Don't think for a second that this thing didn't do it's power ratings...my battery bank could not sustain 14.4v for the entire test. It still did GREAT numbers even at 13.3v. Watch for an upcoming video as i stretch my Sundown zv.5 24" Subs to their limit on this amp. My shop crumbles from the bass this combo makes haha! Follow my instagram channel instagram.com/meade916 i will probably do this live before i film for YT. It's stupid loud!
Man that's an insane amount of power. That's got to be by far the baddest amp I've ever seen. I've never seen any amp put out near the power this thing does. Thanks for the video man. Awesome
Gonna run this amp on my 4 zv5 15s. All thanks to smd and his video. I almost went with the crescendo bassclef 17k but once I seen the videos of multiple demos showing it not doing its rated power, I shot towards this bad boy.
20kw for $2500? That's a killer deal. Steve, are you going to install that in one of your rides? Can't even imagine 2 of those. And they are cheaper than Fosgate's 4k amps.
Mind blown bro!!!! WHAT....21,686....let me rephrase that....twenty one thousand, six hundred and eighty six watts!!!! wtf....Holy hell........I can't stop cursing. That thing is a monster!!!!!
Ok Steve....amp is a Monster!!! The new question is, what project in the near future will include The Raven? You can't let that one sit in the bone yard. But great vids Steve!!
Steve if you ever want to keep up the power and test for longer times you can take a 320 amp alt and have it hooked to a 7hp 240 volt electric motor 1 to 1 ratio on the pullys make sure you get a motor thats 3600 rpm ... it would be cheaper to make something like this then to buy a high amp power supply that has a variable voltage from 12v to 18v ....to build something like that your looking less then $1000 for the whole kit and kaboodle and you can always take out the alternator if you ever needed it .... instant 300 plus amps on call
except for the fact that a 320a alt isn't enough and it would for SURE bog down almost as if it wasn't even there....thanks anyway for the advice though.
waiting on audio equipment as well as some new interior parts i bought for him to show up. Plus the shop is busy as shit right now...it's gonna take some time. But ill get it done soon trust me i need it gone haha! :D
Damn! 10 XS 14v batteries folding up under that B2, so to "Ground Pound" you would need 10+ batteries, maybe some of the XS Power caps and all the alternators (and goggles, can't imagine keeping a windshield in bumping something like that...)
If we do the simple-ratio math using the last real world test as a base: (Dynamic) 21686W @ 13.87V and 0.8 Ohm 22515W @ 14.40V and 0.8 Ohm 25016W @ 16.00V and 0.8 Ohm
Jayden 97 do you work at a welding repair shop? I dont think so. I work with millar, lincoln, esab, canox and many more. Welders can output ac or dc from 12v to 80v and at 400amps or more depending on input. Did you know movie theaters use millar welders to power their lamps?
Heres a cheap one, it outputs 32v at 400amps and its inverter so you can modify it to output a lower voltage and build a big bridge rectifier with bigger diodes and few caps to smooth out the current. You can put some batteries in the loop too to use the welder as a charger. aliexpress.com/store/product/TIG-400A-welder-tig-inverter-welding-machine/917178_32622981293.html
do you know anything about power conversions? are you this stupid? wow. the input is 220-575v and it converts to lower dc power at high amps. You only need 30a or so input with 220v for a welder that can output 30v at 400amps but if you modify the welder to lower voltage like 16v you can get way more power. Talkin like you know everything.
theres also 2 phase and 3 phase power input so you can get dual 220v or higher from the wall. You oven is 2 phase 220v at 15amps so you can run a nice decent power supply at home.
Do this amp run down to 0.35 OHM withaout takeing damage? Going to get this amp pluss a Pride UFO 5.18 sub and wire it down to 0.35 OHM any advice would be nice
Very cool amp. Amazing power!!! But i'd rather go with a Sound Digital 12K as I could never afford all the batts and upgrades this thing would need to run. None the less amazing amp. Keep doing what your doing Steve. You are def one of the best in the business!
you do know you need the SAME "upgrades" for a SD 12k right? If you can't afford "all the batts and upgrades" you shouldn't even be thinking about a 12,000 watt amp of any kind. Just sayin'. Thanks though man! :D :D
But Steve, Crutchfield says I only need 100 watts to drive a subwoofer! LOL For real though, that amp is properly bonkers. You know you've got too much power when the headlights on the car beside you dim when your bass hits. ;D
Hola amigo sigo tu canal desde hace varios años la verdad me gustan demasiado tus videos, deberías de subir mas de tu chevy tahoe. Saludos desde Monterrey Nuevo León México. 👍
Could you hook up one (or more) of those fancy mechman's from a running car to help your test bench not crumble under that load? I'm sure that beast would do even more like that.
what he can do if he wanted peak performance is have a mechman alt hooked to a 7hp 240 volt electric motor with 1 to 1 ratio pulley, very easy to make and cheaper than buying a high end ac to dc power bank which would cost a few thousand to buy
that won't work. I would need several alternators for that to even remotely help and even then it would bog down. A solid power supply that costs damn near as much as a new Tahoe is the only answer (for my bench).
Thank you for all the amp tests, any chance you can test the vm audio encore 5400.1 d amp? I have asked all the amp dyno guys and they said to ask you. Thanks in advance if you can. Keep up the good work bro👍
Hey man was going through offer up and noticed a dentist company or something like that have an ad and they have your exact logo for their company the SMD font style everything
Did you get a new iphone or a better camera to do videos with? Noticed it a little while back, much better man seeing your work in high quality is awesome! Not to mention its 2018 like wtf you waitin for bruh? lmao

meade916 you left that intro high five up for a minute...come on bro don't leave me hanging...keep up the quality uploads mayne
Straight pavement pounder right there !
For next weeks amp test Tuesday you should amp dyno the crown amps that powers your towers
Great video by the way
meade916 do i forsee the sound system for the Cadillac being that monster and them beautiful sundown 24's
Man that's an insane amount of power. That's got to be by far the baddest amp I've ever seen. I've never seen any amp put out near the power this thing does. Thanks for the video man. Awesome
if you missed the actual unboxing..here is the link :) ruclips.net/video/1yZOx0wtNRM/видео.html
meade916. name of the theme song
Saw the teaser pics on FB and man I couldn't wait for this video to be released. That amp is definitely sweet like Danish!
You should retest now with the big power supply.
WOW! I was happy with Radio Shack 60 watts, back in the early 80s...
I have a Realistic 80+80 and a set of 'optimus' 15" woofers and they still work! Even the foam surround on them is still good! :D
Cool, I have an 80+80. Found it at a garage sale for $3, it works..
Gonna run this amp on my 4 zv5 15s. All thanks to smd and his video. I almost went with the crescendo bassclef 17k but once I seen the videos of multiple demos showing it not doing its rated power, I shot towards this bad boy.
Yea man no doubt this thing is a beauty and a beast! Can’t wait to see it hooked up to the 24s
i was thinking about getting this amp to push my 2 dual 10" subs.
I don’t think that’s enough power for some duals
DAMN that's a beast! Would be nice to see it at 16 volts just to see the numbers
20kw for $2500? That's a killer deal. Steve, are you going to install that in one of your rides? Can't even imagine 2 of those. And they are cheaper than Fosgate's 4k amps.
Mind blown bro!!!! WHAT....21,686....let me rephrase that....twenty one thousand, six hundred and eighty six watts!!!! wtf....Holy hell........I can't stop cursing. That thing is a monster!!!!!
B2 audio aint no joke. Great to see The Raven on SMD amp test tuesday.
Ok Steve....amp is a Monster!!! The new question is, what project in the near future will include The Raven? You can't let that one sit in the bone yard. But great vids Steve!!
I definitely wanna see some of these high power amps tested again with the new power set up
Those was some really good numbers from that voltage. Bad ass amp fosho!!!
been waiting a whole week for this!
Steve if you ever want to keep up the power and test for longer times you can take a 320 amp alt and have it hooked to a 7hp 240 volt electric motor 1 to 1 ratio on the pullys make sure you get a motor thats 3600 rpm ... it would be cheaper to make something like this then to buy a high amp power supply that has a variable voltage from 12v to 18v ....to build something like that your looking less then $1000 for the whole kit and kaboodle and you can always take out the alternator if you ever needed it .... instant 300 plus amps on call
except for the fact that a 320a alt isn't enough and it would for SURE bog down almost as if it wasn't even there....thanks anyway for the advice though.
You'll be looking at a quad setup minimum
This power on a ungodly level!!! Thanx for testing this behemoth
I'm proud it's designed in Denmark. We have a lot of expertise in audio equipment. Nice test Steve!
That amp is beyond a beast that's a tank of an amp bro
The efficiency seems to be great, for that bank to do that well on such a large amp draw is still impressive, the dynamic is insane
I remember when people where slamming a rockford 150hd on a 15.
Do the Rockford T15KW next
Installing this bad boy in my Tahoe this
weekend. Can’t wait.
Good lord! Would be nice if you mentioned price range for these amps.
Farghini Tehrani google
What.A.Beast!
Nice to see the Patreon list growing too!
That is one he'll of an awesome amp Steve!!!! Great video!!!
Very impressed, please test the Orion 17 k spl amp , if you can get your hands on one
Wheres the 3rd video of the chevy pickup i really enjoy your work keep it up
waiting on audio equipment as well as some new interior parts i bought for him to show up. Plus the shop is busy as shit right now...it's gonna take some time. But ill get it done soon trust me i need it gone haha! :D
Hell yea waiting on that video ,i just put a nsv3 nightshade 12in in my civic with a 3000 watt soundstream it's hitting nice
Damn, no bullshittin on this one. That thing is serious.
Would love to see a vid of the amp beating up those Pride speaker
Is that the dyno making those noises? (never heard that before)
Is there any way you could get a T15k on there? Any still kicking around?
Nice test as always Steve I love my B2 zero.7r B2 Audio FTW
Is there a limit on what the AD-1 can measure?
Damn! 10 XS 14v batteries folding up under that B2, so to "Ground Pound" you would need 10+ batteries, maybe some of the XS Power caps and all the alternators (and goggles, can't imagine keeping a windshield in bumping something like that...)
Next week, Alphard Audio "Doomsday" ADD-37800.1D 37,800 watts.
Imagine the electrical upgrades to run this amp ...wow dang ..modes for days ...
B2 is beast! Sweet like Danish
Crazy power AND amp draw. It should put a hurtin on those 24s!
If we do the simple-ratio math using the last real world test as a base:
(Dynamic)
21686W @ 13.87V and 0.8 Ohm 22515W @ 14.40V and 0.8 Ohm 25016W @ 16.00V and 0.8 Ohm
Wow! That amp is sweet like Danish and a beast :). Nice ATT Video peace and bass bro.
Holy Crap man, that thing can blow up a country.....
jody024, that amp could easily kill.
you need to get a welder to use as a power supply. You can get welders adjusted to any volt and put out like 200-400amps
Jayden 97 do you work at a welding repair shop? I dont think so. I work with millar, lincoln, esab, canox and many more. Welders can output ac or dc from 12v to 80v and at 400amps or more depending on input. Did you know movie theaters use millar welders to power their lamps?

Heres a miller 70v at 300amps

Wuuaooooooo, amaaaaaaazing, is extremely powerful, saludos desde Mexicooo
I don't see the SD20000.1D bench test
Very solid the wiring Meade!😱💪
I have that amp in my 85 regal and it's only on a 4 ohm load unbridged. That's all I need from it.
I wonder what all I would need in a 07 Chevy Tahoe to keep this amp powered at 16v? I just got the amp today.
Daniel Herrera hella alternator(s) and hella lithium
Wonder how that amp would compare to the crescendo bassclef-17k.
I wonder how this would be with the "new" power supply and hooked up in the Tercel?? Hmmmmmmmm, the possibilities!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walter Hicks III I was wondering the same thing
Can't wait for the sub flex test!
That's crazy! Probably the highest wattage the amp dyno has taken right?
Should back the Tahoe up to the test bench and use the power system from that see what it can do at full power
you're the man Meade!
TOP top TOP! Você tem um fã no Brasil! I love bass
What is the power input limit of the AD-1?
That's one helluva amp.
That thing draws more power than I use with all my sxxt on in the house😄
And another great vid. Thanks for posting link to the beats.
Absolutely insane bro!
Do this amp run down to 0.35 OHM withaout takeing damage? Going to get this amp pluss a Pride UFO 5.18 sub and wire it down to 0.35 OHM any advice would be nice
What ever happened to those Rockford 15k's what kind of rms did those put out?
We need a redo with the new test bench
Do you think you could do a comparison video between the soundqubed, skar, and the Apocalypse 4000/4500?
At 2:49 I saw shadows and I was looking around my room for who was behind me but it was the shadow on the amp in the video 😭😭😭😅😅😅
Now I really can’t wait for you to get White Raven for the Lade 🤯🤯🙌🏽🙌🏽🙉
Holy crap 18k wow I'm speechless
You have any plans for this amp Steve?
Michael Graper world domination
what happened with working on black truck
Damn, that thing is twice as powerful as the old JBL Crown 6000GTI amp. Those only did 6600 watts rms per channel when pushed.
more like 6600w total...not per channel.
Derrick (BigDWiz) posted a vid testing it. It did almost 6300 watts per channel RMS @ 13.7 volts, albeit doing a burst test.
for the money this amp is amazing!!!
Very cool amp. Amazing power!!! But i'd rather go with a Sound Digital 12K as I could never afford all the batts and upgrades this thing would need to run. None the less amazing amp. Keep doing what your doing Steve. You are def one of the best in the business!
you do know you need the SAME "upgrades" for a SD 12k right? If you can't afford "all the batts and upgrades" you shouldn't even be thinking about a 12,000 watt amp of any kind. Just sayin'. Thanks though man! :D :D
meade916 yeah the SD 5k is about all I would do. Hopefully by summer my 4 12s will be on 5k and not the 2k its on now.
The real beast!!!
That beat at the end of the video is tight..
Damn that is some crazy power from that thing
why dont you try the SoundDigital 35kw? :P
When brandizzle left you hanging is when I already liked this video hahaha
Not bad at all solid amp, was thinking about getting this amp or the Banda 15k might stay with the Banda budget wise
Fecking heck. She took all that juice, and wanted still wanted more.
But Steve, Crutchfield says I only need 100 watts to drive a subwoofer! LOL
For real though, that amp is properly bonkers. You know you've got too much power when the headlights on the car beside you dim when your bass hits. ;D

Buys one for apartment subwoofer... walls crack and the ceiling crumbles, neighbor is dead!
damn that amp is a monster! im curious what chickens t15k would put down on the amp dyno.
Amp test Tuesday FTW!!!!
That's awesome, make my day!!
So with my electrical system I can run this amp at 32ohms lol
Waiting for this video to come out
AWESOMENESS
BROTHER
Question I have a 2010 Ford Crown Victoria what meds and high speakers do you recommend
Thank you very much I've been looking into that Rockford Fosgate power series
glad I got 2 of them should run my 4 emf yolo 15s
that thing is a beast!!!
What would it do with the charger running?
Could you hook up one (or more) of those fancy mechman's from a running car to help your test bench not crumble under that load? I'm sure that beast would do even more like that.
what he can do if he wanted peak performance is have a mechman alt hooked to a 7hp 240 volt electric motor with 1 to 1 ratio pulley, very easy to make and cheaper than buying a high end ac to dc power bank which would cost a few thousand to buy

Hello from east Texas Ninjas!
Thank you for all the amp tests, any chance you can test the vm audio encore 5400.1 d amp? I have asked all the amp dyno guys and they said to ask you. Thanks in advance if you can. Keep up the good work bro👍
Hey man was going through offer up and noticed a dentist company or something like that have an ad and they have your exact logo for their company the SMD font style everything
Did you get a new iphone or a better camera to do videos with? Noticed it a little while back, much better man seeing your work in high quality is awesome! Not to mention its 2018 like wtf you waitin for bruh? lmao
I would give my arm for that amp! I wouldn't be able to hold the steering wheel and turn up the bass at the same time but I'll be jamming tho lol
What's a good charger to keep 350-450 ahr worth of batts at around $100?
