I use the dd 1000.1 and 1000.4 in my side by side and they rock crystal clear sound. It's so loud and clear that it doesn't sound loud until you try to scream. Plus these amps are waterproof so it just doesn't get any better 👍😃
We need a video that tests the most efficient sub amplifiers for everybody who can't upgrade their alternator. Also a video with diy ultra lightweight sub/box combos for performance cars that suffer when 200+lbs of subs/boxes hurt their driving performance.
This amp would be perfect for the Dodge charger single 10” vehicle specific loaded enclosure from skar!! But I like that 12” DD enclosure for the Chrysler 300 also!! 🎉
Where’s the box video?! I just measured and the trunk of the 300 is 15” high and 34” wide, but the DD box measures 15x24x15”!! That will literally fit perfectly behind the seat and still allow one side of the split rear seat to open all the way thru!! 🎉
There are plenty of budget amps that will pump out 600 for less. I’d easily pay $230+tax if it gave me those results at 12.8v. Good Amplifiers are doing rated power at lower Voltages. They are a little pricey, but hey… buy once, cry once 🤷🏻♂️
@@DIYAudioGuy Down4sound Minimaxx is comparable in price, better bass knob, better colors, more wattage and better price…. Sound digital EvoX 800.1… ? I’m sure I can keep going 😂
typically a mini amp would have poor thermals due to the lack of heatsink. We custom tooled a much larger heatsink and used more efficient parts resulting in better thermal management than many of our larger amps.
Not trying to put the DD down by any means, I'm just saying... @@blakebrockhaus347 Straight from DD Audio website for this product: "For the SS Series the main design focus was to pack as much full-range stereo output capability as possible into as compact of a chassis as possible. We utilized discrete circuit class D technology for ultra low distortion levels that rival class AB designs. The resulting amp is capable of driving multiple driver mid-range and tweeter arrays while consuming less current, taking up less space and delivering more power." So... It's a "full-range" monoblock that's "meant for mids and tweeters" when its frequency range goes upto 250hz...? Y'all might want to rethink that. Oh, and for reference, the Apocalypse ATOM-700.2 (which actually could power mids and tweeters if intended) is more powerful at only 2 inches wider and costs less, has a fan in it for active cooling rather than a passive heatsink that'll still get hot with nothing cooling it, and the Atom line-up has been on the market for years to draw inspiration from, so it's not like you've reinvented the wheel...
If you're running stock electrical, you won't get those numbers. Back in the day, we would look at what voltage the manufacturer rated their rms power (usamps rated their amps at 12.5 volts) because you are basically only going to see 13.5 volts on stock electrical with 120 amps of auxiliary equipment, and really, i wouldn't go over a 100 amps on stock electrical
To add to this I've read in the past that 1 percent THD is audible especially at higher frequencies and I don't see any manufacturers that list other specs like damping factor. When did car audio manufacturers throw that out the door?
Normal people with daily systems🤷 Or people with SQ systems. Or someone that is concerned about space. Or someone that wants to run it on stock electrical. Basically much more people than there are bassheads.
Americans want American stuff and complain about the prices😂 And best of all compares to full chinese engineered amp that is no where near this compact size🤦
In order to make an amplifier this small without thermal or reliability issues you need to use high end parts, which cost more. An early version was about half this size and cost and made basically the same power. but the thermals were total crap, it would overheat and run into issues very quickly.
Amp: amzn.to/4dJ7L6n
Subwoofer: amzn.to/4h6Ellp
I have a question about your CNC machine🤣 how much does something like that cost and where could I get one?
@@sirmartinez5276 I'm working on a video to talk about that very thing.
Thanks for the video! Not much content like this for DD
Probably because they were a dealer only brand for many years.
"I have yet to see someone fit that much power in a package this small."
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that.😏
🤣

Why can't you add an extra one?

I've actually got two or three videos ahead of it in the queue, I'll get to it as soon as I can. Hopefully before the end of the month.
Someone please send this man some BassFace amps! 500 watts @1ohm for £58 and 1100w @1ohm for £89! Would love to see those in the Dyno 🤣
That laugh emoji is probably accurate
A joyful presentation.
Love amps that are honest!!
Yep .
Great video! I know you love your jp8, but maybe consider the jp3 I think you'll be very impressed!!!!
I've also got a JP 23, and a pair of jp84's. They're like pokémon, got to catch them all.
@@DIYAudioGuy EXACTLY! Hope you get the jp3, I KNOW you'll be pleasantly surprised!!!
Excuse me sir, please can you share some information on AV Receivers, which ones are good from low to high budget?
Free stuff is awesome!

Yes, but do any of them do it in such a small package? This is prefect if space is at a premium.

@@astro54541i have the d4s it fair apart with impedance rise
Do these small amps tend to run hotter & are they geared mostly for bikes ?

That is true for any amp.
Nice 1
When did 1%THD become acceptable? I thought you wanted less than 1% THD at rated power
@@jasontroy3911 rated power IS at 1%. This is the industry standard.
@@RAW-CAt I guess I'm outdated. Back in the 80s and 90s home and car audio had ratings under 1 percent THD at rated power
Since it makes more than rated power at 1% thd, it's less than 1% thd at rated power.
To add to this I've read in the past that 1 percent THD is audible especially at higher frequencies and I don't see any manufacturers that list other specs like damping factor. When did car audio manufacturers throw that out the door?
@@jasontroy3911 not sure, but damping factor is most useless spec these days 🤷
In 2024 who the actual F wants 600 watts?
Normal people with daily systems🤷 Or people with SQ systems. Or someone that is concerned about space. Or someone that wants to run it on stock electrical. Basically much more people than there are bassheads.
I’m just confused why this costs $229 🫠🫠
About the same price as a full size Alpine or JL with similar power numbers, but in a compact chassis.
@@DIYAudioGuy sure. May I introduce them to the Recoil Red600.1 which crushes for half the price
