1200 watts for $56.99! - To good to be true? Cheap amp tested: SMD AD-1 Amplifier Dyno

Wow! I thought 400rms lol that's terrible

Great video man

Big

Ole

Shit

Sandwich...

perfect slogan!

Now,... Get "output" by using the "clamp" methog...., and lets see how far off that method of testing is VS the dyno....... ?????

These shitty amp companies need to just start putting 100,000,000 watts on all the amps. Its no different than them putting 1200 watts on it. We need a shit amp specific bench press thread. To call out all thse junk amp companies the the huge wattage claims

And what amp is that?

I'm surprised by how many people are surprised by the results. Lol.

Cant wait to see other known popular amps dyno'ed...

This will end a lot of controversy...

Side note: The maximum theoretical power that an amplifier could produce at full clipping (square wave) is double the clean RMS. In the real world it is usually about 30-50% more. So an amp that does 50 watts per channel clean could put out 65-75 watts clipped and distorted to hell. However, the peak SPL wouldn't increase by this same amount, if at all.

i doubt you see 10K and i doubtyour voltage is always at 14.4 or higher...

[TonyD'Amore]

The only exception I've ever seen is the T15kW because the power supply's ridiculous capabilities. The power supply can deliver over 200,000 watts for 1 second, or 2 million watts for 100 milliseconds. It would do 16,000+ clean and 26,000+ fully clipped

Actually... I was being conservative. It's more than 10k. And yes... my voltage is fine.
