I don't particularly care for class D amps for mids and highs, but that amp sounded really good on your Elacs!! Tony really outdid himself with the E series. I'm dying to hear his T series amps. Hope he can send you one for testing when they become available. Great video BigD!! 👌
I agree with you there.Sometimes I’ve seen in the different Facebook audio groups that someone asks a legitimate question and they some smart ass comment that leads to nothing but and argument.Something like sound can be personally linked to the listener .
Many months in, (edit- i was a first run buyer, on the 3 boards) with my E400.4, 350.2, and E1000.1. I have not got to the E1000.1, as of yet (low end is coming) but, i adore these boards. Zero issues, run cool, for hours. Build quality is top tier, sound quality is "to each their own", but for me, they are amazing. I will be getting more soon.
Exactly, the only company ive seen do that is rf, with the exception of their cheapest. Shit, mid level and up, they use good stuff, if id buy this Amp, id recap it...
Nice Amp! I went to high school with Tony D'Amore; we were in Auto Shop together. He's sincerely a great guy and I'm glad to see him doing so well! I'm looking forward to buying some of his products. I do remember Tony beating me in a drag race in his 1975ish? Camaro/Firebird back in Tucson! I can't remember exactly which car it was:)
@@d77543020 sorry. Lol. It's fantastic! Super clean on my Pioneer A class components. I'd get a couple 1000.1's for my 4 10's but they jacked the prices up and I'm leaning more towards D4S now
and I bought the Rockville db45 4 channel amp and wasn't expecting such a gigantic amp when I got it in the mail. Now I don't know where the hell I'm going to mount it, lol
This would be perfect for my truck. Small, good power for the infinity speakers in my doors, and a bridgeable 3/4 for a little bit of that .1 channel action tucked away. I've been looking at 4ch setups just for that reason, since those door speakers are lacking punch at only the 22w put out by my little head unit. My other car has the same speakers in the doors but that HU puts out double the power of the other one and you _absolutely_ notice the difference between them. Cooooooool.
D”Amore the exclusive Jordans of the amp world!! Can never get these amps always sold out or not in stock and or either atleast 1k for entry level either way .. I’m still a hypebeast for one and one day I will own one 😂

Hey Big D I know this ampifier is more efficient and better built but for the price and also the fact that they look so much alike in ways why wouldn't i just purchase the dual xpr84D or the jensen xba94rb for just under a 100 bucks and get the same wattage out put.
Good amounts of power can be had so cheaply these days. And in small footprint. In 1989, $179 wouldn't buy you a RF Punch 45. Amazing. And here I thought "Clean D" was gonna be a reference to Dereck after his regular Sat. night bath! 😝😝😝
Pioneer and Kenwood have digital d amp with 4x100 4ohm 4x45watt RMS . Cost about 99 euro . Only need 15amp and have crossfilters and can be bridge . My self have a Kenwood model easy to hide in the car .
@@wal Thanks. Reason I thake the Kenwood and not the pioneer. Crossfilter high is fix on 80hz on the pioneer (high filter 80hz and up)( low filter 80hz fix for the woofer ) . Well de crossfilter on the Kenwood you can turn what you need. Personal i use are 4x 10cm (4") pioneer speakers 30watt RMS and 210 max 2 way speaker. Well I can not set bigger speakers in the dash or in the roof ( Opel agila or Suzuki wagon r+ both are the same car) For the rest I use the Pioneer active woofer TS-WX210A. For that small car a lot of sound. Driving 400klm a day for my work.
@Williston Audio Labs, I love your videos and the fact you show so many amps to give us all info on whats good and what's a waste of money !!! Most of all letting us know if it bump doe !!! I have a question tho since I started watching your channel, What kind of wood and stain did you use for your box with the four 8's ??? I really like that look and want to make me a box like that when I upgrade my sub's Big D !!!
I was looking at these. I think I’m going to stick with the Rockford Fosgate Power series amps. I’ll get the 600/4 and a 1500.1BDCP. I love those RF amps.
@@wal I just need a Class A/B amp for the mids/highs. I only need one amp for that so it’s not a big deal to me to spend a few hundred more on it. If I were building an SPL comp vehicle, totally different story!
still love the T15K, and it looks kinda funny as on the main amp PCB there are almost no caps but under the PCB there's a gigantic cap bank I remember the vid where they had the wall of subs when they first showed it off
I hope they have plans to make a 4 channel version 100x4 RMS I'll get on the spot. I also wonder if they'll work on building a DSP in the near future 👍🔥🔥
I haven’t heard good things about him as a person. All I’ve ever heard is he is rude and full of himself. Now I don’t know him personally so I’m not going to pass judgment on Mr Meade. I do like what he does in the car audio field and I have respect for him as a business man.
Hey big d. Can you check out the canadb amplifiers line and possibly dyno the 3k. It's a Canadian amplifier but it looks just like the Brazilian full bridge amps. Just want to know if that put out rated power
Those output inductors a NICE!!!! Filtered output inductors!!??Normally only found in High end amps Like Helix, Audiocontrol, ESX, NOT MANY!! This is the only amp at this price range featuring those filtered output inductors!!!
An easy way to clean up class D is to make the switch to full bridge and move the power supply stage to a higher switching frequency most class d run the power stage around 24khz but bump this higher to 36-100khz this will add some more losses in the fets but honestly those losses don't really get crazy tell your over 250khz because most modern fets are stupid fast. This change helps because the greater the difference there is between carrying frequencys and audio frequency the better you can filter it out.. the next step is the output stage pwm circuit is the dynamic range. The is the the range between the lowest output and highest output this is controlled by the chop and carrier frequency on the pwm signal to the fets higher frequencys will give a more accurate waveform tracking also making it easier on the inductors to eat up the carrier frequency and pass a true sign wave. The IR relationship between the output filter and the woofer inductance will have a strong impact on total dampening, amplifier response curve. The way the amp dyno works supplys basically a static fixed inductance value based on the resistors in the dyno but given the inductance maps of woofer testing even if and amp has a small crown or is peeking at say 120hz and drops say 5-10% at 40hz this is do to the output inductor reaching saturation and will be far less with an actual woofer then it is with the amp dyno.
@@vpowerelectrix998 i teach electrical engineering and hardware engineering, i build mostly stuff for government contracts. I'm not sure i have time to design and build a pure quality driven amplifier design, plus i have been thinking about building a custom amplifier for my tesla model 3 and putting in a wall
Hey Big D, With this talk of clean D, and distortion, I was wondering if you would consider hooking up the outputs of future amp tests to an oscilloscope and show the wave forms of "Clean D" amps like this and "Max power like a Boss!" to show not just how much "MAX POWER" Boss amps don't put out, but how bad the distortion looks. There's always a debate on SQ forums about how class D's can't compare to class A or AB amps for THD, but if there was more visual evidence to show that class D is just as good or better when done right, then you could stir that pot into a whole'nuther arena of internet nerds arguing over minutia. Maybe not even an oscilloscope, maybe just a quality measurement mic up to your nice bookshelves, and show the output noise hiss at no load, or non-linearity of a sweep.
@8:30 "You'll never hear the difference, that is like 2%". You stated that wrong. The difference is 10 Log 98 - 10 Log 100 = 10 Log (98/100) = 0.87 dB difference side to side. Where you sit relative to the speakers has a lot more variation than the side to side power difference.
I think he should've sent you more of the lineup as well, I love Tony and Steve however I believe your opinion will carry more weight on these amps since Steve's so close to Tony 🤷🏼
That would imply Steve being a sham. And he isn't. He had haters but that's what they are haters. Dude is the real deal. Just means he won't put his name and reputation on junk. Neither would Tony D.
i totally get that. But i wouldn't ever put up an amp and make anything up no matter who's amp it is. Tony is the best of the best though (Juan too), so i am proud to show off anything they make. I hear ya though totally.
Hey could you try testing out the t.amp e-800 amplifier? ive been looking at that amp as an option and hopefully it does 800 watts rms so i can pair it with a toro force 8. It will be a upgrade from the LG fo sho! thanks and have a nice day!
So more or better capacitor! That's pretty much how you keep class D from back feeding noise back into your 12volt system. I don't doubt they know how to bring audiophile sound into car audio.
not just more and better capacitors, but especially since you're dealing with class D you'll need nice inductors and a very high switching frequency generic class D car amps only switch at anywhere between 150kHz and 300kHz, which especially for fullrange audio is quite low, really high quality amps should switch in the MHz range, because it's kinda like bits/s and you'll need less filtering too (saves on inductors and has higher quality) you can kinda see it like with how many points per second it can recreate of a soundwave, the more the better especially if you're driving tweeters etc because 150kHz can only reproduce 10 points approximately of a 15kHz waveform
Well this is the first amo dyno I have seen of these amps that wasn't set at 14.8-14.9 maybe these amps are ok i would like to see if it can do rated power at a cars actual voltage 13.5-13.8
Thx big-D. would you consider using your AMM1 on the "Do it bump doe" segment. I think most people are unaware what Ohm load the Amp is really seeing during music thx.
Yo Big D! I'm a little late on the comments but wanted to see if you had an opinion on what subs to pair with these amps? Just pre ordered the 1000.1 after watching this and Steve Meade's videos on D'Amore.
Your channel has gotta be the best advertising for D'Amore with their AD-1 prominently displayed in every video, you deserve a free amp or two!
Their tool has helped not only me, but the industry as a whole. Keeping mfg’s honest with their ratings for years now
@@wal your video was one that helped me find my aml thats in my truck right now. CAB-2000.1
@@wal Now all we need is to send the Chinese the AD-1 so they can learn how to rate an amplifier.
So true

I think he should've sent you more of the lineup as well, I love Tony and Steve however I believe your opinion will carry more weight on these amps since Steve's so close to Tony 🤷🏼
That would imply Steve being a sham. And he isn't. He had haters but that's what they are haters. Dude is the real deal. Just means he won't put his name and reputation on junk. Neither would Tony D.
i totally get that. But i wouldn't ever put up an amp and make anything up no matter who's amp it is. Tony is the best of the best though (Juan too), so i am proud to show off anything they make. I hear ya though totally.
@@meade916 word😉
Would you ever dyno a stock Bose amp? Would be interesting to see numbers on them
dang ! feature packed powerful small amp !!! as always with SMD, they did a real good job
Hey could you try testing out the t.amp e-800 amplifier? ive been looking at that amp as an option and hopefully it does 800 watts rms so i can pair it with a toro force 8. It will be a upgrade from the LG fo sho! thanks and have a nice day!
So more or better capacitor! That's pretty much how you keep class D from back feeding noise back into your 12volt system. I don't doubt they know how to bring audiophile sound into car audio.
not just more and better capacitors, but especially since you're dealing with class D you'll need nice inductors and a very high switching frequency
generic class D car amps only switch at anywhere between 150kHz and 300kHz, which especially for fullrange audio is quite low, really high quality amps should switch in the MHz range, because it's kinda like bits/s and you'll need less filtering too (saves on inductors and has higher quality)
you can kinda see it like with how many points per second it can recreate of a soundwave, the more the better especially if you're driving tweeters etc because 150kHz can only reproduce 10 points approximately of a 15kHz waveform

Well this is the first amo dyno I have seen of these amps that wasn't set at 14.8-14.9 maybe these amps are ok i would like to see if it can do rated power at a cars actual voltage 13.5-13.8
Most important is the choke cleaner which all hq amps have, even sony has😮
Would love to see dyno on rockford t series 400.4 and do 4 ohm dynamic numbers.
It should do good for the price 🤩
Amp dyno why you no come cheap? 😭
Ah hey I like your videos they are entertaining to watch aswell
@@ArnoldGaming thank you. 🥰🥳
Yeah dude you have a whole channel over there.
@@alphaomega8373 😎🤘
Totally worth the cost
ALWAYS DO AN AWESOME JOB. TRY THE ALPINE 500 WATT AMP

👍 You're Very Informative!
Good one.
Thx big-D. would you consider using your AMM1 on the "Do it bump doe" segment. I think most people are unaware what Ohm load the Amp is really seeing during music thx.
Yo Big D! I'm a little late on the comments but wanted to see if you had an opinion on what subs to pair with these amps? Just pre ordered the 1000.1 after watching this and Steve Meade's videos on D'Amore.
Very nice I like this one.
Do these guys make home audio amplifiers?
A day late I found this no notification .
