That would be video gold! And actually power wise would match up perfectly!

Nice! For y'all wondering: - at 4ohm the amp doesn't activate any of the "smart" features that limit the sine wave amplitude. The output will go all the way up to rail limits, which is why clipping and dynamic results are very similar, because the limit is a physical wall being the rail voltage. - at the lower impedances, the amp will artificially "clip" or limit the sine wave amplitude to keep the overall power across the output section to around 3k. In order to limit, it needs to read the curent drawn initially, so there is a small delay before the reduction in amplitude is applied. The slow ramp up of the clipping tests allows this to work as intended. However the dynamic burst is so quick that the amp doesn't have enough time to apply the limit before part of the first cycle of the pulse has already happened. That's why you're seeing crazy dynamic figures. For those pulses, the sine wave is allowed to briefly for a fraction of the first cycle swing to near full rail limits ignoring the smart limit feature. On paper, if we ignore internal voltage drop this would mean: 3000wrms into a 4ohm load is a 109v sine wave, so that's where the rail limit caps off at. Put the same 109v sine wave into a 2ohm load and the amp will try to make 5900w 109v into a 1ohm load it will try to make 11881w 109v into a 0.5ohm load it will try and make 23762w This would only be the case if the amplifier was able to maintain a solid 109v into the applied load without dropping voltage internally, having the supply to support it, and without overloading the components and catching fire. Obviously these numbers are outrageous and there are many factors greatly preventing this happening aside from the component limits - the smart limiter kicks in after only a fraction of the first cycle quickly ramping down the sine wave voltage so the RMS of that cycle is far lower - also there is considerable rail sag under heavy load. But the reason that the dynamic burst power readings are so high is due to the voltage of the pulsed sine wave for the first part of it being much higher than the amp wants it to be. This will cause the amp to sound a bit different to an older amp that can just make the power straight up, because when the bass hits it will slap hard asf for the first quarter second and then seem to taper off into a lower level, which may or may not be noticeable.

Good info! I would be interested to see if there is a 1/4 second voltage spike to the subs perhaps with an analog meter. I wonder if any Smart 3 owners can comment on these amps sounding any different. Only the Taramps Smart 3 line of amplifiers would ever have this anomaly (if it exists) as the other lines don't have the "smart" electronics.

@KICKER. Quad box FTW

Obviously they optimized it to run at 1ohm and theoretically still be safe. The fact it made significantly less power into 2 or 4 seems to indicate it doesn't put out even close to the same rated power into 2 ohms. Would have been nice if it could.

Kurt's, I think it would take a great ear to notice the difference in only a couple hundred watts on bigger amps like the one in video. Of course one will hear the difference when using a small amp (500, 800 or maybe even a 1200 watt) but when you've got larger amps (3k, 5k, 8k, etc & you're dealing with numbers like that it becomes near impossible to audibly notice a loss or gain as insignificant as 5% or 8%... **IMO someone truly concerned about two hundred watts or every volt & every watt would not be buying a Full Bridge amp. Seems with such a concern for each watt that they would be buying quality half bridge amp tech. Considering a solid Korean (or even American made amp, example Mmats) half bridge amp typically have great cone control, great tone/deep, low bass, stable at low ohm loads, etc. I'm not saying I don't want those extra two hundred watts, of course I would rather have them going through my speakers versus being parasitically lost to impedance. Though, I doubt I would ever notice the difference in a lack or gain of 200 watts from the 4 current subwoofer amps that I own... My Taramps Smart3, Taramps MD8000.1, Sundown Audio sfb5000 & Trauma Concussion 3000 amp. *These are just my thoughts & opinions.

However, being able to run a single sub at .5 ohms was huge for me. The new amp woke my sub up!!!! (Harmony Audio HA-ML18 1OHM). The cable included with the amp had a clip indicator though, that's a really cool addition so you can tune your system to clipping, then add a bass knob later after setting your gain and other settings. Worked great for me, perhaps not others. Edit: This little amp, at .5 ohms is absolutely amazing. Buy it.
