This is gonna blow every audio application away! You are my generation’s Albert Einstein 😲👍 keep up the great work. Any eta on when your gonna blow everyone away with these EV amps?
Perfect use-case for these in my boat. I have a small generator running that charges my batteries at approximately 15 amps. Sometimes I'm at a deficit with the music loud. I'm looking forward to getting one of these to run my subs.
You Mr. DAmore? You got the dream job. Making gear that just works. Thanks to your DD-1, I have been using it to test Headinits , DAC's, and so much more. Yea, there are a lot of other ways to do it. But you made it easy, and in a great package. I'm also impressed by the amps you helped bring to life and other gear I use. Do you think you could talk about SINAD of the amps? And maybe point to what amps to use for a great front stage? Maybe how you would go about making a great setup for your car? I know there is a lot out there. But it would be cool to hear it from you and go over it in a less technical way like steve does to make it easy to understand. Well at least the important points. Maybe even go over drivers selections on budget to high end parts etc. It would really help a lot of us to find out what direction is best. Your amps are cool and all. And great that they are efficient. Lots of power too. But it would be nice to have your thoughts on Dynamics. Imagining. Sound quality. Etc. Thank you Mr. Damore! Keep up the great work!
Dr. D'Amore, Current Averaging is your Cash Cow. Every manufacturer will be begging to license your patent for the future. I would advise you to pitch this on Shark Tank.
Are you thinking its magical? It is basically an amp with a built in battery bank. So no magic, just good engineering. It will not make financial sense to everyone, but it will have a small market for those that need it.
@@JasonWW2000 seems pretty cool to me, and, you havent done it, nor anyone else. Seems pretty cutting edge to me. But ive only been into car audio for 30 years, so, I'm kinda a pleb.
@@96kylar It's very cool. I personally have not done it, but I'm not an engineer so I'm not sure why you mention that. I don't know if it has been done before. It might have been. I have not done any research into it. If you've been into car audio for 30 years, same as me, then I would not consider yourself a pleb. I'm sure you know more than the average person. Don't be so down on yourself. 👍
@@Old_Sailor85 meaning when the amp isn’t putting out max power, like in between beats of a song, maybe it’s only putting out 25% of max power. At that level instead of it being 80% eff like a standard Class D, it might be only 20% eff. But during this time it doesn’t need high efficiency since the current draw is low. That’s what this tech does, it long term averages the current draw.
Mr. DAmore, I was considering purchasing the E400.4 for my four door speakers and the E1500.1 for two shallow 12" subs with passive radiators. On my last build I had Rockford fosgate AB four channel on the doors and a Rockford Fosgate class d powering the subs. I had the ability to mount a separate AGM battery in my old 4runner, one for the stereo the other for the 4runner itself. My question is should I incorporate a separate battery using the E400.4 and E1500.1 in my civic, or will the single agm battery for the car be enough for the DAmore amps?
Tony.... I am an intermediate basshead who just came across your brand through Steve Meade's channel. I am looking for a powerful, clean 4 channel amp to power (eventually) 4 6.5s and 2-4 tweeters. Should I go with the 500.4 or wait for the 700.4? Can I run 8 4 ohm speakers on either one??? THANK YOU!!! Still learning a lot, obviously...
Tony, can you talk about how these constant current amps compare to a person who is using a separate lithium battery bank and normal amps? It's a similar concept. Are you going for a certain group of people who maybe don't know much about building a lithium battery bank? Your amps are less complicated and easier to install, etc... Who are your CC amps aimed at? The extreme sound quality guys maybe?
Now I've watched the video, I see you have a power supply between your battery and the amps power supply. That is a definite advantage over using a separate lithium bank. Your amps will output consistent power while the people using a lithium bank will see voltage dips under load resulting in less power. Can you talk about other advantages/disadvantages that you see?
The audio industry uses scientifically correct terms, measurements, and standards, and it also just makes up its own to describe things that may be audio-specific but they are not technically correct. Prime example: The term RMS Power. In science, electrical engineering specifically there is no such thing. That term doesn't make any sense. Though we use it anyways to try to differentiate between true unclipped sine wave power, and another term we've created called "Max Power" which just means how much actual power is present no matter how clipped and distorted it is. By mathematical definition, a square wave contains twice as much power as a sine wave of the same voltage amplitude. Now that we understand that the audio world makes up definitions, another example is how the term efficiency is used. The actual definition is ((POWER OUTPUT / POWER INPUT)* 100) = Efficiency % Your statement assumes that if the power isn't coming out it must be turning into heat. Your statement also assumes that all output power must come from the input power. Both of these assumptions are incorrect when it comes to the operation of this amplifier invention.
@@DAmoreEngineering "237 percent efficiency" LOL. Violates the law of conservation of energy. You can't get more power out of a system than you put in.
@@basspig no it doesn’t. It’s the law of conservation of ENERGY. Energy = power*time. Efficiency is a measurement of power in / power out. Time is not a factor.
@@nismotony The only way you could get more power OUT would be if you store it in capacitors and release it all at once, similar to how a flash capacitor for photography works, but that's only looking at it from a narrow frame of time. The total kWh in can never be exceeded by the total kWh OUT.
@@basspig it uses energy stored within lithium cells, it can put out up to 6x the power it takes in. For duration it can do 2x the power it takes in with a continuous sine wave for over a half hour. This is enough capacity such that with the dynamics of music it always maintains a charge
This is just bannanas! Wizardry,, i got to know how it works. Massive caps? I heard you say battery so is it lithium or LTO? Tony, i gotta know, and of course your clamps dead! My amm-1 usually is too and I dislike the auto turn off on it lol.
Okay. I'm going to start saving..lol. I'm currently running your E series amps. I want more power, but don't want to have to upgrade the electrical infrastructure.
So you using an internal battery in the amplifier and limiting the current input to the amp to charge up the battery to get those figures, makes no sense otherwise :)
Not sure what's up with the numbers, but this isn't true. If it were, then D'Amore must be the smartest person ever to live, since D'Amore found out a way to get more energy out than put in. What's he using, fusion?
Your latest video just isn't funny (in my opinion). People respect you for your past achievements and knowledge. This is why I subscribed to your channel. Poking fun at what I assume is your new amp, just seems wrong. I'd rather get good, straight honest information. Take care. 👍
Thanks for your input @JasonWW2000, I can understand how it wouldn't seem funny without the background on the video. This is a famous engineering joke video going all the way back to the 1940s. Search "retro encabulator" or "turbo encabulator"
calling it "over 100% efficient" is a stretch as it still sources everything from the vehicle (it just sources the energy in an extended time), you lose this extra energy as soon as the internal energy storage depletes? what's the actual benefit? assuming that no one will push that kind of power for an extended time?
The benefit is insane efficiency when it is needed (at high power), crappy efficiency when it doesn’t matter (low power). This lets us put thousands of watts into a golf cart or side by side without any electrical system upgrades!
What's the benefit?? Lol... jesus. Edit- and "no one will push that kind of power, for a extended time" Guess you dont know some of us very well, do you? Not to mention, that comment right there, works FOR the boards favor. Your stretching the amperage draw over time. Its fucking brilliant.
@@96kylar say we're at a party blaring music for an hour or more, can we push dynamic power from music (as we know it fluctuates dramatically so saying "max power" is a stretch) for the entire duration without having to lower the sound and wait for the internal storage to recharge?
@@DAmoreEngineering what if you deplete the internal energy storage and you didn't have the electrical system supplying the amp up to par to handle the full power of the amp? just go into protect due to low voltage?
@@archiedentone5950 the amplifier is running at 2 ohms resistive per channel, all 4 channels simultaneously. The input is 1kHz or 40Hz continuous sine wave. The output is a clean undistorted, unclipped sine wave.
