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

[HatersGonnaHate]

Choo choo, here comes the thread derailment train. Yes he uses caps, yes he gets loud, yes his voltage is stable. Why? He knows what he's doing and how to use his equipment.

Now, back on topic, for the love of fuck.

I think this is the first time I've liked a post, lol

[HatersGonnaHate]

I think it is too haha

[brendanthekid]

boss amps are the best amps they can do 1200 watts!

lol jk they suck

[bighossf150]

Just like the title says - i recently bought an amp at a local electronics store. It was too good to be true. I bought it with the mind set of some kid who might see the big ass "1200 Watts" on the box and buy it, hoping to dominate the BLVD. For 56 bucks, lets put it to the test! Actually, you might be surprised! Video is uploading right now, lets hear some guesses before i post the link.

also, i know you guys might know the brand by the way it looks but i blocked out the name, to be a nice guy.

Any guesses while i wait for it the video to process?

LMFAO those rca's are worth more than the amp.

I would like to see some Sony amps! I bet Sony 1200w amp will do about 500. Go buy one:)

[ToNasty]

has nothing to do with this but what is the temp gauge hooked up to?

[E a r t h]

I think every amp and amp company like the one tested should be put on blast. Fuck them for fucking everyone who spent some coin on garbage like that.

The way I see it is, .... they need to be "eighty-sixed"

[scoobywrx05]

Isn't that like false advertisement for companies to put unreal wattage ratings on their amps. I guess ya need to test how much voltage you need to put to that amp to either make it smoke or do 1200 Watts. Maybe your suppose to run it on a 24 volt system. Lol

And what amp is that?

B2 M1

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

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

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

umm...yes its rated more than 10K at 16Volts....but they take a big amount of energy for the amp alone to get it going at full power

It's underrated. And I use caps. I have no amperage or voltage concerns.

for real bro? CAPS? you need a couple of good batteries for that monster of an amp and a HO Alternator...oh wait...you dont need that...you use caPS

Don't think you know who he is or what he means by caps lol.

Back on topic. .

Can I send you an old pyramid amp I have laying around. Would love to see what it does
