Dude with all the information you have gathered you should have a video where you rate all the amps so far and put them into categories
It’s in the plans. May hire a high school kid for some hours over the summer
BigDWiz ill do it
I agree, like how the torque test channel listed all review and dynos and prices showing best over all value. Let you download it for pdf
A qualidade de montagem da Banda é sempre uma excelência!
Achei engraçado eles manterem aquele ajuste que os modelos mais antigos tinham, onde você mudava a posição das placas para modificar o crossover.. eles mantiveram a porta embaixo com um botão on off.. quem não conhece a marca fica sem entender a lógica disso, quando na verdade eles só estão mantendo a cultura dos módulos Banda
Not bad. Banda definitely made a cool looking amp that matches it's performance. I like the plexi where the terminals are. Nice little detail from Banda.
Always good to see these amplifiers being tested 👍
Thanks for the review brother. The Brazilian amps always seem interesting.
Those Brazilian outdoor public venues we always see look insane. It'd be interesting to experience how that display feels.
Making da ground shake yo! That’s got to be an insane experience 😱
there was a couple of them at slamology last year might be there this year as well
Black eyed peas has that song with the line "off the richta" pretty much sums it up me thinks
Nice, finally a Banda on the channel and a new model at that! I have an ICE3501 and barevids (UK distributor) tells me that this is similar but with a few extra features.
I have the icex 3k1 can’t find a dyno for it tho I’d love to see
I use Banda in my car and recommend it. Good frequency response, good construction, good adjustments, it has the power it promises and it is beautiful. The disadvantage I see is that it is not as small as Soundigital.
Banda beautiful? Which model?? Not the beat version.
Which model do you have? I just ordered an Electra bass 8k
My boy bigdwiz did it again man thanks man for taking your time and going that extra mile to save us time and money.
Just doing it for my peeps 😬
Your marshmallow candies? Or ppl? lol :-P
If I even go brazilian I will go with Banda and Powerus. Nice share DWiz. Peace and Bass!
Thanks for watching and commenting! 👌
No problem bro. Ive been Sub'd to the channel for a while now. Always hit the like tab. Keep up the great work when I want to see amps properly tested and real input. I come here or wait for amp test tuesdays haha.
Why banda?? Are they Better than soundigital for vocal??
*You are the best, congrats on you vídeos*
Brazil sendo hell 👍
👌😬👍
I ran the Viking series, version 1 amps about 6 years ago. Loved them things. Had a pair of 5k's on two 18's I built using Treo CSX motors, in a 6th order. I never had problems with the amplifiers, at all. Tried the v2 amps, and they were notorious for having weak solder points. Was a shame, lol...so back in the v1's went. I still enjoy Banda products.
Bummer!
Thinking of getting back into the life. I used to have a Soundigital 8K powering 2 DD 18s. That was around the time Brazilian Amps were just coming over. No one wanted to believe the power they were putting out because of the small wire inputs. I didn’t push it hard, but that 8K never got hot.
Another great video Big D! I have to say that I find all these Brazilian amps somewhat interesting, but I still can't see the appeal of these over more traditional designs that we're used to. With that said, I think I like the overall design of this one the best of any that you have tested up to this point. I kind of like how they incorporated the cooling fans into the corners of the heatsink. Pretty nice design all around. Keep 'em coming, Big D!!! Great job!
The biggest appeal is the size. They are not cheaper until you get to the 5k or larger amps
Another great and informative video @BigDWiz
Thanks brother!
I need this amp in my life 😁👍🏻
Well there ya go 👌
That's mean you need my address so you can send me this amp 😁😂👍🏻
A marca Banda aqui no Brasil se empre representou potência e qualidade..
Holy shit. That shock wave moving the grass at the end was awesome.
You know that must be INSANE in person!!
I like how you make conclusion.... @the end every body need to know.... Whats good & bad..... Awesome...
Thanks for watching and commenting! 👌
Another great Brazilian amp. Thanks for the vid.
I failed to mention the fans never came on during the tests. Good sign the heatsink was doing its job
BigDWiz yep I think they have smart fans they only come on when it's hot. But my taramps hd2500 amp fan comes on as soon as the amp turns on
Unlike MC Hammer you Sir Big D Wiz are to legit to quit. As always
unbias, very subjective, clear, concise testing. Thank you.

I got you Big D😎
BigDWiz is that a seiko monster on your wrist ? If so how do u like it
Brazilian amps are not on my top list Big D. Thanks for the testing :-). After seeing their demonstration wall of speakers, I wonder if they taken their technology from the US Military and the HARP program. LOL
😂
Tammy Forbes yeah if you look the the power supply transformers weren't glued to the board just floating. It was heavy gauge wires but they should protect it from vibration.
Im from Brazil, and Soundigital, Banda and Audiophonic is our best car amplifiers blend. If you like this Model, i can send you for less price direct from Brazil!
HARP!! LoL
@@ulisseshonor4784 how we now you not going to still money
Banda . This amplifier is the best in Brazil .😎. I have an 8000w and it plays a lot. 🔊🤤
👌😬👍
are they good for midrange speakers?
@@yan5362 It will play well too, depending on the power of your speakers.
the ideal would be for you to research the available models of the Banda line checking the powers of the modules to see which would be best in your system
@@andersonbrene9497 the banda beat 800.4 is available at a good price here in mauritius. Need to power 4 deaf bonce midrange speakers of 180 watt rms each
Here are some facts about that sound truck "Carreta Treme Treme":
- 264 x 15" 3,750 W woofers;
- 112 x mid/high drivers;
- 45 x Soundigital amps, giving more than 3 million watts RMS;
- 30,000 amps in batteries;
- 3 tons of cables. 10 km of wiring.
[www.carretatremetreme.com.br/a-carreta]
The picture of the truck that appears down on this page is the old version.
They upgraded the sound system in 2017.
Thank you for providing the information and link 👍
Well great...Page cannot be found
Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🇹🇹 watching
In the words of Ice cube, damn that sh*t is bumping. Shaking the dirt on the ground
No doubt!!
1.When i see a new BigDwiz release,I drop whatever im doing and put that sucker on.
2.Before I ever click play.I click "like"...youd think that would just be my default practice,but in reality,I dont click like for anyone else..BigD is the best!
3.Never trust a brand of amplifier who doesnt take the time to properly transcribe their manual/instruction leaflet.
4.Im already out of steam
5. refer to 1 & 2
Thanks brother!
BigDWiz what exactly does the bass boost knob do? would the amp produce more wattage if the bass boost was turned up maybe the manufacturer uses the bass boost to get the RMS rating?
Amplificadores Brasileiros são os melhores, banda áudio parts/soundigital/Taramps bass 😍, tops de linha para sub grave ! 🇧🇷
Vai me desculpar mas com 60% de eficiência ... tem muito chão pela frente, não sei as linhas novas mas essa eficiência de 60% é um lixo.. até parece um amplificador classe AB kkkkk
Very interesting Big D. Another great video!
Loved the footage at the end of all the subs pounding. Thank you brother.
How about some home audio stuff huh? Vintage if possible please.
I’d love to test more home audio, but way too much car stuff lined up right now...maybe in the future
BigDWiz A likely story. Lol
Thanks man. Keep up the good work. 🙂
All I can think of when I hear Brazil is Sepultura/Soulfly. Not a bad thing!
👌😬👍
Very thorough review with a field trip - Thanks
That ground shaking bass was impressive, yes??
The best amplifier in the Brazilian market together with sondigital
Hey Big D, another great video! Are you going to do a sound quality comparison video between the Banda, the Soundigital and the Taramps? I look foward for it!
SQ is subjective, not sure I can notice a difference between the Brazilians. That said, I do notice a difference with the Brazilian full bridge and the traditional Korean/Chinese half bridge designs. To my ears the bass is fuller, deeper and more controlled with the traditional amps
BigDWiz thanks for the feedback 👍
Excellent test sir
👌😬👍
I love your black Seiko Monster. I rock the orange version myself.
Yeah boi!
Damn Brazil has the hottest chicks , and some of the best amps!!!!
Amps sure are hot, the rest is highly subjective.
I thought only Americans and Asians make Amps 😁
@@stevekim6232Brazil has an old amp industry,but just now send it to worldwide.
My word, those unfortunate people fleeing in terror
Video was entertaining, as always!
Those vids are hilarious to me. At first they are all like “bring it on!” Then a few seconds later like “get me outta here!!”
carreta treme treme is a beast!
BigDWiz hahaha, stay out of drugs kids!
Social distancing ftw. I have to build me one of them walls.
It’s definitely a cool looking amp
I'll pass on the Banda, but great video! I appreciate the extra info, pros and cons, and your opinion. Keep it up!
I appreciate the feedback
BigDWiz Your videos have helped me a ton since I got back into car audio after a 20 year break, so big thanks for that! Now I own a Xtr 2500.1 because it was a beast on your bench. Never paid so little for so many watts!
This amplifier is a 2016 prototype of the band
Disappointed it didn't make power certified, but it is what it is. Maybe the 3K's are a little underbuilt compared to something like the 7k. The 7k makes every bit of 9k at 14.4v.
😮🤙
"I'm not yo momma, and this ain't bed time" lmao !
thank uuuu thank u, u jst saved me from blowing $250 on this amp, u da man big D
I guess 4000w for $200 just isn't enough anymore 🤣
Daqui uns dias pode até testar os amplificadores do Carlos mergulhão e Luís Coelho 😄
I have a Banda 2000/4 it’s a beast
Very powerful especially for its size... Power hungry but still efficient
That 4ohm efficiency!!! So nice :) Would have liked to see a 10hz test on it (with the switch on/off) :)
As large as the heatsink is, it’s a bit unusual you have to access a crossover switch in the bottom 🤷♂️
I believe that semi with all those speakers and amps, in the clip, burned down to the ground.
That massive sound at the end of the video was amazing yeah!
Imagine in person!!
Come on BigD. Throw some Stetsom amps on the channel. Their best selling amp is the EX3000eq buit have many amps from 160w to 30k. I have 3 of their amps and would love to see some certified numbers
I tried one, so did Ryan Blankenship. We both saw smoke 💨, would not complete the test and I only got 1700’ish watts out of a 3kW amp
BigDWiz thats odd. Ive ran the 3k on 2 18s at 0.7 ohm for 7 months and never even had a heat issue.
My 7k2e has been flogged daily for 5 years w/o ever getting more than luke warm. I've even taken it out of the car (thus connected and disconnected it) hundreds of times. I even run it all the way down to protect mode at 9.2V because I don't have proper battery support. I've dropped it that low millions of times wired .7 rising .3 to a perfect 1ohm. I power cycle and go right back to 10V hits nonstop, for as long as I like. I'm so spoiled now, I won't even entertain the idea of buying any other brand amp.
Setup is 2 soloX18s in 26.5 cubes tuned to 36Hz.
STAY WHITE hell yeah man i wanna see that shit. I just upped to the EX8000eq and gonna order 2 PSI pf4 18s soon. Box is 41 ft^3 6th order blowthrough
Also the bridge mode, please!! @BigDWiz
You know id really like to see you test an old-school cadence acoustics amplifier
I think I tested one but didn’t make a vid. Or was it the one that popped? Yeah that may have been it
BigDWiz I'm just curriois if they make they're power ive been a cadence fan since I was young my dad had 2 tx series 12s on a 4k
A bed time story about the cheater amp that could, would be nice BIG D ,I enjoy all your videos, nice work man !
Sounds like a great children’s book. Let me get to writing 😜
Brazilian Amps rules on the street.
You need to dyno a Hifonics XXV-Maxximus from back in 2005 era. 10kW rms apparently.
Id love to see any of the XX or XXV class amps from hifoncis back then!!
Damn.. The Brazilians are killin the SPL ...
The ground was shaking Hot damn.
👌😝👍
The clip of the crowd running away from the trailer while they're all dressed the same cracks me up every time I see it. Did you use your torx bit to cover up the serial number on the board? Pleeze tell me you didn't drop it into that high voltage amp by accident!!! Thanks for another great vid big D
I love that clip too. “get me outta here!” Yeah I just covered the serial number in a few pics 😊
Epcos? Wow! Those are very high quality (same compnay as TDK) Japanese caps. Like same situation as Rubycon and Nichicon... they are the real deal. I see your efficiency numbers are a bit lower than they should be since the amps will spike up in current when clipping and that is where you took your amperage measurements on your clamp... I would say efficiency is more like 75-80% rather than 65-70% - Either way, great test, great observations on the quality of the heatsink.. You know I think these may be better than Soundigital... they sure are cheaper!!! I always considered Soundigital the gold standard for Brazilians... obviously Taramps is pretty cheap.. (although not terrible compared to some Chinese clones) but the Soundigital is decent (albeit soundigital is WAY overpriced) - I think I might pick up one of these Bandas to try out... - Like for real, companies that are crappy dont (usually) spend money on quality Japanese components.. My trust for them has gone way up seeing those Epcos caps.
Big D I would like to know if the full range Banda amp sound clean? Please test one of them.
How this things make 3kw with nothing in it if you compare a sundown amp have lot more things in and same result
Looks better built than the sound- taramps getup. Somehow it just feels safer getting crazy power from a lil bit bigger amp too
I agree 100%
makes the test of the Brazilian subwoofer the FB audio, to show a little of our hair trick culture
500amps for 3k !!! That's nuts
Not bad for an affordable Brazilian amplifier.
My friend has the 5k one on two 15 sound good
Big D!!! Have you ever dyno’d a Powered Sub? In particular the P300-12 from Rockford Fozgate....would like to know your thoughts and see some results. Love your vids!!! Keep up the excellent work👍🏻👍🏻
Imma click da BigD link and get me some more fancy screwdrivers!
Yeah boi!!
Would love to see a Memphis amp on the dyno!!! Not much footage on Memphis amps that you can look up on RUclips
Thanks for the video big D
👌😬👍
I love all your videos man! Blessings
Heyy Williston,
I truly love your videos they are very educational and interesting!!!🙂
Can you review the Banda Elite 4000.4
Im looking forward to buying these amp
So I curious as too the power rating and your overall opinion of the amp🙏
Would really appreciate it if you look into it .....
Thanks once again sir....🙃
I’ve been hearing that if you go with Brazilian amps that the Banda is the way to go. It has a better board layout. The Tarramps and sound digital just can’t dissipate the heat. The Korean amps just have a cleaner sound and better reliability.
So, should i go with banda or pioneer??
The Electra 12k looks like its sized rite. Looks like the same case as the 8k8. Got one on the way, fingers crossed it turns out to be good.
How did you like it? I just got the 12k and mine is freaking loud! Blew my fuses and got 2 more. Haven't seen the clip light yet sooooo.....
@@michaelnewkirk578 I actually ended up getting the 12k .5 ohm. I ordered the 8 then a week later got an email saying there out of stock. I'm running it at 1 ohm on 2 rs platinum 18s and they slam. Getting ready to get 2 more 18s to run 4 at .5.
@@timjd7964 yes I have the 12k one ohm model running it on some FI Team V1 15s, and they slam! Had it for almost a week now but blew the 300 amp fuses so I had to buy some more. So far so good 👍
@@timjd7964 got it all in a Scion tc.....I know things are going to break 😱😅
@@michaelnewkirk578 hell ya that's part of the fun
Great video Big D!!!
👌😬👍
Nice looking amp
nice crisp vid!
Thanks my brother beats 🤙
In one of your videos you mention the bass from these Brazillians is "different" in what way?
I swapped my Sundown SCV 7500 for 2 Banda 8K, yes the 2 Bandas was quite a bit louder but sounded different, less aggressive than the SCV 7500. I wound up selling the 2 Bandas and a loss and waiting for a Wolfram 7.5K to arive.......So disappointed in the Brazillian on bass.
4ga for a 3k amp? Silly Brazilians
Running the amp for mids/highs would not put such a strain on it, but yeah being used as bass amps...they need bigger inputs! I provided this feedback to the Banda distributor
A Omar that's probably one reason why Brazilian amps are notorious for catching fire.
Brazilian amps are built like that because they are meant to be very close to the battery bank. In Brazil they don’t run HO alternators often. Just big battery banks. A 1’ run of 4 gauge can take quite a bit of amperage. All 10 of my Taramps were ran with very short power and grounds to my battery bank.
Nice input, comment liked
4 gauge is alright for ONLY very short runs. (I commented before noticing popwarhomie's comment).
Good evening, I'm Brazilian, I really liked the test, these electra are very bad, I would even like to see you do a test of some ICE band that are very famous here, until
I do not believe there is much difference between this Electra and the ICE series?
It seems incredible that ice is much better than electra.
Can we get an update on the banda amps?
Was thinking about the 8k Banda but only after I seen if you had a video on it.. I won’t buy an amp unless you have a dyno video now!!!
BRA-SIL (in my best street fighter 2 voice) seems like a nice enough amp, but what’s up with the manual and website being different? Dats no bueno!
Honestly? I think the numbers in the manual were obtained at a higher frequency...not a “bass” one 😝
BigDWiz you’re probably correct!
BigDWiz or maybe it was burst
Man I wish to fit that sticker on my Mercedes window so bad! We don't have this quality brand in EUrope.
The one person that disliked this vid thinks his two Pioneer subs in his Durango could compete with Alma Gates.
It’s all good. Gotta take the occasional hate with all da love 😊
It doesn’t go into protection and all the amps turn on fine I had tested everything before putting it into the car with one battery and a booster the bass played for a while with no problems but it doesn’t wanna play in the car all the other amps are getting sound out
Swich is 33000 Hz or 33500 Hz power suplly. For Mw radio freqans.
Can we please get a dyno of the soundqubed 4500.1? There aren't any videos on RUclips of this amp on the dyno.
That’s a pricey one brother. Stay tuned for an upcoming shootout of 3-3.5k Korean amps. It’s gonna be a shocker to some 😱
BigDWiz I'll work with it.. But I'm still looking for the soundqubed video.. Eventually someone will be just as curious as I am to see if those $734 are a must or bust!! 😂 😂 😂
BigDWiz Oh hell yeah. Looking forward to that one!
Shaun Jay we got 4300 rms clamped consistently inside and outside the lanes on a SQ 4500, wired to 0.5, rising to 0.9 at 12.2v. This particular vehicle was running a northstar agm34 under the hood, a 300 amp GP alt, and a single northstar smsagm80 (the 35lb northstar) as the entire rear battery bank accompanied with sufficient wiring. This vehicle consistently busted out of the 4k rms class in many runs until things were aligned and dialed back properly. Unless any parts qualities have changed since they first came out, this is what you should expect.
The new Soundqubed S line is a lot more reasonable. The 1250 amp is only 179. The 2250 has already been dyno'd.
Finishing amp rack for two Banda beat 3k one red one green. When I had just the one hooked up it was okay I just wish they made more aftermarket alternators for my do you have any suggestion on anyone that makes or takes old alternators and makes them bigger anywhere close to Texas?
Oh damn I just saw those transformers don't have any silicon under them. Might be a good idea to gob them up if you buy one of these
still waiting for some stetsom amp to go through taht test :)
I second that, I have the ex 3000 eq and I would like to see real rated power aswell
@@RomaVilla Stetsom is one of the worst amplifiers brand that we have here in Brazil. SounDigital, Banda and the JBL BR-A line are the best ones
@@L-2K I guess its all about how you set it up cause ive had mine for over 6 months now and its pushing my 15 zvx no sweat all day long. I have a sfb2k brand new and I get better sound and lower notes with the stetsom vs the sfb2k. Also I got the stetsom and sfb for free so either way I cant complain. Clip light on both amps aswell so that helps with the clean signal. To each their own....💯 but I agree with you 100%. So many better amps to choose from I just have to unload both of my amps and then invest in an sk3500 as soon as I get the fynds.
Two 12” 1500 Rms each one. Stetsom ex3000eq, Soundigital 3000.1 Evo 4.0, Banda Ice X or Banda Electra Bass 3K1? Let me know Guys..
Hey BigDwiz my favorite Brazilian amp is the taramps are they reliable for long term use? Am excited about quality sound system in my rides, your test on amp has help greatly.....
That is the question...who has the answer 🤷♂️
Ok what is your amp of choice, i always used rockford fosgate for my set up never fail me once you know your stuff, just want to try something different with quality......... mmats but price high
Why you didn't put a Y Split rca so you could've used the left and right side for input?
Great vid dude. Ive heard alot of mixed opinions on these. Over on Barevids channel, you'll see him repair at least 2 of these per week lol!
These can’t take as much punishment as the Korean amps..as Sam (Barevids) says, they are run at their absolute limits as far as components go
It’s the more powerful 7000W and upwards Bandas that suffer from the bad factory fitted FETs. Sam told me on his very first live chat that he doesn’t know of any Banda ICE series failures, at least not the 3500 which I have.
Great Test Mr D. How about temperature reading?
Cool as big D with sunglasses 😎. Fans never came on during Dyno or speaker testing. Other Brazilian amps I’ve tested (SD and Taramps) fan’s come on after first Dyno test
have you ever thought about doing tests on subs ?
Yes and may start testing subs in the future. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙
BigDWiz That's awesome. I'd love to see you test some subs and give an option. It would be an excellent way to expand your content
That thing comes with a really big steal me sticker. Jackers could prolly see that from a half mile lol
Where’s the in car test you mentioned in the other video?
Big D do this amp runs hot
It has active fans to help keep it cool
7:48 So what'd the difference between "1% mode" and "Clipping" mode? Clipping is a form of the general term distortion. So if we're talking 1% total harmonic distortion and we're using sine waves, how is that different from clipping? Me thinks a term is being used improperly here?
Amp Dyno distinguished tests between the two. The certified test stops measuring at 1% THD. Whereas the uncertified continues to the point of clipping and continues the test to see if any more RMS Power can be obtained at this point of clipping. With many amps there can be a significant difference in the results (4-7%), but most show 1% or less difference between the two tests
