WillistonAudioLabs Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 $229 for 3000 watts sure sounds like the deal of the century! These Timpano amps have been showing up lately online and at the prices and rated RMS power, they sure seem like interesting amps. Today we take a closer look at the TPT-3000EQ 1 ohm model. Unfortunately, the amp didn't survive the Amp Dyno tests, but what happened? Was this a fluke? Incorrect test? Bad design? Let's take a closer look and find out...

PC Principal Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 It would be quite scary to have an amp do that inside your car. I think Ill avoid that brand. 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser RF Power T1000 BDCP RF Punch 400-4 2 P2D4 12's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToNasty Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 There has been a ton of talk that this test was done wrong. People saying it's a full range amp. So it should have been tested at 100 or so and higher. I'm not defending this amp as I'd never use it but why maybe that's something to look into ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyone is saying it doesn't count in sub frequencies. ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolarbilz Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I don't think it was the 40hz that hurt it it was the 330 amps it pulled that made it smoke.i believe BigD said no overload protection.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People saying it's a full range amp. So it should have been tested at 100 or so and higher. I'm not defending this amp as I'd never use it but why maybe that's something to look into Here are my thoughts on this. The amp is sold as a "3000 watt" amp and NO mention of mid/highs use. How many people buying these are using them for mids/highs? Probably less than 5% of buyers here in the US. If the amp is only designed for mid/high use, then you should EXPLAIN this to the consumer CLEARLY. Otherwise stuff like this is going to happen. Timpano made a follow up vid saying the Amp Dyno couldn't measure this amp properly, but they didn't get into the why. The amp puts out a lot of noise and distortion making it almost impossible to get a certified reading using this amp. They show an o'scope and say the signal is clean. You can't see THD on an o'scope and in many cases can't see clipping until it's too late. The worst thing to do here is to blame the person testing the amp. Take the data, make the amps better and let's try again. Oh yeah, maybe think about some overcurrent protection?
