I think it would be awesome if you did some of the Optidrive amps from Lanzar. Specifically the 7k, because I've seen many people run them but im not sure if they put out the power they say they do.
HighSchoolBassHead I own a Opti Drive7000.1D and I Clamped around 3500 watts wired at 1ohm rising to around 2.3 ohms on one battery and a200 amp alternator dropping to around 11.5 volts and its rated 7k at .5. Sooo yes they do rated power
Awesome amp test Tuesday! Goes to show the power of the dyno and why the pro's like you have these sorts of tools to measure and ensure that you're getting the most out of your system.
That is awesome results from the DC amp on that power. You figure each D1600 is good for 1500 watts each, so they are giving that amp all they have and still holding on pretty damn good. 4,500 watts of battery power for a 10K+ watt amp.
fav day of week. thats some killer numbers...wow. i need to research how you got your name on the bench test unit everyone in the game uses. RESPECT homie
JEREMY HERE, I BELIEVE THAT THE DC AUDIO AMP IS TRUE TO ITS COMPANY NAME AND THE PEOPLE THAT BUY IT, IT ALWAYS BEST TO BUY AN AMP THAT OUT DOES ITS SELF.
hey steve when the sytem is done do no t forget to do another dyno test but with the amps hooked on the car so it would show the diference that the amp does when is properly instaled
This ought to show the difference power supply upgrades can make. You can compare the choked power from the test stand to what you can get with a full bank of batteries and plenty of alternator power.
I think it would be cool if you made removable cables from your truck that you could hook up to the test bench, that way you could give it alt power, or build some contraption to have alts powering the amp rack, that would be sweet
Hey Bro! I like Car Audio very much! What you do with very high expencive equipment is very interesting for me. I am from Austria, and here are nobody with so damn expencive sound equip. Only at some car meetings few people have around 2-4000 Watts, its nothing to you. I respekt your work, and like your Videos - anyway, such an equipment in my car still was a dream.. (Sorry for my bad english) Greetings from Austria! :)
Nice work Steve. I enjoy the inner geek that says what the hell does it really do. I would like to see some cost to benefit factors tested more. As in I have these 2 tens in this car and I slap amp a in for x dollars and sweep for db's. Rinse and repeat for amp b and so on. The reason I say this is that pep's are all about the amp that squeezed out 56 more watts yet do they even hear a difference. Sure if 1 amp is putting out 150 and the other 200. Most bass heads are going to be looking at less than 1 db difference when jumping from 1 amp to another given that they are rated to be close to the same anyway. For instance put a SoundQubed 1200 up against a DC 1.2k. The difference in their respective outputs will be negligible at best. So you buy for build quality, features, looks, or cost. I am all for finding the bang for the buck. Perhaps torture test the amps and see which breed takes the beating longest.
RC batteries would be perfect for these dyno tests. For about $400 you could build a 4S4P pack of turnigy A-spec and have an easy 20kw to play with. Also, a dyno run on a Behringer iNuke would be awesome.
Damn that amp will be a monster once having all the energy supplied !! I lost but i hope someone elses wins the subs or hat (: Good luck !! :D And nice video steve it impressed me to see 3 batteries handle that much of a powaa .
This amp test Tuesday is cool. Especially with that bad ass testing equipment! I don't know if you've tested the RE, or Audiopipe amps? I've been curious how they are, being newer and cheap
Mr Meade nice testing done there. Would be nice if you ever could use a hybrid car, like a Hybrid Tahoe or escalade. Even though those batteris are 300v, thinking you are the most experience i known. Maybe you could make a mod to squeeze 18v out of the 300v hybrid batteries.
Loving these videos. Would also looooove to see you test the new American bass Phantom 2000. I just bought that one ^_^ wanna see how it really does. I hear all the time that American bass is way under rated, but I gotta see it.
Steve it would just make my day if you put some power acoustik amps up to the test. they set pretty high expectations for their amps and sell for pretty cheap as far as amps go. I have 2 Power Acoustik Gothic 3500 amps and i honestly dont think they put out the RMS power that is stated. Im more curious about their demon series amp though. So if you could find time in your day to test some then that would just make my day :)!!
Im with twodoorsdown....get this bish on the t15ks. Nice vid....very thoroughly explained and proof of power. Dc products are one of my favorites and rusty is cool as fuhhhhk!
nice. im in the process of snagging another dc 5k, running a pair of them in my monte ss. would love to take a ride out to your shop sometime just for the hell of it....but im in PA, lol. itll take a while
ya a tesla would be cool especially the new SUV model X with like 8 SMD 15 in it in a SQL set up how ever you would need a tesla home back up power pack and step it down to 16v it would be a interesting project but not impossible. .
on some of the bigger amps u have tested couldn't u just pull a vehicle up next to the test bench and run a ground from the engine block and a hot from the battery post of the vehicle providing it had the big 3 done. that way it helps the little battery bank make a pull
That amp dyno is awesome. I have personally clamped over 27k (yes 27000 watts) out of a pair of these 9ks. With a totall of 4 9k's and 2 woofers in one vehicle. These amps are beasts very well made
This amp seems to be more power hungry than some of the cheaper alternatives. Could you do a video if you haven't already on a ppi 10k compared to this..? claims have been made that a single alt with 4 batts is enough. I highly doubt it but thought I would ask to see.
SSL Evo amp test please! I bought a Evo 4k of course its not 4k but I belive its pushing ever last lick of 1000wrms. Compared to my old Alpine Mrp650 it seems to hav almost twice the power.
DRG Angry I am not playing I had the aero series ssl amp it was 1500 watt monoblock 2ohms stable and only did around 260 watts they are worse than boss. Hifonics is the best for budget amps
Your attention to detail is amazing ! Your installs are just super clean and it's really enjoyable to watch you install systems .
STEVE! You should definitely re-test this amp with the batteries in the car! The power would be crazy!
Damn that amp pushes a lot. Great to see amp test Tuesday, really miss these videos
This amp could do double-duty as a welder. Man that's a lot of juice!
Its been about 4 months since the last amp test. Keep em comin Steve!
Thank you so much for resurrecting amp test Tuesday
first. Yessirr..
Doh
What! What!.......
I think it would be awesome if you did some of the Optidrive amps from Lanzar. Specifically the 7k, because I've seen many people run them but im not sure if they put out the power they say they do.
Chris Peden nowadays they are hifonics, precision power and audiopipe grade amps, not even close the shadow of what they used to be.
HighSchoolBassHead I own a Opti Drive7000.1D and I Clamped around 3500 watts wired at 1ohm rising to around 2.3 ohms on one battery and a200 amp alternator dropping to around 11.5 volts and its rated 7k at .5.
Sooo yes they do rated power

Well done Steve. These amps are criminally awesome.

umm you got real life experience in my car lol.. they stay at 11v when im at full tilt.. ;)
s3ns4i
You have 16v batteries that go to 11V at full tilt?
J noADnROhh
Mean build Mr. Meade! Cant wait for the finished product!
fav day of week. thats some killer numbers...wow. i need to research how you got your name on the bench test unit everyone in the game uses. RESPECT homie
Thank you Steve for the new updates.
That car is going to sound amazing
Listen to how quiet the shop was, lol. Non the less, still a really cool RUclips channel!
Amp yest Tuesday! Awesome totally didn't expect it. Thanks Steve.
IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!
Happy days! ATT back in the mix Thanks Steve :) :) :)
JEREMY HERE, I BELIEVE THAT THE DC AUDIO AMP IS TRUE TO ITS COMPANY NAME AND THE PEOPLE THAT BUY IT, IT ALWAYS BEST TO BUY AN AMP THAT OUT DOES ITS SELF.
hey steve when the sytem is done do no t forget to do another dyno test but with the amps hooked on the car so it would show the diference that the amp does when is properly instaled
Thanks for the videos! Can't wait to see the Toyota all done and on the Dyno!
Most impressive run!
Almost 12k in dynamic RMS (1ohm).. That's some serious power!
Holy heck, you know it's some serious power when you have that much coil and capacitor whine/buzz going on. That's crazy. The voltmeter shows all.
This ought to show the difference power supply upgrades can make. You can compare the choked power from the test stand to what you can get with a full bank of batteries and plenty of alternator power.
I think it would be cool if you made removable cables from your truck that you could hook up to the test bench, that way you could give it alt power, or build some contraption to have alts powering the amp rack, that would be sweet
Wow. It is not everyday I hear ballast resistors chirp :-) What a beast!
Just one thing to say: DC Audio FTW!!!
can't wait to get mine!
Whoa.. that's a lot of power. Now I'm interested in seeing what the Kicker Warhorse can put out.
Excellent demo!
Killer vid. DC makes a sweet amps!
Do this amp again Steve with your set up now and all the other big boy amps like it
Next let's get Chicken's caddy and test the Rockford Fosgate T15k out!
I knt wait to hear that hoopty hit so dam hard... !!!!!gna b loud and proud!!!!!big Steve!!!!!

Greetings from Austria! :)
steve you really need to think about running a bank of super caps for you test bench that would be badass
Chea...
Best channel on youtube

U should hook the amps in the tahoe to the dyno.
u wont have to worry about power on that run
This is going to be epic
Damn that amp will be a monster once having all the energy supplied !!
I lost but i hope someone elses wins the subs or hat (:
Good luck !! :D
And nice video steve it impressed me to see 3 batteries handle that much of a powaa .
DC AUDIO YOU ROCK
wow insane power
EpicEverythingDude75 my thoughts exactly
EpicEverythingDude75 bawhahahahaha fits tha product perfectly :P
This amp test Tuesday is cool. Especially with that bad ass testing equipment! I don't know if you've tested the RE, or Audiopipe amps? I've been curious how they are, being newer and cheap
lets see audio pipe 3000d next tuesday?
Mr Meade nice testing done there.
Would be nice if you ever could use a hybrid car, like a Hybrid Tahoe or escalade.
Even though those batteris are 300v, thinking you are the most experience i known.
Maybe you could make a mod to squeeze 18v out of the 300v hybrid batteries.
Badass amp!! It sucks that we cant have these in Finland :/
geometricpatterns6 LOL! no, but here is not dc audio dealers near by and it will be too expensive to order from different country...
geometricpatterns6 You sir are awesome!!!
Not to mention "The One" from PG has many more capacitors inside, way way more.
Loving these videos. Would also looooove to see you test the new American bass Phantom 2000. I just bought that one ^_^ wanna see how it really does. I hear all the time that American bass is way under rated, but I gotta see it.
Very nice and impressive, even with the test rig you have. cannot wait for your further build videos. But will it beat the Tahoe?
Steve it would just make my day if you put some power acoustik amps up to the test. they set pretty high expectations for their amps and sell for pretty cheap as far as amps go. I have 2 Power Acoustik Gothic 3500 amps and i honestly dont think they put out the RMS power that is stated. Im more curious about their demon series amp though.

Im with twodoorsdown....get this bish on the t15ks. Nice vid....very thoroughly explained and proof of power. Dc products are one of my favorites and rusty is cool as fuhhhhk!
Steve, I would like to see a stetsom tested, I think we all know why :) It would be nice to see if it can do the numbers with a good THD.
Amazin dude that amplifier is very good to a loud bass rigth
nice. im in the process of snagging another dc 5k, running a pair of them in my monte ss. would love to take a ride out to your shop sometime just for the hell of it....but im in PA, lol. itll take a while
well done DC Audio....
i run my amp on a 18.5volt 20amp power supply i built never gets hot or any thing and it makes my sub kit good
I wanna see a taramps hd mono amp dyno, why hasn't anyone done a dyno on one of these
have you done a system for a Tesla yet? I'm just wondering since the car is basically a gigantic battery!
ya a tesla would be cool especially the new SUV model X with like 8 SMD 15 in it in a SQL set up how ever you would need a tesla home back up power pack and step it down to 16v it would be a interesting project but not impossible. .
on some of the bigger amps u have tested couldn't u just pull a vehicle up next to the test bench and run a ground from the engine block and a hot from the battery post of the vehicle providing it had the big 3 done. that way it helps the little battery bank make a pull
So sick bra awesome video!!!
Luv me sum amp test Tuesday!
That amp dyno is awesome. I have personally clamped over 27k (yes 27000 watts) out of a pair of these 9ks. With a totall of 4 9k's and 2 woofers in one vehicle. These amps are beasts very well made
I never heard the first base note!!!
Got a amp too test. The Autotek mean machine mono amp. Back in the day they where good amps. Time change so would like to see what they would do now.
Good stuff man. What are you planning to hold up the suspension in the rear? If anything at all lol
This amp seems to be more power hungry than some of the cheaper alternatives. Could you do a video if you haven't already on a ppi 10k compared to this..? claims have been made that a single alt with 4 batts is enough. I highly doubt it but thought I would ask to see.
You can hear the charger screaming for help. Lol!
Damn. Can wait to see
hehehe... first time I see the dyno temp rise that fast ! Those are big numbers... speaking of big numbers, have you ever dyno your crown xti 4000 ?
SSL Evo amp test please! I bought a Evo 4k of course its not 4k but I belive its pushing ever last lick of 1000wrms. Compared to my old Alpine Mrp650 it seems to hav almost twice the power.
Good video!
That amp is a monster sheesh
Damn. That is some real deal shit you got there. Nice!!!!
you need to test the mephis mojo 4kw
Oh Ya !
You did it.
Need to do the Sundown ns-1.
what was that sound at 3:11? sounded like scratching..
meade916 Have you ever tested the XD600/1 ? Thanks
I miss amp test tuesdays
Whit this you've dyno-ed your power bench!
WOOW DC audio 9,000 WATTS AMP! $2,299.95 :O
Maybe an additional capacitor bank?
Impressive amp!!!
You should test a pioneer 900
Btw love your channel ur videos are very entertaining
Sick shit Steve, dem amps r hungry 4 more voltage...
steve do some pro audio amps
Can you test the Crown amplifiers you have in your shop stereo?
Steve I will have a custom built system by you one day. Lol
It would be great if you could test the new American Bass VFL 4480.1 hybrid series amp, curious about the efficiency of that style
If you don't mind can you please test a Mmats 3000.1. Would be appreciated.
you should test one of those new rockford pbr500x1 amps
I wanna see if the stetsom Vulcan 5000 dyno
Can you please test a Zapco amp
2 15 kickers 1200 each max..4000.1 autotec amp.. mono blk wired down to 1ohm...monster wire everywhere. .... am I over powering them?
I'm pretty impressed by that certified run. It is one thing to make big power, it's another to do it with low distortion. :)
I can never find High out put alt for my cars :(
Can you do an amp test Tuesday on a dual 400 watt amp I think it pushes atleqst 500 watts and I wanna know for sure what they push
if it is a "Dual" amp i wouldn't get my hopes up on it doing the 400 much less the 500 watts. Sorry bro.
whats your take on SSL and Lanzer amps?
DRG Angry I am not playing I had the aero series ssl amp it was 1500 watt monoblock 2ohms stable and only did around 260 watts they are worse than boss. Hifonics is the best for budget amps
DRG Angry lanzar amps are good for the money. I would recommend the opti drive series.
