I’ve ran Stetsom 6k 2ohm export for over a year I did awesome been running a Stetsom 8k export now about the same amount of time it also kicks ass on custom made 15 inch subs with 4inch coils rated at 3k rms way conservatively. Gotta have powa to make POWA
Think I’ve mentioned before but I love the music playing in the background like that. Takes me way back to like early RUclips and even before that. Love the show!
Thx 4 testing Taramps! Please test either one of the following two scenarios: Taramps BASS 8K vs. Taramps MD8K (OR if 8K is too expensive then the Bass 5K vs MD5K), HOWEVER, can we test them both at a low 12.6ish Volts AND also both at around 14.4V? Only because of the voltage requirement differences.. 12.6v (MD) VS. 14.4V (BASS)
@@Facekicker Thanks. I went ahead and purchased the Bass 8K and am curious if it receives only 12-13ish volts, will it not hit it's rated power. I was gonna go with the MD8000 bcuz it only needs something like 12.8 volts to hit rated power. I hope I didn't screw myself over by choosing the amp that requires higher voltage. Thanks again for your tests.
@@lowhertzhighspl Why did you go with the higher voltage amp anyways? Was it cheaper? If they are rated the same wouldn't it have been better to go with the MD and then if you are able to kick up the voltage it will produce more power whereas the BASS at the 14v would only do rated?
im running a skar vxf15d2 at 1ohm with a taramps 5k with a big3 all 1/0 wire and dual amp inputs from sky high. i dont know about you but my amp is only turned up maybe a qtr way with the boost up all the way with it boosting at 55hz and its plenty for my sub. i dont regret spending the 450 on this amp. plus you cant beat the fans. i like it. it works
:50 1-ohm results was disappointing to say the least considering it tested at well above the voltage requirements claimed to be needed to hit 5K. This is just ONE REASON why I chose to go with the 8K over the 5K for my two 1500RMS each Skar VXF 15" subs. (Which I sold a week later and am rebuilding once again to something else: (TBD) Skar's ZVX or DNR? Deaf Bonce Apocalypse? Resilient Sounds Platinum or Onyx? Fi? Options are endless nowadays! Back in the day it used to be either Kicker, Cerwin Vega Strokers, or?, haha.
Taramps does rated @ 12v these amps are picky they dont like anything above 2v pre amp outputs/rca voltage thats probably why in this video it didnt do the whole 5k
Do you still feel that way?? They are coming out with a Smart 5k and I don’t know which one to buy 😂 Smart 5 hits 5k @ 12v and the Smart 3 does all its cool shit at 14. Would really appreciate your opinion thanks!
@@Facekicker I'm done cutting down Brazilian amps after seeing that smart 5k dyno. Cant believe it didn't go into protect after you tried it at half ohms!! LOVE IT
Skar, brazilian amps have early clipping and it's annoying,. Except for the powerus amp. That's the one doesn't have early clipping and you can adjust up 6 v
@@TuffApe Now I know about the bass line. My mistake. I vote for testing the Bass 8K but I'd be happy to see Bass 5K. I'm having a hard time deciding between BASS 8K and MD8K. $120 price difference but more importantly, where I'm stuck at is the BASS series handles vibrations better, HOWEVER, the MD series need MUCH less voltage to hit their wattage claims!
@@lowhertzhighspl The MD is $100 cheaper plus less voltage to get rating seems like a no brainer. It also has a smaller footprint. The vibration benefit is a non issue IMO as you should never mount the amp on the enclosure anyways. Additionally the MD is full range which would provide better future use flexibility. Lastly from what I understand the Taramps dont like low voltage so having the BASS at 14v would be pain the arse unless you are running lithium. I was also looking the 5k but for $100 more the 8K MD seems like the best option.
I really like how straightforward your dyno vids are. Meaning, thankfully there's no "Big Dummies" (like in another popular dyno channel)
Ill rather have big dummy telling me how many amps its running and how effecient the amp is. If you dont care your a big DUMMY LOL
You big dummy

@@Facekicker this is true those amps won't accept more then 2v input, that's why I ended up selling the one I bought...
The zvx handled 8k amps each? How hot did they get?
Do you have a dyno test from 1ohm model @ .5?
Looks like the smart 3 doing more dynamic power than the md 5k even though they say dynamic power ain’t shit but I would choose the smart 3 over this
Good observation... that Smart3k did put out more dynamic power.
Do you still feel that way?? They are coming out with a Smart 5k and I don’t know which one to buy 😂 Smart 5 hits 5k @ 12v and the
Smart 3 does all its cool shit at 14.
Would really appreciate your opinion thanks!
So the smart 3 is powerful than md 5000
Are those power/ground wires 2/0? Did you notice any heat build up?
Yes they're 2/0
No to any heat
I'm excited for a true tune.
So im confused this doesnt hit 5k watts or does it ?
What's the efficiency percentage
I'm not sure what the deal is with your specific MD5k but I've seen them dyno 5.2k at 12V 1ohm
Cool video. Thank you 👍
That new smart 5k is WAY BETTER on the numbers than this TARAMPS 5k.
Much much better

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hear wocka flocka doing his adlibs in the back ground
Why did the Taramps channel do 5100 @12.6 but yours did 4500 @13.6 🤔
They probably "juiced it" on the Taramps channel (can't let your own product look like it can't make rated power).🤷♂️
Do the fans stay on the whole time it’s on ??
They do idle at a very low speed, they are controlled by a circuit that raises/lowers fan speed according to temperature.
much appreciated.. now I just need to decide between this amp and the Skar RP4500.1 amp. Any suggestions?
