problem. But I'd actually get better subs than kickers. This amp actually does really good power and throws out alot as long as you have sufficient electrical..
When an amp draws so much juice it is blowing circuits in your home I am going to say the efficiency may be suspect.
Believe it or not, but the average home has 15- 20 amp circuit breakers. Doesn't really take much to overload a breaker in a house specially when using high current equipment like an amplifier that uses more current than your power supply has to offer
can i put 6 180w speakers with 2 1200w subs?
No
I need to figure out how to fool my pcm regulated charging system to run 14 volts , then something like this would be killah .
if you have a dodge/jeep there are vids on tricking the ecu
Thx u thx u taramps smart3
