My Taramp HD8000 Review

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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.

It seems the moral of the story is to use an amp for what it is designed to do. Korean amps are much less subjective to abuse beyond manufacturers ratings whereas the Brazilians amps have very low tolerance for operating outside of manufacturers specs. Maybe??

The Tara's count on box rise. They ARE rated for 1 ohm, but you cannot beat on it daily at a true 1 ohm resistive load. Only nominal. The 1 ohm model will want to see I think 2 ohms or more, is what Shizzon said on Caco IIRC.

But, I like how they don't care for box rise much. Tara 8k wired to 1 ohm, rising to 2 ohm, will put out probably 6500rms still, while being more efficient and a lower THD.

Korean 8k wired to 1 ohm, rising to 2 ohm will probably put out about 4k-4.5k.

Regardless, Tara has said they are working on an separate abusive model for the US guys. That will be able to be wired into the dirt and keep on trucking.

Right people treating them like korean amps is probably the major cause of all the issues. But thats what everyones been doing for a decade now so they kept doing it. I think its too early to say how they will hold up until that info starts circulating and people stop running way below rated to try to make power

I will be using them for my current build. Two HD-8k's. And I plan to run them how they are meant to be ran. Once I got everything running I'll post up my experiences as well.

Two 8k's for $1450 shipped brand new, is enticing.

Not when you factor in the fire extinguisher needed for both amps when they pop and start to smoke
