30 years ago I heard 8 6.5 autotek drivers that sounded nothing less than amazing. Autotek used to be equal to hifonics 30 years ago. Zed had his hand on both. The terminals say a lot about the expected outcome should be. Excellent review and highly appreciated ty sir 👍🤞
I have stacked fork terminals to get proper wire gauge. Dual 8 gauge wire off of a 4 to dual 8 distribution block. One kit I used in the late 80”s had fork terminal that took an8 gauge and was real skinny. They can loosen though. I haven’t seen that size fork terminal since. The legs were thin and probably wouldn’t handle much amperage.
I wish someone would do a dyno on the mean machine of this era. Theyre a step above the street machine. When i first saw the amp, i was excited. Then , i saw it was a street machine.
@stereomojo no problem my guy. A you asked me was I this certain person because I keep hounding you about testing Menace Audio amps and other old school amps I have. But no I'm not that person. Just a car audio addict.
900w for under $150 aint bad considering u can get a 2000w rms skar for under $200.i paif $500 for a punch 200 in 94 that prbably did 500w..still good power for street setup.not floating stuff or getting windy like the new craze lol
Hey Joe, got some of your 8 guage ferrells on the way! Got'em straight from your website. On the subject of the amp of the week, that's gotta be the smallest "3600-watt" amp I think I've ever seen. But getting 1271 actual watts, ain't too bad for the price it is. Great vid as always bud. 👍🏻
Yes, thanks Chris! Me and my Son are currently at Waffle House for breakfast, and I’ve got them with me. They’ll be in the PO drop box before we make it back home! Thanks for the support!
The power and ground on that amp are sketchy at best. Somebody with good electrical is going to smell burning wire whilst driving down the road running it hard. The driver is gonna ask his passenger " is someone burning copper ? " . The passenger is gonna say " yeah, you are " 😂😂😂
@StereoMoJo- This amp is okay, but them Spade Power Inputs=🤦😒😢. Your Welsh Audio WA-2K is a Waaaaaay better option/choice IMO. For not much more $ you get Almost 2x the power, Tiffany style RCAs, a Metal Bass Knob W/Clip Light( W/Telephone style connector ), a Fan, & Real 4 Ga. Power Inputs= Awesome Value🎉!
I seen this Aunt hooked up at my local Best buy it was hooked up to a kicker sub a dual 4 wire to 2 ohms and at a 2 ohm load it was getting hot and shutting off in best buy I was using my phone for audio this amp is terrible on the woot app u can get the stetsom ex 3k for 146 and it does over 4 k rms

Nice headroom but IMO
Gotta go with the Welsh Audio WA-2K at that price
@@beemackin2316 yes! Thanks Bee!
I've had a couple Autotek amps doing a real budget build once and in my experience they do about 25% of rated.
Great video as usual

@@FangOfTruth hmmm, that’s interesting. Thanks for the input!
I love my old early 2000 autotek mean machine amps. Have some 4ch and monoblocks.
I hear that quite a bit, guys that had them back it the day. They always say they liked them!
it really should be illegal to rate something like that so high false advertisement
3 35s inside is actually good to me …I prefer amps to have fuses so it gives me a benchmark in wattage

@@MrRupus2020 I’ve got a MM4025 in que
I had a Mean Machine Model 44, 66, 99 and 333. Wish I kept them.
@@TheMazdamn same

Algorithm comment 💪
@@Stoneman1971 thanks Stone!
It’s a sad day when you can compare a planet audio to autotek iykyk😢😢
Damn mojo you are the best of finding the shittiest amps on the planet
@@joshholden8561 yes sir! My specialty! Lol
Already like the video and I haven't watched it yet

@@jermainephillips5179 I used to drool over the DSMs! I graduated in ‘94.
I paid £600 gbp for 400w rms .5% the 20-20khz...seems I may have suggested myself off 😂
200ix was 7 bills otd in 97. People don't realize how $150 got ya nothing back then audio wise
Bust!
Elite sound the Avatar amplifier is at
Just put another $20 down and get an amp that makes real power, a WA-2K!
@@656hookemhorns that’s right!! lol!
