Go learn more you'll dislike once again promise as with many full bridge options. Far as I can say orion hcca 3kdsplx hit 13.8k half ohm dynamic 3 zero GA positive inputs and 3 zero GA negative inputs sick sick pitch rt there

Been using an md12k for like 3 years.

@@reson8qwhich is really for mid drivers. Had one also myself.

@@christopherparis6841yea they can’t touched the Orion.

@@LeonD519 i dont know never used taramps for anything but subwoofers. Been using a a Soundstream txp4.3500d full bridge 4 channel and it powers all 6 of my full range drivers with plenty of head room. All are 6.5". The thing I love about the txp4 is its 1ohm stable which is unheard of for a stereo multi channel amp. Been using it for 2 years also in Phoenix 110 F+ degree heat...

I recall his testing now that you mention it, I might try a few things in the next week or so just to verify some behaviors I've found and I'll add power cycling into the mix.

💯

@@Facekicker I bought the in the white version a few months ago, but not used it . Any more testing or info would be awesome! Appreciate the video!

Bass or Boss Bass at 0.5 starting is generally speaking the best configuration for overall power

They did that so they won't blow up and catch fire when peoples electrical can't keep up

I don't feel like you're understanding the advantages of current limiting. If a traditional amplifier gave you 7,400w at half ohm then it would probably only give 5,000w at 1 ohm, then 3000 at 2 ohm and maybe 1800 at 4 ohm. Which amp would you rather have? The current limiting feature gives you way more power at the higher ohm loads. Keep in mind they only built the internals to handle 8,000 watt continuous. This is how they keep the prices as low as possible.

@@JasonWW2000 I repair amps I do get what's going on with these amps those big boss 8 k amps I've seen the guts a see what fets taramps uses and that big boss 8k is almost a 15 k internals dialed way back I guess that will help the amp to last a really long time. Dialed back and they have good constant power circuit in them.

@@JohnG1000 no that's not the reason ppl are still gonna run bare minimum electrical and burn the amps up Wich is what was happening to taramps in the earlier years also using undersized power terminals on the amps didn't help either

@@JasonWW2000 Id rather have the Bog Boss 8 vs Wolfram 7500, and thats why its for sale and the Big Boss 8 is waiting to get a car to go into.

Try GS Amp Repair or Ellensburg Amp Repair

Cutting it close imo

@@Facekicker i got the 8k and at full tilt i can still hang around 13.0 lowest I've dropped is 12.4 after bumping for like 20mins idle. its Definity a really good amp and sounds very clean too. but i wish i could push it harder the smart tech keeps it at 8k but my subs i feel can be louder

@@Facekicker so roughly the same amp in size and weight

@@bubbawubba2307 ya really close

@@Facekicker Seems a fella should just buy the 12k since it's close to the same amp but regulated to put out 8k instead of 12k

@administratorperson3272- In this video, he showed, 1 Ohm= 710 amps, with 81% eff., and 1/2 ohm, was 755 amps, with 68% eff..

ill refrase the question, what amp hr load is the 12kw and 17kw dynamic requirement?

@@administratorperson3272 - Depends on what type of battery chemistry, brand, and model/size of battery. Its up to you to research, he gave the amperage draw in the video, so you can see what a manufacturer recommends, for amp/hr. and alternator, as each could have a different answer. So its best to ask who you pick.

@@evilinside5984 i no mention battery(s). i could probably guesstimate based upon the earlier given readings/values.

@@administratorperson3272 - I can only try to answer, based on what you type, not what you mean. Your prior comment says, "What amp hr load is the 12kw and 17kw dynamic requirement?" Batteries are rated in amp hr., so thats why i answered the way i did. I want to try to help you if i can, but please be more descriptive, thank you. Also when trying to figure out electrical requirements, its best to use the Largest draw. Like in your example 17kw. To support 17kw, you would need to be able to provide roughly 1,700 Amps of current, depending on actual efficiency. Hope this help's!?

I often see clamped numbers surpass what it does on the bench.

@@Facekicker these amps are not that impressive u can feel tht smart limiting bs kick in on music it gets quiet and starts to roll off u can feel it reduces its power at higher volumes i had the big boss 3k im sure the smart 8 would have been alittle better for more power but that 3k wasnt enough for a daily driver

@@MRBassSlapper depends on configuration. Generally speaking, the smart tech maintains a higher average output than your standard amplifier. Repeated throttling would mean something isn't configured right.

@@Facekicker these amps are always going to do that i had one for a few weeks on solid electrical

There's situations I would use one or the other but wouldn't necessarily blanket one or the other as better

These amps last just fine, with proper electrical, like any other full bridge amp

Ruthless audi junk ?

Careful. You're sounding like a spammer.

I have a few Taramps approaching 10 years of use with no issues

@@Facekicker Ive heard the earlier models werent as reliable, mostly the other brands half bridge, but they have WAY more safety features now.
