Datasat doesn’t just make equipment, that’s the parent company of DTS, one of the biggest innovators in cinema sound. They make the audio codec that a lot of your movies use for sound

@wal Год назад

Yes and I don't believe this product is an "official" DATASAT product. I'm waiting to hear back from them

@slycordinator Год назад

Datasat isn't the parent company of DTS. Datasat is DTS' old cinema division. In 2008, DTS divested themselves of their cinema division, forming the separate company DTS Digital Cinema. In 2009, it was purchased and renamed Datasat. DTS' parent is Xperi (a tech holding company).

It’s the same irs2092 iraudamp circuit used in many name brand amplifiers out. Great little amp, the ps fets and output fets are cheap and available. The irs2092 is unavailable right now for the average joe, but should hit the market again soon. Great amp that you could keep going for a long time with low repair costs when needed.

Datasat is the new owner of the DTS digital film sound patents. The AP25 was one of the last film cinema sound processors produced. Datasat still provides some support for legacy DTS film equipment, including the DTS-6, DTS-6D, DTS-6AD, and layer processors and film timecode readers. They also cover the DTS decoding on home audio equipment.

@BlenderRookie 2 года назад

What a silly move for them to copyright infring datasat. They could have developed their own brand and word of mouth at that price and performance would have made them fairly popular, especially among the financially strapped.

@the_dark_defender 2 года назад

One must remember that companies that steal intellectual property and/or falsely market their products under another company’s brand name are looking to make as much money as quickly as possible, not the longevity of their business. They price their products very cheap to make a profit by selling a lot of units quickly before they are shut down. Then they start over again using a different name. Since they have stolen the intellectual property of another company, they do not have the expense of research and design. It is very common for Chinese companies who have been commissioned to build a product for a brand to make more of the product than the original brand ordered and then sell the exact same product at a lower cost undercutting the original brand.

@mysock351C 2 года назад

Given that its China, the whole thing is a ripoff from top to bottom. Its likely some company linked to the CCP wholesale stole the designs from a legitimate budget company that was manufacturing there, and decided to roll some knock-offs with the blatant logo thievery to put the cherry on top. Easy to make stuff for cheap when all you have to do is just bring a thumb drive to someone else's business. No R&D costs or anything like that. Edit: Basically a TL;DR of what he said ☝Still, its one reason I would like Dereck to show discretion in reviewing these types of amps and ensure they are at least a real company first. Giving some bootleg company good publicity just reinforces their profits and keeps the scam going.

@gregsuarez5205 2 года назад

China is where they are today because they steal. Almost all electronic components are manufactured in China . This is all supported by their government. If you design a product in some other country then send it to China for manufacturing, guaranteed, your design has been compromised/stolen. Countries should send their manufacturing to other places . Yes it may be more expensive but weighing against the alternatives of what this communist has done and what it now has the capability to do military wise , we should stop now. It might already be too late .

@hvfd5956 Год назад

Don't know how long you have been doing this. During the late 1970's up to about 1990, a friend of mine ran a car stereo shop (still does). During that time, he built several crank it up cars. We had a design we were going to put in an abandoned Rambler station wagon, but the shopping center had it towed off before we could do it. The design was based on the speaker that a company called LTV built in the 1940's to test the microphone used to record an early nuclear explosion. One of the cars he built was for a customer with a 1970's Chevy Monte-Carlo with the long doors. The owner decided to go all in and cut the guts out of the doors and put 2 15's in each door. 4-18's went where the back seat used to be. Since there was a little space left at the top, they through in some 10 inch Gauss for the mid-bass. In the truck were 6 Harmon Kardon CA-260 amps, with all but one bridged mono. A series of 5 inch across the top of the doors and some JBL studio tweets under the dash, rounded out the drivers. This was fed by a high end Nakamichi cassette deck with computer controlled azimuth and a high end ADS for equalization. The day of the contest came and we all drove to Dallas for the event. We get there and the same guy who beat our car the previous year shows up with a 1960 Cadillac Hearse. 7-1500 watt amps and a - no kidding 26 inch Woofer for the low bass. 2-150 amp alternators. Even with that, it still took 14 or so Marine batteries, just to turn the stereo on. Yep lost again, but just barely. The winner got a mini-pickup, but more importantly for the young gentleman, he got a job! A leading amplifier company hired him as an engineer.

Interesting bit of kit there. I have a Velodyne 150W sub that I've been running for about 20 years (not continuously). It's an 8" cone in a ported case with crossover. The box it came in is long gone and I have it right next to a reflecting wall. My question is, is it as nice as I think it is? Yeah, it is fraying a bit on the cover. But it shakes the whole house. It also cost a whole lot less than current Velodyne products.

@1oneguythat Год назад

my boxes got smashed up but the one sounds decent enough, since the glue is holding up. they are cheap 12" passive speakers, so i use it in the house with a 200w car stereo (low power so a broke box isnt audible) . look at the corner of the box and see if you can pull/push the panels together. if the glue isnt holding and its loose youll hear it as the speaker flexes and shakes the box, making a god awful noise. shouldnt hurt the speaker any though. is the amp built into the speaker? might be fun to make a new box for the old active speaker. or find a prebuiltbox and fit the sub and amp into, idk.

@1oneguythat Год назад

or make a box for the amp yea? xD idk that would be sick

@1oneguythat Год назад

bro i took a piece of wood and glued it over a 12" whole. then fitted a 10" sub to said panel in place of the 12" speaker, giving it a bigger enclosure..... it sounded ok, needs a lpf though.

@Fudmottin Год назад

@@1oneguythat I should proof read better. What's gone / going is the cloth on the front. The physical enclosure is fine. The amp is built into the same box as the speaker. It puts out an amazing amount of base for an 8" with no passive driver. Although my room isn't that big, it still resonates a good portion of the house because of modern home construction. When I was in an apartment, it nearly got me evicted. LOL.

@PoXFreak Год назад

Looking back at this, I see 2 weaknesses: The power supply MOSFETs and the output choke coil. Replace the 4 Z44n MOSFETs with something a little stronger and your certified/uncertified numbers might get closer to the dynamic results. The output filtering choke looks a bit small for even 600 watts at 1 ohm considering the 30 amps of output current available.

I like the old "California Profile" Amps.. Cheaper circuits than a PPI, but same breadboard design..

@rjonzun5828 2 года назад

I love these budget amp reviews but I wish there was a way to review their reliability/longevity. Easier said than done I know.

@wal 2 года назад

That would be cool. I like when car reviewers do this since many they review for short periods so good buy what about a year later?

You could without speakers just use load resistors

@marcoperez7330 2 года назад

Easy, buy one & go full tilt on it...It's affordable enough to do so!

@Ebacherville Год назад

This amp is now back on Amazon for $70 as "Notherss Audio Systems N1"

@wal Год назад

Yeah still playing games!

@Rs3abysss1 Год назад

Nice , just picked one up brand new for 30 bucks at an auction going to power 2 punch 3 12”s with it Decided to go ahead and buy it after watching your video on it

@absalonw007 Год назад

Bought 2 one for daughter and one just because. Hooked up daughters at 1 ohm and after 3 minutes or so higher volume blew fuse twice so switched out with the just because one i had and it did the same so doesn't look like it like 1ohm. Sounded good while it played.

@kmidst_kn6329 2 года назад

At 53% efficiency isn't this thing going to get so hot that it fails some internal components? If so, then running at 1 ohm would not be safe.

@danthemansrepreviews5644 Год назад

I got mine 2 days ago...honestly my punch 601 gets waaay hotter... this doesn't get all that hot...I swear like...very touchable lol. Solid piece..I'm getting a n4 too just to keep before there gone

@TheElectronicDilettante Год назад

It’s still on Amazon but under the “Crunch “ name for same price.

@ChippyOutdoors Год назад

I have found the n4 but no luck on the n1 I'd be willing to give this go. Been years being out-of car audio butnlack of thump in my truck I'm putting one together

@gregoryhawkins9172 2 года назад

I have no idea what you're talking about. Neither does my teddy bear.

@chloeleedow7250 8 месяцев назад

The terminal side of the amp layout is quiet similar to an old Pioneer PRSD1200M I have lol

@dewey7330 2 года назад

Another great video!! I like this amp. Looks good,reminds me of the JL Audio amps. I wouldn’t use it at 1 ohm..LOL

@volvo09 2 года назад

Yeah, it's pretty darn good looking... Like a colored JL amp. It would surely be overheating running at 1 ohm!

@wal 2 года назад

Yes I meant to mention it also looks like JL XD series

@halfmeout 2 года назад

Those subs are surprising slapping

@wal 2 года назад

Slappin and Flappin

@airdreams1 8 месяцев назад

I wish I could luck onto something like this. Being on a fixed income sucks when you love having a decent sound system. Need a new amp but everything I look at is just outside my price range

@Arthur-ke9vz 2 года назад

Great video, as always

@Redmist370Z Год назад

As of August 19, 2022 they are available on Amazon. I purchased one last night . You’re just going to need to dig a little bit as they don’t come up in the multichannel amp section.

@wal Год назад

I updated both the pinned comment as well as video description 2 days ago with this info 👌

@user-cl2ls7kz7o Год назад

Love the dyno runs. Keep it up! What happens when voltage is increased to 24v does it put out more and require larger amperes fuse?

@wal Год назад

Most of these 12V amps will go into protect at 16V

@1deadly187 2 года назад

About half way through what is another great video Big D, and I'm thinking this thing is amazing for a sub $100 amp. Now I will get back to the last half of the video and see what happens..

@wal 2 года назад

Sorry it’s so long but I had a lot to cover here 😬

@gillespage5489 Год назад

LOL that App picture is my Radio Shack Boom Box from the 80's

@milescrissey1366 Год назад

Big D! I just ordered one of these off of Amazon for $70!

@swaybelly3212 Год назад

Same here! Under the name "Notherss".....

@hiscifi2986 2 года назад

Apart from being able to produce voltages and currents, does it amplify music..?

@grocerygetter100 2 года назад

Love the videos, Big D! Been a bass head since the 90s. Now I'm an electrical engineer! Are you in Williston, Florida? I'd love to see your lab and see for myself, Do It Bump Doe?!

@wal 2 года назад

Nawsa last name is my company name 😊

@TheWarped45 2 года назад

As a tech this amp is class D those IR hexfets.

@MrILLryder Год назад

Bid D! Is there by chance you could Dyno the PRV amps. I heard from a few buddies that they’re putting out a good line of amps. Appreciate all you do brother!

@ToddClemm101 Год назад

Just curious if the 30A fuses got swapped before the dyno run. I saw there were 40s in there for the reveal.

@DouglasHeyen Год назад

Haha. Noticed you upped the fuses to 40s. Was curious how it would produce the proper wattage if it doesn't have enough amps coming in. Nice review. Just goes to show you don't always get what you pay for. In this rare case you got way more.bang for your buck. Thanks for the info

@farhankhan-dh2tu Год назад

Thanks 🌹 we appreciate ur hard working and investigating on such cheap amps ... Bringing the truth to us

Thanks for watching and commenting!

@user-ti2is4yl1k 4 месяца назад

Would it push two L7 12's with the blue stitching hard?

@fattnnvxbhjnccnvvcyn Год назад

Have you done a clamp test on a Power Acoustik Razor RZ5-2500D?

@Fr33dom89 Год назад

So should I get this will it blow on me in a week, Considering not over working it ?

@anthonybrown6143 Год назад

I wish Kicker would make this same box but built for their new SOLO L7X subs.

@jtveg Год назад

Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻

@wal Год назад

Back in stock, maybe different brand. See pinned comment

@olbluetundra881 2 года назад

Dude a 1k amp for under a hundred bucks. Hat does rated power. That's impressive. Probably not the cleanest power but I bet for a budget banger it would sound good. Keep the vids coming.

@wal 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and commenting!

@circuitsmith Год назад

At that price I'd be tempted to gut it and use the pretty case for a project.

@mikei5526 Год назад

Thanks bought two

@patrickbutcherine142 Год назад

I wanna get one for my guitar setup.

@michaelblack5011 2 года назад

impressive for that what have inside , nice

@Jake-tw8qr Год назад

They just rebranded to Notherss. The N4, 2-4 channel amp is still for sale on amazon.

@joshcramer2917 Год назад

I have a few real diamond audio amps. A d5600.1, d5600.2 and d5600.4 and a d61000.1 I'd love to get put up to your dyno curious how I could get this done
