Quick note on the RGBS, if you press and hold it another color shows up there are more than 100 possibilities, hugs from Taramps thanks for the video :)
@facekicker do you think this amp can still do 3000 watts 2 ohms at only around 12 volts ? I notice this model is rated at 14 volts and the regular smart 3k is at 12
Sorry to hear about your divorce. Hopefully you don’t allow the stress from that to pull ya down too far. Be easy Sir and thanks so much for the upload. I purchased one as soon as I saw Big D’s video. Have yet to install it but no regrets here.🤘🏻😅
The smart 3 bass did 7855 watts at . 5 ohm dynamic on Williston labs Dyno at 14.56v. In case anyone wants to know the difference, even though it's not much.
@FaceKicker- Yes please, Dyno the Big Boss Bass 8k next! I was off by a lot on the 1ohm, and 1/2ohm to clipping. I guess Taramps really did upgrade some components from the Last Smart Bass amplifier line, with this New line of Big Boss Bass amplifiers, not to mention the sweet 22 different light combo's!?
Is this technology (full bridge) and brand a reliable safe option now? I have HIUGE chassis half bridge amps I cant use right n ow with space constraints in my daily car. This or the bigger one would be great if I dont have to worry about fires or blown subs when amp fails. I have not blown any subs or amps in the last 15+ yrs as I am responsible, but full bridge might be more finicky?
Yup going to buy one now.i have a smart 3 regular did very well since they came outbut I have a single solox l7x d2 on it but gonna grab another one and I'll be running at .5 ohm and this should push them really good about 2k per ..I was gonna change to Korean but I can't do it ..I've ran taramps since 2018 md1800.1 taramps md bass3k then a md3kpremier smart 3 and now the big boss3. bass 3k ..love taramps never had a problem i have a built in xover so i will use it as my lpf on my headunit and turn my lpf fully tob he right and usethe headunit xover
Can you explain to me how much of a difference i will see from any amp really being able to only provide 13.8 volts DC to the amp my car is newer and therefore has a smart alternator with the ONBUS LINBUS electronics build which controls the voltage and makes it almost impossible to upgrade the alternator without serious customization so I am trying to learn how to do the math when searching for an amplifier for my setup to know how much of a difference i will see and can compensate for it with a bigger amplifier that is if it's significant enough to worry about
I kno rgth, I gotta 03 Yukon wth a computer controlled charging system whn it's cold it gets up2 14.8v and in da summer time stays arnd 13.8v. so I dnt even kno why most companies rate them at 14.4v anymore. But just buy and amp rated at 12v problem solved 👍
@@playaj320 yeah I think my kicker CXA 1800.1 is rated for 12 v I could be wrong but when I can put something like a JP23 in my car rated at 2300w RMS and the kicker can outperform it on every lvl and only rated at 1800w RMS I have to think it's got to be something along those lines I'm trying my best to upgrade my power supply I got a ioxus ultra cap battery and a 74AH lifepo4 battery with a 200A continuous 600A burst and it's made everything come alive it's slamming now but I keep wondering about this other .6 volts I have asked hundreds of people between here car audio forums etc. and they all say that it's such a small difference that we can't even tell without a spl meter or some other type of device so I guess I'm going to just run with it and enjoy what I have and make sure my next vehicle is HO alternator compatible
@@Facekicker ok that makes sense and I have been seeing that my amp is getting between 14.3-14.6 from the ioxus ultra cap and the lifepo4 I still don't really understand how it is but it is I can see it both in the ioxus app and on my multimeter I'm new to lithium and caps etc. I literally just bought them a month ago as my first power supply upgrade because I have been striking out on the alternator I've been trying to read everything I can and ask everything I can to learn but it's a lot so I got a little setup to learn with and I am seeing nothing but positive results so anyway your saying that amperage draw and delivery is more important than voltage
So these have the same technology as the smart line? I'm asking because the 8k version compared to the smart 8k version is cheaper. So if they both have the same technology then I may as well get the Big Boss version over the Smart Line version. Plus the Boss version has led lights. So again I just want to double check and see if both of these amps have the same smart technology?
It’s rated at 1700 rms at 4ohm. It smokes it by 200 watts and you say “yeah that’s pretty good”… lol How many brands over deliver that much clean power
Can someone please tell me if the big boss line is better then the smart bass line I'm buying an 8k and want to know if the big boss bass 8k will be a better choice then the smart bass 8k????
@FaceKicker- I paused this video @ 1:07 to make my guess= (ALL power @ clipping) 1/2 ohm 3k @ 70% eff., 1ohm 3150 @ 75% eff., and 2ohm 3300 @ 80% eff. I stopped @ 2:19, and edited this cause i forgot my 4ohm power guess= to clipping like ALL of my #s before= 1900!
Brother you absolutely do the best straight forward amp dynos. Big D talks crap the entire video acting as if he even understands how amplifiers works. So bad. Youu I don’t do the bullshit talk. You state only facts not opinion’s like Big D. Thanks for doing videos.
I stopped watching when you said you were on your Cmax and your voltage was only at 14.8VDC. Cmax tanks below 15.0VDC. They hold the bulk of their energy storage between 15.3-15.5VDC.
Quick note on the RGBS, if you press and hold it another color shows up there are more than 100 possibilities, hugs from Taramps thanks for the video :)
This series of amps are flat out amazing and they count up cleanly on all ohm loads on certified so ur getting really clean power.
Wow that amplifier is amazing!! I hope Taramps comes out with a big boss 8k
They are 5 and 8k just like the Smarts.
Boss 5k and 8k is already out now
@@BDauto86 no beautiful led light. I love the look of Christmas lights on the top of the amplifier.
Going from a Pioneer 9701 1200 rms to this I picked up 6DBs on the windshield. Definitely making more than advertised. Strong little amp.
Oh man! Here we go! Dude. My original smart 8 bass from you is still going ham. If you get the big boss 8. It may fall into my hands too. Idk. lol
awesome test results, thanks !! & pleeeeease do Big Boss 8 soon
It's very nice! It's way more more powerful than 1 of my Soundqubed S1-2250.1 amplifiers.
@facekicker do you think this amp can still do 3000 watts 2 ohms at only around 12 volts ? I notice this model is rated at 14 volts and the regular smart 3k is at 12
Do a Dyno on the TPT-BASS3000 1 Ohm from Timpano, Big D did the EQ version but there's not many videos done on the Bass3K

The fact that it can even survive the half ohm tests is incredible. A beast!
It's going to have rise

I keep telling people the Smart amps are stronger than the Boss. The Smart 8k did 10k at 1 ohm. No need to even drop to .5.

Would this be enough for 2 15 inch 2400watt a piece American bass subs
Hola amigo saludos desde México sigo tus videos ... el desempeño del big boss 3 es igual al smart bass 3??
For the rca input, is it better to just use 1 rca or use a splitter and use both rca?
@@chachayteti4life no better either way, most people run paired subwoofer RCAs to a single amp so it's cleaner to just plug both in.
Is this technology (full bridge) and brand a reliable safe option now?

Taramps Smart like the Big Boss series are probably safer than most Korean amps.
why is the amp draw in this video not as high as other videos I've seen? Others have the amp draw at over 330 to 390 at 1ohm
@@jorgem50 higher voltage, lower amperage

How do you hook up the RCA’s on the taramps ? Just got one myself
Why did you pull the amperage meter for the other tests?
Saving up to get this and another DDX D2. Then I can run my two DDX at 2ohm and still get enough power.

As long as you can support ~300a of current, voltage won't make a huge difference between 13 and 15v on these amps.

@Facekicker that's crazy and the Big Boss is around $50 cheaper, at least the 8k version is.
Love see what the 5k.and 8k doing .also any big boss amps.you get wamma sell let me know or.any 8k amps you might wanna get rid of.let me know
Damn j, definitely an upgrade..
Should I get this amp or a smart 5 for a single Sundown X v2 12?
Smart3 or BB3 is plenty for the Xv2 in my opinion.
Does this include the remote clip/power/protect light like some Taramps come with?
Yes
@@joshholden8561 do a single 15 or 18 setup and this or maybe the 5k version may be exactly what I need. Thanks for the reply.
Yes

Big boss 8 please. You would be the first!
As soon as mine shows up
A beast for sure. Just not a fan of full bridge amps in general.

gonna get this with stock electrical and wire to 0.5 ohm... just gonna tune the gain to voltage drop lmao.
