How do these plate amps compare to a complete Dayton subwoofer? It might be better to buy a whole new sub.

In my initial listening tests, they both sounded equally good to my ears. I’ve heard some concerns with the Yung’s reliability, I’m betting it is due to vibration of components on the circuit board. I may use mine externally, building a small enclosure for the amp, not sure yet

Love the review! Personally have the Dayton amp hooked up to a pair of 4ohm subs of mine. I Initially hooked them up in series, but tried them in parallel at 2ohms and the Dayton just pushes harder with no problems. May not be smart for the longevity of the amp, but is a testament to its quality. Keep it up wiz!

So glad i found this! Been putting off replacing the amp in my MTX SW2 & wasn't sure about Dayton components. Looks like a great match with plenty of headroom! Thanks!!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I actually bought the Yung SD300 about 3 months ago to power my old 12" 4ohm Powerbass car sub for a set up in my bathroom lol. (now I upgraded and it's going to go in the garage). It's been working great! I actually built a small box for the amplifier itself and added terminal inputs to it. That way I could plug in any sub to it as it's own standalone amplifier. Good to know it actually does do it's rated 300wrms! And interesting test at the end at 2.6ohms! Keep it up BigDWiz!!

Thank you for this review. I do want to note, the Yung amp does have an output limiter. I messed with mine one day and regardless of how high I turned the gain the output never went above ~300 watts, distorted or otherwise. Kudos to the Dayton, though. I like that enclosed design. A lot.

​@@wal Sorry for the Necro post but I need to vent. :-) I have 4 of the Yung SD300-6 plate amps. The first 2 died 2 and 3 months after warranty. The replacement plate lasted 4.5 years installed in a Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 sub-woofer cabinet driving the 2, 8 inch subs. But I religiously switched the unit off after using it and was used only for PC gaming. It died and the 4th replacement Yung plate I had on the shelf that whole time died after 2 minutes. The red power light comes on but does not switch to green when receiving signal. I've never had the sub volume past half way. My other sub cabinet was a 10 in Alpine speaker and was one of the original Yung plate amps I had that died just after warranty. All amps died with the same issue, seems to power up but no activation. Why did I buy them a second time, well the holes in the cabinets were already the right size. I will never buy a Yung plate amp again now though after 4 failures. Plate amps dying seems to be part of the territory with these things but I would definitely switch to another brand like Dayton next time.

Well done, informative content.

Big Wiz your baby sounds adorable.

Given the dynamic results and class a/b vs d.... I'm thinking the Dayton would probably sound better and more powerful with music than the Yung. Looking forward to the follow-up video!

I've been using the daytons for projects. I had zero to complain about, so I just kept with those.

I have that yung amp. After a month the first one quit working. Returned it to parts express and it's replacement has been running fine for 2 years. Not sure what to take out of build quality, but I will probably try the Dayton when I go bigger.

Love the videos, Big D! I like the fact that you have been mixing it up with some home audio content as well. I don't know if you have ever thought about doing this, but it might be cool if you made a video showing all amps that you currently own in one video. I realize that would probably be time consuming, but it would make for awesome viewing! Whatever you decide to do, keep those videos coming man.

Ive repaired a few of those Boston subs. A single 50 cent Mylar cap would fix your problem. They crack or blow out the bottom of the capacitor between the leads, kind of hard to see unless you look real close.

Why does those 5 clicks of the Dyno powering up sound so satisfying?

@wal

6 жыл бұрын

Agreed completely...gets me excited every time!

So the Yung does look impressive performance-wise compared to the Dayton. I am wondering about longevity though. I have read some reviews where people indicated their Yung plate seemed to run really hot and some said theirs eventually blew out and quit (not saying this would happen to everyone). I noticed as you indicated about the Dayton having sealed internals and that the heatsink is all external (much more surface area than the Yung heatsink), and the Yung releases all it's heat toward the inside too so if using a vented box then might be fine, but if you are wanting to run sealed, then it may run at hotter temps. I can see that as a drawback in my case because am looking to build a sealed box subwoofer, and originally thought to get the Yung and build the box with an intermediate chamber to mount the amp on, having a fan vent system (flowing outside air through it) to keep amp chamber cool. The Dayton seems to be better in the cooling aspect though, since it has external heat sink and would not require any special design to account for temperature. In your case, you have a small speaker and will probably never drive the speaker close to amp limits and thus it may never get that hot really...

Good test!

BigD I also own a Boston acoustic Sub it is a larger model with a 300watt plate amp. I also had to take it apart replace one of the caps it fixed the issue mostly. But I think I need to take a look at the turn on circuit because the sensor to allow it to turn on with the system just isn't that great. I have been looking at the plate amps parts express offered.

Excellent work again my good friend. Nice to see these plates getting some straight up honest testing. Question: I am looking at rebuilding my home theatre/hi-fi system and was looking at replacing the plates on my two Klipsch KSW-10's with the Dayton plates. Was wondering if using a dedicated sub amp like the Dayton audio sa1000 might be a better investment vs buying two plates and replacing the old Klipsh plates on the KSW-10's This would allow for upgrade ability in the future should I decide to upgrade the subs in the system. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks again for all of your hard work!

The yung may make a little less power, but the variable phase is quite important and often under used. Rarely do main speakers and subs perfectly integrate at 0 or 180 degrees. Also the yung will be more efficient as it’s class D. Great video by the way.

i ended up ordering the Yung SD300 . after shippings costs the Dayton is just too expensive into South Africa. i think the weight here makes importing the Dayton one even more.

hey nice test there i have the dayton amp. i tried hooking up two 8 ohm 12 inch woofers to it, in parallel, and it got REALLY hot, enough where you couldn't touch the heat sinks. it was supposed to be for a light weight pa subwoofer. yeah i don't recommend that so now i have it on two other 4 ohm 12 inch woofers in series. now this is for home theater sub and it sounds great i'll always choose a/b over class d every time. how does the class d sound against the dayton? did you compare that?

So what was the outcome? Which did you prefer for listening? Which one produced the better sound?

What’s a good whole home speaker system (in ceiling speakers and amp) that doesn’t break the bank? Preferably 6 to 8 speakers.
