- Do Unicorns exist? Can pigs actually fly? And has Power Acoustik ever created a amplifier that is accurately rated? I got a lot of people who messaged me after the Power Acoustik RZR1-2300D video and told me it looked exactly like the RZR1-2500D from Walmart they bought that is rated at 650W RMS @ 2ohms... meaning if they ARE the same amp... than this would be a accurately rated amp from Power Acoustik based on the 2300D test conducted months ago.... In this Quickie series video we will take a look at this $69 amp from Walmart and see once and for all if Power Acoustik has built a accurately rated amplifier....

Gasp, an accurately rated power acoustic? Nice find, Ryan.
Thx for the detailed dyno. Prefect amps, rms watts, and size for what I needed for a in-home setup. Grabbed the last one at my local Walmart. $97.
I've installed two of these amps in two different cars before this review, wasn't disappointed then, definitely not disappointed now
Man FINALLY a Dyno run on this amp. Running two, each powering 10"kicker comp r's in a 1.1cf sealed with poly and rubber coated back wall. After watching this I'm running basically the rated RMS for each sub. No wonder they always sounded sweet since day one in my vdub.
no box should say anything other than the true power... period
Or rms🤷🏻♀️
Agreed. But you're never going to get every manufacturer to agree to that ALL AT THE SAME TIME. So some brands will continue, just because the brand sold next to them is doing it and they don't want to lose business on that uneducated customer.
@@firebirdude2 that's why you stick with reputable brands like soundqubed, sundown audio, DC audio, crescendo, deaf bounce, ct sounds
@@WelskyOG You're still looking at it from the consumer perspective. All those brands don't make DICK for money compared to the big box brands. Even Maxxsonics brands like Hifonics make more money than all of those brands, easily. You can call it preying on the uneducated. I agree. But unless everybody stops at once, it's never going to change.
@@firebirdude2 You don't need every brand to agree...All you need is a decently sized class action lawsuit on brands that false advertise RMS ratings or pass further legislation on what's already law and MAKE them be honest with their ratings, but.....companies won't make money, people will lose jobs to recoup lost profits and the government will lose in the end. Welcome to Corporate Welfare America
I have owned several Power Acoustik amps. They have never failed me other than power rating. They have always been built well. Having one properly rated is exciting. Way to go PA.
Thank you for doing this video! Never thought I would see it! Thank you again!
Glad I kept the box. It'll probably be a collectors item someday.
Because of this video, I bought a unicorn! Thanks Ryan!!!
@BASSN SANE is the Acoustik 1200 any good
I did too
Not sure if your burend out yet Ryan with power acustic but they have a 3500.1d just got the rz1200.4
@@terryjohnson7080 I got 2 15s I use
Say it ain't so! Go Epsilon!! Now, correct the ratings on the other amps and we will count this as a total win! Actually, if you think about it, this should be the norm, not the exception. The fact many companies are still misleading consumers with ratings is appalling. However, this is a step in the right direction, now let's keep their feet to the fire and long for the day when all companies rate amplifiers accurately...
BigDWiz I told him that's a 2.500 and not a 2500D but he told me I was wrong
I have no idea what the amp is actually pushing. No access to a Dyno. I bought a box of 2 Kenwood 12s for 80 at a pawnshop. The amp isn't 69$ at Walmart. It's 99$ and comes with a bass knob. The amp is tiny but it bangs harder than my old Fosgate amp and my old JL audio W3 13"
It is people like you and Ryan who may cause a change in the misleading ratings. You all are saving a lot of people from buying an underpowered amp for their application.
Nice to FINALLY find a Dyno test of this amp. I have two running at 4 ohm each pushing a 10" kicker comp R in my vdub. Now I can try precisely set the gains since it's right at the RMS of the the subs
Amen nothing pisses me off more didn't see some outrageous wattage list on the box or the amp.
Perfect! Short, sweet and to the point.
Im really schocked it did that well.. good job PA... Great video thanks again sir.
I own 2 of them, the oldest one is pushing a 10” Kicker easy, the newer one is pushing 2-12” Skar SDR and this little amp is a real beast, it make my visors to shake very hard. And it’s are so compact it can fit underneath my passenger seat completely unnoticeable.
Takes some high voltage to get it but still an impressive value! I used to love PA. Good to see them doing it right again.
This model shares same board as Prescision Power Ion. Made in Korea. Great bang for buck power.
Great deal for the power for sure. Tested one on 3-15" (400rms/ea.) subs, in a ported box. Very impressed! I was not expecting the output at all.
Hell I had 2 and it push the hell out of them man 💯
New sub here. I like the way you test them !!! Save us time and money good job thank you!
Power Acoustic has always made pretty good stuff at a great price
Great vid thanks. Seems like Power Acoustic is getting better. Thumbs up.👍 Happy St. Patrick's day.
finally after 3 months I got one the same as the one in your video today at Walmart but the price went up after you test it lol like 30 bucks
I am actually running this amp at 1ohm with no issues. Sounds great
Same here it bangs two 12s all day at 1 ohm
@@chrissexton8628 does it get hot?
Keep in mind that with impedance rise the amp is probably not seeing 1 ohm, but maybe closer to 2 ohm. At least on certain frequencies. This is why I like 2 ohm amps.
I have 2, had for 3 years. Those amps are the real deal, open that thing up, it's no joke. They sound good too and they're made in Korea.
IamTheEggMan I have two of these also. Has anyone broke one of these amps? Hope they hold up good cause I really like them.
Ya but what you runnin? kickers? Curious to know what it would do if I really drained it on real subs. The thing with rated doesn't mean shit if it can't put it out constant for long periods of time. Longevity rests on getting what you pay for,believe that.
Trey Nathaniel everybody starts somewhere, everybody has a preference. Doesn't matter if they like kicker or sundown, we're all bassheads in our own right. No need to b a dick
I ran 3 p3 12s on 1 of these amps hit hard and sounded great
@@daffodilmocha2064 Noob
I've had this amp for the last 7 months and love it.
Killermed 78 how’s it holding up?
I'm impressed. I like their subs better. Good vid
I work at Walmart look at this amp almost every day lol. Awesome review !!!
Always cool to see something you constantly see put through some thorough testing. Not a bad amp either, small footprint and a good price...
WALMARRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTT
wallyworld
What up
I bought this amp put it on two Phenix good rx subs and it's down right amazing my son told me the bass now hurts his chest after I got it love it
My friends letting me borrow this amp for my 2 10s temporarily and Ive got it wired at 2ohm. It performs well and they hit good. I'm really impressed that something that small works as good as it does. I was interested in what it dynos at, and this video confirms that its putting out some decent power.
You can't run 2 subs to 2 ohm.
@@rogness2960 how can’t you ? You can run 2 duel 2 ohm subs at .5 ohms or 2 ohms and you can run 2 single voice coil 4 ohm subs at 2ohms?
@@Tjcin513 ahh forgot about 2 ohm subs my bad
I wanted to 2 12" DVC 4ohm to 2ohm and found it won't work.
And hell yes Walmart. One of the only companies that is accurately rating their exclusive amps!
I guess Walmart has the key to Power Acoustik who would have thought that keep up the great videos
The fact that manufacturers still plaster these inflated numbers all over their boxes tells me that they think their consumer base is stupid. I'm sorry but 95 bucks for a 600w certified amp is a steal, you don't have to overrate it to get my attention. People would have more respect for the brand, and wouldn't necessarily care where it's made. Just my two cents, though.
Wade Hensley the thing is most people into audio like good brands. Even 600 watts Rms at $100 is good but after how long does it go into protection mode. I have a hifonics amp rated at 1900watts at 1ohm. That's worth $370 but I got a at Fry's for $160. Fry's has great deals I didn't even realize. I bought the same exact amp online and needed some ferrules went to Fry's and seen the same amp. Lol bought it and sent the other one back. I also like Fry's because for audio it's good to buy warranty. there warranty on my 1000rms MTX 12s is 3 years. So if I blow them I don't need to contact customer support just go In person.
But if you not trying to let the whole neighborhood to here it just need a little bit more it's all good .
Unless its a 3 month blowout. And off to buy something else
@@MLProductions.1 I have this amp powering a RE audio xx12 in a 4th order, way, way underpowered but that's not the point. I've had the amp for a year now and it's never once let me down. I know it's junk but it's all I could find local. It doesn't get hot, and seems to work great to me.
@@sg34qw are you pushing a single sub or 2. I have a pair of RE sxx 12" they are Dvc and 2 ohms I wonder if this would push my pair or should I build a single box
@@tooncesthecat1366 single sub. Your subs being dual 2 ohm youd have to wire them to 4 ohm load, i think at 4 ohm this amp will work, but the subs will be seeing such little wattage it wouldn't be worth it.
maxxonics should follow suit and stop giving us inflated numbers. power acoustics is gonna love you for this lol
Once upon a time they didn't. I'm not sure what happened there.
I just picked up one of these. My old amp had kicked the bucket and I figured I'd run to Wally World and see if they had anything cheap in stock (pretty much the only place local to get an amp on quick notice), just to get a little sound back in the car. This was the ONLY amp in the store, and they only had one in stock. So I snatched it up, thinking that I'd use it for troubleshooting just to see if it really was my old amp dying or something else with the system. I did a quick and dirty swap, got everything hooked up and powered on. And I was immediately blown away. I'm running an Audiopipe TXX-BD2-10 10" sub in a ported box (1200peak/600rms), and this amp works that sub. Way better than my old amp, and it sounds better too. I didn't expect much at all, I assumed it had bloated ratings like pretty much any other amp you'd find at the Wall o' Mart. Very pleasantly surprised. I thought I'd use it to troubleshoot, return it, and then get something better later. Nope, I'm keeping it. It was more expensive though, don't know if it's the normal price or slightly inflated price because of the pandemic, but I paid just under $100 for it.
Thanks for the review I got one on ebay for $45 used.
The 2 Duals, 82D and 84D at $59 and $89, did their rated power.....and then some.
Hard to beat these two amps. For and little over $200 you can get 6 channels of 85+ watts....and have the 3 year warranty added in!
I had the Dual 82D on a JL 10 and it hit. Sold that system to upgrade with the Razor.
I love ur videos man. Thanks.
Can't beat this amp for the money...I found it in a Walmart for $69 and thought it had to be a mistake so I bought it. Running one 12 inch...love it.
Yesss thanks I jus bought one for Walmart Friday 😊😊
I've had 1 of these running at a half ohm for over a yr and a half. Pushes my 2-12's very well, really need another to push each sub. People are shocked when I show what's running them.
That's a good deal for that power at $70-$80. The size is nice, and I could see that being a nice motorcycle amp to a couple 8" subs.
Lol subs on a bike is like putting pegs on a car..... just don't belong
Whatever makes YOU happy! One man's trash is another man's treasure!! Who's to really say???
Dude,nobody wants to hear Bob seger that loud.🙄
Love your vids
I have this amp. Was a temporary budget buy to power a Kicker CVT8 in a OEM enclosure for a RAM truck. Did the job and was not even sweating
I've always wondered about this amp...
It’s on rollback again right now for $75. Just ordered one.
You and me both
Its sad that the prices have increased again
96.95$ and NOT AVAILABLE
LifeBeginsWithChrist thanks a million 😊
👍
Bought 2 today

Can i know from where and for how much?
Thanks in adv
Sweet lets slap 10 of em on a pair of 18's!! Thanks buddy for showing us this gem!!!
That is cool. If you have a cheap low power sub and need a fairly powerful cheap amp to complete the setup, then you have found what you need, the Power Acoustik 2500D.
I use this amp, or a an updated model. It was 100USD at walmart in IL. Definitely worth it too. Running it with a memphis 12' sub. Sounds fantastic.
I am still using this amp! It destroyed that memphis sub. It literally shook itself apart.
I have a pioneer sub and it's been a pleasure
@@roamintheslums4851do you think 2 kicker vr can handle that ? 12s
This amp sounds really good on my skar vvx v3 8. Ive played it at full tilt for over 5 full songs and the amp runs cool and has clean power output. Sounds better and louder than my orion hcca silver edition 300.1 amp I had.
same here! i have 1 on my skar zvx 12 @ 1ohm with no issues!
@@aaron2700 how long does it play, I had mine at half ohm and it goes into thermal protection after like 8 minutes at full tilt
You are full of horses carp.. there's no way in Hell that little amps can beat Orion's HCCA (High Current Competition Amps) especially the Old school Amplifier if you hook up right.... made in CHINA (Cheap Hideous In No Amplifier)
Thanks for all your efforts . after 2 2019 break ins (I left door unlocked then 2nd time they disabled alarm smashed hatch glass) so I don't want to risk my collection of fosgate/punch dsm or my premier 720 to theft , So I planned a budget stealth system I can afford to lose but hope it draws less attention with minimal visibility when prowled but still sounds good .I just decided between 1000 watt 4ch dual , the pioneer gem or power acoustik rzr 1-2500D , all are Wal-Mart gems but I chose the 2500D mono to push my single pioneer champion 10"Dvc (instead of 2 more bulky 12s in big visible box ) and I payed $117 out the door and that included a $10extended 2 year warranty (what a deal !!!! for a powerful 2 ohm mono D class sub amp /warranty), it is way more compact than my other older amps but the razor feels looks and performs solid , it hasn't even warmed to touch after hours of boom today. I'm only running it 4 ohm since installed today and it's plenty powerful but I'll still try it at 2 ohm for fun. I would like to see a 1 ohm dyno test done on the power acoustik razor 2500d please also my pioneer premier 720 is a beast I'd also love to see it get the dyno , I'm sure it's underrated for watts and mono ohm load (they are 2 ohm stable in mono all day but rated only 4 ohm mono in listed specs) , I love it like a old fosgate . Thanks again for all your videos , Very helpful ! Respect from Tacoma Wa.
I have the 1000watt dual 4 channel amp the small one pushing 2 12 kickers and it sounds good. Will that 2500D push them good or is that to much for kickers?
@@charleshopper904 it really depends on which series because kicker has some funky powerful subs but I'd say it would do a great job on any brand 1000watt peak subs. my rz1-2500, I'm running 2 planet audio 15 inch subs in a custom 1.9 cu.ft. per chamber and 6" ports tuned @33hz Wired @2ohm and it BANGS !! enclosure is very important , air space, sealed,ported,bandpass, port tuning etc. All affect sub performance ,frequency response and power needs differently. But wire and tuned correctly it'll beat up the block .
THANK YOUUUU. I been looking for a amp that is good for a budget
Yo I have this setup in my expedition with the power acoustic sub from Walmart as well. It slams tbh I personally have no complaints. Budget over ballin
same here I run 2 of the Walmart gothic subs at 1ohm load on this amp it handles it just fine and slams hard as shit been running this setup for over a year now no problems
Will Pollard still using amp at 1 ohm?
You should also dyno the 3500d as well to see if it does rated power or not as well ik the bigger one has 2 40amp fuses so ima guess 800 rms or there about but it also says its one ohm stable and its the same size as the 2300 and 2500
I bought this amp to power 2 p3sd2-12. I couldn't wait for a good amp, so I just went to the Walmart and bought this. It does its job.
Mines keep going into protection mode
@@princessmela3672 something is probably wired wrong. Or you have a defective one maybe.
I ran this amp on a pair of L7 kickers, now seeing the rating I wondered why they got so hard.. two thumps up
I Had A 2000w Sundown amp the L7 12 blew that I had a 7500 watt Power Acoustik protect light keep coming on after 15 minutes of play just bought this today will let you know in the morning if it's okay
Hey man. Luv and appreciate u and D’s vids! Been following many years now. …I still haven’t seen a better buy (which I bought) than the RXD-T2 for budget amps. The crossover sucks arse but it put it downhill from at least just a reasonably ok 4 with output and it doesn’t matter. It rocks. Best Buy I’ve seen. Gonna put it in my sons truck soon.
I’m all tol Mosconi Amps and Morel’s best above subs which are IA Carbon 12’s :)))) Very sq system.
But on a budget…I’d put that Rockville against anything, dollar for dollar. I don’t get why it hasn’t been more popular. The crossover is definitely a Chinese pos but the amp itself puts out more power than my fancy stuff.
At my Wal-Mart it was $97 but they will price match there online store I got the gothic sub for $61 instead of the $ 97 and the then the amp was full price. Again just my experience. But awesome vid
Old video but I remember burping my Boss whatever-the-crap mono sub amp about a decade ago. About 10 years ago with a lot of preamp gain in front of it's onboard, I was amazed that I was able to burp it at around just over 900 watts RMS. Safe thermal operating parameters was about half that so it was still a monster. At the time, I had a 2nd series Power Acoustik Mofo 15 before they nosedived the model line. *Unfortunately for me a couple years later, the day came when I was using my 10.1" tablet, and with what seemed a moderate boost in output took only 30 seconds to scorch half the coil!*
It didn't kill it, just caused enough thermal damage so the cone would only throw crooked, sound retched, and I was screwed. PA had discontinued the reconing kits and after searching off and on for a couple years, it was replaced to collect dust. *Some of these "junk" amps are actually very good designs, and I know I'm oddly an electrical/electronics engineer by formal education, but obviously the specs are still typically a lie.*
The Boss, which I still have going strong, is surprisingly a good Class-A/B design. Once again unfortunately for it's 4-channel sister from the same model line, some of the transistors burned out. *I replaced them.* Then another set burned out!
When at this point, buying a new amp is a much wiser path. Replacing all the transistors would have been 80% of the cost to buy the same model new.
Good power for the price and Rated correctly I'm amazed
Power Acoustik makes some of the best budget subwoofers, but can only make one or two pretty good amps.
1 have 8 of these pushing 8-12 power acoustik gothic series subs, hits hard as hell

¾ on mine, 8 on 8 bet it sounds great

I’ve ran this amp at 1ohm and clipped the shit out of it. I stopped using it and left it out in the Wisconsin winter weather. Passed it down to a friend 3 months ago and it’s still going. It’s gotta be about 2 years of straight abuse to it and it’s still going.

I've got mine on a bd2 audiopipe 15 inch subs wired at 2 ohms and it hits so hard it makes my sub exurtion out so far it scratches and it's a certified 1800 watt sub so yes it's a gem if you ask me but it's not just about your wattage it's about your wire and how good your connections are I mean hell u can have the badest amp thats made and still not run full potential if u don't have the juice to put to the amp I've got stinger 0/1 wire in my 92 Honda Civic hatch and have smd 6 post distribution block with a step down connection tab I made and my amp stays cool to the touch never once gets hot or even warm and my gain is turned up to about 75 percent and I'm hitting à 142.6 db
Lol
Gain turned up to 75 percent? You don't know anything about car audio then. That's not a power knob to increase or decrease a amps power like that. You set your amp gain with a o scope lmao
If you don't have a o scope you do the square root of the amps watts and match it. Which you have no clue what that is apparently. I bet everything your clipping your subs to death

Jermaine Phillips 800w to 4 12's those are cheap speakers or starved speakers. I just installed 4 8's and they are getting 1200w that's their rms. My amp at 1ohm pushes 1200w stable and my ct-sounds strato 8's are 300w rms 600w max per sub.
I had an old Power Acoustik 1800 W amplifier Gothic series it was very large and it was a mean-ass amp powered almost everything I put to it no questions asked
I just got one for cheap and I'm blown away. I also running it at 1 ohm and it barely gets warm
What subs are you running st 1ohm. Did it still last?
Sundown SA8’s and yes it worked great for a year or more. And I got the setup used and I sold them and the guy loves them
Same internals as the Soundstream PN1.650 and PPI Ion I650.1 I do believe and possibly one of the Dual amp series as well. Have read that some guys are running these at 1 ohm (slightly higher due to rise). Ryan, you might want to try it at 1 ohm dynamic or uncertified.
Well if it does have the same internals as the PPI Ion i650.1, I can assure you it won't perform long - if at all - at 1 ohm.
I ran a 12 W6v2 on it for a few months sounded good at first. Put it away, less than half a year later hooked it up same way exactly and now it goes into protect at f****ng 2 ohm with hardly anything turned up........JL amps are my go to now, especially their JD series.(If you know sh** AudioControl is King right now as far as amps go, but with 5 kids, and limited bread, I'll keep dreaming) No confusing, inflated, doctor'd, or multiplied by this much, blah blah blah numbers on the power ratings. The only number they put on that f***ing box is truly no bull**it what the amp does at 2ohm straight up and down. Plus if you can't tell from fuse size what an amps power is, you shouldnt even be near this field, especially if you are installing....... JL amps run cleaner, sound better, and are more rugged and reliable. Take it from me, I have owned more amp brands than I can count. This cheap pos amp makes my W6v2 sound muffled and muddied the f*** up (I know how to set gains, most likely you do not), has a disappointing or just extremely tiny window of dynamic headroom, little room for adjustment of anything, terrible gain overlap at best, with a little induced whine or noise too. Cheaply made.......and only 8 guage power inputs? Really? So much for getting this thing adequate juice...... Jacka**es. So Now, people with brains are all relegated to buy f****** amp imput reducers, wait do they come with this amp? 😂 that was a joke...unless you're a complete moron and jam wiring wherever and DGAF with half your wire strand count fraying about and arching all over the place ready to start a fire in your vehicle.....Overall: very disappointed........Im getting the JD/1000. .....This way I dont have to be upset that my dumb a** waisted my hard earned bread on sub par s**t hole amps anymore.......Learned my lesson on this one. My 250/1 with my 12"W1v2 sounded better n hit way harder and tighter than this pos hooked up to my beastly 12"W6v2........what's that tell you......I been in the car audio game since 96. I aint just some jack ass postin this S*** up on here for my health, and I dont hate just to hate, that's a female trait. Take my advice or leave it
Great video as usual man. But quick search on Walmart website yielded $96 for this amplifier 80 bucks it's a great value but it almost a hundred bucks it's pushing it
Yo man this amp is wicked..Definitely a diamond in the dirt..now I see what everyone is talking about. It snuck up on me! Lol had to totally reconfigure my system for it at 1ohm load. "CONSTANT" reminded of the old days when I had the infamous Beast "Punch 150".. I have Pioneer a AVH-12OBT head with 2 10' Boss Elite 1500 watt bangers. Gain set to 2:00 Sub Sonic at little past halfway, Bass Boost off, LPF on 80. WOW! Made my old SSL look like 💩. The boom is not compartmentalized anymore but full through out the car. Funny because I second guessed this amp last week when I was at Wally World. So I passed! Read reviews on it and was impressed. So two days later went back and the last one was gone. So I checked to see which Wally had it. And 10 miles away I went..and it was the last one!😳 lol talking about the little engine that could..👍
It’s actually a good amp
I really wish you did a 1 ohm test,, i have 1 of these powering my skar zvx 12 @1ohm for the past year with no issues! and it flexes the hell outta my car, even bent my trunk lid lol... i bought the amp with the intentions of getting something better after upgrading my power, but it has been soo good i have been putting the upgrade on the back burner.
Me to but I got 2 hifonics squaure Brutus 12s but I think my box or subs not getting proper power
Hard to believe when this amp wont even do close to 1k @1ohm probably more like 800@ 1ohm you must drive a tin can lol
Lol that’s what im saying that 800 I’m getting could be a lot better
Bullshit. Mine is in protect at 2 ohm with a 12"W6v2 with gain at 8:00 and no bass boost at all.......
2 kicker 12s on 2500 d actually performed very well at 2 ohm. Genuinely surprised
More quicky series please.
Would make for a great budget build if it were strap-able! Also, you should test this at 1.33ohm...
Josh Haimes is that what you ran it at?
Awesome still watching but mine pushes hard wondering how this ends glad you did this. Thanks. 711 not bad.
Mines still pushing hard as ever! Will go below 2 ohms as well.
Great channel
I just bought one of these from Walmart a few days ago. Been out of the bass game for a while and just wanted something low key. I like the build quality. Can’t wait toinstall
WOW so one can use 4 ' 8 ohm 12's all in parallel in a good box and hit hard !! this will drive solid 600 watts to each sub !! awesome !!!
Sid it’ll take 1 ohm all day.
@@FinsleysCustomCarAudio really?
@@FinsleysCustomCarAudio i been running mine at 1ohm for nearly a year with gains all the way up! probably clipping like a MF!!
Try the power acoustic egde 7000.1d I have this amp and it bang's like hell
At 1ohm this amp is awesome true budget gem 💎
RG I’m gonna try this amp at 1 ohm. Hope she don’t pop...lol.
How long you run it at 1 ohm? Still using? Thanks...
Black crown that's some serious bass on that link thx liked it alot👊
In nearly every other industry if a company misrepresents their product they get sued. Car audio manufacturers have gotten away with false advertising for decades.
Do the 3500D!!
I put one of those in my girls car, a little civic hatch back with a Alpine type R ten in a ported box. Nothing crazy at all! Had a four channel on the 6.5 components in the doors and another set of 5.25 in the A pillars. Being it is a hatch back that alone is a big advantage sound wise but that system sounds amazing for what it is. People are always shocked when i show them the source of all the noise with that tinny amp and a single ten!
I used to have an amplifier like this and I just got another one they work pretty good and they're worth the money
So when did I miss that it says 2500 watts max 😂
How about a cerwin Vega amp or those flea market amps like digital phonics or nitro amps?
Man!!! I got me one of those amp from the pawn shop for twenty bucks and that amp is doing this most right now 😎
GT Gundelaro what ohm you running? Wondering if it will take a 1 ohm load.
@@FinsleysCustomCarAudio hey I am not of those guys who do all those fancy hooking up of the sounds to all these different configurations I just a regular hookup and i got one 12" alphasonic speaker
GT Gundelaro it’s a little beast of a amp considering its size. I got one pushing a American-bass 12 in ported box and it rattles my whole car.
Damn! There really IS a first time for everything!
c'mon man you cant tease us in the last vid by saying you have a xtr4k. please show that
I know right Ace lol
if u still have this could you test it at 1 0hm? i know myself and alot of others run it at 1 ohm and id be curious to see what it outputs. ty
Same shit I'm after! Will it run at 1 ohm????
That amp will burn up at a constant 1 ohm load
@@phillipblack761 I ran it at 1 ohm for like 8 months before removing due to selling the car, I had 2 walmart Gothic wired to 1 ohm and it slammed still have the amp and subs all still works now will it survive a resistor load at 1 ohm that's what I'd like to know and what power it puts out
Thank you for the information
My Power Acoustik drives two 10" competition subs and a 12" sub at 2 ohms like an amp three times the price does and stays cool. I'm surprised its that good for being bought at Walmart.
