#AmpDyno #Amplifier #Bass
These were chosen based on how amazed I was after testing the amps. Some were inexpensive amps I didn't think would make power, others were more expensive and put out crazy power. A fun list of my surprised amp dyno tests over the past 8 years.

The Orion 3k was easily the most shocking amp on this lineup. It was actually the cheapest korean amp you tested at the time. It survived the half ohm test and went on to do 10,000 WATTS!! more than rated!!! And it was $250 less than the Sundown at the time! Nothing on this list compares to how crazy that was to see

@xhuff317 3 года назад

Great vid, thank you! Takes me back to HS in the mid-late 90’s… I had one of those punch 200’s that ran bridged into 2 ohms for a while and never skipped a beat. Had a buddy that saved forever to buy an Orion 2100 HCCA and that thing was just stupid.

@seanallen1791 3 года назад

I have been bump in the slayer 3k since 3 days after your test. It convinced me to buy one and I run it about an hour and a half a day on a American bass XFL10 to see which would die first and still going strong. Happy with the purchase. Everyone is shocked its only 1 10.

I was an installer from 1994 to 2008. My first sound car was my 1988 Pontiac Bonneville with Alpine and Rockford all the way to my current 2004 Mercury Marauder with JL Audio and Eclipse. I remember the rule was usually "good amps are about $3 per watt". Almost every SPL car I built we tried to stay at 1000 watts and used cheater amps for the edge. These are INSANE!

@jdm5lughatch 2 года назад

I had a couple friends swear by the Rockford Punch amps back in the mid 90's. They would be so hot at times you literally couldn't touch them. They would almost never shut down either. Extremely impressive amps. The 90's had some of the best amps (products for that matter) and extremely high prices to boot.

@Kenmarshallintereststx 8 месяцев назад

I had several 90s models and even in high school I thought to myself this can't be good I can't even touch the thing it's so hot. Plus sitting in HS parking lot all day in Texas. No idea how that thing survived. Two jl w 3 12s now 22 years ago

And a big shoutout to the Orion XTR 2500.1 (rated 2500W @1 ohm @ 12.6v) that you did a .8 ohm burst test on that produced 7577W! That amp at the time was $375 to $400. They are strappable, so I presently own 2 of them and they became scarce for a bit of time last year, but are back on the market. It was that video that impressed me the most of them all and that is why I bought 2 in the matter of 6-8 months! You can still find them for $400 in some deep dark places on the net! LOL

I'm probably alone on this but one of the most memorable amp tests I've seen on your channel was the Kenwood KAC-M3004. Considering its size and simplicity, it far exceeded what I thought was possible within its footprint. For us Hybrid vehicle drivers, it could easily power an entire system (components & sub) without breaking the bank or pulling too much current. Awesome video!

@msh6865 3 года назад

May not be amazing (in a good way) but, IMO the most important amp dyno you have ever done was the Orion HCCA 2100. The results of that test...and the subsequent retests, we're like a huge reality check for the whole old school car audio community. While the amp didn't make the ridiculously insane power we had long believed it could, the test did dispell a ton of urban myths and proved Orion engineers weren't playing games with the published numbers in the owners manual. Hard to overvalue the truth, even if it does bruise some egos. 👍

I knew immediately the the Orion 3k would be on here. As it was the most impressive amp dyno test I had ever seen. Based on your original dyno of this amp I actually purchased it and replaced a DD audio M5. Which costs roughly 3 times as much new retail. The DD dyno at 1 ohm dynamic at 9998 according to I believe facekicker. I dropped the Orion to 3k to .5 ohm in my vehicle. I had rise to 1.5 and it didn’t even touch the M5 at 1 ohm rising to over 2. I lost over 2db. That’s a lot. And I was maintaining over 14 volts on both amps. 240ah lithium. 400 amp alt. Charging at 15.4. In the real world it did not compare to what the dyno says. I actually sold it and bought a 2nd M5 used for $1200. The Orion looked way better on the dyno. Didn’t compare in the real world. I owned it for 3 days. Of course based on your dyno test they were practically unavailable overnight and I sold it used on eBay in hours for $1000. So I made $300. Just saying. Dyno doesn’t always translate to real life reactive loads. But I certainly had fun with the whole thing. As always. Great video big D.

I just ordered the D4S JP8 two pack for my toaster and the D’Amore E750.1 for my Camry hybrid, thanks to this channel. Now I’m trying to decide between the 10” and 12” Kicker L7Ts 🤣

10s if you want punchier/crisper sound, 12s if you want more boomy sound & vibration happening.

The Black Diamomd and the Audio Control were my favorites. You helped me to buy right. But also loved the Orion test. Took me back to 1993 :-)

I thought that Soundstream Tarantula Xtreme TXP1.6000D you did a while back was pretty surprising. Especially for the price. I think I paid $150 for one right after that video. Looks friggen neat as well.

for me it was the nad 2200 you tested years ago that suprised me the most, since the video i got two of them in bridge mono running in my home audio

Surprised the Wolfram didn't make the list! That was a great video until the Orion went crazy!

My first Sub was an old school Rockford Fosgate 8" that I got second hand. My mate had it in his Citroen 2CV but it keep blowing his Vinyl soft top off 😂

Great video big D, I really think you’d be a cool Guy to hang out with and mess around with audio equipment in your lab. Thanks for taking the time to do this and educate some people on car audio.

Those Orion amps were crazy. I have the 1500.1Dz and it's amazing. Dunno why they don't make them any longer because they were badass 😎

Hi mate I love your videos, So keep up the good work! I'd love to know your thoughts on the SQ difference between D class and old AB amps. I don't know if it's just nostalgia, but I feel like the old AB power amps I had back in the day sounded a lot better than the new D class amps these days.

Now I know on some level who cares but if anybody would care maybe people here would. In 1991 I had two competition kicker 15‘s hooked up to a punch 150 the series before this punch app. And Orion 225 hooked up to sound stream reference mids and tweeters. Amazing. Thanks for what you do this takes me back.

I have that harmony audio amp I bought it on Amazon with the harmony audio 15s. The 15’s and hit pretty good for the price too. I had to re-glue one of the spiders but they still hit pretty good

I ran a punch 200 DSM on 2 JLAudio 10w6's (1.5ohms) with no issues. I have no idea how much power that thing was pushing but it was slamming.

In the 90s I was in high school and can say the Orion was no surprise! Ppl don’t know that was the hay day of sleeper amps rated at a few hundred watts pushing in the thousands! They were plentiful with punch, Orion, phoenix gold, ppi, Lanza, earthquake I mean the list is long. Back then I ran two Orion xtr 15’s and two Orion 225’s only rated at 300 watts but drop those bad boys down to .5 ohms and you were looking at almost 2k watts per amp!
