Man, I'm hoping these manufacturers will soon come out with 0 gauge remote input. I hate trying to trim wires to squeeze all that power into the 8 gauge remote input! Lol

As Derick said, these were a small run that was never publicly offered. I cannot stress this enough, these amplifiers do not represent the standards of Tru, thus they were never sold. Also, the Tru amplifiers listed on Amazon are through woofersetc who is not authorized for Tru Technologies. Check Tru's website to see who is currently authorized to sell their products before making a purchase.

Big D at it again doing the great work for the people to let them know what is a gem and what is a bust greatly appreciated Big D keep up the good work and you really are appreciated for doing what you do

Oh yea - it bump doe pretty dang good. :-) Very nice to see - hopefully these can be brought up to the standards Tru Technologies wants to achieve and can go into production at some point. :-)

That M4 looks like it would have been an absolute unit if they went ahead with it, would be amazing to do a build with one of those in each door in 3 channel mode all hooking back to a central dsp. Sigh one can dream

Another awesome show big d...I've been playing around with car audio since the late 70's and your channel is awesome..thanks for what u do brother

I saw M1 and M4 and thought you were finally testing DD. Huge disappointment, but I still watched. Lol.

I am so glad TRU did not move forward with these. At least some companies are staying true or should I say "TRU" ;) to their roots and maintaining high standards. Tru amps are a work of art. Even the tungsten series are extremely well built. I absolutely love that you can choose your capacitors, op amps, etc. I own a TRU 2 channel class A line driver and it is extremely well built. Nichicon and Panasonic capacitors. Amazing... These are a mockery of the TRU name. Cap top... Yuck!

That’s a solid amp! I have a m4 installed in my Miata 🤘

Happy mother's day!!!

Great upload D!! By the way, my Williston audio labs t shirt from t-springs is still in great shape after 40+ washes. One of my fav shop shirts for sure!!

Very nice. Another great video, keep up the great work Big D.

TRU should make a subbrand (called Almost Tru) and sell these amps under that flag. Most manufacturers do that. Some people need decent setup for low price and the market is not saturated there yet. You cannot make fortune on Veyrons, but you can earn money on Volkswagen Passat sales and have premium brand for millionares.

I'd love to see you add in an ultracap bank to your setup (if you don't already have one and i just missed it). I dropped in a d4s 500farad cap bank into my system recently and holy cow the voltage stability it amazing. I'm running a skar rp2000.d at 1ohm with stock wet cell battery and upgraded alt to a 220amp vs the stock 105 and of course 1/0 big 4 upgrade.. about at my limit till i add a 2nd battery. I had brief light dim/flicker till the alternator could catch up to the demand or during dynamic bursts . Now i have absolutely zero dimming at any volume. Even dramatically helped with my low voltage at low rpm issue. My voltage would drop into the 12s when coming to a stop and the cap bank is taking the load now. Incredible and would say 100% worth it. Waiting for my lifep04 cells and overdrive pulley ( to properly fix low voltage at idle issue) then will add a 2nd rp2000.d :) .. love the content, keep up the great work.

That 4ch looks nice. I’m curious about the NVX MVPA6. If it makes rated power it might be nice for 3-way active setups.

They should keep trying I would definitely buy a few!

I thought my screen was dirty it was your table!😂😂😂

Those little stickers on the back of amps are not legal. A manufacturer can not void your warranty for removing those stickers. This is because of the The MAGNUSON-MOSS Warranty Act. Technically the AG could take action against them for putting those stickers there they just don’t and unfortunately the consumers are the ones who suffer accepting refusals over a silly sticker that could come off for many different reasons lol!

Big homie I've been a music producer for 20+ years....would you be interested in getting a custom beat for your intros/test beats?

I like that 1 ohm dynamic run...

really nice amps considering the size

I'm noticing more and more manufacturers aren't specifying if S/N ratio is at rated power or 1w/1m.

imho even if this amplifier doesn't represent the actual standard of TRU, they still completely overprice their amplifiers. It's 2021, fully clean 1000w rms at 1ohm is entirely possible at $200-$300. the only thing i see this amplifier capitalizing on is efficiency, and even then 4ohm and 2ohm efficiency standards are rewriting themselves as we speak.

Hey sir! It's odd...but it is possible to remove, connect, and test factory "audiophile" amplifiers from vehicles. It would be interesting to grab stock amps and see what they are all about! Thank you bro, take care🤙

The only things wrong with the m4 is the manual and the printing on the amp. Seems like an awesome unit.

Question: Why are the remote terminal connectors on most car audio amps designed it seems to use heavier-gauge cables? Many of them are nearly the size of the power terminal connectors. However, remote turn-on cables usually carry very little current...

These seem to be made in the same build house as some of the nemesis Audio amps. I have a Sony XM GS4 amplifier and Sony Mobile ES speakers in my car, and sound is so clean, crisp, vibrant, and natural. Class D amps can sound good but they will never have the natural vibrant sound that class AB amps produce.

I was hoping to see this amp fail after seeing the price.. You most literally can buy true 3000w+ amps for less then $500, even upgrading everything due to less efficiency is cheaper then Tru.. Truly overpriced

can you try to get a dyno on a excursion hxa8k ? would love to see that. love your work !!

Can you review wolfram amps, they seem to priced VERY well for wattage, also Skar audio is growing alot in popularity

Hey Derick Old school man! I was wondering if you can please do a AMP dyno of those OEM premium amps such as one on my Lexus RX330. I think its rated at 132w rms and 250w max.. I was wondering if its worth keeping the amp or doing a whole system and amp upgrade!

quite similar to the Audiopipe AP Micro amps

Great video Big D! Any chance there are more of these somewhere?

My next build is gonna be Tru Technology amps ...I do love zapco but I have always wanted to run Tru or sinfoni

Woooot Woooooot! Nice showing fo sho.

I seen a video where you dynoed the pioneer head unit. You should Dyno a Sony dsx-m80 marine head unit it is 400x4. And has a class d amp built into the head unit. 80w x 2 and it is bridgeable. Kind of a neat head unit. Have one on my Harley and love it.

i dont get it.......why dont they just lower the ratings if the amps dont make it? dont they test them as a prototype before marketing/rating them? seems like an easy fix.....my love for and willingness to pay for fosgate is that they over produce the ratings...test the proto and under rate, pretty simple but i guess until you came around dynoing everything, no one was the wiser......you are doing a great service👍👍

Big d i have a problem u might know how to help me my 2013 silverado 2500 the door chimes dont work the blinker door ajar noise and radio wont come on any help would be great no fuse is bad

Great video Big D . Not very excited with these amps HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.

Great vid as usual. Can you check out the avatar amps. They are pretty affordable

Keep up the good work

Can you test and review the Rockville dB12

So far its realy good amps..... for soundstream RN5.2000 please make a dyno test , thanks.

Wil you do a dyno on the ppi traxx.....i cannot find one anywhere

D if you want a real TRU amp to test let me know. You get to try something different and I get to see what amp can do. 👍

Running these amps in my Legend. Still sounds great despite what the dyno says.

Dig D any plans on reviewing any Alphard audio amplifiers??

Can you test a DD M1D?

Is there any good budget 4channel amp like Banda250.2 with low distortion rate? I've got jbc kw m960bw hooked with Morel Maximus 602 v2 for front stock for the rears and rockford P300-8p(preamped) in my civic. I was thinking of running a small amp as my battery might be not powerful enough to run normal size amp with preamped sub.

Did you at least play True by Spandau Ballet on the Tru M4 off camera?

Is the big 3 necessary for One supposedly 3k Watts amp & One 15” subwoofer ?

Big D can you please test some genius audio amps

Yeah I can see why Tru decided to not sell these as a entry level amp. The brand would have been diminished, especially by that M1. Anyone who knows Tru Technology amps would know these aren't anywhere close to the level of quality and performance you get from the real thing. Nice generic amps but, I'll keep saving my pennies for the real deal.

I've noticed amps made with the "fin vent" style backplate covers are the same as cheaper amps like the new autotec and all other flea market brands I think it maxxsonics that fabricates those amps or not not Shure but I've noticed a lot of money robbing amps have the same style vent fins on the back cover

That 4 channel though!

Is it True Doe or Too good to be Tru? It depends on the observer.

Hello what is the bass difference between ported and sealed?

Isn't Tru and treo the same y do I remeber true amps did they make old school stuff or were production having flash backs

Can you do a amp Dyno on a nemesis amp

Did we miss something what happened to the Savard's and Gaily box?

You going to slamology this year?

Why didn't they start selling these the amps actually played great as budgets amp

Do you ever dyno any Digital Designs amps?

can you try any Amp from AudioSystem "Germany" ?

Please do a ds18 gen x 6,000.1d theres literally no testing done on them

So we just saw some other companies amps get dyno'd? Not TTs amp? So how does this relate to them? What other amps does that manufacturer make?

I think all amps should come with attachable name plate

Any chance of getting a Rockville RVA-M2 or maybe the RVA-M3 on the dyno? I know, its Rockville, but us broke people gotta have a little bass too.

Was that shake that booty baby by DJ Magic Mike?

Audiopipe sells these amps as their Micro series

Hey Big d what is a good 1/2 ohm stable on amplifier

These amps made by Master P?

Looks like D'Amore but Tony's amps easily exceeds their rated specs by allot

Do more PA power amplifier dynos!!!! There are these cheapo amplifiers being sold on alibaba that are apparently pretty legit, tall caps and giant toroidal transformers. Would like to see how that would go. The images make the crown xli class ab amps look like toys and these ones are cheaper!!!! Is it a scam?

Wassup big d wiz....do u rebuild amps that are broken???

Would you sell the 4ch?

Nice

Smashed 👍🏾

Did you make this video just to make us jealous BigD? Well mission accomplished

could have run the 4 channel bridged 2ohm.

Dude, it’s barely drawing amperage, and the efficiency????? Give me some.

Look like the rubicon series amp

looks well made glue and heatsiks

Do it bump though? Lol, this question should be answered each video.

Nakamichi NKTD 1000.1 incelermisin lütfen

Msrp $500 and don't even hit rated... I've seen amps under $200 that exceed rated, have a higher S/N ratio. Big fail. Good on them not bothering selling them and tarnishing their brand. Surely they could make something decent at the $500 price point... many companies do.

Do you actually live in Williston North Dakota Derek

Willy you need realy do a dyno on the conzus line amps Allen dant,s used to set world record see if they realy are what they say to be down to 10 volts still no thd. Clipping and still making power I orderd one a 5k conzus but the 15ks and 15 of them is the loudest recourded spl vehicle on earth at 184 dbs and it's rumors to be able to achive 188 dbs if need be to continue to hold it wow be nice see what the SMD saise and with budget friendly prices to boot $479 5 ks and a tone of protective goodies inside what u big domy do this amp before next dummy does it

You must have Hugh hands. That amp was giant till you got a hold of it

I believe those are the most generic Chinese looking amps I have ever seen. I wouldnt be proud either....

no way for us to get our hands on these ? how many were made ?

Like and comment while the ad plays then watch the video

Seem ok, but not sure the value is there? Seem pretty pricey for what you get

Big d with the porno music 🎶 lol

Seems like the 4ch is very worth it

Looks like Clean D

Better to run two 4 chs then 1 and 1.

Looks like the new D'amore amps

The beginning of the end, another one bites the dust.I have seen this story before.Another American company sells out to cheap Chinese labor. They should call these amps "UnTru". If I want a Chinese amp, I will buy a Boss from Walmart. They work fine, and you can buy one for $100, you could even scribble out where it says Boss, and write "TRU" with a sharpie.I have never bought a TRU amp, nor ever will I....I feel sick. TRU can build a cheaper amp here in the USA, maybe not as cheap as the Chinese can, but they can employ Americans, and maintain integrity.Very disappointed.
