Taramps Smart 3 1~2 Ohms 3000 Watts Class D Mono Amplifier

Power is not new, JL Audio has been making amps with constant power since the early 2000's, and Rockford Fosgate has amps that offer constant power across multiple ohm loads since the late 1980's. Price is the biggest difference between the JL and RF configurations. They are costly, and can be out of reach for many consumers in the car audio market. In the case of the Taramps Smart 3, the price was well below three hundred dollars and it was actually quite an amazing deal at the time. It did indeed measure 3000 watts within 1, 1, and 2 meters on my SMD Amp Dyno during almost an hour of testing. I was easily able to confirm the 3000 watt rating was indeed valid across all 1, 1, and 2 meters of my test bench. The third and first are respectively. There are two resistances 6 ohms During later tests I also went all the way down to 1/2 ohm and the amp continues to perform at a level that very few amps can cope with. Over the past 10 years, I have tested over 250 amplifiers, and only a few have been able to handle 1/2 ohm loads. That's quite the feat for an amp with such a limited budget! However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. It is essential to provide the amp power from a strong electrical system so that you may utilize the full power. If you want best results, you will need an extra battery and a 150A alternator at the very least. As well as 1/0 OFC wiring, you'll need. Make sure you remember that power is necessary

I consider this amp to be quite impressive in general. Five ohms) that made it seem like it was about Although the sound quality was good, I didn't experience any heaviness in the bass like I have with an HD series Taramp before. Despite its modest size, this amp was still very impressive. You are getting a lot of value for your money. Taramps, you did an excellent job.

My first chance to hear about these amps came via Big D Wiz on YouTube, so I picked one up to check out. As soon as I opened the box, I thought there was no way this thing could do 3k, boy, was I As of now, I am running a S1- There are two HDs in the 2250. With its 12 watts, this amp is a little louder and takes up about a quarter of the space of the S1 The + and - are connected by dual 1/0 Through the use of some reducers, I was able to reduce the amp to a fraction of its original size and it seems to be quite safe to use. (I'm running a redtop under the hood and two platinums in the back, and a singer 270 amp alt in the back). It sounds great so far and it definitely delivers the power it claims! I plan to do some more testing weekend, but for now the amp is amazing for the price!.

I even hooked it up to two American Bass xfl 12" sub.

There's something wrong with me. A performance review of the Smart 3k by Big D Wiz led me to order the device. As soon as I got the amplifier, one of the fans started making a weird noise every time it turned A total of four Kicker CVRs were powered at 2ohms by it. As I previously ran a Taramp 8K with 2 Orion HCCAs at 1 ohm, I am familiar with the noise the fan makes however, this noise was unbearable to me. In the meantime, it continued spinning normally as soon as it cycled. It should be noted that the amp burned out within less than a week due to this problem. Make sure there are no broken blades in the fans before using them. My 8k runs flawlessly, so I hope it was a dud and that the replacement is just as good. I thought it sounded good.

This is the amp for you if you're searching for a great amp. The price is definitely worth it. A titanium eclipse SW9122 is too powerful for me when I have the gain turned up about 25%. It is only the packaging that is a problem. There could have been more packaging material as I used to work at an Amazon fulfillment center. I didn't like how the guys was flinging the boxes around. In any case. As this is a great price, I am certain the price will later increase.

This is not an easy amplifier to deal with, as it is very temperamental. You can use this power source The system will have issues going into protection mode when it has a flaw of 0. 01 percent. Many stereo installations have been done by me over the years. I am aware of the potential that this amp possesses, but it's going to take a lot more time and effort than it's worth. You could save yourself some time and money by simply buying a better amp rather than perfecting your power setup.

Everyone says it consumes a lot of energy. If I don't do the big three kit, it will go into protection mode if I have wires thinner than 4 gauge. I believe I have 4 gauge wire with maybe 2 gauge on it. But on reading the reviews, everyone is saying it goes into protection mode. There must be a way for them to learn how to install and fix their In addition to the gain turned all the way up, I have the bass boost wire for power and ground attached and I have no luck in getting My only complaint would be if I could return it because I dislike the fact that every time you play a song, you have to change the frequency or the output. A song, for instance, has bass that hits so hard that it scared me so much I blew my subs, but on the following track you can barely hear it. Like most reviews, it puts out a good amount of power, and it works properly without becoming too hot, but like most reviews, the fans are noisy, and it would be nice if it had a knob over the clipping knob.
