I have this masterpiece hanging on my wall, like the art it is. Wasnt easy to hang it up though😅

The low power supply switching frequency is because of the circular layout. In order to fit the number of mosfets needed, the circle needs to be quite big. If you fill up that circle with one transformer of a size that nicely fills up the hole, it will be quite big. Because of its size, its magnetic resonance frequency will be lower. It will need a lower switching frequency for operating at peak efficiency. Looks awesome. Power supply section is probably supposed to symbolize a crown. Just one flaw in this amp. It really needs thru-hole gold-plated headers and pins for its boards.

Your welcome for the manual bro, good job by the way. Have a good one sam.

Great video !!!! Who would have thought 20 plus years in a 2004 amp I would consider “Old Skool” 🤣. I’m getting old

This is really cool for you to go through the circuit in such detail...I have just received 2 crown 4000 pa amps for service from around the same era and having a quick look under the hood it looks like the output section is similar possibly using an identical drive card arrangement with the plugin boards/headers....so I'll be definitely checking out the connectivity of this headers. If I didn't view your vin I possibly wouldn't have them under scrutiny!!! Thanks for your work and great synchronicity too...

Wow! Now that’s an amplifier. Looks beautiful and innovative and clever and functional.

Thank you for covering this special amplifier.

Great job Sam! I can't wait to see the demo.

That's a monster of an amplifier, but my god it looks like such a pain to work on

Oh how interesting it will be to hear your thoughts on high power high quality vs high power low quality designs! Great content sam.

Thanks for your videos, Sam. I have learned a lot!

Dude. Your smart. If you made an amp…., I’d buy it.

These come up now and again on forums or eBay for a good price.... good compared to the 6 grand MSRP when they were new. A bit of a white elephant though really. A beast of an amp for sure but overly complex and when it breaks there's not may people who can repair them, fewer who can get some of the proprietary parts that may be required to fix, and by all accounts it can be extremely labor intensive. I owned one for a while and when it broke it cost me nearly 1200$ to repair (200$ shipping each way plus the fix).

This amp is such a legend

Finally Sam, You pulled Your finger out Your arse ! It's only been over 14months since I've sent You the service manual for it :)

Yesss, hurry and post the next video of this monster hooked upp!

There's one of these for sale here in NZ, in brand new condition & only 1 owner who used it as a display piece in his car audio shop when they were first released, i can remember being one of the first to see it in person, i was horrified at the price tag though.

Dang, m8. Reckon this might be your best video yet. Good stuff! Looks like you went back to the pops' place and are workin' on this thing in your old workshop. Bad ass!

Great video bro. It’s cool your pops is helping you. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Sam! I just FINALLY picked up the last piece to the pair last week I now have the 3000 and 6000, havnt dared to try powering them up yet, im scared to due to this whole crap of how complicated they are...

Talk about playing the long game... makes me think of EXO'S bass van build. Can't wait to see it play in the van and hear your opinion on high power vs sq

love your service info.

Wow I’m glad I found 1 2 or 3 years ago lol I still haven’t used it was in a jbl demo vehicle with 6 jbl gti 15s wich I have aswell!

Woah that's a beast of amplifier

New subscriber, this is the content we need! I'm searching best price/sound-per dollar. Help us find the hidden gems. Avoid the wrong traps etc. Williston Audio type format except with a slightly less in depth for length. Distinguish differences among them, things you like or hate. Keep it up!

Why doesn’t this vid have more views?!?

Freaking historic engineering.

Love the video... Just shows off your in depth knowledge of amplifiers and electronics Part of me is sad this is a customer amp and not yours

COFFEE AND THIS NICE CONTENT.....

Sam u need to build some “Sams audio buildhouse” amps. I’d buy them and pretty sure everyone else is car audio world would to.

we sure got what we asked for regarding the detailed overview of the circuit. sad the heyday of crazy amplifiers was 20 years ago. hoping for a new topology or breakthrough in amplifier design. maybe an amp takes advantage of the back emf as an extra source of power. like your non-repair videos for your audiophile layman

waiting for the continuation tks

I have a JBL w12gti in my car. This would play very nicely

Thank You!

Monster amplifier

Very good content Sam!!

I'm waiting for the 10k amp comparison :)

Man you got the life you get to build the badest Mopars and got look for them like dinosaurs 🦕 lol keep it up love the videos

The safety switch is a Reed relay

Today someone is there with you,to record a video

A true work of art ! Was this amp a collab between JBL, and Crown ?

*2 amplifier circuits, not 4. There are a pair of inductors per channel.

i cant believe an amp that expensive didnt have coating over the underside to prevent shorts like this

Would it be detrimental to the amp, if one were to dial back the OL and UL and turn it all the way down. when I was adjusting those on the 3000, there seem to be a fine line where the amp would start to draw a lot more current. This was even when no signal was passing through it....

Great video man. Was a lot to it. Listen I got that linear power 5002 out of storage and a powered it up and there's something wrong with it it you can hear it when you first connect the 12 volt turn on and it usually goes like ping and then like it powers on. Well it's not doing that it does that every once in awhile it turns on sometimes it doesn't turn on sometimes until you connecting disconnect and connect and disconnect and connect and disconnect the remote turn on then sometimes it Powers up what's the problem? I love you take a look at this amp looks great man I can take a picture of it and send it to you

Would it make a difference if their were 2 or 3 inputs for power or swapping the 1/0 ga. connections for let's say, 2/0 or 4/0 gage inputs. Even changing the rca's to the "Tiffany style" and speak outputs to 4 gage? #justwondering 🤔

why are the newer class D amps do much more compact... is it from higher amperage mosfets? I am somewhat confused as to how that has happened..

Mmaaannnn... 5 months later... & still no demo of this masterpiece🤨😞

@Barevids i have a Beyma RL 3600 with a blown Fet in the output stage, unit powers on normally no protection.. I brought it to a shop and he identified the blown Fet..Came home took the amp apart myself and found THREE!! different types of Fet's The originals seem to be Toshiba SC5200 and some KTC mixed in, my question: Can i replace all the Fets with original Toshiba's?? And maybe can you point me to a video where you did a repair on output with measuring? You would help me a lot.. Apparently Atomic made an amp almost exactly like the Beyma RL 3600 does anybody know how i can diagnose this amp?

good morning!!

Do u know what would cause 2 channels in an amplifier to fight each other?

Toroidal transformer on a car amp is incredibly unique, want an amazing piece of tech. Definitely not something you'd see now days.

my money is on jbl 6000 beats taramps 10000, i used to run 2 jbl bp300's on fosgate 200 rms, and im using a sound qubed u1, 3000 watt on a skar vxf now and not all that impressed... blew a taramps 1200 as soon as the skar hit... it had allready clipped a 1000 watt 8 to spider/lead death. rs gold still bumps burnt and torn tho :P need an amp repair, a recone, a bigger amp and a smaller subwoofer to make presents for my friend. if jbl made a 1500 wat rms amp i could afford i would be rocking that :P

Friend of mine was driving down the road and his amp let the smoke out. Alternator also fried. Question is which came first chicken or egg. How would you go about determining which fried which. He did have a pretty clean install with 0 gauge couple caps extra battery and 250 amp alternator

I wonder if you could rebuild build this amp but redesign the power supply to operate of in home power, and design a new amp chassis

Why are there a bunch of capacitors labeled OPEN in the voltage translator? If they have no capacitance why do they exist?

@Barevids What do you think of the R series amplifiers from Leshine on Alibaba especially the 5k

Man, is it a computer or analog amplifier? PCB smd, heatsinks, coolers, molex, ATX, very crazy, Following in Brazil!

I have 2 phenix gold ti amps that need repair but there is absolutely no one in Tennessee that works on car amps. No one wants to work on switch mode power.

i got an a6000gti going in my show truck

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Going to plug my video knowing that you found it useful, others might as well. It's also covers a bit on the danger of the high voltage sides. If anyone here is interested in the PA version of these amps you can see my video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtSDgZigm8yRqps.html

Hello I have 2 jbl a3000gti car amplifiers for sale and I’m wondering if anyone knows where I could sell them as they are very rare and I can not find them for sale anywhere.

@barevids, hey bro, love the channel. You've inspired me to follow down this path of circuitry and repair and I'd like to talk with you, if possible?

I feel.like you could use newer stronger MOSFET caps and so on to crank out even more power and get a longer life out of it

blooddyy elll

Man I went to test my jbl 6000 and it is giving the code ( E opt ) very disappointed I paid good money for my amp but I never tested it

I have the gti14001 is that amp the same ?

Send me the manual please

you need to buy linus's ratchet screwdriver lol
