  • I'm from Norway, and we all from Norway think you all are crazyyyyy, hehehehe. Everything here is so expensive that we cant do the same as you americans.

  • They should use 60 18" woofers that would be sick!

  • im not about to diss this. its an engineering feat. but besides advertising for this company at car shows, whats the point for this many watts in a car?

  • thats a nice amp but ill stick with my stetsom that does 14k for about $10,000 less

  • @SteveFrench306 depends on what you are looking for. Its expensive because only 18 exist and this is technology that nobody else has. Its probably the CLEANEST SQ amp EVER MADE. If you want 17,000 watts RMS @ 12v and super clean sound you get this. If you want 14k @ 18v and you dont give a shit about sound quality, you get the other amp. Nothing wrong with the Stetsom but the T15k is superior on music.....and imagine that, an amp being used for MUSIC. lol :)

  • @meade916 haha yeah but not everyone has that much to blow on an amp like you :P, and yeah my stetsom drains way too much power from my car i have a 200amp alt and 2 3100 xs power batts and i still drop to 13v sometimes

  • @meade916 and also trust me id way rather have one of these over my stetsom!

  • from what i understood if i did this amp has or acts kind of like a capacitor and has a built in system that keeps amp charge it must have a sensor that recharges it when is loosing power did i get that right lol...... i got to say Mr Meade i like your work and am not kissing ass credit to the ones that deserve it that's all really neat work Sir.

  • Too short - burn rubber

  • Great videos w/ lots of info. I like all your videos. cheers from Mexico City.

    Hope you can come over a show us a demo.

  • Name of first song ? please :D

  • Whos the cocksucker on his phone in the backround? what a douche.. AMericans might make some cool shit, but you cunts have no manners!!

  • All car amps convert the voltage to higher voltage. Typically +35 and -35. to a total of 70 volts DC. There are two types of car amp. Class AB and Class D. Class D are the best since they are more efficient and more suitable for cars except they are more expensive. Depending on the transistors used the 12 volts is converted to as high as over 200 volts DC.

  • Most FET amplifier are class D audio amps. Regular amps are class AB amplifier. Class D audio amp are more efficient. That means you don't have to have a large amp to deliver the same amount of power since it does not need as much aluminum surface area to dissipate heat. It also uses a lot less power to give the same amount of music power. The only bad thing about class D amps is that they are more complicated to design. Cellphones, HDTV, computers all use this technology for audio.

  • 15K rms?Like 30k max then?

  • somebody needs to put this in a car! :)

  • @MistaDeadSnow steve meade did that already

  • get off the phone steve lol

  • Sooooooo you can run just one of these to your entire sound system???

  • these amps run for $20,000 msrp $50,000 for a pair. thats more than my fuckin car. i feel so poor. :(

  • @WokeAlotaSmeed 20,000 fucking dollars?

    jesus christ, mr. meade, you are rolling around with a pricier car then most people who are millionares drive daily.

  • f***in loud kick ass amps.got one in my jeep

  • Comment removed

  • ya...i just came.

  • The amp sitting beside my monitor has 134v DC across it's rails. It's not 15000watts. does this amp have a 1100A fuse?

  • Hey Steve is the last song all those subs playing? Holy shit is that louder than your tahoe

  • why when i search for this amp all i get is your vids...your doin more promotion on this amp then RF themselves...they should pay you if you aren't already being paid...

  • If this is the father of this amp, I'm shocked that he doesn't know the that current is Volt, and power is Amp..

  • Well, scratch that,.. i cant spend 25k on an amp to go in an Expedition I only paid 18k for!! Would of been nice to slap it on my Treo's.. I was hoping they were about 12k, and hunt for a demo model for about 8

  • I want one... I really want 4,.. but I'm trying to be realistic here!! Time to do some research on prices and availability... Hope its not overpriced like the Jackhammer 22. Are you tired of yours yet???!!! lol

  • whats name of last song?

  • OMG WALL OF SUBBSSS give me xD thats sickness^^

  • @meade916 is this a lows amp or mids and highs amp

  • looks like rockford took a page from macintosh on the looks and the vue meter

  • zajebiste glosniki :)

  • Damn it.

    You Americans are seriously rich

  • that amp cost more then some peoples cars lol..sooo time to get another job and work even more for that paper

  • I wish the camera audio could handle that bass a little better. But I guess theres no way to really translate that bass unless you have a better or equal system.

  • Is it true that one of these puppies runs for $20,000? I found that price somewhere but I'm not sure if that's right...

  • How much does that amp cost and where can I buy one?

  • @MrBigblackspooky it costs....... 2 arms and a kidney, and 20,000 dollars cash.

  • @spezow1234 I seriously want one! :D

  • bitch's rows ought to be DANCIN! thats pretty awesome actually, what turns me on the most is what did he say, less than 300 amps of current? awesome. thats 1 run of good 0 gauge wire.

  • I wonder what people from other countries think about us Americans when they see stuff like this.

  • @LexBravary probably like, DAMN, they did it again!! We want to live there!

  • @meade916 Just cause of our subs? Man they must really like bass if that's all it takes.

  • @meade916 not me.

    europe is better.

  • @meade916 you're right!

  • @meade916 Oh yeah ( From Argentina )

  • @meade916 Yep, that's exactly what I'm thinking.

  • @meade916 uhhhh no yes they did "it" again but the US is not a country i would move to xD (no offense intended what so ever)

    that amp is sick ass hell dude are all of them still in the US or did they export also ?

  • @LexBravary we think youre stupid.

  • @couldntfindausername And which country might this be coming from?

  • @LexBravary wtf did you just said?

  • @runaway927 Speak English much?

  • @LexBravary We'd probably think you don't understand the term RMS.

  • @tul55015 I do know what RMS means, I also know what excessive means as well.

  • @LexBravary maybe something like: "wow with real good music it could be awesome :)" lmao ... hardcore 4 life ^^

  • @LexBravary Who cares what they think?

    I couldn't hear their thoughts in my Tahoe because the BASS would drown them out!! Keep it up Meade.

    I love your presence on Youtube.

  • @LexBravary Wow they must not have very good hearing

  • @LexBravary I'm thinking how it is possible for an american to go crazy over some PA amplifier built into a box with a big converter strapped to it. We Europeans build this shit ourselves if we want to. But hey, why would we want to have 15k Watts of power in a car? That's just crazy... So we don't build shit like this.

  • @LexBravary haha you ever see the shit those dudes have in Dubai?? They have Nissan patrols with 10k engines in em and lambo's and shit. haha they look at us and laugh cause we get reamed on oil prices haha

  • My god, can you imagine how much that thing weighs!

  • Name of first song ?

  • I respect the art of taking things to extremes, but really, nobody needs 15/17KW RMS; on the other hand, I'm the kind of person to spend money like this on lasers and fine cheese, so I'm not complaining.

  • @197022007

    theres actually quite a few of us that need that much power.. im running a XXX-15000D and im only running HALF the power i really need .

  • @maxspl153 I'm well aware.

  • @meade916 He's an insult to 11 year olds world-wide.

  • This is how EVERY AMPLIFIER works.This is stupid. Every amp has huge capacitors in it, these amps just have bigger capacitors to store more energy. Andh if you have big enough gauge cable, you don't need such big caps because car batteries are DESIGNED for huge amperage loads.

  • @dc12volthippy wrong. Every amp does have caps but there is MUCH more to it then that. Check my website forum under the rockford section......there is a post about how this amp works if you want to understand it better rather then just commenting of the top of your head.

  • @dc12volthippy Read the patent. US patent # 7,239,206

  • @dc12volthippy

    You are severely misguided.

    Car batteries may be designed for these currents, but they cannot sustain those current levels for long. I dare you to find an alternator that can handle the charging currents required or space under the hood of a car for the required number of regular alternators. You also then increase engine load which reduces fuel mileage.

  • AudioQue AQ20, 20k watts, only $1800 AND better quality than Rockford? Why anyone would buy this amp or any big mainstream amp is beyond me

  • @07RedRider400 first of all, Rockford Fosgate had this amp, 15,000 watts RMS, for 5 years before anyone else. Of course someone will eventually make a bigger amp. Better though, PLEASE. Ill take RF over any brand.......even though i like other brands too. On top of that, this T15k is arguably the cleanest car amplifier EVER EVER made. You dont sound like you know anything about car audio so its a waste of time to explain but look for yourself if you want - google "powercube"

  • @07RedRider400 by the way bro, that amp isnt 20,000 watts, not even on an 18v system......i hate to be the one to break it to you. Do some research. Hell if you google the AQ20, MY WEBSITE shows up not even theres lol. Why you kids believe the hype, enough to come run your mouth and make youself look silly...is beyond me.

  • @meade916 it does for a burp, because its a "competition" amp, not quite as much over a period of time. and its not meant to run over 16V since u didnt know that, and the MSRP for the T-15k, $25,000? thats almost $2 per watt, which cant even justified. Even worse value than kicker's warhorse. Seriously Steve, not many other people are sponsored by Rockford like you so not very many people can get their stuff for free or seriously discounted.

  • @07RedRider400 no, it doesnt, not even for a burp. Sorry. Also, there is only 18 T15k's on the planet and its a new hybrid technology....like buying the FIRST of anything its going to cost a lot. Just like you can get some 26's for 4 grand now but when they FIRST came out they were $20,000. Its the way it is. Also, stupidass, these amps were purchased by Chicken for $20,000 CASH each. No discount. That was when they were $19,999 MSRP. You dont even have a clue what your saying.

  • @07RedRider400 by the way, im going to block you now. Not because of what you said because i have heard much worse......but because your view on car audio is lame and i dont have time to argue all day with some internet troll about what he thinks is better and what sucks, especially if your reasons are retarded.

    if you want to continue to argue with me, make a new account this way i at least get paid when you waste my time with your bullshit. Thnx.

  • @meade916 So u compare anything good thats not mainstream like AQ FI Sundown DC AA and so on, they will consistently outperform anything mainstream like Rockford Kicker JL Alpine often for less than half the price. Like my AQ SDC2.5s? Less than $200 and r PROVEN to be better than Rockfords T1 for $690. And why do I prefer non mainstream over mainstream? Personal Experience. Uve probably never owned any of the brands i mentioned besides FI. BTW i cant run my mouth when only my fingers r moving

  • @07RedRider400 your mids and highs arent proven to be better then anything, i hate to tell you that. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT you or anyone you know competes in SQ and even if you did, SQ is 90% install 10% name brand. Put it this way, your own logic makes you look dumb bro because my system looks better, sounds better and is louder then yours....and i run RF mids and highs and RF amps. Just because something is too much for you to afford dont mean its not good.

  • 5:47 - 6:47

    how is the name of the music?

  • @EmilDeadPro Burn Rubber Too Short i think

  • @ZyaTorg

    yea thx but fopunded before i seen ur message :]

  • @EmilDeadPro Okay ^^. Some good bass into this track :P

  • rockford is the king of amps

  • coolio

  • im putting that in my honda civic

  • Tuffest set of capacitor banks Ive seen in a while, well done

  • maky stop hating on this guy hes cool and shit he loves what he does

  • Its crazy you got 2 of those in your Escalade haha You fuckin Boss

  • ROCKFORD FTW!!!!!!!!!!! LIVE LOUD & remember IT'S ALL 4 THE LOVE OF BASS

  • How that got all those speakers wired up to that single amp and got all the resistances right is beyond me. Wow!

  • SOo all the speakes is running off that one amp, wow that is nuts!!!!

  • I want that system in my house shit!

  • these fools need to shut the fuck up they dont know shit what they are talking about aint that right MEADE

  • so in all, its a toyota built capacitor? lol

  • @thebmxgod93 if it was a toyota built capacitor it would have been recalled...

  • What song is the last one playing???

  • 5:44 to 6:47 best demo. SHIIITT DAMN

  • If you don't know basic electrical theory (like difference between watts and watts RMS) then yeah, you don't know much about car audio because car audio is an application of electrical theory.

    Someone who can expertly nuke a TV-dinner is not a chef and knows nothing about cooking. Sorry.

    You may know more than me about car audio *installation*. But you do not know more than me about car audio.

  • @JustDiploid are you serious? you are the dumbest motherfucker i have seen all day.....seriously if you think that you know more about what i specialize in then i do, then please take a hit of that Sherm-Stick and then kill yourself LOL. There are some seriously stupid people on youtube but you are one of the biggest the entire week and i get TONS of comments....go play with your little toy and leave the grown up shit to the grown ups. Hold up a second, i am still laughing at your comment!! hah

  • @eagles211able aint nobody afraid of fucking new york bro so quit trying to act E-hard. LOL sound more like an E-homo to me......go make another account though so you can agree with yourself like the last one because thats the only way you will ever make a friend......

  • @JustDiploid i believe u

  • @eagles211able i bet you do.......make up another name to agree with yourself LOL - thats the one way to get people to believe you jackass.

  • @meade916 yo meade whats that last song by too $hort?

  • @JustDiploid dude steve meade is the FUCKIN MAN!!! OOOOOOO u kno about watts! thumbs up fag, theres more to car audio than just watts and watts RMS, hes right u should just go tie the rope buddy, take the leap.

  • @JustDiploid I'm pretty sure Meade knows what watts rms are. and that has nothing to do with electrical theory.

  • @JustDiploid There is no such thing as "watts RMS" it is a made up term. Watts = Volts RMS X Amps RMS. Therefore it is actually "Watts RMS^2) since RMS means Root, Mean, Square and we are squaring it again, that cancels the "root" in RMS so TECHNICALLY it is "Watts MS" which means nothing. The correct term is "Watts". There is no such thing as peak watts or rms watts or when lightning strikes watts. Just Watts.

  • shut the f*ck up and let it play

  • white finish song?

  • love those smal vu meters

  • honestly i used to install car audio like the cell phone industry alot of

    the marketing is for customer who wouldn't understand . what these terms mean

    for eg cables that are 500bux and claim to be triple shielded cryogenic ally wound

    they spend millions on marketing to come up with this shit

  • @TheLacavera except this isnt marketing hype its the real deal.

  • @meade916 steve dude wtf really 40k on amps alone in that caddy bro i really hope u got some good insurance an i really hope u got a major discount for that T15's

  • @lilLoftOn90 i dont own them. My buddy does. I am his personal installer....trust me aint NOBODY gonna get his shit up on the Rez. Not unless they are crazy enough to try. Good luck LOL

  • @meade916 haha yea i hear ya man but foreal bro i think i must have watched all your vids i been in iraq for the last 11 months im gettin ready to gohome soon, but yea i have some 15's in my trailblazer right now but i've done a little bit of shoppin an my wife said all theshit i've ordered takes up all her closet space lol but yea deff anxious to get back an getthe install outta the way but n e way i'll deff b makin some vids, keep the vids comin man i like what ur doin

  • @meade916 Hey man, ive been watching your videos and like what I see... Can you recommend an overall almost "perfect" fosgate amp... Im looking for rumbling power but i want extreme clarity as well... I listen to all genres.. Any suggestions would be appreciated man... 

  • what is the song at the end?

  • Some of what you said isn't making sense bro. Electronics is simply physics. You have to put power in to get power out. I can understand that your switching power supply produces 140V. Is that total or 140V + and 140V -? Even so, you are drawing at least 110 Amps to sustain 14,000 W on the output, and that is bare minimum, without circuit loss and there's plenty of that especially with your switcher. I'll bet you are running 85-88% efficient at best. A class AB amp has plenty of heat loss too.

  • this amp seems to me to be a product built as much for the status of having the most powerful output rather than a practical application. if it was built for cars etc as its 12v-140v conversion suggests, surely it will destroy your eardrums if you attempt to use a fraction of its power! or if it was built for commercial applications where its power had some use, why use a 12v source? I can't understand the logic.

  • Dumb question but is the amp running off of 1 battery for the demo? Or is it self powered topping itself up off of the battery?

  • damn, what kind of power wire does that monster need?

  • 15K in description, 16 in video info, and he says it can push 17k rms in vid xD

  • WoW.. didn't know that this amp convert 12v dc to 140v dc internally. No wonder this amp was able to push 60 12" subs like it was nothing. Shoot if I have the money, I'll get one..

  • how much was all of this

  • so in actuality this is as much a deep cell battery as it is an amp.

  • how much is one of these sellin for in the states? in US $

  • how much

  • Technology today...

  • i just didn't like it pecause i dont have bass :P

  • 1 AMP, total 17000 Watts RMS, 12vdc and stores up to 140vdc, 4 ch, in other words..........HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • the 2nd song is from too short - burn rubber

  • whats the last song?

  • would have been hell wiring all those woofers haha

  • @kevinthematthews not for meade, he has double that in one of his installs. lol

  • @badphoneguy yeah on 8 18's. not 50 12's.

  • 72 people dont have highschool diplomas

  • @Speedeers 73 =-o

  • what the heck kind of music was that first one

  • So it's just a big amp w/ built-in capacitors or am I missing something?

  • Meade, was that your phone that rang?

  • can he just shut the fuck up and show it

  • lol that 2nd song was sweet whats it called??

  • everyone welcome the mother amp, she gives birth to other amps. Isn't SteveMeade running 2 of these? damn

  • will that actually ever be factory produced in mass quantities for the puplic?

  • thats SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I know it must do a good job storing power and whatnot, but how efficient is it?

  • WAIT! Did that amp power all the subs in the back?

  • @xxjr963xx its powering 60 12" woofers and lots of 6x9's

  • @bamfan2044 THATS CRAZY!

  • @xxjr963xx LOL

  • @xxjr963xx YES. all of them on two channels

  • lol, 15,000 watt at the title, and 16,000 in the descreption

  • @iraqiboy90 its a 15k amp that does about 1,000 watts over rated power. My T2500.1bd's are 2500 watt amps and they all do at least 3300w RMS. A lot of brands give you a little more then you pay for......

  • @meade916 and he says 17,000 rms in the video

  • @meade916 but that's the good brands right?

  • @RJKkrzy33 kicker is the best lol not really kicker is just what i have but my shit feels like its gona rattle my face off so im good with it

  • @lilLoftOn90 lmao right on bro..at least it slams man!

  • @meade916 Unless your a broke hoe like me and run Crunch then you get a 1000 watt amp that puts out maybe 300 if it's struck by lightning. :-) LOL!

  • @meade916 So much hype it funny really.

    Do you guys even know the difference between watts and watts RMS? I doubt it.

  • @JustDiploid are you insinuating that you know more about car audio then I do? maybe i am not reading you right lol.......i sure the hell hope not.

  • @iraqiboy90 When the guy was talking I heard him say something about 17,000W rms at about 3:56

  • good part starts at 4:47.
