IT'S MY BOI!!!!! thanks for this video. Can't tell you enough how much (I'll speak for all of us) your videos mean to the audio world. Can't thank you enough.
Growing up, an amp this size was just unheard of. Never mind the output it’s capable of. I’m not a Brazilian amp fan at all but this is still no less than impressive.
What a GREAT amp to install in the dash behind a shallow non-transport head unit…….But…..Common Rob…..at 1:39……Gain is NEVER a volume knob…….just keeping you honest bro……😊 besides that…great vid of the obscure in car audio. Keep it up! 💙
Loving these little amps. Perfect for small stealth installs. I want even smaller for RC car applications. This amp hidden in my Prius c would bring my daily to life.
Seems like this would be a great upgrade for a daily beater. I’d may have to grab one of these for my son’s 96 Taurus. His next piece is a 4 Ch amp for his stock locations.
I am looking at this amp for my Dodge Charger Harmon Kardon upgrade. I have a factory 8" sub in the rear deck, and am adding the 2-10" Harmon Kardon subs from a Challenger. The subs dont need much power, so I think this will fit the build perfectly.
Always fascinated by tiny amps with decent power, tho not a fan of any extra noise. For something that size and power, I'd be using as an SQ component, so that 1KHz whine is not good. Still, it's pretty cool what they can do for under $100 and in a 4" square..:) Have a great one! Stu
Finally us international ppl get an opportunity to win something. This would definitely go in my next beater I'm looking to buy. Throw it on some budget components and a powered slim sub to complement.
Great amp for some low to moderate mids and highs and easy to hide somewhere. Would love to have one to go with my timpano and black diamond mids and highs
The past few years I’ve seen these Timpano amps advertised and amazed with how tiny they are. I’ve wondered how they stacked up and it looks like they did good. They also have a couple of different lines of subwoofers that look interesting
I have a Pioneer mvh-s21bt head unit and 4 Infinity coaxial 6.5 's in the doors , the Pioneer just doesn't have enough power to get to that sweet spot level that I like . the Timpano amp would do that and then some .It would be great to win and bring me up to a higher level of listening to audio .
This is the same as Stetsom 400.4 , i tested and have same results as you, for some reason timpano exaggerate the numbers. Have on can am Spyder in the frunk, put a small 3" fan behind to keep it happy.
My main car has all kinds of mids, amps, sub, and big ass power wires all through out, but for my other car...I prefer a more stealthy type of system. May just pick one of these up to install it behind the dashboard, or in the glove box. This way I wont have to run a full 8 gauge or 4 gauge power wire to the back, and for the channel connections I can just tap into the factory speaker wires, wont even have to run new speaker wires.
Itd be sick to build your own bluetooth speaker setup with this amp and the 500.1. 2 6.5 up front with 2 6.5 subs on side, source a bluetooth receiver and lithium battery and boom!
This amp would be perfect for my wife's car which has a fault on the rear channel of the integrated head unit as it can easily be hidden under the dash.
I have a Kenwood KAC-M1824BT that has been giving me issues lately with random channels cutting out. I've checked the wiring to make sure connections are solid and they are. Looking for a solid budget mini amp to replace it with. This is a possible option. Thanks for the video!!!
I'm surprised. It sounds pretty decent. Only thing is I'm concerned about safety. Is this amp safe to be pushing it hard for like a hour straight without starting a fire?
Oh boy. Good power! If I would ever win that (and I'm far out the US) that would do me some good with my cheapo home-car audio mix setup (4" sealed back 8ohm mids, 4" dual cone 4ohm speakers and 1" mylar 4ohm dome tweeter each channel). Currently using a 3116D2 amp board for that in the house while I got no car, let alone one that fit my sub box tuned to 21 Hz. Good luck to everyone!

What gauge wire should I use to power and ground this amp because I’m trying to build a custom portable Bluetooth speaker. Also any ideas on what components to pair this amp with would be really helpful.
What if I bridge it @ 2 ohm? Says 2x225 @ 4 ohm on the box. No specs bridged at 2 ohm. Was thinking of getting a kicker comp rt dvc 6.5 and replacing my factory 6.5 sub. I already have this amp.
I don't understand how you can judge an amp as good or bad sounding? Doesn't the speakers determine the quality of the overall sound? I believe the key to good sound is decent speakers driven by an amp with enough juice to drive them properly and efficiently.
These Brazilian mini amps seem to throw out a bit of power for how small they are. The Timpano would go great alongside my Taramps DS160 behind the dash of my MR2. Run the front stage and factory subwoofers off the Timpano and run the rear coaxials off my DS160.
What's up hifi....been on the fence about buying another 4 channel amp ....I really like the class a/b orion I currently run but every since I swapped my mono amp out to the jp23 having trouble making different types of music sound good ( finding a happy medium) I listen to rap rock country .....need some kind of either eq or something where I don't have to fool with the adjustments on both amps to get each type music sound it's best .....thought about getting a kicker key ....but don't know if I need a dsp .....I have somewhat of an old school set up ...single din alpine head unit ...one of the newest models but my vehicle is a 1998 s 10 ...idk if I need a dsp....or just a good eq never ran either really ....
In my opinion you don’t need a key amp. Those are used mostly for retuning factory head units to put out frequencies that they take out at the factory. Most mono amps when the power is the same but they sound different is usually because the sound processing is different. A DSP can really improve the performance of your equipment. Good ones can be pricey though. I run a JL Audio TWK DSP and I absolutely love it. You can plug a laptop into it and make a crazy amount of adjustments as well as time corrections plus you can save different profiles. Audio control makes a really good one as well. In the more budget area is something like the Dayton audio DSP-408. It’s way cheaper that the other 2 I mentioned but still has some of the features.
Hey bro. I heard your opinion on super tweeters and I agree. But how do you feel about hlcd's? I'm totally ignorant to them but all these SQ guys are telling me I need some for my car
Compression and horn loaded drivers are good when used well. The same can be said for super tweeters, but they typically are pointed right at your face and way too loud
@@HifiVega could you please share the link for the guy that test the amps in Germany? I googled it but couldn't find his site. Thanks bro. Love your work!
I would run that little thing to power my mid bass in the 3 way I been putting off installing because I don't want to touch my finished amp rack. Like an idiot I didn't plan a 3 way setup expandability from the beginning. I could bury that thing anywhere.
Hello I’m doing a small budget build in my garage to shop clients…two timpano 4” super tweeters, three 6.5 mid’s kenwood head unit just need a amplifier 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
The only problem with timpano is there reliability. So many bad reviews and failures with amps subs and speakers, it's hard to justify this budget brand being better than Skar. And skar sucks

Man it's crazy this thing does so much power in such a small footprint! It would be easy to hide behind the dash in most vehicles
🔥
@HifiVega does the noise come through if you run low pass like 120hz and lower?
@@dominicdymond nope
Too bad "big d" ain't got a clue who big Jeff is
Dude it's the same exact amp as the stetsom you did a while back
IT'S MY BOI!!!!! thanks for this video. Can't tell you enough how much (I'll speak for all of us) your videos mean to the audio world. Can't thank you enough.
I can’t thank y’all enough for watching and being subscribed!
I'm always impressed when something so small has that much power. I wasn't expecting it to do rated power with a 25 amp fuse.
Growing up, an amp this size was just unheard of. Never mind the output it’s capable of. I’m not a Brazilian amp fan at all but this is still no less than impressive.
In the late ‘90s Jensen had an amp this size, but it was only rated at about 20 watts X 4, and it wasn’t very likely to put out that much power!
That's a bad ass little 4 channel, it would go great with my custom Bluetooth speaker build.
I’d hook it up in my nephews car. I gave him a door speakers and sub and sub amp already. Use this to round it all out pretty nicely
What a GREAT amp to install in the dash behind a shallow non-transport head unit…….But…..Common Rob…..at 1:39……Gain is NEVER a volume knob…….just keeping you honest bro……😊 besides that…great vid of the obscure in car audio. Keep it up! 💙
On Brazilian amps the gain is a volume knob 😬
Big Jeff making a splash in the audio world! Great video Rob, as always!
Hey Rob, good video love to see these odd ball amps.
Thanks
This amp would be great for more a hidden and tucked away clean install!! Literally put it anywhere you want

It definitely depends on what your application is as to wether this one is a good fit
This amp would be great to replace my factory amp and upgrade to a good set of 6x9. Great
Finally us international ppl get an opportunity to win something. This would definitely go in my next beater I'm looking to buy. Throw it on some budget components and a powered slim sub to complement.
I got you!
I could definitely use this amp.. I need an amp for my 6.5" mids and tweeters. It would make such a huge difference and sound so much better.
Love your amp dyno setup now Rob! It is amazing how much power that little thing puts out, even though it didn’t make rated power.
Love your show man! Surprised the power that little thing did. Hope I get the chance to win it! Take care brother
I'd use install it on my parents utv on thier family farm. Looks like just the perfect size. Awesome power for the footprint.. 😊 ❤
That's a awesome little amplifier I would love win this to give to my son for his motorcycle
Great amp for some low to moderate mids and highs and easy to hide somewhere. Would love to have one to go with my timpano and black diamond mids and highs
Definitely use this amp up front as its decent enough power for middlers and tweeters.
The past few years I’ve seen these Timpano amps advertised and amazed with how tiny they are. I’ve wondered how they stacked up and it looks like they did good. They also have a couple of different lines of subwoofers that look interesting
This is a nice little amp, I would probably use it on my tweeters, it is more than enough power.
Great amp to hookup with a t harness, 4 channels, and stuff it nicely in the dash. I have a dsp that would control the frequencies nicely.
That's crazy how small that amp is!! Good luck to everyone

I'd run four 6.5 coaxials with it in my old beater Toyota pickup since I have opted not to put a real system in that truck..
Perfect amp for a beater!
I am surprised it did so well power wise being so small it would fit perfect in my truck
I'd use it to run my tweeters in my 3 way set up
Pretty decent little amp. Looking for sound quality and Brazilian I highly recommend the PRV SQ amps
This is the same as Stetsom 400.4 , i tested and have same results as you, for some reason timpano exaggerate the numbers. Have on can am Spyder in the frunk, put a small 3" fan behind to keep it happy.

@HifiVega You spelled the name of the amp wrong in the title of the video. Watching it now! Such a tiny amp! Thanks for the coverage sir.
Good looking out! Thanks
What's up hifi I would most definitely use that amp on my highs and mids.
Ooh baby. I saw these and thought it could be a fun little amp. P.s. digging the video structure.
Thanks!
My boy works at Big Jeff's. Very cool store online and the brick and mortar.
That’s pretty cool
Nice little amplifier. I'd use it to power my pro audio super tweeters.
Hey buddy. I would use it on my nephew first car! He would love it!
It would be a good improvement for my bicycle sound
If I win this I would install this on my wife's car I already installed some component but is missing an amp

Pocket power

Sorry been saving that one for a while HiFi
Would be willing to give the amp a go in the wife's setup I'm getting together since I now have mine all together.
I think I could use this little amp on my motorcycle 🤔
My honda pioneer needs a system. That amp would definently work
id love to use this amp to replace my factory stereo in my Toyota supra.
Love the content,sure could use an amp!
Make a good boat or utility vehicle amp. Pretty impressive
Would be nice to try it out on my Harley
That 'lil puppy could hide in the glove box or under the rear package tray. (or anywhere else it'll fit)
Would be a nice combo on a pair of 5.25” mids.
Awesome little amp!
What gauge wire should I use to power and ground this amp because I’m trying to build a custom portable Bluetooth speaker.
Also any ideas on what components to pair this amp with would be really helpful.
I had a sound stream mini 4ch amp that had a fixed cross over there was no bass below 40hz which sucks so I sold it
For mids? I dont know of any mids that can play 40hz
@@Luminous.Dynamics ? Speakers will play whatever frequency you tell them to
Now how they sound and how long they last doing so is a different story.
I’d make an awesome Bluetooth speaker with that little thing.

The speaker inputs for the channels is kinda confusing it has 3 inputs per channel?
They just share a common ground for the speakers so only 3 slots needed

Hi, I heard a kind of distortion ¿ I'm wrong?
I usually hear some level of distortion on all the Brazilian style amps
