My Taramp HD8000 Review

Recommended Posts

Sencheezy, thanks for the demo at slam man. Your shit freakin hurt my chest on that dubstep song with the driver door open and the passenger door closed. Hope you get the amps figured out.

Thanks slinky!! My pleasure man. I'll have all three amps running at 4 ohms a piece now. Then later down to 2 ohms. I'll keep you posted ok. I plan on traveling to different states for some more shows.

Wired below rated impedance is a no-go for these amps. These aren't Korean. Plus, I think more Koreans popped at Slam than these. But that gets swept under the rug and forgotten about.

I think tfade shed some light on them a bit with his last review. It cost him an amp to prove it but he did get more info from the manufacturer than most. Big time language barrier

THERE IS NO BUILD LOG!

Proportionally what was it though? Not that I give a damn one way or another but i'm guessing there were many more Korean amps than the Brazilian ones right?

Yeah, I saw Tfade's test. Dropped to 11.0 volts, at a true 1 ohm resistive load. Which is comparable to wiring down to ~.25 in the real world. Was still like 78% efficient though IIRC. Then it popped. Which is absolutely retarded abusive on these amps. They will only do it for burps at the most.

He said he also tested a korean 10k versus the Tara 8k and saw no difference on the meter.

These amps "tend to go pop", and "up in flames" due to people treating them as if they were Koreans

Wiring them at .5 and shit to account for their rise.

Reason why Taramps makes 1 ohm and 2 ohm versions of their amps, some models even have a 4 ohm version to tailor the amp around your build and rise without having to wire below the lowest rated impedance to make the amp do the power that's printed on the box

I'll take the efficiency and small form factor of these amps any day. As soon as this next paycheck comes in, Im putting in a order for a HD 2500

Not sure, I know Thomas popped one. And Jon blew, or protected, 2 of his. And those were the big name guys that I know of, there were some guys here and there that also had amp issues that I saw when perusing facebook around Slam time. But don't remember exactly how many or who they were.

Moral of the story, is that koreans are blowing too. Can't just forget about that.

Edit: There were a lot of Tara guys out there though. It's been blowing up big recently on the audio groups.
