Which subs you think to go with 2 10 g2 dynamics genesys or 2 x10v3 sundowns
🤔
Please build a tiny vented or ported box for those 1.5" subs. After that's completed take it to the next audio competition and demand they score your setup to scale!
why do you call an RC speaker a sub ? u take us for dumbfucks bro ?
Brah... get those subs in a BOX!
I want to see the tiny subs in a box!!! Do it bump doe?!?! BOX THEM UP!!!
Tiny amp, tiny sub, giant bandpass box.
In a push-pull.
With a passive radiator.
In individual solid pvc tube t-lines.
With no flange on the frame how do you even mount those tiny speakers? Glue? There's nowhere for screws. But yeah an enclosure makes a bigger difference than you'd think with speakers. Any enclosure. Heck even just a board. The problem is the sound waves off the back of the cone cancel out the front ones. It's weird. You need to separate the front of the speaker from the back somehow.
@@1pcfred They're press-fit. The hole needs to be precision cut then you glue them in.
@@bozanimal5576 gluing speakers in is a somewhat crappy method especially in a DIY application. I'm more than capable of cutting precision holes with the tools I have. Generally I just use a router and a custom made circle cutting jig. I know how to do all of that. How to do the calculations so it works out. Although today I do happen to have a CNC machine too. It's repeatable to within a thousandth of an inch. Still, I view having to glue speakers in as lousy. What do I do if I ever want to take the speaker out? Hammer and chisel? Yeah I don't think so.
Big D, I've got the inside scoop on that amp and subs. They were developed in collaboration with the Geico Gecko. He's branching out into car audio. 15 minutes could give you 10 watts or more.
😆😅🤣
hahaha
Nice. lol
Haaa😂
Does he insure it if it burns to the ground? Lol
I'd be impressed if the tiny subs were in a boxed enclosure with a bandpass port.
My Harmon Kardon bluetooth (Onyx studio 4) speaker has two 3" subs and 15 watts per channel and it does thump.
get 25 of those long throw bad boys and slap 'em together on a box
Nobody's tryna impress you bro
what if instead u made them into open back headphones, that'd be nuts but also mad fun to listen to
I used to do this with head phone speakers in my model cars as well as "hydraulics" too back in the late 90s🤣
A big horn enclosure as it's more even in its boost than a bandpass.
This would be amazing in a kid's power wheels. The Bluey soundtrack would be perfect for this.
I replaced my Toyota Tacoma's original speakers with more powerful ones and used this tiny amp to power the rear speakers. The Amp installation was a piece of cake.
Now I have a much better sound in my truck to enjoy. So far, so good!
Looks like it was fun making this video with those mini subs. Definitely made me smile watching the mini subs bump and flex.
I've love if you could 3D print a sub box for those mini-subs to really give them a proper demo.
The fact that you can get 90 Watts out of something this small when 20 years ago the thing would have been The weight of an Escobar shipment is ludicrous. 😎
Yup, the magic of class D digital amps and neodymium speaker magnets 👌
SCIENCE!
Escobar shipment. Lol, love it
Except for the fact that this actually will NOT give you anything glose to 90 real watts...
There is a difference between messuring weak watts and real watts with actual current/amps behind them. I have seen many 50-100w amps eat 200-300 wannabe watt amps for lunch.
It's basicly the same as with horsepower and newtons on a engine... 100 HP with i.e just 10 NM would be pretty worthless...
Here in brazil, we use it to power the compression drivers. The guys here use woofers to play from 30hz to 1000hz and compression drivers with exponential horns for the rest.
Since they have an insanely high sensitivity with only 40w, you can get 110db at 6m.
And yeah, they only do it to be loud.
They have 0 sound stage, 0 imaging, and the dsp isn't even calibrated. They just look up a generic video on youtube on how to set it up, just to protect the compression drivers😂.
This is cool. Thanks for commenting
BTW…. We need people like you running across the border… not shitbags!!!!
Nice! um BR! Thanks for sharing
Excellent test D, I remember a similar amp to this shown to me by a distributor in the 90's,
It was TINY!
It was supposed to be used at each door, effectively giving multi channel, passively split amplification. I always thought they were cool.
This amp with simple wiring and auto turn on would work really well biamping a mid and high through a bi ampable crossover..
Imagine having 4 of these, one on each corner.
It would sound great!
Wasll are
This really reminds me of my first stereo system ever. It was in my first car, a 1990 Ford Festiva with a Sony Xplod tape deck, a Blaupunkt 12" in a truck box, with a bass booster. It hit OK for not being powered well, but it didn't slam until I bought a Sony four channel amp with a sub channel and MB Quart split sets.
Nosso valente amplificador brasileiro. Taramps figurando bem no mercado mundial.
Fun project idea. 10 of those mini subs in an enclosure!
should make a tuned box for those little subs hehe, make em slap!
I've got those mini subs in an RC Vietnam Swifty boat and that amp looks perfect for what I need to boost the volume from the mobile phone I use for the mp3 files 👍cheers
This perfect for adding bass to my motorcycle helmet audio system!
Those mini subs are awesome! I wanna hear them in a box!
Should have a 3.5mm high-level input…
It makes as much power as a head unit, so it should be ready to use with other portable audio sources.
The only problem is it has now low-level input.
These are really noisy amps if they aren't filtered correctly. You really need a good charger that doesn't introduce charging noise. I have a few of these TPA based chips in various amplifier boards, that I used to build a distributed audio system for my house. I use a head unit to power the 4 speakers in the dining room ceiling, a cheap class d based mono block to power a 12" older sony xplod sub and the tpa amps power the bathroom speakers and porch speakers. The cheap 20 dollar walmart head unit has good enough filtering but the TPA amps don't and they have terrible hiss and "data" noise in them. It's ok when you're cranking on them but they won't be silent with nothing playing.
there is only network of resistors and capacitors to adapt speaker high level input before attacking the TPA's balanced inputs (i suppose the LM393 is there for the signal detection for the power on; not for input stage of the TPA's).
So for a 3.5mm input, this is absolutely possible and easy to add low level/highZ input, just picking up the inputs on the correct place. Also keep in mind that the frequency response is limited by the input network filter, because TPA's can indeed go as low as 20hz
@@ats9682 if you have hiss and that "data noise" thing, it is probably related to decoupling and grounding, on the pcb side.
Also, if there is more than one TPA chip on the same system, it's highly recomended to sync their PWM (pin16, SYNC pin)
I brought something similar from wish. I was about twice the size and claimed to be 500w. It would be nice to have a tester to see what it really is. Its It's probably the same, but sold as a 500w because it has 500 in the name. Great video. Very informative.
Awesome content BigD!
good vid, love the mini amps
Now that is my dream truck! the truck bed full of speaker. lol
I have something like this being powered by a milwaukee m18 battery on tool cart. Sounds stunning.
haha love it! I used a little 1" sub from an old Dell laptop with a diy bluetooth amp board and put it in a 1:18 scale Supra that had a fake audio setup in the back. Coolest bluetooth speaker ever! 😄
I usually watch these on my home theater system so I can see what they sound like when they. This one I watched on my phone. I felt it was fitting.
I've been looking at this amp for years
Love this channel
That would be perfect to wake up a bluetooth speaker with a buck converter power supply addition. Thanks for sharing this little gem. ✌️✌️💯💯
dude best commit right here put it in a rc truck
pure conteint right there
Wanted to see that quad box flex on that beast!😮💨
Be a great headphone amp powered by any cordless tool brand battery in a backpack or fanny pack. Solder up the ¼" or 3.5mm jacks and you're golden. Great test D.
Is this the future hobby? Build RC cars with micro systems that bump?
*Will IASCA start a new class for them?*
Pull up to the lane with it😂 hilarious
The dayton audio boards are legit, i Built my daughter a homemade portable speaker out of an old cherry wood cigar box and put two 2.5 inch dayton audio speakers and a passive rad and that damn thing is loud.
I have one of those those AMPs lol. I got one to mess around with.
It actually powered an 8" sub and also an older 200 watt 10" sub perfectly fine.
But the low pass filter was at like 50hz or something like that.
It'll power small speakers well :D
Back in the day would use for center channel setup.
The sub flex is crazy .. you forget off and on that they are 1.5 inch.. lol Great vid
lol, love the "We track serial numbers" on the Amazon page.
In Brazil, they use a small amplifiers to make handmade Bluetooth speaker boxes.
Taramps is a brand from Brazil. My country. Here the car audio culture is something very very big. Lots of good quality equipment. And they are references worldwide
I have seen this amp and other similar tiny amps used on big cruiser motorcycles, boats, four-wheelers, side by sides and other off-road or similar vehicles.
Seeing something like this just 20 years ago would have blown my mind and I would have called BS on it lol.
Impressive how much more efficient class D amps are.
You're awesome Big D!
Put that inside a small boombox from the 80s/ 90s, upgrade the speakers appropriately, and suddenly that lil boombox is thumping like a JVC M90 or Conion C100 at full blast.
I had a little Sony CFS210 when I was growing up and that would be *perfect* for surprising people if modded in such a way.
I ran a taramps ds160.2 on my motorcycle for quite some time
Recently went to a Stetsom Iron Line 400.1
Nice it would make a good amp for a portable stereo with speakers you can put in your pockets.
these are absurdly practical for seeming like a novelty product
We use in the 2000 and up small amps like that for mopeds and some speakers.beuld in a hardtop top koffer on the back .
Speakers are shelf one.
Easy to make and use
These would be good with passives. I built a tube out of 2" pvc pipe I had laying around, Peerless by Tymphany 2 1/2" long throw line array drivers, with 2 1/2" dayton passives. I bought a DSP based TP3116d2 amp board by dayton and programmed the DSP with enhanced bass response with volume compensation so the louder you turn it up, the less bass it puts out. You have to hear this thing to believe it. It can hit lows so low that you'd think there was a subwoofer attached. I can hear all of the subwoofer tests you have on here with 2 1/2" drivers. I don't think you can find the drivers anymore. They have double magnets on them and hold like 30 watts. They are louder than the JBL flip tubes and other blue tooth speakers you can find at a store and sound clearer with tweaking the DSP and don't need tweeters being so small. Crazy little subwoofers though.
I think the high frequencies sounded pretty damn good on the Elacs
Never disappoint
I can’t wait to see you test out those mini subs from DOHM AUDIO. Make a tiny box wanna hear them bump 😂
Thanks for a good laugh! Those little subs from Brazil look sick
you could make a little home made boom box with this, thats pretty cool
I would like a SPL meter on those mini Subs!
Very cool 👍🏻
I have a couple of tpa3118 mono boards. (24V5A) powering my aiwa shelf boxes 8" subwoofer, Twitter and super Twitter each.
So powerful.
SmartTV no need my Yamaha amplifier.
Most head units do this power but if your car is newer and has a stupid infotainment system then this works great because you can get two and wire it into the speaker wires and run better speakers without using , my favorite, audio control component or buying a 2,000 dollar stinger head unit that may or may not work with the lin system in some cars.
I bet a couple of these would do good in my stock chevy sonic. They've gotta push more power than my oem head unit.
Big D, your looking good bro!
A lot of installers use these to supply more power to door speakers without the whole amp in the back. You can hide them within the door.
Aaaahahahahahaha, your level of sarcasm of the last reading completely broke me 🤣🤣🤣
lol those little subs are the cutest things ever
You need to make a box for those little subs they would sound amazing
Pretty cool if you ever get up with the guy with the mini subwoofers, make a video of them and how to get your hands on them. Thanks man.
Some big flexing on those little subs there Big D lol.
hey i'm henrique from brazil.
the porpouse of this amp is for hook in those chinese heads with like 1 or 2 watts,
so door speakers sound good.
I was eyeing one of those little amps for my dash tweeters but heard mixed things on their high en performance so went another direction.
Perfect for a custom soundsystem in a 1:10th scale rc crawler
U GOTTA GET THOSE BADASS LIL SUBS FROM ARGENTINA!!!! YOUD PROLLY GET MILLIONS OF VIEWS MAKING A VIDEO ON EM CUZ YOUR CHANNEL IS THE SHIZNIT AND THOSE SUBS ARE ONE OF A KIND.
I can’t seem to get up with the dude
@@wal thats unfortunate...youll come up with amazing content regardless. I love your take on audio. Best on youtube fo sho!
Aaaww, ain't that just the cutest little thingy 😂😂
I vote that a little sub box be built for the mini subs lol, that would be awesome 😅
Micro subs! That is freakin cool!😂
This would be sick for RC Modelers! 4S batteries would be a touch over 16 volts would love to see some RC cars with walls in them!
I actually started my company MOB Audio just to serve the RC hobby.
Link!?
Possible use case would be to convert a passive bookshelf into an active desktop speaker. It's form factor seems ideal for that.
The purpose of this is easy, side by sides and motorcycles. I have an MTX "stereo" that fits in a rocker switch spot, this and a couple of 2ohm 5.25 speaker pods would be a good enough stereo for it...
If you mounted the tiny subs in a Pringles can facing each other, would they cancel each other out?
Lots of people are getting into building custom bluetooth speaker systems. This would be perfect for one of those.
This definitely is meant for a Tri-amp system powering tweeters.
What happenes if you feed it 40hz? Is it input filtered so nothing happens or does it chooch?
😆 That was awesome!
Wonder if you could wire up a 1/4" jack input to it and use it as a small portable bass guitar amp?
I love how we all put out playful videos this week.
I've seen those little amplifiers used on new cars. They power those deadhead factory stereos. I usually find them under seats
I know that RUclips compresses the audio in the videos, but based on previous videos you've made that amplifier seems to break up the highs a little bit and mid bass is really strong. Other than that, who can complain about a solid 80 Watts for $35?
I’ve got this amp in my garage on a skar 8” wired to 1ohm and it actually bumps harder than expected.
Need to make a mini 4th order box for those mini subs
Do you think that it would work if you wire rca's to the high level inputs??
Cool amp although I do wish it had Bluetooth, anyways i think i know the perfect use for these, that being a boombox, i have one that allegedly runs at 50W and i would love to bump it up with one (or maybe two) of these suckers, its a pretty small boombox (store bought) so size matters more, simple wiring + easy power = more fun listening and less time building, now to find some better speakers for it
Can it be bridged to mono? And can it take 24v in? Awesome video!
Need to make a box for the mini subs!!!
😂the mini truck Nice 🙂.... U rolling harder than most folks these days 😂
Be awesome for a scale model car audio build with those little subs.
Now I want to do a power wheels build
class D switching amplifiers are very efficient and used in most of new devices from phones and smartwatches to bluetooth speakers, the 200w rms amplifier in my AIWA Exos 9 bluetooth speaker from 2015 contains two class D chips the size of a dime without any heatsinks on them - each having 100w rms when bridged or 50w rms in stereo mode, one of the class D chips is used to drive each channel 3'' mid's and 1'' high's while second class D chip is driving dual coil 6.5'' subwoofer in a 7kilo boombox sized package on a battery power for 6 hours max volume and 10 hours with high capacity battery, I'm sure JBL came out with something better these days since Aiwa is from 2015
What is the 2nd song you played on the bookshelf speakers?
This might be good to add an external amp and speaker to my ham radio in my vehicle.
Honestly.
Kinda was rocking those Elacs just a bit
These would save so much time to just toss inside door panels really quickly😂. Real talk tho looking at the progression of car audio tech I can't wait til 2050 and be able to fit a jp77 in each door panel and a jp83000 on a single 12 with 4000% efficiency 🤙🔥
Those work great for bikes.
This little amp you showed is pretty neat though, I'm wondering if it would work on my motorcycle? Hmmm 🤔
