@@PacmanBasshead I bought a 1200 watt 12 volt Chinese power suply on Amazon for about $75, added a used car battery as a buffer and am running a 1000 watt monoblock amp and a 600 watt 4 channel amp off it, not full volume cause I like my hearing just fine thank you very much
I have no idea why some random guy on the RU-vid popped up on my feed, but my life is now marginally better for it! Now going through your blacklist of stuff to try and elevate what is a dull Saturday night. 👍🏻 Keep up the good work my friend, you have an additional subscriber!
I made it to 50 without growing up, now I don't have to. Seriously, it's the dumbest thing I've ever done. Playing around with interesting things and learning in the process is the way to go.
Don't listen to hate/bad comments, bruv! You are amazing and i love your energy! You're a good man and your content is great! People like that guy are just mad at their own life so just keep doing you! Much love and BIG UP!
Thanks for sharing your video! Look at all them Opamps that could be swapped out! LOL! Most likely the NE5532 dual channel Opamps, and NE5534 single channel Opamps. I purchased a $40 chi-fi tube preamp a while back. But after I swapped out the tubes with a matching pair of JAN 5654W tubes ($16 matching pr), and after swapping out the NE5532 dual channel Opamps with the Sparkos Dual Discrete Op Amp SS3602 ($165 for the pair). Which could have made for a very expensive chi-fi POS. However, I thought that if the build of the chi-fi product was well made, and made with good decent parts It could be worth swapping out the opamps, along with the tubes, and IT WAS! To buy something that could come close sonically to this little chi-fi preamp now would cost $500-$600 to replace on the market. This type of opamp rolling, or tube rolling isn't for everyone. Only the more critical listeners of music/audio would generally venture into tube rolling, or opamp rolling although very easy to do. May be fun to try.
I would seriously suggest hot-ridding an old computer power supply for a larger 12V power supply. Generally, the green wire on the 20/24 pin connector simply needs to connect to one of the black ones to trick it into powering on, and the yellow wires are 12V.
I’ve found that the issue with all the cheap equalizers is noise picked up from the car’s electrical system. In my most recent car audio build ( three years ago ) I needed to use an equalizer because I just didn’t have the time to learn how to properly do DSP. I bought three different units that cost from 50 to 100 U.S. dollars. All three ended up with varying levels of noise that defeated all my best efforts at elimination. I finally settled on the Audiocontrol Three.2 , the only dash mountable high quality equalizer available at the time. It has less equalization bands but zero noise issues and a 13 volt peak output.
Oh interesting, 13 volts is insane though! I didnt have any issues with noise with this one i must admit. Dsp's are the way forward for certain though, eq's are good in a pinch
@@PacmanBasshead I've been in the hobby for 30+ years and I really wanted to go dsp this because audiocontrol has good equipment but time just didn't allow as the car is my commute vehicle. I will be upgrading to dsp next spring.
Loving the videos mate….. u crack me up! May i suggest using an ATX power supply to run your car amp or anything else you having using 12V. It can provide up to 40amps depending on the power rating. I use 2 x 750w rated units to test car amps / stereos etc, and use the 5V output to charge lithium batteries. Keep up the good work! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great video man, thats exactly what I do . In a sense I’m always taking electronics apart and trying to make sense of it all. I’m just your hobby/club disk jockey so I can appreciate your input. I’m trying to make an amp myself so any suggestions would be greatly helpful! DJ-E-MOBILE
Honestly, your time will be lost trying to beat whats on the market nowdays! The r and D in amps is mental and i really would find something you like and stick with it. Ive tried and i couldnt get past the signal in section lol.
This is the guy that randomly made me find cheap audio equipment (i use Amazon & AliExpress tho bc selling ny phone number isn't something i want to do...)
Quite an interesting device, faffing about with the built in equaliser on my head unit is quite finicky. Being as you're using a phone - which generally doesn't have an equaliser this is probably a great upgrade. With the last few videos, you've proven that they can all replace a head unit in the car anyway. Thanks for being funny and informative.
@DISCOSHOEBOX head units are largely redundant now days with the quality of bluetooth, all a head unit is is a volume knob, a cd player and a built in amp, all of which can be replaced at a 10th of the size!
Absolute golden Channel my friend. Love the content. Keep up the good work, please keep the videos coming and something I always tell myself in times of adversity,,, the path of the righteous man, was beset on all sides, bla bla bla. Bang Bang!
i’m just gonna say this, there’s a 4000 watt “blaupunkt” branded amp on temu for like 30 or so AUD , i’ve got one but haven’t tested it out yet cause i’ve got no speakers, would be cool to see on your channel though
Oh come on i just ordered one of these what a coincidence 🤣 I'm hoping it will solve my clipping issue. I'm running a car amplifier that does 950w at 2 ohms indoors with a 14v 100a switching PSU and 2 4 ohm 300W R.M.S subs wired in parallel for 2 ohms. I noticed that it clips quite easily well before the subs even get rated power. I have an Aiyima Tube pre-amp for the input and my friend is suggesting that that is potentially the issue causing the signal to clip. But even using a signal straight off my phone results in the same problem. Unfortunately i don't have an oscilloscope to properly set my gains. I have it set to a little less then half. I wish i wasn't broke so i could afford an oscilloscope but this was dirt cheap so i thought I'd get it 🤣 Otherwise the setup is super clean before the clipping point. I'm not 100% sure what could be causing this. PSU voltage doesn't drop below 14.2 under load. I'm hoping to find a solution soon maybe this product will solve it. Really hope it wasn't just more waste of money because even though it was cheap i would hate to loose 25$ like that 😂
So the AIYIMA' rails will clip a lot earlier at lower voltage. Your clip is likely because you are hitting the rails, rather than signal input. You need a more powerful amp 😊
@@PacmanBasshead I remember selling them new in magazines, and then I saw the jbl crown but like most money stood in the way. Ironically every Harman product from that point that I've owned blew. From Infiniti kappa 255a 5ch amp to Harman kardon flagship avr-8000. Win some lose some lol.
Yes you absolutely can, in theory, as long as the line throat is the correct size for the moving area of the woofers, you can use 100 woofers BUT they need to be NEXT TO each other or theyll load weirdly in the line.
I don't understand a damn because I don't speak English but these videos are great!! + I'm planning to buy a passive crossover and my question is, are they good for audio? Or is it better to buy an amplifier with a subwoofer output included?
Cheers Adam for another great video, i got a question, what are those 2 subs on your shelves, with those big terminals sticking out? The biggest one of them all :D
Thankfully it wasnt my real dad haha, he loves me headbutting the table and is brilliantly supportive! The 10am bus to the bowls club comment did make me laugh though!
Thanks. Loving the channel, a great mix of technical theory, practical application with cheap crap and not too serious. ❤ I wouldn’t be surprised if this stuff comes out of the same factory as the average electronics brand.
Seems that you have some parasitic oscillations occurring in the comments. Just need to filter that sh!t out Adam! Ignore all the clipping and harmonic distortion, as you are perfect in direct mode! 😎 Great demo of a piece of gear that seems to have all but disappeared from most audio systems these days.
Good old JBL I still got my GT5-A604’s and the GTO607c’s and GT5-12’s i think early 2000s jbl was the best compared to now what do you think sure it’s still good but idk it’s different
My dog completely ignored the 6kHz tone. The cat, however, woke up, looked quizically at the speakers, and ran up the stairs. I don't think he liked it very much 😂
I need something that completely cancels out 250hz, i few cars with after market speakers with pretty good speakers and allways that frequency sounds horrible
@@PacmanBasshead it's a music player on steroids, it literally has everything and doesn't even cost a single dollar on play Store and also comes with a 30 day free trial (don't need credit card or anything, one time payment)
my amp is 80w per channel and only 8omhs and i cant blow a 16ohm speaker could you tell me why i cant blow the 16ohm speaker also congrats on 10.1k and i would love to join the coemption and try to use scarlet fire otis mcdonald its non copyright
Thanks for the music heads up! So your amp will put out half the power at half the ohms, so chances are you just need more power to get it going right!
i was waiting for you to point out that the device ist NOT a parametric eq and you explaining what parametric means. Unfortunately you did not. Thats a missed opportunity, sadly. I thought you would be more about educating people, aside of being really funny. Dont get me wrong, i enjoy watching your stuff, its entertaining af but please put a bit of education in as well when its due, like in this case when the print on the device/ box tells a straight out lie. 🙂
