    Taramp's Warranty Services

    If you want people to take you seriously then you better rethink your policies. Then what do you want to see because all dealers are under same warranty policy. It's been like that for years in the US and nobody has complained once until i publicly stated how it worked. Everyone else has been taken seriously for years so what's the difference here?

    Our current policy is not to stock longer than 2 months. If a business lets product sit for 9 months, they deserve to go out of business.

    What venues/forums do u want to see DSS at

    for car shows, go to the Organization's websites and look for 3x or higher point events and attend those. Any and all 3x or higher events typically have the biggest turnouts.

    You mean lower, correct?

    Question incriminator 20.1

    2 independent amps put out slightly more power than 2 strapped given same impedance. 2 dual 4 ohm subs. You can only wire to- 1 ohm or 4ohm logically. If wired at 1ohm, that would be either 2 ohm per amp or 0.5ohm per amp strapped. If wired for 4ohm strapped, that's 2 ohm per amp strapped or independent. If you are trying to wire each amp at 0.5ohm, get different subs if you can't ever strap them.

    Question incriminator 20.1

    Sounds like you shouldnt so dont. There are more cons to pros for strapping and until some company starts utilizing protection features specifically for strapped applications, it's never necessary to strap amps.
  9. I have no idea what you just said... IT looks like you said if you turn it up to 35 that 1\4 gain on amp it clips.. But if you lower the volume, it doesn't clip.. IF that's what you are saying.. then.. that's common sense but i am hoping you didn't mean that because i can't follow what you are saying.

    Bad news for the IA80.1

    3% is absolutely unacceptable, I'm sure your ears can pick up the difference... I was unaware people did "clamp tests" to measure the possible measure of power that can audibly be heard as a difference compared to the rating on the box. IF that were true, then clamp tests would be the best method. That means as along as the 9,600w amp can do +/- 2,000w, then it's fine. That's your implication. Seems irrational to me.

    THE EPIC MAGNETAR THREAD

    When you say you need to get them to make you some 65mm one way soft parts, that's specifically for the MMAG, correct? And... is the finish production of the MMAG going to have 2 slugs? And for me and all of us.. can you explain the difference between these- MMAG vs Trident
  12. shizzzon

    what sub is this

    It appears to be one that is driven by electrical power in the form of AC converted over to mechanical energy to produce a or a range of sound in the lower portion of the human audible spectrum. That should narrow it down some.
  13. We are going to be having a group buy this month and into next month and we have an amp that would suite your needs. It's rated to do 3,000w @13.8v, 2,500w @12.6v Normal pricing is $469 Our Group Buy pricing for this amp will be right around $400 shipped. Ship date is in early to mid March.

    Taramp's Q&A

    This is where you can ask us questions about Taramp's I will provide some info that is typically asked. Why are the Power\Ground Terminals so small? The installation use in South America is much more forgiving than in the US. Us users in the USA require much power terminal to support high current and voltage. Because of this, we are having Heavy Duty Inputs made for these amps that require ENORMOUS amounts of power and optimal inputs made or provided for the less demanding current draw. When you purchase an amp, it will be provided with the hardware highly suggested to operate these products to full potential and SAFELY! Another Brazilian company? Ugh.. why? Taramp's has been in business since 1999 and are their OWN buildhouse. They move over 180,000 products PER YEAR. They are the LARGEST Audio business in all of South America. Since 2011, they have excelled to offer SMD technology in many of their new amps which is putting them to the top in the industry. They have recently bought a Car Security company and will be offering Car Security products soon. With over 250 Employees, they are not a simple based company. They will be around for many, many, many years to come.

    Bad news for the IA80.1

    You are getting very close! Now the only part is to understand that you cannot negatively comment on the amp's proposed poor performance from the test because it's currently impossible to tell that from the test. Especially since it was retested at 14.6v, with uncertainty, and jumped to over 10,000w. Point is.. like u said, to give a general idea. And the funny thing is, many people think, tought or believe the uncertainty tested result from test 1 is so far off from rated power that it's impossible to prove it's proper rating. Nope.. I hope everyone has learned not to trust these tests as facts especially from the drama of this particular product.

    But, but, but, it didn't do rated. It has to be flawed.... I understand their view, and their concern is not legitimate in this case, in my opinion. The results may not be 100% precise, but they're accurate enough for the purpose they serve. If you require an amp test to be accurate within 10 watts for your personal use.... so be it. I don't. You're the only one name calling here... So you think it's just barely off? For one, the testing method is not consistent. Like others have stated before, it's used for TROUBLESHOOTING, not for proper power measurement. Second, did you know it was recently retested by the same person and now it's went fro 13.5 to 14.6v and gained 3,200w? Now it's over 10k clipped. People are "guessing" in that topic as to how much THD that is.. Bam- guessing.. that method of measuring power is for troubleshooting. For accurate results, testing must be consistent. The 2 tests are not consistent and not controlled due to human error and the lack of THD measurement. You can't state you obtained a certain amount of power without other factors. Tfade has not done anything wrong to defer his measurements. It's the lack of knowledge the audience has that concludes what they think they obtained from that information. The same thing goes for many SMD devices as well but don't get me started on that. So the measurements show a lack of output power.. Well.. that's not right.. Test again.. now we have massively increased power... Lack of consistency and other measurements. Tfade isn't trying to replace proper means of measuring with a low cost technique. He's basically just trying to see if the equipment holds true to it's ratings. The problem is messing with amps of this caliber is not easy because the higher the numbers go, the greater the inconsistency in his testing method. The audience should take THAT as a big potential problem that is hard to control. Even on low power, his method will net him closer to actual ratings but still not concrete enough because of a lack of tools and technique. A power rating consists of a lot more than just 1 power rating with a voltage and a THD rating and not even those 3 things have been met in sync in one test yet. Like i've said many times before, I defer to the manufacturer's testing themselves as they are more equipped for the task. The second test was to prove a point... To get the 10k that people claim out of the amp, it was clipped to hell and back. The first test was "around" but not exactly at the THD rating that the manufacturer gives. I guess we have to throw something on an amp dyno to make you guys happy.. lol So, all other tests done by anyone in this aspect was not to prove a point? Every test is to prove a point however inaccurate it might be. And nothing is making us unhappy. I personally do not care about the output results because i know because of inaccuracies, the results are pointless. That's why i do not comment on how good or bad so and so amp is. What I may comment on, like i am here, is the lack of understanding people get from the numbers. We can go about this this way too- on SMD a while back, someone dyno'ed a 5kw amp on the burst setting and it put out over 9k. Just that alone went on for weeks and weeks across forums about how awesome the amp is.. it can do 9k, etc.. In reality, that test is not to test output but headroom potential which is another debate that i am not a fan of either because the reasoning makes no sense. Then many people across the forums finally begin to understand how worthless the test is when you see how an amplifier is actually used. This is the same way.. It's going to take a while for it to dig in but once people understand that testing must be controlled on a level that is not done here, then results are for troubleshooting, not for obtaining the ratings themselves.

    outter diameter for the hcca 15

    Yea, the Massive Audio Hippo subs are the "largest subs" in their classified sizes that i've ever seen. So large, that no other sub i know of can replace their cut out requirement.. and even the 15 isn't 15" or more in cut-out diameter.

    Bad news for the IA80.1

    lol.. Nick? no.. It sounds like you do not know IA well enough to say that. But by you saying that.. it sounds easily like you care less what IA says in their upcoming retest just for the hell of it. So i'm done.

    Bad news for the IA80.1

    you are still missing the point..... You keeping siding with his testing as being accurate. Let me ask you a simple question. Why would you trust a person in this hobby who loves it as much as anyone else to perform a test on an amp, and regardless of the results, believe the results over what the manufacturer is about to present?
