I was able to use the generic 0 gauge to 4 gauge reducer. You just need to manipulate the plastic around the inputs to slip the reducer in.

I get that it would be easier to run larger power cable the whole way from the battery to the amp without a reducer but one thing to remember is the reducer is not the only bottle neck. In most amps the traces on the board, filters and fuses if used, MOSFET legs, and the toroidal transformer all use much less copper and handle the current just fine. If you have an amp with repeatable results(back to back runs close to the same power), I'd like to see a video testing different wire sizes and/or reducers and fuses for both power losses and heat generated in the cables. Also, I believe the super low capacitance in both the power supply and high voltage rails in this amp is what yields poor test results in the Dynamic Burst test. The low capacitance can only hold a few milliseconds of power at 3000 watts and a for a 40Hz burst you would ideally want enough capacitance to push full wattage for at least 25 milliseconds.

Hey just curious if anyone know the best place to sell used amp to upgrade? Got a Crescendo BC3500d, but ready to go bigger... Mint condition!

Bro. I appreciate all your tests...honestly if I don’t see a dyno video from you....I will not be purchasing that amplifier.

Great vids man really like what ur doing for the car audio community hope u do good on ur 12v talk keep it up and thanks 👍

the end bit is really important. It isn't always about power and i personally appreciate the fact that you mentioned the quality of the bass it produced and the fact that it could be loud in a daily boomer. keep up the great content BigD. Patiently waiting on the in-car multi-amp test.

Yeah, it made me keep looking. No way I wanna listen to fans peeking in and and drowning a couple dB of my treble. That's not necessary. And when he said the amp itself was not able to keep up with fast music? I thought amps weren't supposed to color the sound or do anything except provide power so if it doesn't provide power in a manner that keeps up with fast music, that's a deal breaker for me for sure because I'm very genre diverse.

Big D you're the best on this!! I really enjoy your videos...

Big D, you tell it like it is. Much respect for that. It is as rare as alien dookie. Thank you for what you do.

Taramps gained alot of respect for me when they showcased how their amps were made. Almost All parts made in house which was cool to see their process. I would buy from them but I think they do need to listen to some suggestions like you said with adding 1/0 gave inputs knowing thats what most people run in their car. A little displeased with the fan noise...hopefully they can solve that issue and the upper bass notes not being totaly there..But overall not bad.

Thx having been waiting for these..keep em up

As a dealer I am glad that we finally have a product that doesnt end up on Amazon. I sell the product at MAP. Which is $399.00 . Most of the other products on Amazon are sold for less than my dealer cost . I get numerous people asking if I can match Amazon like no I can. And I cant even buy it for what they sell it shipped from Brazil. So keep in mind about the only dealers can sell, it helps us small business guys that cant afford 200k purchases from the factory.

I’m afraid the model for most people nowadays is to buy wherever they can for the cheapest price. I have other comments, but we talked about this in length on a recent 12V Talk Podcast. I appreciate your comments and feedback 🤙

I have the Sony XM-C2000 6-channel amp, do you have one to test or know the actual power on this old school amp ?? is this amp worth instaling today in a SQ setup?

with the high voltage caps inside that convert the power into 3k, would the inputs terminal be sufficient? or would the amp draw be the reason? thanks and love the vids!

I noticed that you said It didn't have a lot of woofer control with tight bass? so would it be better to run this amp I'm combination with other amps? two on that amp. and a more controlled amp on more subs? what size speakers would you say the best low frequency would respond to?

Another super video 👍👍 I know what I see and understand new technology. But I still cannot for the life of me wrap my head around the output numbers vs the gut shots. What guts lol there's not a lot in there to be putting out that much power. What was there like 6 output devices ?

What are you doing with the Infinty when the new subwoofer comes in?

Very good review on this amp!! Thanks!! Do you think the taramps hv40000 chipeo amplifier 40K..can pass the test?

So which do I run this to my 2 2 ohm auduiopipe bd’s ?? I have an extra battery and I’m gonna do the big 3 upgrade, Will I still need more power ?

Hey Big D , I love your videos , I checked on Amazon right after I watched this , and yes you can order one of these and almost any of this brand .. If I order one and run it 2ohm , what do you think I need to do so it would have the power it needs to be ok ?? ( cap, extra battery , upgraded alt , everything ???) Thank You .....keep the videos coming ....

Thanks for such a informative review of this amplifier. I'm not new to car audio but was unfamiliar with this brand of amps. I'm planning on running this Tara amp for home theater on 2 -12 " subs in separate sealed boxes with a Ac to DC power converter. Do you think the Power Max 120 amp converter is enough to safely power the tara amp 3000k? Keep the great videos coming.

Hey Big D, from all the Brazilian amps, which brand did you like most? Great review on that video!

Goodnight williston audio are any of the taramps good and is stetsom better or should i look for something else but looking for a 3k watts for db drive g2 10

Awesome video. Thanks you helping us out a lot.

Some please help....I bought 2 12 inch scar vxf 4ohm subs .they are rated 1500 watts rms each. Which amp would you recommended I get?

Bid D can you try replacing the thermal compound on the heatsinks to see if it makes a difference?

Thanks for another good one! Any chance for the HD10k?

Hi can I use this amplifier to run 3 pioneer 3004SPL which is 1000 watt rms each, it will be about 0.8 ohms.

So can I wire a dvc 2 ohm q class 15 to a final 4 ohm and get good power ? It's only rated 600 to 1200 sub

Another awesome review. Thanks Big wiz. I'd be curious to find out the technical reasons behind why the dynamic tests results were so low. I would be interested to hear how it does on transients as well since you mentioned it not offering great woofer control, especially on punchier notes.

@wal

I don't think the two are directly related but I could be wrong. The woofer control is a bit odd, but I have experienced this with other Brazilian style class D amps in the past. It will be interesting to give it a week in my daily driver to see if it's noticeable in the real world.

Make me wonder if its your box?

Hey, If I turn the gain down to put out about 1500watts will I need a better charging sistom

I liked those dynamic numbers. The amp didn’t go to 10% THD before clipping. 1% and clipping are close. Most good amps are like this.

At 11:20 whats the name of the tool head needed to install the +/-wires.) thanks!

For the last few years I'd often see comments that said Taramps were cheap as in quality and they catch on fire. LOL, I bought an hd3000 used it for 3 months and no issues. Now I have a smart 3 and whoa mfkr rocks!

Big,D I love your videos and your knowledge all most everything you've talked about, but the 4 gauge thing is not a problem. The distance the 4 gauge is going won't cause loss it would be the same amount of loss that a fuse connection has. The other thing is if you look at the guts of the amp the power that comes from the outside is tremendously larger then what enters the amp enters the amp bored at the hand off between the outside power wire and the inside wire they transition over to a very small gauge at the board. Love your channel and videos

i have dual 1.5 speaker so how can the wattage be in 3 ohms ??

Whats the difference between a 3000k and the 3000MD which would push out more bass

Have you done a video where you take apart the bass amp and look at the terminals?

Would a extra battery be sufficient for this or would you need to go with a high powered alternator?

Does anyone know where I can buy this reducer that’s shown in this video ?

Cerwin vega stroker pro 3100.1 please.... haven't seen you dyno any cerwin vega yet

Wilson audio labs what do you think about running this amplifier at half an ohm, and I would highly appreciate if you were to put it on the dyno on half ohm

So what one is a better subwoofer amp. As far as the internals are.

BigD! I think we all agree and understand the need for larger input terminals but I have to ask where you are measuring the voltage at? Is it measured through the probes stabbed into the side of the 1/0 wire? The voltage at that point should be greater than the voltage after the bottleneck of the 1/0 to 4 adapters. Methinks you may have a battery or two with some weak cells that are failing under load?? Just a theory. Doesn't make any difference to me I have not approved of these amps since the beginning and I probably never will. Sorry Brazil :(

Não entendi nada que você falou, só queria saber se você gostou do amplificador e se recomendaria ele

I have 2 12'' 600 Watts each Alpine should i used the Taramp's bass 3k or the Taramp's HD 3000 ? btw i might upgrade my subs soon what would you guys recommend me ? i would appreciated your help !.

Tyvm for all the tests you do Big D..Huge help! 🍺

i cant wait to you recieve the SUB AND BOX FROM.US . UR GOIN TOO.LOVE IT

Could the terminal situation most likely be because in Brazil the big systems that you find are all pro audio? The don’t use car subwoofers... they use Dj speakers like rcf, b&c, and ev...

Why not throw a couple 16 volts in parallel with your bank as well to keep the voltage up around 14.5-15 volts during heavy tests? And just charge them separately while not in use. Maybe have a heavy duty switch/breaker between the main bank and the 16s so you don’t have to unstrap them every time you need to charge or when their not needed for a test.

I have a 2000 Honda accord with two batteries in it I just bought the Tara 3000 not the new 3K how am I gonna do with my rock songs with the base I love rap music too but what about my rock songs and do I need to upgrade at a battery kept my two batteries I’m already running or a new alternator? This is cripple Cory out.

What % of car audio systems can keep voltage at 14.4 so why do most companies use that as the standard most vehicles drop down into the mid 13. Voltz ?

Please try out the Helix G ONE sub amp. I have my suspicions.

The "Bass" version I belive is a half bridge output while the HD version is most definitely a full bridge amplifier. Look at the difference between the transfomrers of the two. The HD only had 2 wires from the transformer while the Bass version has 3 of them (it's a center tap secondary on the transformer since it is a halfbridge amp). Also the caps in the bass version were half the voltage (HD : 2200uf @ 200 vdc while the Bass version has 2 2200 uf caps @ only 100 vdc each)

So what are the results of the hd3000?
