Today we'll take a closer look at Skar Audio's "high end" series of amps, specifically the SKv2-3500.1D. This is a Korean amplifier and is nearly identical in dimensions to the Crescendo BC3500.1D and DC Audio 3.5k....but is it the same amp? You'll have to watch to find out.

@danielwilliamsiii7215 6 жыл бұрын

BigDWiz one day can you make a video for dummies explaining everything like how the voltage affects your car and how many batteries you may need, and how what clipping means and what the THD, and clipping and dynamic means and what like each part of the test means and how it effects the system, can you explain that? I watch like every one of your videos and I'm subscribe but I don't understand majority of them but or what you are talking about and what it means and I tried researching it you know to Google and everything, but it you would explain it, it would make it a lot easier.

Skar did good is a good amp puts Crescendo and DC to shame with their same bored and different prices because of a name brand but the best amp out of the 5 was the Orion 4824 Watts at one ohm 1% THD the skar did not hit that number in dynamic Orion did 5800 dynamic

@gregl5677 4 жыл бұрын

@@louiemares1610 not true. The skars are inefficient. My friend dc 3.5k held over 3.5k rms with impedance rise clamped on my system. My skar dropped from 3k to about 2.3k. That is the price difference. None the less i still love my skar amps. But going to to to a wolfram next. I heard they arent inefficient. You want a real efficient amp the fosgate bdcp line is a beast. From .75 ohms to 2.5 ohms they will play over their one ohm rated. You have to remember dynos are static impedance. It doesnt account for impedance rise that you get with a sub or subs in a box. The higher end amps tend to not be effected at all by impedance rise. They are built and rated to hit above there rated with rise. While cheaper amps they see rise and can drop sometimes 500w-1000w. Most people say the same thing you say but dyno results should be taken with a grain of salt. Since your subs wired at 1 ohm will never be a stable 1 ohm. they could be rising to 2.5-3 ohms and those amps you claim are just over priced name brand will still play rated with that rise because the caps and transformers are built to store enough to keep the power up over rated. Why they are like twice the size of their cheaper counter part. So your statement is lacking information that is actually more important than just a dyno test.

@gregl5677 4 жыл бұрын

@@louiemares1610 i watch these cause i like seeing amps pushed to the limit. But its why a amp will go into protect like in this video at .8 ohms. But you will have some guy running .5 or .75 ohms and never have a issue because of impedance rise. The subs move and the amp may see 1.2-2 ohms

But as a skar owner and all my vehicle have skar in them. Dc and crescendo, sundown and fosgates dont get mixed with impredence rise in my experiences. We clamped a friends dc 3.5k to my subs, it played over 3.5k with impedance rise. My skar dropped 800w when it got into impedance rise. My skar rp 800 drops 350w with rise, compared to a sundown 1k stayed above rated. That is what you are paying for. Like the 2500 bdcp will play above 2500 between 1ohm and 2.5ohms. Where as my cheaper skars just fall on there face it goes from a 800w amp to almost a 400w amp at full tilt so it turns it into a overpriced 400w amp. Oh yeah my 12 only rises from 1 ohm to 1.6 ohms my voltage is steady and 14.2v. That is what you pay for and why those higher end amps are so big and dont put out much power. Have to take that into account. As someone who likes skar if i ever have the money to swap them all over the skars will sit on my shelves as back ups just to have. Im looking at wolframs now see how well they do on power clamped playing music. I may be ordering the 3k here soon.

Thanks for the video.. Planning on buying one of these.. Quick question for you,, as much as I hear that the gain is not a volume,, is it possible to power down at 1ohm to achieve maybe 3000 watts to match a set of speakers.. I've always been SMD set for no distortion,, instead of powering down.. I understand that 3500watts is 1750 to a set of speakers.. The speakers are say 3000 rms a pair Thanks for any input you have...

So many talk shit on Skar . I was skeptical at first but Ive had two of their amps so far and they're amazing! All I'm running for now on

Hopefully you do a review on the new autotek amps. The old school ones where monsters but are the new ones just as good for their cheap price..

Nawl yo electrical ain't together lol I have this exact amp and I'm running 0 Gauge running all the way through...a 220 High Output Alt and a D3400R Xs Power in the back and I bang it everyday and I haven't had any light dimming or amp issues it barely gets warm after hours of play time

Yeah I clamped my 1st gen sk3500.1 at 2.3ohm 13.8v it did 2,834w rms but now I have two of them strapped together on 4 Sundown SA15'S but for a while there I ran a single amp at half ohm and it never went into protect and it definitely had gobs of raw power wired into the dirt like that lol still running it today so clearly it didn't hurt anything... But I will be switching everything out this spring as I now have 4 X15D2'S and two soundqubed q-4500.1's I plan to run 1 amp to each 2 subs at half ohm for max power, byebye windshield haha

I'd be happy to own anyone of those. but I still think the orion is gonna do really badass with the way your voltage is.. but still with my setup anyone of these would be a perfect match for me.

all depends on what u wanna pay.. all these amps will do rated I'm pretty sure, if you feel they don't these companies would replace there amp if u have problems I'm sure.. all depends if you wanna pay big bucks for the name on the amp.. I currently run skar amps, and running skar subs with zero problems.. just got a 12in vxf 1500wrms it sounds great, gets low as f, on skv2.2500 @1ohm

tankdog03 shit I love skar. I got an evl 18 on a sundown 1k. got a fsx 8 and 2 6.5s in each front door. I'm wanna order a skv2 1300.2 or the 200.4 to run my doors. my 4 channel does the job ok for now.

Big d hate to throw out amp test ideas but id really like to see the new audio pipe 4k and whaT she can do .. If its really a true 4k and if it is good.. Just like seeing these budget lines tested and audio pipe been arpu d for a bit.. Thanks if you do👆👍

Either way you cut it it does rated* power even though it was just shy of the 3800. It’s well within component tolerances whether they are 5% or 10%. I’d say it’s worth it considering the fact that there are a lot of amps out there rated 2k for that price.

@howiefeltersnatch2973 4 жыл бұрын

How do I contact you about testing an amp? I can pay shipping! I run across amps all the time from a friend of mine who works at an auction business. Have an old Demon Series II Power Acoustik monoblock and a couple old Kenwood a/b's that I can't find any dyno vids for. I paid $25 for the 4000 watt "max" amp. Fuses tell me it is probably around a 1800ish watt amp tops. Just can't find anyone to dyno it. Just jumping back into car audio again and love seeing the analytical aspect I never got see when I was younger.

What would cause my skar 3.5k to clip at 2200w @46v? Blew up my subs so checked amp with oscilloscope and it's clipping past 46v but no clip light. Possible my 220amp alt? Would going full lithium bank help? If so how many amp hours? Running 2 dual 4ohm @ 1ohms
