Derek ,Great Video .!! Like always!! I would love to see you tear some of these Targa or ICE audio amplifiers in South African They claim outrageous claims like the Mustang and Pyramid Equalizer’s Still do I am talking 9000 watts,RMS they claim is 60X4 ?? How does that happen Some are Even as high as 30,000 even maybe 50,000 gigawatts lmao I would love to see what these items amp Dyno at lmao Anyways I believe that with Class D technology These Temu and cheaper amplifiers will make their rates power sometimes .But when if you tested a Class A/B ? It would most likely fail Class D makes it easy and cheap To create digital power
Down 4 sound amps are way worst than this TEMU amp. This thing is actually a newer design. The junk from JP are ancient design he just knocked off from other china amps.
@@guysgt5003would you care to elaborate on your previous comment?? I'm very interested in hearing how & why you think that this TEMU amp is superior to the various variety of D4S JP amps. @guysgt5003 how is this 5 Channel 'BEMINES' amp "a newer design amp than the JP95"??? I can't wait for you to reply so I can gain some knowledge from you. Afterall did you fail to notice this TEMU amp does not even have a bass remote?! Hmm this cheap Chinese 5 Channel 'BEMINES' amp somehow utilizes a more "advanced design" when compared to the South Korean D4S JP amps 😂 oh for some reason I think @guysgt5003 truly believes what he commented 😅 NOW IF HE'D JUST ELABORATE AND EXPLAIN WHY THE CHEAP 'BEMINES' AMP IS SUPERIOR TO THE SOUTH KOREAN HALF BRIDGE JP AMPS... (I'm doubting @guysgt5003 will even reply now, all crickets!)
It's might be anemic, BUT, it's putting out more juice than a lot of "premium" factory car audio systems. This with 4 speakers and a 10" DVC sub would sound worlds better than what you get in a lot of cars.
yea i mean 300w to sub. granted its 1ohm wich is very uncommon for a 5 channel amp in the name brand industry. but wattage of 300w into 2ohm is pretty much where 95% of the normal name brand 5ch amps sit at so... this isnt far off the mark at all.
Wow! Those little 40 amp mini blades are working overtime! That thing was putting out a thousand watts total with all channels maxed out. 👏 Could you imagine having a 5 channel amp with these capabilities for this price back in the 90s?
most importantly ...they listed the correct power! IT DOES ITS RATED POWER! that's a huge deal. Does rated power on a dyno, didnt explode, didnt sound like hot garbage, and cost 100 bucks.. lets take a minute to reflect on just how awesome that is.. where we were 10-15 years ago. Great job as always Big D!
the correct power is listed, i hope its not just a fluke, but even the circuitry inside looks good. this was probably designed for a very small car in mind,
You sound like a salesman for this board. But I totally agree with you. If I could get my car audio to sound like that based on a $100 amp. I'd be majorly happy. If you're really that stressed out about the low power on the base, it's not hard to put another inline power amp in. I give this thing an 8/10 given the cost and 'bang-for-'buck'. It's a car for peats sake. Anything better than a valve radio, in my opinion, is a major plus!
but tbh this amp probably wont last for very long. the components in such amps are working on the edge to get this kind of performance. JL amps do their power for ages without even stressing or getting hot. they are meant to last, this one is meant to sell
@@sushi3377 I beg to differ. I bought a jl 300/4 brand new....used upon normal operation, two channels went out unexpectedly. All that money for a brand name amp not to last. I'll take my chances with this.
I was reluctant to order anything from Temu. However, after I had ordered a couple things I was surprised. Their stuff is decent. Not bad. Definitely not bad at all for the price.

It's quite astonishing how class D has made such abundant power, reasonable quality and tiny size the norm these days. This may not be the last word in quality, but I would guess its better designed than a lot of car brands OEM amplifiers, and more powerful too.
I was just thinking of building my own amp using a few driver ICs (2092s perhaps) to put juice on my sub. Output buffers and more, stouter transistors won't hurt to be stable at 1 ohm, eh?
@@TheGodofSEOOh, you're not familiar are you? You see, Sam has a habit of saying that a amplifier circuit board is the "same" as this other brand. He doesn't mean literally that it's exactly the same, he means it's the same basic layout and design. I want the people who read these comments know what Sam meant when he said the boards are the "same".
Amazing, I didn't think it'll do anything near that power. Great video my man. Just looked these up, they are $140 now. I believe there are better options available and you won't have to wait too long to get. Once again your knocking it out the park.
Weird nostalgia seeing the multiple models and one manual thing, specifically for 90s era Profile California amps, with that giant amp being the top model
Thanks for checking in on this one. I've been wondering if it was worth rolling the dice on Temu audio stuff. Here's an example of why it could be a steal, because we all know, Temu is hit and miss.
Love to watch failures and lies exposed. I'm old but like good sound in my truck. Can you suggest sub amp good quality 250 watts a 4 ohm. I'm ready for more tests
Honestly this amp would go great with a Walmart special car audio system.. 1 10" kicker for the sub and front and rear interior with kicker as well.. 5 ¼ and 6x9s a low buck system IMO
@wal They all start somewhere.. just remember it ok to upgrade, not with 4 letter shoppin sites like eBay temu wish..just keep givin us a reason to upgrade big dummy.. 😉
I wouldn't trade it for my D4S JP95 thank you Mr. Williston for doing a review on that Amp I finally got mine and it is amazing... now to fine tune it so I quit smoking tweeters lol
I found that constantly fiddling with the head unit every time the song changes is a real pain in the rear. You could easily get an inline RCA style bass knob to easily control the sub level.
@@JasonWW2000 I have a din size alpine head unit & I only have to push 2 different buttons to get to sub level. So it's not that much of a problem in my case.
This amp DOES have a bass level control. It just doesn't have a *_remote_* bass control. . Seems totally unnecessary for normal folk, since who needs to adjust the bass level for every song? . Every head unit has Bass and Treble, and/or EQ so you can adjust it there if you must fiddle around. You might be better normalizing the tracks you are playing, so they have a more constant volume and bass that you desire. That will then apply for every time you play them! . Or if you really need a remote control, it's trivial to add a attentuator onto the RCA line that's feeding down to the amp's sub channel.
The fact that it performs its advertised power is honorable! how many mid range brands pull their "MAX POWER" attention whore numbers to attract you but fail miserable to deliver, also look at the size of it! I remember back in the 00s you'll need a skateboard to pull those numbers, I was doing a friends car installation and I told him how back in the day amps where sold 1.00 per watt, I slapped a 800w skar (kit) that cost him 300, 12" sub in box+ amp+ installation kit..🙄
20 bucks for one person at DQ yesterday. They screamed for a higher minimum wage without thinking it would raise the cost of the poor quality food they put out. Enough people quit eating out, they out of a job, period. Not supposed to raise a family on a transition job. You get work experience from those low wage jobs as kids, then grow up to the next level. Too many adult children running around. Nobody wants to grow up and have responsibilities so we have what we have today... poot. Sorry for the rant that was not aimed at you sir or ma'am... it just came out, diarrhea of the mouth so to speak
I mean, get 4 quality coaxials and a nice 10 or a 12 and you have an incredible system for under $400, wiring, amp, box, speakers and all that. Incredible time to be alive
As soon as we saw Temu, I was expecting something that completely missed the quoted specs. I am impressed that it's not terrible. Is OK for what it is.
Of course, it’s not the best thing you can get, but I am impressed at that value for an all-in-one amp. Looks like a basic DSP would go along way with this amplifier.
Honest power ratings are always welcome! The amp is a winner in my book 🙂 ... I'm going on I don't know how many years in disbelief that brands like Boss, Maxxsonics, Sound Around, Epsilon, etc... haven't been sued out of business for lying about power ratings!
Pretty much every company has been guilty of slapping a max number on the front of their product or packaging(reputable electronics giants like Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, and have even seen occasions where car audio legends like Kicker and Alpine have done it.) People only tend to call out those entry level brands, and the problem is that this results in unwarranted shaming towards people just getting into audio and are on a budget, who are going to be the ones buying them. It becomes more about gatekeeping, just because people aren't knowledgeable about something they're new to and don't spend big bucks right away, instead of focusing on the sneaky business practices themselves.
Well it ain't as teabag as I thought it would be. Looks under capped but otherwise clean soldering, etc. Makes decent power in a small size, I'd have liked to see the thermals. I haven't been this surprised since the $50 Walmart amps (?Jensen?).
I'm glad to see you review this Bemines amp! I've been eyeballing this amp every time I visit Temu. It's good to see a cheap Chinese amp label true wattage on it instead of some stupid 9000W or something. This will make the perfect amp for someone who's only looking for a cheap setup that can fill in the lows a bit. As for controlling the bass output, Temu also sells a low level bass remote that connects inline with the RCA inputs. It has two knobs, one for the volume level, and one for the crossover frequency. That will give full control of the sub section of the amp. I may very well use this amp in my Geo Metro as it's the perfect size and power output for my purposes.
@@T_Burd_75 I wasn't referring to the amplifier I was referring to the remote bass knob that you mentioned. If I were going to get a remote bass knob I would want it to be a simple, passive device.
@@JasonWW2000 I know. But he mentioned in the review that the amp lacked a remote bass control knob, something that he didn't like. Since the sub section of the amp uses separate RCA inputs, that can be controlled by a controller connected inline with the RCA cables. And having level control and a variable sub crossover control, you can adjust what frequency you want the bass to kick in and how loud when it does. And you won't have to crawl under the seat with a tiny screwdriver to do it.
@@T_Burd_75 Crawling under the seat to adjust the crossover point is a one-time job. You basically set it and forget it. The potential issue that you're not thinking of is that the active crossover circuitry built into the remote might add noise, distortion or clipping which the amplifier is going to amplify. I personally wouldn't take that risk. I'd rather keep the remote bass knob a simple passive device, a stereo potentiometer, and then have all the crossover circuitry done either in the amplifier or upstream in a DSP. That's just me, though. Maybe the particular device you're talking about is perfectly fine and isn't going to cause any problems. I can't think of any practical use for adjusting the crossover frequency in the remote, though. I would probably just set the frequency and then hot glue the knob in that position so I don't accidentally change it. By the way, what is the name or model of the remote knob you're talking about?
Lol the first time I saw an amp on the website I laughed and said in my head " let's see what big D says about that" I've been wanting to see this without being the dude that asked for it 😂 it don't seem like a bad little amp and went low ohm without giving up the 👻
I'm pretty sure the parent company making these is the same company making wudi and facmogu amps or its the same build house just going off the board numbers
Thanks for doing this. Ive looked at the amps on temu quite a bit and always figured the numbers were inflated and im sure most are. I feel like u got lucky picking that one.
My biggest concern on cheap brand amps is not really wether they do rated power or not, the question is how long can they do it for? RELIABILITY is the big question here. What good does it do if it can do rated power but goes up in smoke a week later. Then those $100 were thrown away
Correct, there are many factors involved besides power. You've got reliability, all the various protection circuits, features, the noise floor, the sound quality, whether it's going to inject noise into your automobile, etc... Lots of things, but it making rated power is a really good first test that most amplifiers are not able to pass.
Hello big fan of your here. Would you review the Rockford fosgate t3 19 inch subwoofer. There are no real reviews of this sub out there they way you can thoroughly review. Thanks for your time and attention...
I'm curious what factory is producing this and who else they produce for. The amp is 90% of the way there, fix the ratings and include some more features, and it's a decent product especially at the price point; one of my biggest peeves is the output block, a speaker pair should always be grouped on the same terminal bank, this would have also opened up room for a secondary sub terminal, say 1L1R-2L2R-S+-S- on the top then 3L3R-4L4R-S+S- on the bottom, this is just cleaner and works much better for speaker wire that is in a multi-core jacket with pants. I really wanted to know what the chips were, probably some TI knockoff, which may lend to original TI chips providing truer ratings. Maybe we're finally getting into the era of abundant dirt cheap tiny chip amps; if a no-name Chinese factory can produce this for a no-name brand, imagine what would happen if the lowest end companies started buying these up, imagine finding one of these at Walmart with a more recognizable name; which would honestly go well with everything else in the Walmart car audio bargain bin, and this would be fine for anyone who wants an upgrade from stock systems but doesn't want anything crazy.
😂. A week ago I was drunk as hell. And a TEMU ad popped up. And well. They suckered me in I bought 7 wristwatches and a wallet Cost me 52$ 😂 With having said that. I very well might try to buy this amp. Be pretty good for the work van
Overall, I'm cool with the performance, but i agree that buying from a site like that is risky. It would be a fun little amp to stuff into a power wheels for your kid or something.
Did very well but it's also $100 and not like the $30 stuff you'll find on there, so while it's not expensive it's also not cheap like a lot of the junk, either. A shame you need to have a 1-Ohm load on the sub channel to get the 300W out of it though. Would me more ideal if it did that at 2-Ohm and then was even 450W at 1-Ohm that would be fine.
The amount of fake brand names is amazing. Sometimes I want to meet the people who decide to make those names and ask them how much he/she been smoking.
I worked at a local audio shop in the early 90s. We had an installer that was a bit..uh..eccentric. He seemed to never sleep. He built our sound room in one night. His name was Tony Greene. Well, Tony decided to install some Savard RAP 18s in his 1990 Honda Civic hatchback...8 Savard RAP 18s to be exact. The car was a total BEAST!! We dealt Savard so his car was a great sales tool when someone asked about Savard woofers...which at the time...were somewhat unknown in our area. I sold and installed quite a few Savard woofers thanks to Tony's car winning over potential buyers. Tony went on to compete occasionally with his Honda in USAC and IASCA. Man..those were the days. All of us that worked there had great systems of every configuration...from SQ machines to SPL monsters...and most of us competed quite often. I miss those days!!
[Verse] Feels like a dream, feels like magic Now I believe I can have it [Chorus] Ooh-ooh Temu Ooh-ooh Temu All of my wishes came true [Bridge] Shop like a billionaire (Temu) Shop like a billionaire (Temu Temu) [Chorus] Ooh-ooh Temu (Temu) Ooh-ooh Temu (Ooh)
Arguably the chip style amps can achieve better sound results as they usually switch from 400khz all the way up to 1mhz I believe whereas discrete style mosfet class d full range is around 250khz.
Big D, gave you a like on this one even before I could skip the ad just because i thought it was really brave of you to risk a 100 bucks on that Another good video
Good subject of test.....BUT test it at 12V to 12.8V is the way to go. 14.5v is unreal-fair for futur user of any amp you've/will test Same with THD limit at 1% Its hard to not bleed from eyes at such THD. Any amplifier or source must be test at a real need of quality with a test limit set at 0.1% THD for the RMS score If you want to add 1%THD range after why not. For fun Also fun to observ the top,max,pmpo,peak,ultranoisy 1/100000e second max power before clipping on labs material and share a 9000w amp with 10%thd and weite it on webpage, chinese are avle to do it and be proud. But not us. So conclusion here if real fair test is : in absolute perfect ideal condition nobody could reproduce in real use, you could have the announced power in a quality that destroy your ears and maybe eyes too 👀 Thd turn your balls in flat powder bag, eyes bleeding desesperatly and during the torture test in car it also could probably cook an egg on top of amplifier heatsink/body/advertisement 🐝 bee mines Just use it to stop your car rolling back in driveway and look at a normal fair reasonable THD/RMS/VOLTAGE/ real world rendering But thank you testing some amplifier no one have tried on a bench Cheers from France 🇨🇵 Thank you for your channel ❤
I mean, H.P Hong started out advertising S&I board Korean amps on Alibaba...no comparison of course, but some Chinese boards are not too bad. Before I got my wolfram 9ks I ran 2 Hifonix BG4000s on 3-Sundown zv6 18s and it got down...and that was running them at the (not) recommended resistance of .67 per amp lol...got warm but never shut down
Can I ask for a review of the BT30D PRO Fosi Audio Bluetooth Amplifier? Has a Bass Control Knob and supposedly does 165 watts X 2 + 350 watts subwoofer. Also allows Passive and Active Outputs.
How does it handle running a heavy load for a period of time ? I still remember an amp I had in the late 90s, I think JVC, it worked great for 30 minutes then overheats and shuts down until it cools, repeat the cycle over and over. Annoying on long drives.
I mean, it came from temu and actually did rated power? Not only is that surprising, I'm surprised it actually arrived as an amp, not a like, a model of an amp LOL.
I don’t why these amp builders make the speakers channels so loud most people would be good with a 100 rms on each door channels and just use the rest the power on the sub hmm 🤷 idk I could be wrong
A stable AC to DC power supply would be advisable for the use of the amp Dyno testing, this of course would be a 220 volt AC to variable DC voltage output that utilizes High DC current stability. Using lithium batteries without alternator backup is actually an unfair test.. .
Still not gonna do that avatar ATU ah? I mean I measured the voltage output around 65.7v I think it was. Rated for 2k @1 but well, 65v is about double the rated power for a lil $200 amp
Reliability? Sound Quality? Fire Hazard? Those are all things I would be concerned about w/ no name brands like this. I realize it’s usually the same internals in a different box snd that there are many bands w/ the same product. But there are other things to consider besides power output.
I was shocked when I played 300 dollars for 2 crunch pz2-4030.1D turned halfway up and absolutely slam 4 kicker l7 12 2ohm solos would love to see a real test done on one
I got 2 of thee 4 channel amps that are a different name brand...but you tested a variant of this and I got them in my daughter's car. One on highs and the other bridged to 2 12's that I have free air mounted on a board behind her rear seat. Impressed for how much I spent!
😂 puts out more wattage in general compared to my factory amp only getting 15w to each speaker only thing i did was connect 2 12s to the stock amp till i can afford to install an amp .
Sub remote isn't that critical.. Most head units will have one built in. It's not like your doing db drags and hair tricks with this amp. Lol. Id rather not be charged for it.
I bet the sound is terrible on a semi HiFi car stereo. I bought a cheap no name amp to stand in for an amp I was getting fixed and I remember everything sounded like I was using Bluetooth.
It does what they said it would do. It's a reasonable price. Why not use it in a car or a boat that's easy to break into. I just need enough to fill up a small 80s single cab mini truck with hard hitting metal.
I admit it I have a healthy amount of skepticism in Temu. This amp may not be bussin but it does play for the money you’re putting out on it. But it ain’t gonna bust any windshields.
This amp would work great for someone that just wanted a good sounding system for listening rather than trying to piss off the old people in the neighborhood.

@@JasonWW2000 ok because Sam doesn’t know what he’s talking about bro. 🤣🤣
@@TheGodofSEOOh, you're not familiar are you? You see, Sam has a habit of saying that a amplifier circuit board is the "same" as this other brand. He doesn't mean literally that it's exactly the same, he means it's the same basic layout and design.
I want the people who read these comments know what Sam meant when he said the boards are the "same".
Not a bad amp for someone not looking for crazy bass. I'm surprised!
Yeah I have an Amp for my subs, I would add this to push my door speakers in my xj
Amazing, I didn't think it'll do anything near that power. Great video my man. Just looked these up, they are $140 now. I believe there are better options available and you won't have to wait too long to get. Once again your knocking it out the park.
Now I wanna do a temu build 😂
Weird nostalgia seeing the multiple models and one manual thing, specifically for 90s era Profile California amps, with that giant amp being the top model
For a pickup or hatchback "beater with a heater", this would be perfect.
They have actual good amps 1500 2k 3 5 7 k models and u can see share the same board as allot of main brand amps.
Down for sound was watching..took it as a personal challenge...
Expect a matchbox amp with 4k power
Good for starter amp, get 2 sets of h yanka 6x9 and a Skar Audio IX-10 D2 or 12 inch and a box. Nice little set up for 300 - 400 bucks.
About time i been waiting to see u dyno 1 if these temu amps they actual giod power amps if u look
Golf clap 👏 👏 👏 ... its not a beast but does what is advertised..W in my book
Thanks for checking in on this one. I've been wondering if it was worth rolling the dice on Temu audio stuff. Here's an example of why it could be a steal, because we all know, Temu is hit and miss.
Just remember that Temu is not a brand, it's a marketplace similar to eBay or Amazon. So you still have to choose the right brand.
@@JasonWW2000 I wasn't implying it was a brand. It's the same thing as calling something an Amazon, Ebay, or Walmart amp.
@@89GCool.
Killer bang for the buck for a loud door setup and a compact well built single 10 4th order to make up for the silly low sub channel wattage.
Where was this amp when we were out cruising 30 years ago??
I am impressed!
I'm shocked--Temu isn't Etsy for sure. I would have bet on flea market amp power!
Love to watch failures and lies exposed. I'm old but like good sound in my truck. Can you suggest sub amp good quality 250 watts a 4 ohm. I'm ready for more tests
Honestly this amp would go great with a Walmart special car audio system.. 1 10" kicker for the sub and front and rear interior with kicker as well.. 5 ¼ and 6x9s a low buck system IMO
Agreed totally not a bad amp I just don’t condone using TEMU
@wal They all start somewhere.. just remember it ok to upgrade, not with 4 letter shoppin sites like eBay temu wish..just keep givin us a reason to upgrade big dummy.. 😉
Perfect for a motorcycle that doesn’t need subwoofer
I wouldn't trade it for my D4S JP95 thank you Mr. Williston for doing a review on that Amp I finally got mine and it is amazing... now to fine tune it so I quit smoking tweeters lol
This is mind blowing 🤯 like wut.........
Those fuses are normal in eu and jdm cars
Not having a subwoofer level control for the amp doesnt bother me. I just use the one on my Alpine head unit
Yeah, most modern head units have an adjustment.
My kenwood has it, along with built in crossovers. Makes tuning easy.
I found that constantly fiddling with the head unit every time the song changes is a real pain in the rear. You could easily get an inline RCA style bass knob to easily control the sub level.
@@JasonWW2000 I have a din size alpine head unit & I only have to push 2 different buttons to get to sub level. So it's not that much of a problem in my case.
This amp DOES have a bass level control. It just doesn't have a *_remote_* bass control.
.
Seems totally unnecessary for normal folk, since who needs to adjust the bass level for every song?
.
Every head unit has Bass and Treble, and/or EQ so you can adjust it there if you must fiddle around. You might be better normalizing the tracks you are playing, so they have a more constant volume and bass that you desire. That will then apply for every time you play them!
.
Or if you really need a remote control, it's trivial to add a attentuator onto the RCA line that's feeding down to the amp's sub channel.
The fact that it performs its advertised power is honorable! how many mid range brands pull their "MAX POWER" attention whore numbers to attract you but fail miserable to deliver, also look at the size of it! I remember back in the 00s you'll need a skateboard to pull those numbers, I was doing a friends car installation and I told him how back in the day amps where sold 1.00 per watt, I slapped a 800w skar (kit) that cost him 300, 12" sub in box+ amp+ installation kit..🙄
Modern semiconductors are pretty amazing and have transformed Society.
I would take it over a Blaupunkt
Hey mate! I have an amp I'd love you to test. It claims to be 5000watts at 0.5 ohms. It's chunky but to me.. I don't know.
Lower than 1 ohm load tests on the sub channel or other channels?
Was nice to see the below 1 ohm best part !
#watchtilltheendcrew
Just think this amp would probably have been $1000 plus in the 80s 😮
The semiconductor Market has changed a lot in the last 40 years.
BASS sounded great.
NO HEAT DISSIPATION FINS, FAN? I bet it overheats fast.
ChengXing capacitors are to be highly avoided. They may work properly at the moment, but they will eventually fail after a year or two.
neat-oh
Surprised...!
I often wonder if every site I go to grabs my info and I have been in thousands of sites why do they still need my info?
What info? Your name, email and postal address?
.
How else would they know who you are, how to contact you, and where to send your purchases? 🙄
What a time to live. This amp will make most teenagers car door speakers scream as they are working a minimum wage job!
Minimum wage is like 18 an hr nowadays
What on their electric scooters?
I hear kids Uber / Lyft nowadays
20 bucks for one person at DQ yesterday. They screamed for a higher minimum wage without thinking it would raise the cost of the poor quality food they put out. Enough people quit eating out, they out of a job, period. Not supposed to raise a family on a transition job. You get work experience from those low wage jobs as kids, then grow up to the next level. Too many adult children running around. Nobody wants to grow up and have responsibilities so we have what we have today... poot. Sorry for the rant that was not aimed at you sir or ma'am... it just came out, diarrhea of the mouth so to speak
Most don't even want a driver's license much less own a car!
I mean, get 4 quality coaxials and a nice 10 or a 12 and you have an incredible system for under $400, wiring, amp, box, speakers and all that. Incredible time to be alive
The super duper TEMU Bemines showing Maxxsonics just how to do power ratings.
As soon as we saw Temu, I was expecting something that completely missed the quoted specs. I am impressed that it's not terrible. Is OK for what it is.
Dang, decent power, no spade terminals, cheap, I'm kinda shocked! All u need us a rca bass knob and you're good to go👍
I opened my phone to 2 alerts. Temu and big D talking about temu amps 😂
I can promise you'll only get one alert from me....TEMU on the other hand stays constantly firing
They definitely send a bunch of messages 😂😂😂 They always make me laugh. “ Hello Dear, don’t pass up these exceptional deals” 😆😆😆
Of course, it’s not the best thing you can get, but I am impressed at that value for an all-in-one amp.
Looks like a basic DSP would go along way with this amplifier.
Honest power ratings are always welcome! The amp is a winner in my book 🙂 ... I'm going on I don't know how many years in disbelief that brands like Boss, Maxxsonics, Sound Around, Epsilon, etc... haven't been sued out of business for lying about power ratings!
Pretty much every company has been guilty of slapping a max number on the front of their product or packaging(reputable electronics giants like Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, and have even seen occasions where car audio legends like Kicker and Alpine have done it.)
People only tend to call out those entry level brands, and the problem is that this results in unwarranted shaming towards people just getting into audio and are on a budget, who are going to be the ones buying them. It becomes more about gatekeeping, just because people aren't knowledgeable about something they're new to and don't spend big bucks right away, instead of focusing on the sneaky business practices themselves.
The reason they haven't been sued is because it's not against the law.
Did you forget Pyramid. They were the worst.
Well it ain't as teabag as I thought it would be. Looks under capped but otherwise clean soldering, etc. Makes decent power in a small size, I'd have liked to see the thermals. I haven't been this surprised since the $50 Walmart amps (?Jensen?).
I'm glad to see you review this Bemines amp! I've been eyeballing this amp every time I visit Temu. It's good to see a cheap Chinese amp label true wattage on it instead of some stupid 9000W or something. This will make the perfect amp for someone who's only looking for a cheap setup that can fill in the lows a bit.
As for controlling the bass output, Temu also sells a low level bass remote that connects inline with the RCA inputs. It has two knobs, one for the volume level, and one for the crossover frequency. That will give full control of the sub section of the amp.
I may very well use this amp in my Geo Metro as it's the perfect size and power output for my purposes.
I would avoid that if it has a crossover in it.
@@JasonWW2000 Why? It works like a ZK-MT21 amp. Gives more flexibility.
@@T_Burd_75 I wasn't referring to the amplifier I was referring to the remote bass knob that you mentioned. If I were going to get a remote bass knob I would want it to be a simple, passive device.
@@JasonWW2000 I know. But he mentioned in the review that the amp lacked a remote bass control knob, something that he didn't like. Since the sub section of the amp uses separate RCA inputs, that can be controlled by a controller connected inline with the RCA cables. And having level control and a variable sub crossover control, you can adjust what frequency you want the bass to kick in and how loud when it does. And you won't have to crawl under the seat with a tiny screwdriver to do it.
@@T_Burd_75 Crawling under the seat to adjust the crossover point is a one-time job. You basically set it and forget it.
The potential issue that you're not thinking of is that the active crossover circuitry built into the remote might add noise, distortion or clipping which the amplifier is going to amplify. I personally wouldn't take that risk. I'd rather keep the remote bass knob a simple passive device, a stereo potentiometer, and then have all the crossover circuitry done either in the amplifier or upstream in a DSP. That's just me, though. Maybe the particular device you're talking about is perfectly fine and isn't going to cause any problems. I can't think of any practical use for adjusting the crossover frequency in the remote, though. I would probably just set the frequency and then hot glue the knob in that position so I don't accidentally change it.
By the way, what is the name or model of the remote knob you're talking about?
Lol the first time I saw an amp on the website I laughed and said in my head " let's see what big D says about that" I've been wanting to see this without being the dude that asked for it 😂 it don't seem like a bad little amp and went low ohm without giving up the 👻
Blows my mind too. Cant even get these higher end companies to rate properly. But get one from Temu and be surprised lol
I'm pretty sure the parent company making these is the same company making wudi and facmogu amps or its the same build house just going off the board numbers
Thanks for doing this. Ive looked at the amps on temu quite a bit and always figured the numbers were inflated and im sure most are. I feel like u got lucky picking that one.
Yes, every brand could be very different from one another.
My biggest concern on cheap brand amps is not really wether they do rated power or not, the question is how long can they do it for? RELIABILITY is the big question here. What good does it do if it can do rated power but goes up in smoke a week later. Then those $100 were thrown away
Correct, there are many factors involved besides power. You've got reliability, all the various protection circuits, features, the noise floor, the sound quality, whether it's going to inject noise into your automobile, etc... Lots of things, but it making rated power is a really good first test that most amplifiers are not able to pass.
Try testing the Audison Hv Venti amplifier @williston Audio Labs
Hello big fan of your here. Would you review the Rockford fosgate t3 19 inch subwoofer. There are no real reviews of this sub out there they way you can thoroughly review. Thanks for your time and attention...
I'm curious what factory is producing this and who else they produce for. The amp is 90% of the way there, fix the ratings and include some more features, and it's a decent product especially at the price point; one of my biggest peeves is the output block, a speaker pair should always be grouped on the same terminal bank, this would have also opened up room for a secondary sub terminal, say 1L1R-2L2R-S+-S- on the top then 3L3R-4L4R-S+S- on the bottom, this is just cleaner and works much better for speaker wire that is in a multi-core jacket with pants. I really wanted to know what the chips were, probably some TI knockoff, which may lend to original TI chips providing truer ratings. Maybe we're finally getting into the era of abundant dirt cheap tiny chip amps; if a no-name Chinese factory can produce this for a no-name brand, imagine what would happen if the lowest end companies started buying these up, imagine finding one of these at Walmart with a more recognizable name; which would honestly go well with everything else in the Walmart car audio bargain bin, and this would be fine for anyone who wants an upgrade from stock systems but doesn't want anything crazy.
Actually you have already sold out your information if you have Tik Toc or venmo
😂. A week ago I was drunk as hell. And a TEMU ad popped up. And well. They suckered me in
I bought 7 wristwatches and a wallet Cost me 52$ 😂
With having said that. I very well might try to buy this amp. Be pretty good for the work van
you will be very happy in about 4 weeks....😊
Overall, I'm cool with the performance, but i agree that buying from a site like that is risky. It would be a fun little amp to stuff into a power wheels for your kid or something.
😂 Big D... you rock 🎸 💪 gotta try bumpn sumthn
A nice review here but will I buy one NO😂
When you were reading the description of the speakers I thought you were telling us the name of some Temu speakers. 😂
Thank you for testing a “Temu” amp, I was really curious about the quality and the truth in numbers. You da man!!!
Did very well but it's also $100 and not like the $30 stuff you'll find on there, so while it's not expensive it's also not cheap like a lot of the junk, either. A shame you need to have a 1-Ohm load on the sub channel to get the 300W out of it though. Would me more ideal if it did that at 2-Ohm and then was even 450W at 1-Ohm that would be fine.
Yah not that great of a deal. But hey. It makes rated!
The amount of fake brand names is amazing. Sometimes I want to meet the people who decide to make those names and ask them how much he/she been smoking.
i expected this thing to do 50 watts max.. but im impressed :o
I worked at a local audio shop in the early 90s. We had an installer that was a bit..uh..eccentric. He seemed to never sleep. He built our sound room in one night.
His name was Tony Greene. Well, Tony decided to install some Savard RAP 18s in his 1990 Honda Civic hatchback...8 Savard RAP 18s to be exact. The car was a total BEAST!! We dealt Savard so his car was a great sales tool when someone asked about Savard woofers...which at the time...were somewhat unknown in our area. I sold and installed quite a few Savard woofers thanks to Tony's car winning over potential buyers.
Tony went on to compete occasionally with his Honda in USAC and IASCA. Man..those were the days. All of us that worked there had great systems of every configuration...from SQ machines to SPL monsters...and most of us competed quite often. I miss those days!!
Can it run Steeve Meade's home subwoofers? 😅
It’s a clean d amp! D’amore amp!!
[Verse]
Feels like a dream, feels like magic
Now I believe I can have it

Ooh-ooh Temu
Ooh-ooh Temu
All of my wishes came true

Shop like a billionaire (Temu)
Shop like a billionaire (Temu Temu)

Ooh-ooh Temu (Temu)
Ooh-ooh Temu (Ooh)
Arguably the chip style amps can achieve better sound results as they usually switch from 400khz all the way up to 1mhz I believe whereas discrete style mosfet class d full range is around 250khz.
Big D, gave you a like on this one even before I could skip the ad just because i thought it was really brave of you to risk a 100 bucks on that
Another good video
Surprised by this amp. Not everything from China is bad. Usually hit or miss.
Hola amigo Big Dummy, saludos desde Colombia, amamos tus videos!!!
Good subject of test.....BUT
test it at 12V to 12.8V is the way to go. 14.5v is unreal-fair for futur user of any amp you've/will test
Same with THD limit at 1%
Its hard to not bleed from eyes at such THD. Any amplifier or source must be test at a real need of quality with a test limit set at 0.1% THD for the RMS score
If you want to add 1%THD range after why not. For fun
Also fun to observ the top,max,pmpo,peak,ultranoisy 1/100000e second max power before clipping on labs material and share a 9000w amp with 10%thd and weite it on webpage, chinese are avle to do it and be proud. But not us.
So conclusion here if real fair test is : in absolute perfect ideal condition nobody could reproduce in real use, you could have the announced power in a quality that destroy your ears and maybe eyes too 👀
Thd turn your balls in flat powder bag, eyes bleeding desesperatly and during the torture test in car it also could probably cook an egg on top of amplifier heatsink/body/advertisement 🐝 bee mines
Just use it to stop your car rolling back in driveway and look at a normal fair reasonable THD/RMS/VOLTAGE/ real world rendering
But thank you testing some amplifier no one have tried on a bench
Cheers from France 🇨🇵
Thank you for your channel ❤
I mean, H.P Hong started out advertising S&I board Korean amps on Alibaba...no comparison of course, but some Chinese boards are not too bad. Before I got my wolfram 9ks I ran 2 Hifonix BG4000s on 3-Sundown zv6 18s and it got down...and that was running them at the (not) recommended resistance of .67 per amp lol...got warm but never shut down
Can I ask for a review of the BT30D PRO Fosi Audio Bluetooth Amplifier? Has a Bass Control Knob and supposedly does 165 watts X 2 + 350 watts subwoofer. Also allows Passive and Active Outputs.
How does it handle running a heavy load for a period of time ? I still remember an amp I had in the late 90s, I think JVC, it worked great for 30 minutes then overheats and shuts down until it cools, repeat the cycle over and over. Annoying on long drives.
I mean, it came from temu and actually did rated power? Not only is that surprising, I'm surprised it actually arrived as an amp, not a like, a model of an amp LOL.
Dude I missed a double terminal 6k Amp from temu for 260.wheb I went back it was gone... 😢 The internals was awesome and it was labeled pioneer lol
I don’t why these amp builders make the speakers channels so loud most people would be good with a 100 rms on each door channels and just use the rest the power on the sub hmm 🤷 idk I could be wrong
I've ordered some stuff from Temu. The shipping is a little sketchy, but I was able to buy some items you cannot get here in the US for my air rifle
A stable AC to DC power supply would be advisable for the use of the amp Dyno testing, this of course would be a 220 volt AC to variable DC voltage output that utilizes High DC current stability.
Using lithium batteries without alternator backup is actually an unfair test.. .
Still not gonna do that avatar ATU ah?
I mean I measured the voltage output around 65.7v I think it was. Rated for 2k @1 but well, 65v is about double the rated power for a lil $200 amp
What about driving all chans simultaneously at max power? Overheat or bad clipping maybe? hmm...
Reliability? Sound Quality? Fire Hazard? Those are all things I would be concerned about w/ no name brands like this. I realize it’s usually the same internals in a different box snd that there are many bands w/ the same product. But there are other things to consider besides power output.
I was shocked when I played 300 dollars for 2 crunch pz2-4030.1D turned halfway up and absolutely slam 4 kicker l7 12 2ohm solos would love to see a real test done on one
I got 2 of thee 4 channel amps that are a different name brand...but you tested a variant of this and I got them in my daughter's car. One on highs and the other bridged to 2 12's that I have free air mounted on a board behind her rear seat. Impressed for how much I spent!
😂 puts out more wattage in general compared to my factory amp only getting 15w to each speaker only thing i did was connect 2 12s to the stock amp till i can afford to install an amp .
I’m betting it’s using TI TPA 3055 chips and a 12V-40V DC to DC boost converter
Sub remote isn't that critical..
Most head units will have one built in. It's not like your doing db drags and hair tricks with this amp. Lol.
Id rather not be charged for it.
I really would like you to Dyno a Craig powerplay plus amplifier for me please, also the Optimus amplifier (RadioShack) they are old school
I bet the sound is terrible on a semi HiFi car stereo. I bought a cheap no name amp to stand in for an amp I was getting fixed and I remember everything sounded like I was using Bluetooth.
Maybe it's just me but I swear shipping from temo cost almost as much as what you're ordering
It does what they said it would do. It's a reasonable price. Why not use it in a car or a boat that's easy to break into. I just need enough to fill up a small 80s single cab mini truck with hard hitting metal.
I admit it I have a healthy amount of skepticism in Temu. This amp may not be bussin but it does play for the money you’re putting out on it. But it ain’t gonna bust any windshields.
Well... I can't say I'm not impressed, this would be good for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money and wants something less intrusive
i think a amp like this would be a great factory amp replacment with factory sub vehicles is most likely the idea behind the design
Wondering why you can't maintain 14.4volts under load like you usually do
The first 5 channel amp were the speaker channels get more power than the subwoofer side lmfao
This amp would work great for someone that just wanted a good sounding system for listening rather than trying to piss off the old people in the neighborhood.
