    Thanks to guys from BigDWiz, 5 Star, Soundman, CAF, SMD, EXO, High Voltage, and many more that inspired me to build my own system. The knowledge these guys out help me understand in depth what it takes to do and what to look for in quality products. I have now started to build a ported center console enclosure for a 15" on a 2009 F350 King Ranch Dually. It is these kind of people that help others so much that make me proud to have served my country! Gentleman I Salute you!!!

    The PSI amplifiers are what PPI should be today. Just change the heat sink color to white and add some art work to the case. That way all the old school would have some nostalgia and the new school would have something really different.

    Hey Big D. In highschool I took occupational courses for automotive electronics. As such, I learned how to properly install car audio equipment, build subwoofer boxes, and even install security systems. I recently bought my first car, a 2008 Crown Vic police interceptor. I need to replace the stereo as it is broken, and so I am planning to completely overhaul the audio system in one go. Winning either amplifier would mean that it would go to use fairly soon in my very first personal car audio build. Many thanks!

It does make it easy to decide which amp to buy , when all the good ones are pretty much alike, except for the name . Thanks for what you do . No more mystery, what's putting out what, when the dyno tells all . That's awesome.

Thank you for everything you’ve taught me and how much you’ve inspired me to continue with car audio.
    I was about to start a “low budget” build in my daily (2005 Dodge Ram 1500) with around 750watts but I might have to change up my plans a bit (; goodluck to everyone!! Thank you again, not only to you but everyone in the community. Keep it up. I’ll be uploading again soon.

    Question. I notice the lower the ohm level the higher the output in wattage. Problem is the amperage draw may surpass the output rating of even a high output aftermarket alternator. So let's say you strap the 5000k. So theoretically you would be drawing something in the neighborhood of 780 amperage draw from the alternator?

    Hey big D, Thanks for the cool content. I been a fan for years and would like to mention that your videos are actually very accessible for us blind or visually impaired fanatics. I use your videos when I need to know numbers since you verbally announce them. This makes a huge difference! Take care :)

    My 12 inch in the 6th order box I built would love one of those amps. Probably more so then the small dual amps im trying to power it with lol Digging your show a cool to see the realistic power of what amps do besides what they say they do

    Excellent video as always, cannot get enough of your videos or podcast. These truly are now my favorite Zenon amps. Beautiful design, love the clipping status on the amp alone not to mention on the bass knob. Thank you for doing these videos, I know this is new school but love diving back to the memories of the old school days.
