- How and why we use Sound Digital amplifiers in our audio builds .
We choose sound digital for their size to power ratio
The size allows us to put amplifiers in places that other amplifiers just won’t fit .
We are not big fans of the 1200.4 or the 2400.4
But we love
The Evox and Evox2
400.4
800.4
1200.2
3000.1
Evo PS
800.4
1200.4
2000.4 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
These shops mashing on NVS Audio shows that you guys are doing something right. I respect Carlos so much simply because he never smack talk. He reaches out to others to see if he can help. He’s such a rare guy, I’ve never seen this man trash talk. And I’m all the way in FLORIDA getting constant info about what we the consumer should do to improve our devices. (Even though I’ve lost both raffles lol) we gotta stop the bashing and learn from each other and grow. Stand up guy Carlos, blessing..
He claims to reach out to them carlos does good work but i have seen his mistakes in a few videos as well. So one is perfect
I agree. I have a lot of respect for his work and his seeming overall way of running his business. He seems very unbiased when reviewing products too. I think that's my favorite part. I can sit here and watch his detailed breakdown of products and I always finish the video with MUCH MUCH MUCH more knowledge.
Carlos my friend, I am a new and up and coming shop and mannnn I love your university. I’ve learned so much and know that I love the education you give out!!! I hope to repay you one day!!
Exactly why your doing my system!! Awesome customer service and warranty!!! See you Saturday Carlos.
How is your amplifier holding up? What did you get installed?
Been torn about amps & speakers.seen a few of your videos and bought 2 800.4 and 2 sets of prv6.5 carbon fiber speakers..Can’t wait to install em
Awesome advice and products!
I installed my 800.4 according to your recommendations. 4awg ground to frame, crimped and soldered, wire ferrels ets Thank You for all your great videos. Keep up the great work.
Me too planning to buy either soundigital 800.4 or banda 800.4 to power 4 midrange speaker of 180 watt rms each. Which one of the 2 u recommend?? I need something which is durable, gives enough power and produce clean music.
Great video I respect nvs audio knowledge and respect goes a long way
Theres a reason your shop stays so covered up ! Keep up the great work
Another great and informative video💪🏾
I have an EVOX 800.4 ON MY ROAD GLUDE. Rrunning 4 diamond audio speakers at 4 ohms each. Amp installed with FOSGATE complete amp install kit. Gain set with SMD DD1. No issues after 1 year.
I just had a sound digital 2000 water proof installed on my bike. Within a couple weeks the amp was cutting out. Now I have 2 cicada amps and I’m very pleased.
NVS audio is my shop and Carlos is my guy. I just came from him yesterday 🤣😅. My car is only touched by him and I will drive hours to get to the shop. He's very professional and knowledgeable about his audio field. Thanks again Carlos for all you and your guys do. I appreciate y'all!!!!! If you were like me and was scammed by audio shops. PLEASE GO SEE CARLOS AND NVS AUDIO. You will never go to any other shop!!!! See you soon Carlos after I get my new truck lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂. You know how I like my music
Great info!
I've learned a lot from these videos. This dude highly knowledgeable, detailed, and operates with integrity. I wish they made more videos about bikes without fairings. All of my bikes are road kings. I'm trying to find a nice set-up for my bike. I only want 1 amp, 1 8" and "6 x 9" in each bag. Any ideas?
Great video
Love the video my friend. 1000000%
Good stuff
I almost exclusively only install 2 amplifiers as of right now. The NVX VADM2 or Sound digital 800.4. My reasoning behind that is how bulletproof both of them have been. I agree 100% with everything you have said. I would like to add..... if these shops continue to install these high powered audio systems on stock batteries their failure rate will continue to climb. I believe you recommend a battery upgrade at 1000 Watts. I do the upgrade at 700 watts just to stay safe. Another great video keep up the good work.
Great point. You really need to upgrade battery. Small price to pay to upgrade to lithium when you are spending $3k plus for sound system
How many options are there when upgrading the battery? Could you add a capacitor or are you talkin about adding a 2nd battery
@@midwestprince153 The short answer to the capacitor question is no do not use a capacitor .At this day and time it is not worth the money and especially the space. There are lots of battery upgrades for Harley Davidson touring models. CCA as well as amp hours or two Very important numbers to look at. Basically the more the better. I would not even start thinking about adding an extra battery until 2400 watts rms. AMG battery up to 2000wrms Anything more than that Lifidium battery only. There are a lot of reasons for my answer but I'm trying to keep it as short as possible. Sorry for the delay in my reply.
@@romesyoutubechannel5356 thanks
@@midwestprince153 I upgraded to the Braille Lithium Battery and I’m very pleases
Sound digital amps are the best amp you can put in a daily rider with a system upgrade. And the fit is in my opinion are great!
Happy you enjoy our amps.
@@diogoiannaccone love them. We are a vendor for sound digital. Nothing but the best for the Harley Davidsons! Let me know if you happen to have any banners available for our booths we run at get together, audio competitions etc. Our distributor is HKI.

I have 3 of the amps, 2 evo 800/4s running 8 6.5 s (hertz and ground zeros). 1 800.1 to 10inch sub. No issues.
Sound Digital is fantastic
I’m getting ready to upgrade my audio again on my Harley street glide and I’ve decided that I’m for sure going with the sound digital evox2 800.4 amplifier… now I just need to figure out what 6.5” and 6x9 speakers will be the best for what I’m looking for in my audio!! 🤯🤯
what fuse size should I use?
I have a knuconceptz 4 gauge ofc amp kit and a sound digital evox 1200.4 and fronts will be bridged
btw we really appreciate all the knowledge you put out on your channel.
After stumbling across your video, I'm wondering if the failure rate is attributed to cooling issues with these amps. In a breakdown video I saw that the housing itself, like with many amps, acts as a heatsink and has thermal compound between the ICs and the housing. Have you broken down a failed amp to see what the condition of the thermal compound is? In nearly all failed electronics I've dealt with the failures have been either a capacitor issue, or poor heat dissipation.
I intend to build a 6-speaker system for my truck using a 6.5" 3-way in each of the four doors and a pair of 6x9 4-way in the cargo area. Being an expedition rig I don't have much space for physically large amplifiers and have to fit both under my driver's seat, so I've been planning an EVOX 800.4 for my door speakers and an EVOX 400.4 for the pair of 6x9s in the rear and no subwoofers. As part of the install I intend to open up the amplifiers and replace the thermal compound with higher end compound that I use my computers, along with mounting the amps on rubber bushings to absorb road and trail vibrations from my truck (lots of washboard roads). What is your opinion on using the EVOX amps in an application like this?
I'm coming from Michigan with my bike and looking to get an helluva setup..
Ready to upgrade my Precision Power i1000 4ch to a SD EvoX 800.4. My setup will be 6.5 DB Drive CDs in the fairing, Ground Zero 8s in the lids and DS18 TW820 Tweeters in the lid. Will one
amp do the job?
I run 4 , 6 and a half to Tweeter bullets and six by nines in the saddlebag what size amp do you recommend.
Number one word 🔥 I’m Good😮
My 1200.4 Evox failed on a GZ 6.5s and Diamond 6x9s in the lids. I believe it was the install and manufacturer
Thanks for the video, I bought the 800.4 sound digital amp (grey case) I tried installing into my street glide with the aquatic av radio. I cannot get this amp to work. I've tried EVERYTHING! I'm only running 2 ds 18 pro speakers, ( possibly more in the future) anyway I had a guy message me and said I have to have splitter rca cables to hook up using both channels , going into one set of rca's to the aquatic radio( which only has one set of audio outs. Does this makes sense? I'm only using 1 channel. What's you professional opinion? Thanks
I have this amp,it sounds amazing but while I was unplugging the jack the jack sparked and my amp smoked. I’ve never experienced anything like this in all my years installing music. I had to buy a new one the 1200.4 evox and these baby aren’t cheap.
Got a great deal on db drive moto 6.5 (350 watt) and db drive 6x9 for bags. Would a 800.4 be sufficient. I believe the 6.5 are rated at 100-125rms and the 6x9 are about the same. Any help would be appreciated.
Our Failure Rate is even with yours, 5% ish Cant be beat for Power & Size, However Diamond Audio has new Amplifier product on the water we are forever waiting for !!
Thank you for sharing Your experience
I truly value your opinion.

Am awaiting the new diamond audio amp as well.
Appreciate the support
which amp is that?
@@NVSAUDIO 2022 For Even Better Sounding Systems, waiting to see the New SD Amps, appears at Knowledgefest on Feb 17th in Las Vegas they will be shown, but I am sure you already know all about them... ..
@@Grof2000 We use Mostly 800.4 EVOX & 1200.4 EVOX
I see the focus on motorcycle installs but can these be used in a Jeep that offroads a lot that has limited space ?
I have a 400.4 bridged that cuts out at 3/4 volume with clean signals. Is this a common failure?
Carlos, great video and SD review. My question is can I fit two power sports 1200’s in the street glide fairing with a lex rack?
Yes you can
It will be tight but they will fit
Am hearing bad reviews about the Brazilian model Soundigital amps. What would you say about the 2000.4 Evo5??
I have a street glide with all sound digital amps with diamond audio speakers sounds awesome!! But I wonder how the Recoil amps would compare to sound digital.
Hey Carlos how do install these in Slingshots without them getting wet from a possible rain storm ? By the way, great videos !
Do you sell and ship to canada ?? You seem very knowledgeable, love your videos...looking for fairing speakers only and amplifier for 2008 streetglide
Sir is the old Evo 1600.1 better then the EVO 2 1600.1 both 2ohm. Please let me know
If I have 2 ohm speakers do I need a 2 ohm sound digital amp I’m running 2 5.25 hogtunes xl and 2 6x9 hogtunes xl
So I have a 6 speaker set up
SD 800.4 running 4 Hertz sx165s
And a
SD 400.4 running 2 Hertz SV200s
There’s also 2 Hertz 25mm horns as well
Would you say I’m underpowered? I don’t know much about audio and didn’t do the work myself.
Where can I get that bass knob from I’m running a sound digital evo4 8000.1 2ohm? 1 channel
I've never heard of this brand... And I trust you ... I want a 2 channel to run two 10w6v3 dual 4 ohms .. I need at least 1200.2 but willing to go 2200.2 not even sure there is anything that big... I've only bought dual 4 ohms in the past .. so I have lots of pairs of dual 4 ohms .. even 12 Alpine type Rs 2200 max watts... I have an old 1999 Rockford fosgate that works amazing ...it's twice the size I want in my little 2008 Subaru legacy....I like the kicker kx1200.2 ... The two channels do not work with the wireless bass knob...it requires a Aux bass knob ... I almost bought that amp a few days ago ... Thinking I can buy the bass knob separate ... But nope it won't even link to it ... Not wireless... And not even wired ... I'm not tripping on price...I just want something that works like a JL, Fosgste, kicker, .. Something that stays cool... When running RMS ... What 2 channel of these amps that you're showing would you recommend for my dual 4 ohm subs to run at 2 ohms
What is your thoughts/experience with sinister audio paired with the Arc 720?
Arc audio 720 is one of my favorite amps
But it’s HUGE !!
What is difference between an 800.4 evo 4.0 and an 800.4 evo x?
Can 2 evox2 800.4 fit in a 2021 Indian chieftain fairing.
I can’t speak on the technical side of things, that’s Mr. Carlos expertise, but as a business man I know that if it’s causing me to lose money I wouldn’t supply the product. As a client of NVS audio I’ve had only 2 failures, one being a faulty speaker (which was replaced no questions asked free of charge) and the other being a Sd 1200.4 that I was FORWARNED about from Mr.Carlos himself that it wasn’t one of his favorites and that they tend to have the most problems out of the product line. But guess what, NVS audio STILL stands by their product and will be replacing the amp no hassle no questions asked…And I’m sure he is NOT in the business to be loosing money. So the evidence suggests that SD is a solid product. But more importantly NVS audio delivers a SOLID product and he stands behind it. I REFUSE to spend my money elsewhere. And I’m 5 hours from him lol
Thank you 🙏🏼 sir
Carlos can you amp dyno the euphoria ex4 and see if it truly does 400x4 at 2ohms like it claims ? I’ve been curious about this and waiting to see an amp dyno but nothing so far
I’ll
Do that for you
This week 👍🏽
It was already on my todo list
I will just move it up on the list .
I’m pretty sure it’s going to do above rated power
Euphoria is a great company
Good afternoon Carlos, I have a 21 road glide special that is currently completely stock but I will be adding lowers, a tour pack, stretched bags down and back.Which SD amp, 6.5 fairing, 6.5 lower, 8s or 10s in the bags, 8s or 10s tour pack.I have watched all of your video multiple times on the 6.5 GZ,Beyma,Euphoria,GZ red baskets, plus your review of the different 8s and 10s that you use.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Good day my friend. If you are looking to add rims, air ride, center stand, rake kit, I’ll love to do it for you!!!
So the 2400.4 is good to go if you install on risers to allow airflow correct?
Basically
I was planning on running 8" red baskets in saddle bag lids, 8" prv mid bass(4ohm) in bags off SD 2400.4(4ohm) so I'd be better off with 800.4(4ohm)?
Upfront 6.5 red baskets gonna run 400.4 ground zero tweeters in gauge hole & saddle bag lids
06 electra glide
Any truth to refurbish sd amps being better
I would do a
1600.1 2 ohm on the Prv 8s
800.4 bridged on the red basket 8
800.4
Bridged on the 6.5
Horns on a 400.4
Any updates/info on the SD 1600.8 Amplifiers? (Dimensions, release date)
Not yet but soon!
What's the difference between evo 800.4 and evox 800.4?
I have 2- 1200.4 in my fairing and they are cooking my Sony 700 they get hot shut off and I have Spencers under them! Wonder if SD would swap out for 2-800.4 even swap? I was about to go with a different company until I watched this video! I have 4- SPL 6.5 and 4-SPL 6x9 and 1-8 inch 200L in each bag all Hertz Neo would 2-800.4 be enough power?

1 amp
I just watched a video from another shop/ youtube creator.
He stated that the soundigital amps do not produce clean rms power and that is why the amp dyno can only read its peak numbers and not the rms numbers as the rms efficiency numbers are bad. Is this true?
volunteer audio?
I recently purchased the 400.4 EVOX and am wanting to run the amp Bridged to my 2 front door coaxial speakers. After reading the owners manual It states I need to connect all 4 channels for the amp to work. But if I connect the amp like this won't the amp run one bridged channel as a front channel and the second bridged channel as a rear? I'm now thinking I should have purchased the 400.2 amplifier. I went with the 400.4 in hopes in thd future upgrading my coaxial door speakers to components. Any help with this situation will be greatly appreciated.
Yes...you need all 4 RCA'S hooked up to bridge both channels. What 2 speakers are you running that you want each to have 200+ watts?
@@TheDolkNess I will probably just run the 2 front channels for now as I'm just running the jbl GTO629's. In the future I will probably switch to a passive component set so then I will run the amp bridged.
@@T_B_C_L just run them in parallel...66wrms is plenty enough for those GTO
@@TheDolkNess will do 👍
My main problem with Soundigital is the low end signal noise, do any of you know how to improve or eliminate it?
I had same problem. I have one 800.4. First thing I did is added 4awg ground to frame. Then removed all grounds from my T harness (radio and dsp) and connected to same ground as amp. When I replaced my stock radio with Sony itt came back. I fixed that by adding two rubber washers to each of the 4 radio bolts . Isolating radio from radio bracket. (Grounding radio didnt fix it)
Now I only have the VERY LOW normal SD hiss they are known for. It cant be heard at low volume only at 0 volume.

What’s up Carlos…..I have 3 EVOXs in the front fairing of my 2021 Road Glide Special…I have a EVOX 400.4 (4ohm)on my horns(EX6NCD-CF), a EVOX 1200.4(4ohm) on my midrange(EX6NCD-CF/EX69NCD)bridged, a EVOXII 1600.1(2ohm) on my 10”s (EX10NMB) and a HKI mini DSP…I’m running 0g ofc power and ground wire from the battery to a power/ground block …Off the blocks I’m running 8g to the 400 and 4g to the 1200 and 4g to the 1600….My first question for you is do I have enough power to run them new euphoria speakers/midbass….Second question is do I have to upgrade my battery and if so what’s the best battery to use…My third question is do I still have to get my factory radio flashed when using your T-harness …Fourth question is will the 10’’s in my bags effect the 6x9 in my lids….Thanks in advance Carlos
Yooooo do you have any pics of you install in the fairing. I’m want to put. 400.4,800.4 and 1200.4 in mines. I have an RGS WITH LEX AMP RACK
Yes you need a lithium battery

The Braille g30h
Yes you will need to flash your radio
Hki mini does not like the high voltage from non flashed Harley radios .

Hi Carlos how can I purchase a sounddigital amp from you
So with 2 10" yellow baskets what amp would you run
Evox 2 3000.1
@@NVSAUDIO And they can handle that!!
@@lovellemartin5919 if you tune it properly
Yes
You won’t be using the full 3000 watts
@@NVSAUDIO How much power can they take!! What's the most you have gave yellow baskets?
400.4 Bridged is Also 190-220 RMS x Two and $220 each so it's about $440 to get same output as 1200.4 4Ohm and Also saves you about $300-350...
Bridging sees half the load, twice the output. 8 ohms bridged is 4 ohms at the amp. If the amp is a 4 ohm amp, full power in 8 ohm bridged mode.
I went through 3 of them, 2 went out and on the 3rd the fan started acting up. When I got the last 1200.4, I looked at the amp and saw the fan, then was like.... why is there no hole of perforations to allow the amp to breathe on my Amp rack. So I cut a hole to allow it to flow through. Anyone that knows anything about Car Audio understands that amps that can not breathe are going to overheat and amps that do not get the proper power is going to fail. Why every competition car audio car will have a Big 3 upgrade and an upgraded Alternator. Lithium can only give you so much when you are not running the property wire size.
You are 100 percent correct sir
