You say this is a clone of the Skar... it may well be true, but since you are unaware of who Double Rock is... I'll share that I have met with, emailed, and had lengthy conversations at CES2020 with their factory reps from China. They make a LOT of products for car audio. I have a DR amp on my shelf from the 2020 CES, and several 12" subwoofers of various surround and motor types. It might be worth considering that Skar could be manufactured by DR. I know at least one other brand for certain that is.... a very well known brand that's been around longer than Skar.

Being a repair tech, the DR amplifier has Skar beat for vibration control. I am constantly seeing shorted transformer windings. They even secured the inductors. Nice ;)

You're right. I remember back in the day, some Pyramid amps were made by Precision Power.

I have all Skar Audio components and subs in 3 vehicles all being run off of my collection of old school Rockford Fosgate amps. I had 1 problem with the surround on my 10 month old EVL-10 in my pickup. I emailed Skar and IMMEDIATELY got a warranty email with instructions. Within 2 days, my brand new sub was on my porch from Florida. That speaks novels for the company Skar is! I will gladly stand by them!

Mr D, Skar owes you for explaining and advertising the good and the bad about their equipment. Seems like a few diehards see Skar as something disposable, but reliability over time is the money maker. Thanks bro.

@johannjohann6523

Know where you're coming from, so if I may: a little trick is to go "Non big name brand" marine equipment. Because all marine audio equipment is certified, even the no name brands make marine audio on par with the big guys. I wouldn't purchase a Rockville car audio amp, but have bought a couple of their marine amps and installed for friends (each time paired with Polk DB+ marine speakers), and I can tell you the performance and sound quality was surprisingly good. Even really good. And to compensate for the no name brand intentionally run each amp at 50% on the gain so as to not "overtax" them. But that has been my secret to saving money and being able to afford aftermarket car audio for the last 25 years, while still having a decent product. Just understand the no name brand of marine amplifiers do a good job driving regular speakers, but not speakers "and" a subwoofer with the same amp. I did try that initially (6 channel amp) but just not enough power for regular speakers and a subwoofer. If you want a subwoofer, then a seperate monoblock will be needed. If you match the power (wattage) well to the speakers you can get plenty of good sound with say 50-60 watts per channel. I think some of these systems I see with thousands of watts are cool if you can afford them, but also at the same time a little "over the top" for car stereos if you are not doing competitions etc. (PS. The Polk DB+ series, are some of the best speakers you can get regardless of price (usually $100 pair for coaxial) and have purchased and can say they impress; and I've been hearing good stuff about Recoil making some good speakers for the price too these days for speakers under the $100 mark.) So good luck and hope you can get ya a nice car stereo system soon if ya already haven't. One of the biggest crimes for car manufacturers is how bad car OEM systems still are these days! (Another option if you have the time effort and "know how" is if you have a "Pull and Pay" car parts lot nearby, is to go and find a car with a quality stereo that still has speakers in it and pull them yourself. You can usually tell if speakers are gonna work or not by their appearance. And given the price charged for these "used" speakers even if one doesn't happen to work, you'd be out of more time and effort than money. Most places charge only $10-20 per speaker regardless of brand or quality. Find a Mercedes or Lexus a high end luxury vehicle that has an upgraded factory system. Just remember even with the upgraded systems OEM stereo speakers rarely exceed 30-40 watts RMS. The in-dash units though will only work by brand. Those you'll still have to pick up aftermarket that have "universal" application. ) Also 1 "good" 8" or 10" sub can be fine for a car stereo, even better sounding than two cheap subwoofers. Just make sure whatever sub you get gets down close to that magical 20 Hz frequency. And no it doesn't take an 18" inch sub to get that low. It's about the build quality of the sub and sub box that enables frequencies in the 20-30 Hz range. However, Once you go past 1 subwoofer, the price really increases on a car stereo these days regretfully. Even using a "home" stereo sub is fine as long as you have an amp that will give you the necessary power to drive it. For an 8 ohm home sub, you'll need twice the power/watts from a 4 ohm amp remember. Home audio and car audio are little different. That's why I recommend marine audio, it is built different and more durable)) take care and all the best!

That amp is a great performer for the money. I think if you can affordable the little extra that the name brand amps and subs cost, it is worth it. A couple reasons. 1: good customer service is worth a lot if you need it. 2: supporting the companies that are bringing these products to us need us to buy from them in order for them to stay in business and continue bringing us the products we enjoy.

Scissors, paper, double rock. Good review.

What I think is interesting is that for the most part, the designs at this level are well known and bordering on generic at this point. Making them in a China obviously a big price consideration, and the choice of components (particularly in the caps) is the real variation unit to unit. At the type of power these things are putting out, you don't have to run them to the wall to get the volume you are looking for. You could probably run them about half way up and still rip your head off nicely. At the price, you can afford to keep a couple spares in inventory for quick replacement if there is failure.

Nice pick and place machine footage!

Thanks for the video. This is rather interesting. Even though it is a decent looking amp, and safe to say a copy of a Skar amplifier, that's one thing about the Chinese economy. There isn't copyright, or patent laws, so about 50% of their economy is copying other brands products. With probably half of those products made in China advertised as the "real thing". What can't be seen is if the components of the amp are the same quality as Skar. I thought Skar had most (all?) of their products manufactured in South Korea, not China, and is one of the reasons for the quality of their products, and why they became a household name in car audio so quickly. They start off with a good solid design, and then quality manufacturing in South Korea. The majority of "better" brands of car audio (Orion, D4S, Rockford Fosgate etc) are manufactured in South Korea and I think that lends to their quality and durability. However, from the video Skar is "South Korean design" but Chinese made (Future Sound of China). Which I guess means that there are some good and reliable Chinese brands out there. But there is little Skar, or any company can do when patents are violated by Chinese manufacturers. This brand Double Rock only became available in December '22, and so long term reliability is yet to be seen. Whereas everyone who knows car audio, knows that Skar audio has a good reputation with their products as well as their customer service. Is it worth an extra $100 for peace of mind? I guess time will tell. But it's hard to fault people trying to save some bucks while upgrading their car stereo, because let's face it after market car stereo is expensive. Plain and simple. Being on par what people will spend on a home stereo system (that generally has much larger speakers). Especially when so much of it is manufactured in China. And OEM car stereos, even today after all these years still suck! That's the biggest crime of all. Just look at the new "fad" of touch screen car stereo units. What does a touch screen do for better audio fidelity? It's bling and nothing else!

One of the more important specs for a sub amp is Damping Factor(DF). Do you ever state the DF for sub amps? I know there is actually no easy way to test DF for verification of manufacturer claims. Thought that I'd just mention DF as not alot of people realize the importance of DF in controlling subwoofers and I know, being an old school competitor like me, you might could make a video explaining the importance DF and other less known amp specs play in choosing a good sub amp. As you are well respected in the industry as well as with consumers, I thought that would make a great video for you to educate newer consumers not aware of such specs. Another idea for an educational video for you to produce is on the more important specs of a Sound Quality(SQ) amp such as THD and beyond. Keep up the great work and awesome videos!!!

Back in the day, we ran expensive Class A and Class A/B in which DF played a major factor. I wish we had these cheap $-to-watt Class D amps back then. 2000 watts in those days would cost you well into the thousands for a decent brand...of which there were VERY few.

Im just saying, it turns the right way whether it's upside down or not. Max is on the left if it's upside down. For it to spin backwards you'd have to face it away from you which i can't make a case for.

Skar is like a big baby. Even Audio Legion (which was the brand Skars build house sold products under) got told to stop selling products or he would take his 40 million contract elsewhere. Funny thing is Audio Legions products were priced well and were actually better quality than Skar. The owner of Skarbage didnt like that. Now Audio Legion is opening under another name sometimd

Hey big D. Have you made any videos on B2 audio amplifiers. Specifically the B2 riot 7500

Thanks for the suggestion

i have the 1200 watt DR, im sending it back. it doesn't sound good, its ok but my ignite amp sound better and is gonna get installed again.

Should I buy this Double rock or the CT2000.1D

I own this exact same amp in the video just got it off seth 💪🏻💪🏻💯💯

I must have said wow about 5 times,budget gem

I think I would still go with the skar audio rp2000 for the warranty and support that you get an let's be honest it's only what 50$ more an you get a 2 year warranty and there support if u have any issues

Dam I wish we had access to amps like this here in Australia, and if I was to get one from America it would cost me more than the amp in postage 🤣😭, I'll have too stick with the old Kenwood for now lol none the less thankyou for another great video

Why would you get this amp from America? You're considerably closer to china than we are, why not order direct?

Yeah I seen that double rock.good value..

Does the bass knob work on the bass EQ or the gain?

@wal would like to see some of the jbl like the a600 or a1000

The bass knob isn't backwards for vehicles that are right hand drive like England

It's nice but I like my 2300rms watt S1-2250.1 amp better. Do a vid on the S1-2250.1 like the one I have.

Dr Rock reminds me almost of a kicker cxa case or maybe a ds 18 case

Wat is the best cheap amp for a kicker quad box

Very nice

Get the Soundqubed S1-2250.1 I have 2 of them strapped at 1ohms half ohms per amp and it handles. I also once had them strapped to half ohms .25ohms per amp and it also handles!! I got 2 18" Resilient Sounds Platinum subwoofers ✔️it out.

Can it do .5 ohm without going into protection

Do these amps sound good? Or are they just for spl?

I bought mine 2 weeks ago

They are all cookie cutters😂 Nothing like old school that had their unique heatsink and quality components. Nothing odd about the remote, it’ works basically the same (ccw to be at 0db and fully cw to be at +15db). Thanks for the vid!!

Nothing odd about the text being upside down.

Avatar ATU original had the silly 1/4" jack and not a standard phone or cat 5 bass knob.

I run a ruthless 4500 and I’m super happy but I wish I would’ve known that I could strap 3 of these together and saved hella money lol. Awesome amazon joint.

Whats the difference between the Bass knob and a Gain knob as those in Soundqubed?

@wal

Жыл бұрын

In this case it’s a gain knob too

I'm not sure why, and yes I'm puffin herb in the a.m., but my eyes saw BOSS styled lettering on this amp so thought to ask. What ever happened to Boss audio? Just curious, other than that, this amp was cool. It makes up power in other areas where that 1459(1500)watt part was rather "eh."

41 watts is within margin of error. These are accurately rated in my opinion. I bet Skar is really salty about these amps at this price.

Impressive.

With clone amps like these you should show inside thermals and temps
