The Sundown full bridge also get a lot of hate here in the States. I think most of the full bridge haters here in the States have simply just never owned a Brazilian or full bridge amp. Don't get me wrong their are plenty of people here in the States that love Taramps too.

Man, that test at the end is the truth in ability and durability. If she was gonna pop, that should have done it. My smart 3K had been nothing but exceptional, tough as nails, protect light for the clipping indicator and all. Not just in the lane's either. Literally tough as nails in my experience, looks like this should be on par in that department. I've built some recent mid level setups with the stetsom and taramps, and they have not been noisy, blown up, or any problems at all. I'm doing a smaller build now with another set of stetsoms, the value for the $ is great. There's cleaner and better out there, surely, but bang for the buck? Brazilian isn't bad at all. User error is usually the culprit for blown equipment. I've played with too many of them, and haven't been disappointed yet. Maybe I'm lucky. They are small, make big power, and fits in small budget installs with space constraints nicely. Anyway, appreciate what you do for da peeps man, I'll be sending this video to a couple people that like loud, as this is one hell of a solid deal! 6k rated, clean, for $500 is nuts!

And power needs Volts (as well as Amps), so whatever you can do to minimize voltage drop between your battery and amplifier will improve performance.

I remember the early Brazilian amps going up in smoke pretty easily, and the micro-controllers used in them were not easy to get. Being I grew up repairing amps, I didn’t like the idea of running an amp I can’t get parts for. I don’t want to jump through hoops or have a paper weight in the event it blows up, or have to ship off to an authorized facility. I was considering a Taramps Smart 5 a while back, was thinking of selling some old amps I've had for years, but I felt it wasn’t worth the risk. Seemed the Brazilian amps always put out decent power, that was never the issue, just longevity / reliability wasn’t good on them. Maybe the Taramps are different.

Hmmm.... maybe you can use that amp to track down and eliminate all the rattling in your test area. Oh wait, you'd be left with an open field. You know, even with its efficiency, that amp is capable of drawing more than some stock alternators can put out. It's possible to drain your battery with that amp even at 60mph. Of course, if that's what you're doing, your money might be better spent getting your hearing checked out. Alternatively, if you work it right, you might be able to do some arc welding with that amp.

That's why when running something that can put out what this can. You NEED a proper electrical system. Lithium battery, upgraded alternator, proper wiring and installation. Otherwise go smaller.

@2slofouru2 жыл бұрын
I doubt it, you never hear people who understand SQ respond or explain in realistic terms. I have seen videos on KZfaq and several people have mentioned them not sounding good for some reason, even with high power output. I have a soundstream that's dyno'ed over 5000wrms by another KZfaq channel and it's very similar to the taramps design even though shaped differently. My theory is these full bridge amps create power at whatever frequency band the amp deems easiest to produce it at. It's just a theory, but I've sold and installed thousands of amps over the years, and have ran several different types in my own vehicles. If you try an older American class a/b amplifier with no crossover and then try one of these full bridge amps with crossover off, using the deck crossover only, you may find the bass output below 50hz drops significantly. It's as if they design a non defeatable digital crossover into the power supply modulation circuit, to prevent the amps running their full output with flat response down to subsonic frequencies. Just a theory, but that would explain how they're making the power without going up in flames. May also explain why you see people running 30 amps like this in one spl vehicle. I mean, how many hundreds of thousands of watts are needed to run 10-15 subs? 😆
