Datasat isn't the parent company of DTS. Datasat is DTS' old cinema division. In 2008, DTS divested themselves of their cinema division, forming the separate company DTS Digital Cinema. In 2009, it was purchased and renamed Datasat. DTS' parent is Xperi (a tech holding company).

One must remember that companies that steal intellectual property and/or falsely market their products under another company’s brand name are looking to make as much money as quickly as possible, not the longevity of their business. They price their products very cheap to make a profit by selling a lot of units quickly before they are shut down. Then they start over again using a different name. Since they have stolen the intellectual property of another company, they do not have the expense of research and design. It is very common for Chinese companies who have been commissioned to build a product for a brand to make more of the product than the original brand ordered and then sell the exact same product at a lower cost undercutting the original brand.
@mysock351C Жыл бұрын
Given that its China, the whole thing is a ripoff from top to bottom. Its likely some company linked to the CCP wholesale stole the designs from a legitimate budget company that was manufacturing there, and decided to roll some knock-offs with the blatant logo thievery to put the cherry on top. Easy to make stuff for cheap when all you have to do is just bring a thumb drive to someone else's business. No R&D costs or anything like that. Edit: Basically a TL;DR of what he said ☝Still, its one reason I would like Dereck to show discretion in reviewing these types of amps and ensure they are at least a real company first. Giving some bootleg company good publicity just reinforces their profits and keeps the scam going.

China is where they are today because they steal. Almost all electronic components are manufactured in China . This is all supported by their government. If you design a product in some other country then send it to China for manufacturing, guaranteed, your design has been compromised/stolen. Countries should send their manufacturing to other places . Yes it may be more expensive but weighing against the alternatives of what this communist has done and what it now has the capability to do military wise , we should stop now. It might already be too late .

Don't know how long you have been doing this. During the late 1970's up to about 1990, a friend of mine ran a car stereo shop (still does). During that time, he built several crank it up cars. We had a design we were going to put in an abandoned Rambler station wagon, but the shopping center had it towed off before we could do it. The design was based on the speaker that a company called LTV built in the 1940's to test the microphone used to record an early nuclear explosion. One of the cars he built was for a customer with a 1970's Chevy Monte-Carlo with the long doors. The owner decided to go all in and cut the guts out of the doors and put 2 15's in each door. 4-18's went where the back seat used to be. Since there was a little space left at the top, they through in some 10 inch Gauss for the mid-bass. In the truck were 6 Harmon Kardon CA-260 amps, with all but one bridged mono. A series of 5 inch across the top of the doors and some JBL studio tweets under the dash, rounded out the drivers. This was fed by a high end Nakamichi cassette deck with computer controlled azimuth and a high end ADS for equalization. The day of the contest came and we all drove to Dallas for the event. We get there and the same guy who beat our car the previous year shows up with a 1960 Cadillac Hearse. 7-1500 watt amps and a - no kidding 26 inch Woofer for the low bass. 2-150 amp alternators. Even with that, it still took 14 or so Marine batteries, just to turn the stereo on. Yep lost again, but just barely. The winner got a mini-pickup, but more importantly for the young gentleman, he got a job! A leading amplifier company hired him as an engineer.

I recently bought a Lanzar Vector VCT2610, I have not tested it but it says inside the box it's true rating is 300 + 300 watts rms. It's for strapping so it will be ok for 2 x 300w subs and my second amp for the woofers at 250w per ch and 6" x 9" 125w per channel. Should pump when I make the enclosures. There are some bad reviews for Lanzar but I think they are pushing the amps too far and not testing their true output first, I will keep them to their lowest rating. Thanks for all your great video's.

Interesting bit of kit there. I have a Velodyne 150W sub that I've been running for about 20 years (not continuously). It's an 8" cone in a ported case with crossover. The box it came in is long gone and I have it right next to a reflecting wall. My question is, is it as nice as I think it is? Yeah, it is fraying a bit on the cover. But it shakes the whole house. It also cost a whole lot less than current Velodyne products.

my boxes got smashed up but the one sounds decent enough, since the glue is holding up. they are cheap 12" passive speakers, so i use it in the house with a 200w car stereo (low power so a broke box isnt audible) . look at the corner of the box and see if you can pull/push the panels together. if the glue isnt holding and its loose youll hear it as the speaker flexes and shakes the box, making a god awful noise. shouldnt hurt the speaker any though. is the amp built into the speaker? might be fun to make a new box for the old active speaker. or find a prebuiltbox and fit the sub and amp into, idk.

@@1oneguythat I should proof read better. What's gone / going is the cloth on the front. The physical enclosure is fine. The amp is built into the same box as the speaker.

Looking back at this, I see 2 weaknesses: The power supply MOSFETs and the output choke coil. Replace the 4 Z44n MOSFETs with something a little stronger and your certified/uncertified numbers might get closer to the dynamic results. The output filtering choke looks a bit small for even 600 watts at 1 ohm considering the 30 amps of output current available. I think if I could get one (change the name to "DataSnatch" for all I care), that would be the first upgrades I made. Too bad @barevids couldn't get his hands on this and confirm my theories...

It wasn't terribly expensive and in the long run it's a *_lot_* cheaper than buying a pile of cheap gear at half the price. There are about 5 subs up in my attic waiting for the day I can either use some of the parts, repair them or chuck them in the trash.

Haha. Noticed you upped the fuses to 40s. Was curious how it would produce the proper wattage if it doesn't have enough amps coming in. Nice review. Just goes to show you don't always get what you pay for. In this rare case you got way more.bang for your buck. Thanks for the info
@DrHarryT Жыл бұрын
For the money It's pretty good, the key would be to buy a few of them, run them @8ohm to get the efficiency up higher and run them well under their rated output to get the distortion down. No specs on the slew rate or signal to noise ratio. I have a Sound Craftsman PM860 Professional Mosfet amp. [120V] It's zero ohm stable which means you can short the speaker wires and power it on without harming it. The certificate of performance states Channel A 286W/Channel B 287W @8ohm, Channel A 401/Channel B 402W @4ohm all at .05%THD [Probably get close to 450W per channel @2ohm] With a Slew rate of 50V per microsecond. [It's really fast] I've paired it up with 4 EV Force 10 and 2 EV Force 12 musical instrument full range loudspeakers with 10lb magnets, 105Db SPL [1W@1Meter] 150W continuous. They accurately reproduce flat thought the audio waveform spectrum. [This means no matter what frequency you drive them at, they reproduce with the same intensity of sound pressure equally.] 10" 75Hz - 7000Hz/ 12" 65Hz - 7000Hz Oh yea, when you power it on, you hear a little pop, the speaker does a little flex in and out a couple of times and then... Silence and it stays silent using a Makie mixer at zero volume input. With this baby and the EV's, you close your eyes and swear the band is in front of you with accurate reproduction.
