Question Big D,
Is it possible or safe to use two D4 woofers and one D2 woofer all in series for a 2ohm load on a mono amp? Same question for two D2 in series and one D4 in parallel for a 1ohm load?
Yo Parker! Glad you got a shout out
I remember about 25 years ago to get that much power, an amplifier would be 10 times that size and 10 times the price. Now getting that kind of power and price from an amplifier that size is incredible.
The manufacturing process of microchips has shrunk them down tremendously that’s why
True but will it still work in 2-3 yrs like old school amps.Power ain't everything.
Id still take an old Soundstream 10.0
all day.
@@khuniganif you don't try to squeeze out the last watt by clipping the hell out of it at lower than rated ohms? yes.
i don't see how amps should stand up to such abuse
@@BH4x0r New amps aren't built to last.That's y u always see them used for sale.Theyre disposable.Not worth fixing when they F up.
I'll pass.
Big power ain't necessary.🤨
I was thinking the same
I appreciate the shoutout! Incredible results on this little amp 💪🏼🔊🔥
I actually found this video after watching yours when you hooked this up to your Sequoia. That’s wild how it pushed those 15’s !!
Thanks to you both for the education
Parker and Big D! Never even research something until first checking to see if y’all have a video on it. Always sharing links with friends, thanks for the massive amount of content from you both! 😊
I started car audio in 94. By 97 I had 6 12’s in a wall with 2 Orion’s that were 4 times this size. I maybe had 1000 watts on a good day especially with small wires and one battery on stock alternator. Wow what a time to be alive. Got a 65 impala I’m fixing to make crazy
They def have stepped up and hope they just get better and better . Saw Parker test this and got insane numbers bumping those avatars! Insane how small a 3k is now , back in the day would take 3-5 massive ab amps. Also digging the light show as well .
You could get two 1500w amps 20 years ago, but you were paying $400-1000!
130% efficiency?!? It's putting power back into the battery?!?
This had me cracking up, thanks Big D! 🤣
Umm, no, 130% efficiency is telling you, that if you pull 100W from the battery, you'll get 130W from the receiving end of the amp.
Now that's against some laws.
@@Njazmoonly allowed to play Judas Priest wired that way.
"BREAKIN' THE LAW! BREAKIN' THE LAW!"
Gigachad Amp
That's incredible for that things size. I remember when I got into car audio 20+ years ago. Getting amplifiers that were most of the time Second hand and twice the size of a VCR Hoping for 200 a channel
Please say "One Aught", not one ohh. "One Aught" is how the wire industry says it.
He said 1 aught and he was referring to 1/0... Are you high? Who doesn't know about that...if you watch his previous video and he did mention about the wire gauge sizes...
@@JmsJing 1/0 is One Aught 2/0 is two aught, etc. One Aught is also 0 AWG. Two Aught is 00. I've never heard him use Aught in any videos.
@@jeffm2787 ... Most people watching this video knows a difference between a Aught and a American wire gauge AWG...
@jeffm2787 this is the first time he has not said it and I don't watch all his vids
YOU AIN'T GONNA SEE THAT, IT'S GONNA BE IN THE TRUNK. I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN SHOWING OFF MY GOODS
I love how you guys bounce information off each other. Parker the Basshead & Barevids are other channels I watch frequently. Can’t forget DIYAudioGuy. You 4 are my favorite car audio channels.
The smart bass 3k is such an impressive amp and the customer service is wonderful. I had an internal short and customer service actually had a local repair shop actually fix my amp. Got it back in 3 day and in perfect condition can't say enough about taramps amplifiers.
Is it still rocking ?? Debating on getting this amp but I’m concerned on how the warranty works? I live in New Orleans and we have almost 0 shops like so
@@maplesgamer378 It is working amazingly I have had zero issues since repaired. The guy Taramps found to repair my amp didn't have a store or shop it was a residential address but did have some overly high qualified credentials(government IT repair contracts and server repair was some of what i saw)which made me happy. Emailing Taramps customer service directly was the fastest and easiest way I did my warranty. Response time was under 3 to 4 hours sometimes instantly and from starting to finish was maybe a week at best, I'm sure time may very. I would totally recommend Taramps there amps are crazy powerful for their size and do sound great. They actually came out with a newer smart bass line with rgb that looks cool. Just give it some room to stay cool it will play hard and won't even be hot to the touch.
@@maplesgamer378 Yah it's still pounds I love it. I wouldn't worry about that Taramps amps finds the shop all you do is send it in. Taramps has a specific turnaround time that a repair shop has to fix it so no matter what it'll be quick. If a warranty is need emailing them the fastest way took maybe 4 to 5 hours for a response so start to finish was about a week(I'm sure times may vary). Do be afraid get one you'll love it.
I have the big boss 3 bass it’s been amazing!I I also have the EQ Bass and it’s also amazing but the quality of the eq bass has been a problem. I am on my third unit, the second warranty unit!! They do stand by the products. I run one 15” avatar 1ohm at 2ohms can still go down to half ohm.
And they don’t need a bunch of extra batteries or a giant mechman alt. I Run all legit copper 00/1 wire. Big 3 stock battery that is old and a eBay 250amp alternator. I have zero power issues at full blast, no drop, nothing. I may finally get a new battery lol
Parker the Basshead is the Brock Purdy of the bass game.
I wouldn't say that all watts are created equal though. Sorry, I just love my old school stuff.
Am I the only who can't stand how this brand looks ?
I recall when an amp that gave 1/10th the power was 3 times that size and had no filtering or crossover functions .
They were also 10X the price . Add in an active crossover and equalizer(s) , all the additional wiring , etc .
Definitely was the dark ages but we enjoyed the hell out of most of it , and it produced a lot of iconic names , most of which are now gone or pale shadows of what they once were .
That's Mr Fusion level of power , and accurate if we could Believe those efficiency numbers , lol .
Todays amps should not have any filters or crossovers because everyone is using DSP anyway.
I love amps that give you what you pay for meaning they back up they say they can do! LEDs are cool as an added part of the deal! As a bass junkie I love what this company is doing and can’t wait to see what time brings with their products.
Didnt a 3000 watt orion model do 10k plus on your channel in the past
This amp is a strait animal on power im glad this counts up clean on certified and also this makes rated power at 12.6 volts.
Looks like they are finally get their circuitry design under control. A lot of their amps didn't make rated power until you fed them 14.4-14.6V.
So could you run this with a stock alternator and 100 amp hour AGM
@@StickTalk402 ummm.... Add a couple more 100Ah batteries then yes.
@@girthquake9655 I ran it on my stock alternator with a 100 amp hour AGM. It had really bad voltage draw as expected wasn't a huge fan I ended up getting the RP4500. Also got a high output alternator haven't installed it yet and this amp is insanely efficient barely any voltage drop no dimming of the lights
Does it have a clip light Indicator?
Technically it’s a glorified Smart3. 🤷🏻♂️
Can you recommend an amp with similar price and RMS as this Taramps big boss 3 bass 3000 with a bass remote? Thanks
They do sell a Taramps bass knob on Amazon for the Big Boss amps
Wow that 3000 watts also pulled 300 amps. You see the Taramps amplifiers being used by alot of bassheads for their subwoofers. Taramp's seem to have some pretty solid products for the price.Thanks for another informative video Big D.
Thanks Dereck for the work you do for us! Great video!
Works out to $0.0496 per watt at .5 ohms
Is it safe to run a 2 into 1, "Y" adapter? Does that short out the pre amp signal being stuck together?
All I got to say is WoW, what a beast of an amplifier. Although I'd rather take a jp23 over this amp, this would definitely not be a second option.
What would it be 3rd? 4th? 😆
Big D hath dropeth the Big Vid
Dang that thing puts out some juice! Definitely impressed, especially for that small size!
I'm one of those monsters that leave the plastic on. 2 or 3 years later, when I finally pull that plastic off, it still looks brand new underneath. That's the most satisfying feeling in the world for me. To pull off that nasty, dirty, scratched up and blistering plastic only to find it perfectly pristine underneath - like it's brand spanking new all over again.
That little amp is a BEAST.
Just put a new plastic on it, 4-6 years later, you'll get the same feeling.
I felt the same, like wait a few years before peeling off that new protective seal.
@@jdlech haha I do the same thing !
For the amount of times you actually move those pots I don't think them being plastic really matters. Plus if people know that going in they will likely be more careful with it.
I’ve got the reg bass 8k and if the boss 8k provides like this one does. I may be swapping.
I can not believe where the power is coming from 🙈 0.5 Ohm with that tiny thing and over 5k. UNBELIEVABLE 😮
Maybe I'm blind but why haven't I seen you do any powerbass amps on the dyno?
Man, I remember my very first stereo system, had 2 jbl subs and a pioneer 666 I got from Walmart. The stereo place that installed it told me if I wanted good power it was a $1 per watt. I paid nearly 250 for that amp at the time. I though I was the shit. It did bump though... had it for 3 years until I joined the Navy and sold it!
Anyone that trashes Taramps doesn't have good electrical, or they just like trashing.
I'm still running my MD 8k gen 1.
Plus is that it counters Box Rise.
That’s very impressive! Especially for the price… mind blowing 🤯
my taramps bass 3k maybe 2 years old now but still hits hard as usual. only replace the fan because it makes a strange noise
i would like to get back to Spl ,but in 500 to 1000rms class ,what size amp think I need for 2x 250 watt rms svc subs, never seen these amps before think 400x1 or go abit more 800x1?
What is it with companies running 1 subwoofer RCA input on car amps. 1 RCA for a sub is a house thing. When my head unit or DSP or EQ all have 2 RCA outs then my volume level on my sub would be cut in half if I removed 1 RCA from it. It would be the same as 1 coil using power versus both coils being hooked up...
I really appreciate what you do buddy!
I just ordered this amp for 2 Skar 10,s the svr D4, I have a feeling it's going to blow my subs.
Whats good My Guy.. How did your set up handle the amp? looking into getting this amp. I have a skar EVL-1X12D2 | Single 12" 2,500 Watt Loaded Vented Sub box.. Would be cool if you can post a video. A tip for you If you're interested use Handbrake program (free) to compress your video for super fast upload.
@nikkodogz Awesome amp, power hungry It clips due to not having enough power to push it but keeping the gain down fixes issue until I can get a high output alternator. I would definitely recommend this amp.
@BrettStevens4321 thinking about getting one
That is some crazy power for 279 dollars...
The big B.S.
It looks like an amp you'll find at the swapmeet 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If this doesn’t have 0g inputs and a remote knob this is a fail right from the start! I’m sooo over getting 0/4 adapters to install these in peoples vehicles. The clip light is amazingly accuracy on all teramps but no reason to not give 0g inputs and a knob anymore
I just got the big boss 3 amp and I have 2 1500w rms skar subs for the extra battery what size will I need
There are far too many youtube videos that point to taramps reliability being dogshit....thanks but ive got 30+ year old amps that have zero issues and original parts so if taramps cant last longer than a year or two it might as well have "pyramid" branding on it
still rather have a d4s amp which is better priced and sounds way better.
Yeah I just smoked a brand new jp23v2 at .5 ohms in 10 minutes. So pissed , upgraded from a v1.5 . Now I'm looking at these as a fill in till JP lets me know if he's gonna go good for my brand new amp that about caught my truck on fire.
@erik120719 what do you run now? Are jp amps not all as advertised? I don't like the bluetooth knob prefer wired.
Found a jvc kd-lx30 in a dumpster. Anyone know how much i could get for it. New to car audio
Would love to see a trinity audio 8k dyno
What a banger! I wonder how long this thing would last in a boat
what do you do with your massive taramps stickers? My smart 5 didnt have any i was sad
I stick them on rando cars at Walmart
@@wal I am willin to buy your next big one from you!
Hey Big D, what 3K amp is better Taramps big boss 3k or Stetsom bravo 3k?
No
"How does it sound"
Uses an OLD amp, a wall, and ..... nevermind lol
Technically it is true 0 inputs tho, buy American made wire and it’ll fit just fine, it’s that china fake oversize stuff that isn’t gonna fit
Great review, thanks for sharing with us🇧🇷🇺🇸🇪🇸🔉🔊
Awesome Bid D. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours
I've been religiously checking your channel for this video since Parkers video since I've been wanting to run one of these really badly at .5 ohms and holy I am beyond stocked to buy this thing. I would pay over $500 for this in a second but the fact it's only 300 is beyond me. Thank you so much for testing this amp as I will certainly be purchasing this incredibly soon!
Holy cow! Taramps for the win! 💪
Can you test at 12.5-7 and 13.6 volts? For realism sake?
its about time the price gouging ends . theres no reason but greed, but at least its not like when it was $1 a watt any more . truth said taramps dont mess around because if theres a problem it gets fixed asap . so it dont matter if the parts are cheap .
Loved my smart 3 beast of an amp zvx18 2 d3400 340 alt 😊
Been running my smart 3 bass on my 2 American bass xfl 15s at 1 ohm for over a year now... it still slams everyday. I never let it drop below 13v, never had a thermal shutdown or any sort of issue with it.
One of the best amps I've used as var as value goes
Will one battery with the big 3 and gauge wire be enough to run this the smart 3k ? I just received mine today.
@mayanaztec6440 I have 2 100ah agm batteries with an autotech 240 amp alternator and if I go full tilt I get voltage drop into the 12.8 area. You definitely need a more powerful alternator and power reserve to feed this amp properly
@@Jason_Voorhees. oh men, I just purchased it today. I thought the big three upgrade and 0 gauge wire would be enough. I also have a a Taramp HD 3k currently in my Tacoma, and I had very weak 4 gauge wire to it and man it’s thumping those kicker 10s I have, I get no light dimming, and even on the freeway the bass is definitely felt. This is why I thought doing the other stuff I mentions to my other truck would be enough to power the Smart 3k bass. I’ll have to rethink everything and maybe just get another 3k HD since that one seems to need less power.
@mayanaztec6440 you can still run it but you will definitely need extra power to run it properly
@@Jason_Voorhees. so last night I went through the specs on the amp, and I saw it needed a minimum of 9vdc and a maximum of 17 Vdc. Then I read that a car with stock alternator and battery produces around 13volts. So I came to the conclusion that it would work fine just not at maximum capability. I’m only running 2 10”s with 1000 rms each. I will still do the big three upgrade and a more potent battery on my truck. I will also install a voltmeter to keep an eye on it all. For the time being I don’t want to spend more money on the truck. The truck is a 1988 gmc sierra, that I just bought some months ago in Mexico. I live in USA so only will use the truck about a month out of the year, so that’s why I’m hesitant to put expensive batteries, they will probably die out from just sitting around. I am installing everything new on that truck, everything from wiring to all new speakers, amps, stereos, etc. I will do the installation my self, as of now I think my audio expenses is at 1500 dollars, so maybe adding another battery and alternator won’t be much more. I’ll think about it. Anyways thanks for your thoughts and opinions. Have a nice thanksgiving.
ok do u have aney video of taramp bass 8k if u have can u show it plz
Just sold my smart 3 kept clipping and low volumes
just bought one of these, so glad to see this video as was not sure if will put out recommended power
Your Telephone style Connector is Know as an Rj 11.
I just got the black version, I wasn't expecting the sound quality it has. The power it makes is insane. The fans are very quiet and vary in speed. I forgot it even had fans they are so quiet. What a powerhouse. Why would anyone buy anything else than smart boss amps? Taramps for the win.
How reliable are they? And what did you paind for it?
@@robertholsopple9451 I have the taramps 3k bass amp and im thinking about upgrading to the black big boss 3k
OMG almost 9000 watts!! too bad ya can't strap em up
I can tell you now that they are power hungry amps
i need that
have to tried getting current readings from a shunt ?
But is the sq there? Im not sure about these cheap amps
I hear it’s pretty hit & miss with taramps?
Ok this is great and all I’m sold but I need some honest reviews. How are these taramps with line noise? Like if the electronics are just powered on and no audio signal is being sent to this amp, does it hiss buzz what the hell someones gota tell me there is a flaw to this goodness ?!?!? If it sounds too good to be true then usually it is lol
*❌✅ They have loud ass fans when on …. suggest just replacing then with some brushless same size cheaply other than that . They are Solid as tanks for BASS COMPS they may not be North American ….. but they are still AMERICAN 🇺🇸 SOUTH THAT IS ((BRAZILIAN’s know BiG BASS & BiG AZZ TOO👋😎✅❌*
Uhg, why doesn't Taramps tell their warranty guys that they have a new release? Would be nice to have spare parts for those fancy LED's.
More like .10 cents per watt
Did Taramps send it to you?
This model is very confusing. It doesn't say Smart on it, so i thought it was the regular style amp. It should say on this amp, Big Boss Bass Smart 3k. Great power, and cool lights. Best feature is 1/2 ohm to 2 ohm power, so if wired @ 1/2 ohm and you get 4x impedance rise while playing music, you will still get 3k plus, as long as you have the electrical= Awesome!
Love your videos Big D!
Could you test Gravity audio wc1000.1D I'm almost 100% sure it's the same as CT-1000.1 but the price difference is like $40
Hi mr. Williston audio labs wat would you suggest jp13 monoblock or kicker 1800.1. Thank you 😊
@WillistonAudioLabs wish you could get a hand on Jensen JXP720 2 channel amp, reason being I've owed this amp 5 times and wondered, if it does as stated, all but the one I have now, right channel burnt, left channel works perfect 4 ohm and 2 ohm won't bridge
125 @4 ohm
180 @2 ohm
bridged claims 360 @4 ohm
thanks in advance
Down for sound or this amp ?
Super colossal big fat boss baby
Theres gotta be no way those amps have anything near good sound quality. These type im guessing are good for "burp" spl contests. Tell me im wrong.
A proper sound quality test would be done on low to moderate power in a sealed or regular ported box tuned about 35-40hz.... A bandpass enclosure filters the sound it's mostly all wind 🌬️.... I want to hear how the full bridge amps translates the transients
....I have an early Modelo Taramps 50k an I dont care for the sound it produced.... Im a music producer who sits in front of nice monitors and converters so I'm a little judgemental
The big box of Distortion
High volt supply. And tiroid materyal hihy freqance 100 kHz. Very very good result.thanks.
Just bought one of these after watching. Had a D1000 MTX from 20+ years ago that cost almost double of this and probably about half the power. This is just as clean as my pioneer 9701 was but added 6 dbs on the same subs. Need to work on my electrical and this will push my car to 150+ db. The extra battery and stock alternator isn’t enough.
I just bought the smart 3k Bass. Wish I would’ve waited now, though I’m just fine where I’m at.
Those amps have evolved a lot. 20 years ago, you'll get a 2x50W+1x100W amp used for the same money, and they were a lot bigger. D-class, aww yeah.
Hey, big D, are you gonna test a Trinity amp? I'm considering getting the 3k or 5k amp for 2 Trinity 10's when they are back in stock.
Seen Sams video comparing the Jbl Crown and the Taramps. Great custome setup for switching the amps! You, Steve, Hifi Vega, Parker and Sam have the best channels!
Taramps are Garbage and you better have a fire extinguisher 🧯 in your car. I've seen numerous guys running these amplifiers over the years that either the fans shorted out or the amp just caught fire burning their trunks up. My advice stay away from brands like Taramps Stetson etc... that use trash Full-bridged Brazilian circuitry.
What would you recommend?
@@maplesgamer378 Good Budget brands Like D4S Jp amplifiers, Crescendo, American Bass VFL, and NVX all make better quality amplifiers.
I bought the $220.00 harmony audio 1500.1 based off what I saw on the dyno and it is tearing my car apart, 1 year and it is still kicking. I wired it to .5 ohm, 4000+ watts easy on a test tone. I would recommend this amp or a taramps if your on a budget but you need good electrical and good subs. If this amp quits I will prolly get a MD8k.
Happy to see Taramps finally separating input and output terminals, as they were known to put the switch remote in between the speaker outputs. I blew my MD8000 by accident because of that horrendous design choice. It also ended up frying a pretty expensive head-unit as well.
