I like the metal pots for adjustments and super clean layout. 5k if you hold 14.7 is solid for the price. I wonder how solid the protection circuits are. It looks very well designed, circuit layout, component selection, and nice tall fin beefy heatsink. Pretty sold option, id run one if these. Very nice looking! Especially with the anodized face plates! Thanks for taking time to post this!
Man can't lie the old dsp's were killer, picked one up for a guy. I almost kept it for myself, even told him to sell me it back rather than get rid of it when he goes too.
very nice amp, price is a bit steep. They should price this $999. Surge 4k only $699 korean half bridge. People will buy sundown salt before buying this in that price range. Love the video ❤
I agree it's expensive however it's performance is stellar. AD is standing behind the price saying the quality justifies it - how that works out, we'll see.

@@Facekicker are the lithium batteries just for the stereo? ... or do you have a lead acid battery at 14.2 on one alt. And lithium batteries on a different alternator at 15.5 ?
Build quality and performance justifies the price...i spent 1100 on the dd m4000. I would of spent the extra $$$ to get this but it Wasn't released yet.
I don't trust small amps that put out big power, sure they put out rated but they will get way too hot way too fast i don't see the point you only get to play for 10 seconds before the amp is shutting down
These amps have the heaviest heatsink per inch out of Korea they have made we designed this heatsink in house to be that way to keep maximum cooling with a smaller foot print.
Hahaah $1,499. Y’all haven’t googled Slapz Audio yet, have you? Why would I spend $1,100 MORE for your amp which (at first pass) performs like the $300 Slapz Audio (admittedly, a Chinese copy, but the same shit, literally). These folks are nuts.
Right... All these people driving cars must not have Googled bus passes... Why would you spend $5000 MORE for a car which gets you to the same place. It's admittedly not the same, but it's the same shit, literally. These folks are nuts.
@@TheGodofSEO I have no affiliations with AD, but I would certainly recommend AD over a Chinese SD clone with a silly name like Slapz. If you can't see the disparity between the two, I'm sure Slapz will suit you just fine however.
@@TheGodofSEO We don't have any SD clones in our lineup, and our amps are lane tested and proven to perform. Youre free to nutswing from Slapz all you want, but they simply are not at the level of anything else you've tried to compare them to. You enjoy yourself though.

Good work sir!
I really like the looks of this amp, and the performance. Nice😊
AD is a solid brand ..i used to run a AD DSP and it was more then expected..great company great customer service...definitely a brand not to sleep on
Man can't lie the old dsp's were killer, picked one up for a guy. I almost kept it for myself, even told him to sell me it back rather than get rid of it when he goes too.
Very nice amp, great video 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice amplifier.
That is legit as fk...very very nice amp..thanks J..
Super impressive!
@@Facekicker hell ya it is .hard to find amps that perform that well..tons of headroom..spendy amp but one of the few worth it.
Great power out this amp!!

@@Thumper68 No one wants to hear your political views.
Why are you measuring in DC versus AC voltage?
Because the input is DC and I'm clamping the input grounds.
Sweet amp!!!!!
I want to see a dyno on the ad 3k.
Sheeeeeeesh!!!!!
impressive thx
Where can you purchase this amplifier?
See the video description
👍👍👍...
I think Hexibase uses these amps too.
Yessir, he's pretty involved with AD actually, I think he models enclosures and more.
He works for them designing their drivers.
Who's alternator is running at 15.1 volts ? I'm at 14.2 at most.
15.5
@@dead6last and this is healthy for the batteries ?
I run 15.5v personally.
Many of us use lithium batteries that are best at mid 15s.
@@Facekicker are the lithium batteries just for the stereo? ... or do you have a lead acid battery at 14.2 on one alt. And lithium batteries on a different alternator at 15.5 ?
@@Mr_BUSINESS_24_7 my entire vehicle runs off the 15.5v lithium, and that's typically how it's done.
I need to see the admk1100.1 on a dyno
I'll try to get one in
Yes these are Korean
That should be how and amp rated should run much higher on a dyno since you would loose quite a bit from impedance rise in an real world application
No, impedance rise should not be a consideration as to how the amp is rated. It never has been.
Basically same board as
DD M4000
Surge PS4000
DS18 HKO 5k
All same Korean buildhouse
Just buy which one is cheapest
Build quality and performance justifies the price...i spent 1100 on the dd m4000. I would of spent the extra $$$ to get this but it Wasn't released yet.
Its high price cause its close to a 5k on power its like a salt 4k on steroids
That must have been the ones that grabs Orions old amp makers.
D18 made the brand trash.
Same as JP knobs.
Another cookie cutter amp.they are priced higher than other koreans...
I don't trust small amps that put out big power, sure they put out rated but they will get way too hot way too fast i don't see the point you only get to play for 10 seconds before the amp is shutting down
Yeah, this only worked for 3 or 4 seconds at a time, because of its size.
@@Facekicker yep. I just returned my taramps smart 5ks for the exact same reason
@@TrendyBromando What did you replace your Taramps with
@@Facekicker nothing i sold my two crescendo bc 17ks too **major facepalm**
These amps have the heaviest heatsink per inch out of Korea they have made we designed this heatsink in house to be that way to keep maximum cooling with a smaller foot print.
good amp but a-bit over priced.
You get what you pay for. Build quality is where the value is at.
