    Thanks Big D! I wanted some bump in my Mazdaspeed3 but didn't want to take up any cargo space so this fit the bill. I had already upgraded the four door speakers and got the clarity improvement I was looking for but still couldn't hear many low notes so I sourced a Bose spare tire "subwoofer" with a 6'' sub in it from another Mazda. I used an oscillating tool to carve a rectangle shape out of the factory hard foam surrounding the spare tire to make a perfect mounting spot for the amp. The amp is connected to the factory head unit using a PAC RCA adapter that is daisy chained to an SD card adapter. I will say that the setup sounds better than it has any right to. I can definitely over power the sub but I was expecting that so I have a beefier 6.5'' unit on the way to replace the stock Bose driver. Lastly, this is the first time I have used a bass knob as there are no dedicated subwoofer controls on the factory head unit so it's an appreciated feature. Love the content, keep it coming!

    I do like the fact this has actual mosfet transistors instead of an amp chip. I never really liked amp chips. Discrete components is where the power really is, well depending on the quality. But my vote is for this amp because of that. So perhaps you can use one amp per door? Or channel? Yes in that case it would be cheaper to just buy a 4 channel amp unless you want the complication and don't care about how much $$ you spend. Hobbies and creativity can and will confuse the common folk.

    I don't care about its rated power. But 94% efficiency at full power is beyond outstanding. It's better than my customized TPA3116D2 amps running on 25 volts directly, you'd have to go with an undervolted TPA3255 amplifier with good output inductors replaced to match that kind of efficiency. The fact that it's got a voltage boosting circuit in between makes it almost unbelievable. This is a portable speaker miracle you can easily design a speaker that outperforms a JBL Partybox for a fraction of the price.

    @@blakebrockhaus347 When taking continuous DC measurements things like energy stored in the rail caps don't really matter. What you're assuming is that the reactive power in the AC signal is being wasted as heat which is absolutely true in the AC portion of amplification, but when averaged over time, like continuous RMS testing, a DC to AC conversion circuit which this power capacitor and amplifier acts like, all reactive power is converted to DC current, there's no voltage or current mismatches. I've personally investigated this with my chip amps. Whether I completely remove the input power capacitor or increase it, past the ideal size to prevent low frequency roll off the capacitor does nothing to increase the efficiency of the amplifier. I've tested from 0 farad (cap removed) to 100,000 uF. As long as the power supply and wiring don't drop voltage, and can keep up with current, efficiency is not raised. The reason is as follows; The biggest weakness with the chip style mini amps is not the power capacitor, not one single person on youtube aaddresses this but the current rating of the 2.5x5 mm barrel plug is only 5 amps. This imposes a significant voltage drop before going to the input capacitor. As we know in crossover design a resistor in series with a parallel cap is a high pass filter. Get rid of the resistance, ie barrel plug, I replace mine with heavier gauge wire and a Deans style high current connector. I can remove the input capacitor entirely and I get no low frequency roll off nor a decrease in efficiency and DC clamping measures the same. The DC clamp Fluke is accurate enough. The only more accurate measurement would be a continuous drain and amp-hour measurement. RMS AC testing is valid in this case. By the way I'm an electrical engineer.

    @@blakebrockhaus347 The response time of the Fluke is within that couple seconds. I have the same model. I've done the testing, put it on max hold and it will be accurate within half a second of running, within the specs. Fluke wouldn't be the gold standard in electrical measurement tools if the results couldn't be trusted by electronics technicians and engineers alike. When we talk dynamic power that is power sustained in a single waveform, when designing these amps all you need technically is just enough capacitance to sustain a single waveform at the minimum cutoff frequency desired. Any more don't add to the dynamic power capability or efficiency. Want a real world example? If you get rid of the electrical resistance in your cars system, you don't need those 1 Farad caps to prevent lights dimming, and adding one won't all of a sudden make more power or be more efficient, it will though sustain a dynamic burst for longer, but even a 1 F cap won't sustain a 12 amp load at 12 volts for more than .1 seconds before voltage drops to 10.5 volts and the amp shuts off. I can take you through the equations if you'd like. But you'd better be pretty decent at calculus and logarithmic functions. The theory is exactly identical to what's happening with this amp. I've done the time constant testing on class D amplifiers. Unless you're going well over 10,000 uF or so on the TPA3116, the power caps won't even store enough power for more than a couple waveforms, certainly not the couple seconds it takes to get RMS readings, and keep in mind some of this guys tests keep testing for upwards of 5 seconds or more as some amps take time to get a clean RMS signal. The power jumps up a couple watts as the system attempts to slowly raise power until clipping. This slow rise is definitely slower than the time constant of the amps input capacitor which again shows the input capacitor is doing nothing to sustain RMS output. Easy test for this. run your amp at low listening levels. Unplug the amp and see how fast it turns off. My efficiency modified amps with big caps might stay on about 2-3 seconds. At full power though it turns off immediately. This tells you the input cap can't possibly be sustaining those dynamic loads, ie it's the power supply sustaining the RMS load. There's a lot to understand when dealing with AC power efficiency. It is now entirely possible to have 95% efficiency amplifiers and power converters. They may be playing some games with their electronics, but DC measurements

    I thought about that too but he said it pulled about 50a during the test. You'd probably wanna run something a bit thicker than the factory 22/20/18ga wire that's probably fused at 10/15a. Then you're talking about needing a distribution block to feed a few of these with some 8ga wire or so and running wires to each door anyway. In certain situations, I agree that it could be a really good custom build setup, but I think there'd still be a bit of wiring going on to get a couple of these feeding 4/6 channels. 94% efficient at 4ohm for $46 and 150 clean watts...

    I think I’m agreeing with everyone else in the comments and really for what you’re getting here and the looks of it, I don’t see anybody going wrong dropping a $50 bill on this unit and of course if it burned up after three months or so, or if it makes it a year or longer either way,, it’s well worth the money

    Do they have a 4 channel version? Now that I think about it, I could always buy 4 of these. They aren't much bigger than some crossovers I've had and they would all fit under the front seat or seats. 184 watts to a single component speaker side would provide plenty of power and headroom.

    I'm far more interested in full range amplifiers, as some of us may use a much more flexible DSP instead of the basic fixed slope electronic crossover in the amplifier. I wish head units incorporated DSP for all necessary adjustments, or at least offered a digital output to send to a miniDSP.

    It is beyond insane aftermarket car audio has not incorporated digital or Toslink connections, as it is surely the best audio signal s since it was developed for and is exclusive to audio connections! RCA connections are tiny tiny wire connections that are 1970's technology. Plus, if you happen to have a car with a premium Bose or Harmon Kardon stereo etc. they all use digital connections even starting with the "In-Dash" unit. I don't understand the idea of using a DSP then connecting it to your amplifier via RCA cables. Kinda defeats the point doesn't it? I hear ya brother about current car audio tech. BUT one question that SERIOUSLY is not being addressed: "What happens to "aftermarket" car audio if ONLY EV vehicles are allowed? " That's a serious concern. Especially since EV's are already a Frog wrapped in a Prince's clothing. OEM stereo's in EV's suck even more than regular OEM car stereos. Now go Turn That Shit Up While You Can! lol! (I've heard really good things about Clarion's powered analog crossover unit. In fact, so good, you shouldn't even bother with other brands like minded devices. Going with Marine audio instead of car audio (for the most part. as most marine subwoofers have LED lights you can't turn off. why?) Anyway That's been my "secret" to better car audio. I just did an install where I went with a Kenwood Marine cd/receiver ($180 - but I really like Kenwood source units. some of the best in the industry I think) to a Rockville Marine Phenom Class A/B 6 channel Amplifier to 4 Polk Audio DB+ Marine speakers, and 2 (two) - 3/4 inch Harmon Kardon tweeters, and the sound quality even impressed me. I was surprised how damn good it sounded. Even with RCA connections. That Rockville Marine amp doesn't put out big power, but enough, around 80 watts per channel at 4 Ohms. BUT it has some "choice" internal components for better sound quality and by God they are not lying. Being a Marine receiver I also hope it lasts a good time. Marine audio is 3rd party certified. Think how a boat must handle the chop of waves without a suspension. So the stereo components must be made well to take that beating. I can also tell you the Polk DB+ 6.5 inch speakers are some of the best 6.5 inch speakers on the market regardless of price, and well worth an option for your system. I've been a musician all my life, and though "not" an audiophile, I do spend alot more on home and car stereo equipment than the next person. And have a "collection" of home amplifiers, receivers, speakers etc. I try to go for a clean clear high headroom neutral image hi fidelity sound with stereo equipment, without spending vast sums of money, because 99% of the shit is all made in China! I have a real nice JBL "Bespoke" A/V receiver + matching surround speaker system for my tv/computer- made in bloody China! Does it sound great. Yep, One of the best systems ever. Over $2,500 new, but I cannot pay that because of the whole China thing. So picked it up used for $500 and don't feel guilty about it. lol Oh yeah, I did add a bandpass (2 x 10) sub and seperate Class D monoblock to that system install I mentioned. You still need bass if all you have are 6.5 inch woofers! Also, making sure each speaker has its own discreet channel is another way for better sound quality. I know that usually means running your car system at 4 ohms instead of 2 Ohm, but it will give you better sound quality. That's why I went with the 6 channel amp. And my buddy is quite happy even if his wallet isn't. The total cost still $1,300 for just the stereo components and wiring. (including A Big 3 upgrade - 2 Ga. Marine grade silver tinned OFC copper wire instead of 0 Ga. saved $100 right there using 2 Ga. Instead of 0 Gau!. Plus a more powerful alternator to drive both amplifiers. Both amps I used had peak power usage of 120 amps. Only using about 60% of total power to keep heat down and for long term operation. That's another little trick that helps with your amplification. Get a more powerful amp than needed, and run it at less power around 50-60% - but still matching your speaker wattage). So hope this helps. Probably not as much as Big D, but I try.) take care.

    @@johannjohann6523 aftermarket headunits did make optical digital outputs for awhile but they were kinda ahead of their time and didn't sell so they stopped making them. As far as Polk goes the couldn't touch morel, focal and many other speakers out there. Further more all band pass sucks musically. It's in their design since the box limits the band of sound that pass out of the box.

    Well it didn’t match it rated power, like most off brands cheap amps. But for the price (price of one of your hoodies) and size (fit under the 🌊 seat or saddle bags), can be a bargain for a upgrade to a stock unit or a motorcycle etc… I have a GM truck with a Bose system. The Bose system is a 150W 5-channel amp that puts out 25Wx4 + 50Wx1 all a 2 ohms.🤔
