There are lots of ways you can use a 6 channel amp. This is the way I would more than likely use one. So this amp on a set of 3 ways and a dedicated monoblock on the subs would be a solid choice with a much smaller footprint and a lot less wires. Of course, as stated in the video, you can run your entire system off of it if you want to! Link to more info on this amp amp in the description! Thanks for watching if you did!

Would you recommend dropping the rear fill and running only and active front stage?

Just bought 2 these, a set of the Meso 3 ways, a 3200.1, a pair of Meso 12's, and a hydro shallow 8 for my front sub. Upgraded from all NVX to all CT. Haven't even finished the install yet. I'm itching to see what kind of work they do.

lol don’t spread the word I love ct sound and how it’s not mainstream every time someone asks me what I’m running they immediately trying to copy it tho and I’m with you I’m all ct sound as well

3-way front stage, using all active crossover filters with a monoblock for subs for the win!

I like how well you set that amp up! An ,matched with an active dsp like that one wow, clean an amazing . Well done steve . Thanks for posting .

You always have the best music playing in your shop!🤘

Always a good day when Steve puts out a video, shoutout from Texas!

Only a handful of Car Audio channels I'd sit and watch for reviews/bench tests and SMD is DEF the 1st stop

I remember i wanted this for my build in my 01' Pontiac Bonneville. This amp was perfect for that car and all CT speakers too. 😊

Man we appreciate the advice. Sounds clean

Bro i love it when you do reviews! U shoot the shit straight ive looked up to u in the bass world for years way before u painted the tahoe!! Keep it up bro!

I also love the size of this amp, you gets lots of channels in a compact size package.

I was thinking about doing an entire NVX system until I seen this amp for $360 😳

Got this amp in my 02 tahoe runinng my 3 ways. Works awesome

Love the color and shape. Reminds me of the old PPI Sedona amps

I’m seeing a lot of reviews on the ct sounds, they coming up and definitely coming from Houston Texas 🤘🏽

I'm all for The AT series of CT Sounds. My bias is my car is a similar blue, laced in white in and out. I still have the AT1400D and AT200.4D in an old Scion. With little use and a lot of sitting - they have lasted some years and perform well.

That white paint and plexi bottom, Straight out of 1996, I love it

Wow.!! That thing looks sweet AF!!!

Great video and info. Versitile and simplistic. I did rear fill for years. Decided to leave it out in an suv setup one time and with time alignment i didn't miss it. Imo, i feel it sounded better. Like a "stage" as its referred to for a reason. Sq, sql... spl blow that stage out😂

what if there was a collab with SMD and DS-18 on something VERY cool and VERY unexpected? I feel like i just said too much. stay tuned......

That’s a beautiful amp. Sometimes I wish the manufacturers would offer an amp with a clear top and basically an amp with the guts also mounted inverted so we could always see that “bottom” view. Would look epic at night with some soft glow on the internals. 🤤

Subscribe to my channel and wait for it... That's all i can say about it right now. Had you gone to sema and to the right booth, you would be shocked how on point you are right now #smd #ds18

Im partial to the JP77 7-channel amp 3k rms output. channel 7 is 2k watts rms. It truely can run a mid sized system. But im sure its $$$ more over the CT Sounds in the review. I run it with all channels bridged and it powers my 10" Focal sub, 2x 300w rms bass shakers strapped to my seat and channel 7 is powering an 18" Incriminator Audio Flatlyne IB sub. i use a 2 channel front stage and my rear fill if needed and 2k watts for subs if i went that route.

Just my opinion but nothing beats a class D amp and really its nice to see a space saving 6 Chanel class D

I have two of the v1 of this amp I love them

I had this same model of amp for a little while back in early 2022, on six Deaf Bonce 6.5" midrange speakers @ 4 ohm each. It did pretty well I'd say. I posted a video awhile back, incase anyone here wanted to listen. I wasn't running any tweeters or any subwoofers in the video, so it's all just midrange for the most part

I still have an Audio Technix Stratos 15", from back before they changed the name to CT Sounds

Would love to see SMD collaborate with @ctSounds and use this and all ctSounds other top tier items in that tidy Honda sedan!!!!

Would -LOVE- to see this run up with the Mmats 6150D for sure👍🏼 Almost Identical output..

I have CT2000 MONO BLOCK pushing 2 Rockford Fosgate punch T1s 10inch. In my semi, and im tell you, that CT Sounds amp is no joke!. Its a beast of an amp for real! And a small footprint too. And i have that Audio Control x-over in my closet! With EQ To go with it. Along with a whole nother system!

Can you do a video on how to get more outputs on a aftermarket radio that only has front rear and sub

I wonder if anyone has installed the Down4Sound JP77 amp? I would love someone like you to test it in a real world application. Great vid brother.

Im debating on a ct sounds at2300 or sundown audio sia 2500 for my kicker solo x 12 , this amp is beautiful

wow that look reminds of the old PPI amp.

Oh yeah love this !!! ❤❤❤❤

Great idea!

they need to do an amp all see threw that would be amazing for demos

really nice amp ..

Damn! I needs this in my life, is this the only brand with a 6channel? Keen to replace my crappy factory speakers with some decent 3ways ( possibly a sub and monobloc later on when cash allows lol )

For 350 bucks you can power a fully active 3 way set…. Not bad at all… maybe see a Black Friday deal too!!

What terminals are you using for the power/ground and the speakers connected to the amp?

I’m starting a new system with a five channel running the entire vehicle.

I've spent about $3k on overthinking and buying for my current system but this amp and 4 of their Meso 6.5" 3-ways are ready for install. Plus a JBL 600w mono and basshub, Hertz H8 for active front stage, soundproofing, all copper 0 gauge double power runs. Mic/REW, and so much more. Considering some cooling options? 🤷‍♂️ but trying to keep it looking as stock as possible. HU is currently only my old Kenwood with a big ol' KNOB thank you very much (insert joke). Might just keep the rear speakers passively crossed over and use an Alpine KTP445U I have, not sure yet... Whole setup is overkill cuz too much time on Amazon at work and not enough at home ugh. But I wanna do it RIGHT, no janky rigging, as I've DEF done that when I was 18🤣 Truly need to make blueprints so I don't miss a step but she's gonna sound sick whenever I get the time to install it🙄... Would love to see a torture test for this amp tho cuz I'm kinda gambling on it 🤷‍♂️ Got the speakers first and $800 later they hooked me with their marketing LOL.

Could you use that on a system for just the componets on a 4 door car. Or would you have to buy 2? I guess im asking could i run 2 speaker per channel?

When u think u can do a amp dyno ?? I like to run it at 2 ohms maybe 4 mids and 2 tweets per door

@meade916 what about running 3 pairs of the CT Sounds Meso 6.5” 3-ways on this 150-6? Using the crossovers included each set of 3-ways couldn’t that give each side of a set it’s own channel? With 2ch per set & having 3 sets that would be 6 channels. I’m debating doing this to a 1991 single cab Stepside Chevy OBS with that amp & three pairs of those 3ways & a CT sounds ATv2 3000.1D for two JL Audio 13TW5 shallow mount subs that are 3ohm each single voice coil What’s your opinion is that logic of 3 pairs of 3ways for that 6ch amp wrong?

I use an SMD IMSG+ to determine what my speakers like. You can however use the information in the book that will tell you what it is. At least get you close. Then, depending on the speaker you will tune 1/2, 1 or 2 octaves above that number. Usually the tweeters will get 1.5-2 higher and the mids will be 1/2-1 octave. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Za160tKmmdPJorw.htmlsi=h4fTJQ8Lk_XoAk5e&t=398

Do you think you could do a video on how you set your crossovers in a 3-way? Like how much overlap, what slopes you use, and how you tweak from there? I bought this amp to go active with infinity kappa 3 ways and from the start they sounded worse but then the car died. I’m using a Dayton audio DSP and I just bought a new car. So I’m planning a new build for this summer and would love a video on tuning an active three way! Especially from you my guy!
