New Product! Amplifier Dyno! SMD / D'Amore Engineering AD-1 (video 1)

[tonysmar2]

that's some nice sh*t ...Yeaa

[hexflip]

so excited for this one!

[Omega50022]

Holy crap, my friend has that same Fisher amp, he's afraid to go above 30 lol

[bassmechanic86]

I would like to see an app for this on an iphone or ipad with some interface hardware.

[calvinblinkee]

@bassmechanic86 How the heck is that going to work...?

[bassmechanic86]

Steve I just found your sites 3 days ago and I've been addicted to them, I found your videos by accident searching "bass" on utube. I'm so happy to see someone technically proficient, who is posting videos and info. I just wanted to say thanks and that I have a ton of videos and pics to still see. I did see the whole shop system build and the Chickens install on myspace 500 + pics. all I can say is that was the shit!!

[ChevyRida2007]

Peak wattage doesnt mean much? Peak wattage doesnt mean SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

build the DD1 into this, and I'm so buying it!

[Sosay412]

You should give special pricing (Deep Discount) ;) to the people who purchased the DD-1!

[RHYNOSHIFTY5]

Kan u buy amp dyno?

[MrLouweezyana]

Steve you bang a lil of tha flux pavilion "I can't stop" nasty bassline in that track

[MasterDJRenn]

Try running the Crown on 240 volts....Should get some serious numbers out of it...I have 2 of them running on 240 volts...

[calvinblinkee]

@MasterDJRenn Um that's not useful. Your Amperage input rating will probably be less.

[MasterDJRenn]

@calvinblinkee It's useful if you have a couple of them like i do....I plug all 4 of them into the 240V drier outlet in my basement, that way they dont trip the 15amp circuit breaker on the 120v outlet.

[kerwyn007]

SMD yuh big want to get one when it hit the shelves

[jylp4u]

Play With Fire = end song ftw.

[garrettfly09]

I got an idea you should be like american chopper but you just pimp out cars and put major subs and blow everyone way by going to showcases

[elmexicandehoustone]

not trying to bomb or anything but your reading a B+ at rest which is 12.6V, usually your playing your system while the car is idling or driving, and the battery usually has 13V+ B+.. Just saying maybe that can affect your readings?

[JCSVINDUSTRIES]

how much?

[maxspl153]

so in SPL applications , its baisically usless because it shuts down once it detects clipping ? not something us db drag guys could use unless you could disable that feture .

[Krazykidone22]

@maxspl153 it shows how much RMS you get WITHOUT clipping. that's good no matter what, why would you want to clip your subs?

[maxspl153]

@Krazykidone22 in short :

clipped signal = 30% power gain in output which = another 3.4 DB on the meter . 

[bigdee2189]

@masterwolf1212. who the fuck are you his gaurd dog? thats not the way he come off to me. he was coming off as a smart ass.  and also its work in progress an i think they know what there doing obviously. but thanks for your concern.

[bigdee2189]

i know what it is. lol dyno is just easyer to spell out

[EvilFingers]

Awesome Technology

[mrchrisk36]

wow!! that is really really freakin cool!!! any idea what that will set you back to own?

[superballin]

Always wanted something like this.

[DJuan300]

SOLD!



[kc550]

Nice, but the focus on the camera was set to one length the whole video and every time you backed up it was blurry as hell.

[druail]

Dang How about giving one of these away to sotm winners some time... That would be freaking awesome!

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

If the AD1 can set gains as well, I will definately buy one!

[smartcar111]

Steve, are you able to remove that long number at the end of your facebook page?

[bigdog420024]

dude that is so fuckin sweat try to make it under 200

[meade916]

@bigdog420024 thats not going to happen lol - thanks though!

[meade916]

@bigdog420024 thats not going to happen lol - thanks though!

[Krazykidone22]

@meade916 damn :( not under $200, time to break out the piggy bank :P

[bigdee2189]

@wow1020. Show me your amp dyno. An how accurate it is

[masterwolf1212]

@bigdee2189 bigdee, wow is trying to help meade, or atleast inform him of any factors not put into the dyno BEFORE he sells it, so then people spend money on something that is inaccurate. Just because he asks meade if it factors in impedance rise, which is a vary important variable, doesn't mean that he is trying to compete with meade. Plus he has two rockford fosgate engineers with him. So stop talking like a 5th grader and realize that wow1020 was just wondering.

[diablo2369]

@bigdee2189 It's called a digital multi meter and clamp meter.

[BigBassVa]

Ok when can we buy this bitch



[PiezPiedPy]

8 people dont know what an amp is

[SeRReAL6]

This is going to be something good to have lol

[dirtydonsunny]

some great product u have here

[calvinblinkee]

Wow this product could become the start of consumer amp accessories. sweet stuff

[FxOxC]

good way to make another dollar, IMO you should of made one unit that did it all!!! =D

[fagalvan2]

keep it up!!! Good job

[wonderbread06]

Just wondering steve, why is the audio in all of your videos so low?

[pb1bigdaddy]

i have to have it

[MrElcash]

I got an Idea, why not make a unit will tell you what the actual RMS is. It stops testing once it stops making RMS power.

Holly shit you guys just beat me and every other nerd on youtube that think they know it all. great product I will sure get a couple, this will make great christmas present for some of my bro's. keep up the good work...

[FiveOhProductions]

You guys are on fucking point. I love it!

[mecca421]

This is what the car audio world needs.

[redwhiteblue91]

Would you be making an amp dyno and DD-1 combo? Cos I'd buy that!!

[redwhiteblue91]

This is better than the distortion detector. This is fucking awesome Steve!

[injermanjavier]

hello, greetings from Costa Rica wanted to lose a little favor to send me a link to the songs you use to test bass thanks

[candle2k]

That's amazing. Very nice work, Steve. I'm glad we have someone like you in the audio world.

[purefunk1991]

yep i need one two see what my us amps usa-100hc puts out

[DopeWhips]

what's the song in the intro called?

[thereason222]

@DopeWhips Play with fire by Bass Cube

[anishti600]

wow thats heavy stuff!!!!!

[MyCosmicPath]

Brilliant info guys, thank you and keep it coming

[thatdamncartoon]

that is gonna be a pretty good tool when you all are thru with all the testing. all the the equipment ya'll are developing together is gonna take car audio to another level; keep up the good work!

[wow1022]

but you don't have inductive loading and voice coil impedance rise in this so it isn't accurate

[meade916]

@wow1022 yes it is. You can choose the impedance you want to measure at. If you know your impedance rise all you have to do is choose it and run the test.

[wow1022]

@meade916

but i'm wondering... how do you have an 8 ohm load on this that's capable of handling the power... i mean what is handling the "500 watts"

[svtcontour]

@meade916 I'm sure this is testing with a resistive load no?

[diablo2369]

@meade916 Impedence rise isn't a constant

[meade916]

@diablo2369 no sheep-shit bro, thanks for informing me of that LOL. If you KNOW the most imp rise you will see is 5 ohms then that is something you can test for. If its more then that then test for that. Its pretty simple.

[epiphonesg007]

@diablo2369

YOu are only testing how much the amp is putting out.

That has nothing to do with imp. rise.

[BLAINE301]

I am very curious about the wattage readings, I mod an repair amps daily. Class A/B amps almost never fall in wattage output to the decimal. I.e. 620.1 pc.

[scottdavenport]

BRAVO !!!!! Genius !!!! Great work guys. Never cease to amaze me.

[dheidt10]

sick u are working with geniuses great new products they change installs and make them more efficient

[SPEAKERSRULEMYWORLD]

those are sick!

[yungnigel]

Steve, I have a song request. Please do a bass demo video with the song - "Hoods Run Down" by Lil' Wyte. please please please please please

[DeafeningSounds]

Its soo funny that ppl think its just that tiny board and dd-1 and you got it in that huge case.

The reason for the huge case is for the 4 huge risstors(white things show brefly) that apply the "load to the amp".. That a speaker/subwoofer would apply

They anit cheap around £50--100 each..

Total price $800-1,000 /£450-550

Does it work on music? Or just tones?

[FalkataSports]

Great idea cant wait to see how you bring it to life!

[jconnway]

dude thats a beefy ass box i was thinking alot smaller. its more of a shop tool than a mobile install kind of thing

[Whiteboi941]

Steve your leading the way along with D'amore Engineering. Bigger and bettter everyday! Cant wait to see whats next!

[Flomasta2007]

whats the name of that song at 0:00

[1977camaro305]

@Flomasta2007 bass cube - play with fire

[Flomasta2007]

@1977camaro305 thanks

[Basket]

great job, more quality products :)

[cutlassburnin]

SO SICK i got a stack of old amps that would keep my busy for awhile.

[bradlycriswell1990]

im glad someone with real love for bass is changing the industry for the better :).

[Chuck403]

I dont usaually post anything but that product is impressive and i hope the cost is too.

[genocide200869]

i need both for my new shop

[sfvirgo]

I need tgat asap...

[djg320]

I want this!

[shak541]

this is cool.. hope i get to to stuff like this after taking electrical engineering :

)

[MrPep469]

Dear Santa: I would so frigging behave :D

[MrPep469]

How much and when can I get one :D

[louizett]

I want one

[airforceranger48]

are you going to have any kind of THD reading for it? i get that it will cut off at clipping, but to truly clamp an amp, you need to know THD as well, IMO

[PETERGUNZZ559]

good tool to have in your car audio arsenal!!!! good stuff...

[macsrule15]

FUCKIN SICK!!! i WANT ONE!!!!

[GoldFish705]

hey steve do you think an alpine type x 12 inch would be a decent sub for me. Im on a very tight budget as a high school student and dont want to buy a bad sub and end up wasting money. I have an alpine amp that can put out the correct rms and everything. thanks

[trevorb9]

@GoldFish705 Go with the type X just make a good enclosure for it..

[GoldFish705]

@trevorb9 ok cool. i already have a ported box and im running a rockford fosgate punch p3 12 with a nice box. i think the type x would be better, especially since it will be running at 400w rms more

[IBleedMusick]

This is awesome the dyno and dd-1 together means one accurate ass system. Damn I'm just waiting for the SMD amplifiers that ish would be epic.

[gfhnk]

@IBleedMusick SMD D5500.1

[IBleedMusick]

@gfhnk Wait? Steve has an amp? Where? I don't think I have ever missed a vid and I am a member on the forum.

[gfhnk]

@IBleedMusick No no just wishful commenting lol.! he does not as of today have an Amplifier in the works. I m not sure hes ready for that. He's kinda modest from what I've seen.

[pyropsy01]

@IBleedMusick im right there with ya man

[audiofanaticz]

wow above and beyond what I was expexting, looks expensive!!! :(

[Wucares]

tony at the start of the video?:D

and another good and helpfull product for us audio guys

[McgregorKLB]

You guys are Pro with audio and electronics! Combining these skills will get you ear-damage for real!! :D Very nice!

[twistedchild420]

This just makes fucking sense!!!!!! Good job Tony and Juan! And thanks Meade for posting it up!

[TheModdder]

I want it now!

[leedonahue88]

cool but guaranteed to be pricey

[treverleefrechette]

DAMN......This..IS...All...OF.­..Genius... your the man steve. you have made some very good videos latly.. please keep them coming. and im waiting on a video update on the honda and rino. :D please do somthing with the honda..

[beliph123]

When can i order one?? That thing is pure awsome :D

[HAMMERxHCA]

SMD a true innovator and God in the audio world !!!

[Carmiel08]

that shit is fuckin tits dude

[WorldsDeepestBass]

i WILL buy one. even though it will be expensive and shipping will be a bomb because i live in the UK but i gotta agree - DAYUM! :) straight sexy lool

[70short]

All i can say is DAMN!!

[iloveporn412]

that is awesome, i want one

[brutisking]

This is going to be big in car&home AUDIO period! I love it!

YEE!

[techmaster170]

holly shit!!! That is beast!!!! Sure going to be expensive but would make a great piece of equipment for a person who has a shop. These guys that made this are a genius. I just got out of my digital logic class. Ahhh! Thats hard for me. lol

[dnbrhythm]

once done how much will this cost ?? about 300 dollars

[zunit128]

so sick

[tylermohn]

awesome!



[TheMrsverre123]

he should get a HD intro!!

[risenwarfare]

goddam when are these going up for sale cause clamping is a huge hassel

[coled7lan]

your product line up is increasing, the dd-1 was the thing that every1 needed, as the o-scope was just not convenient!

[streetrider12]

I think SMD is the new generation of audio settings... I like much acustic and Meade...you have good ideas!!

[darkraidify]

Looks like you guys are gonna go big. Seeing some frickin awesome stuff coming from this team of people!

[mikeBURRITO]

wow... cant wait till it's handheld!

[brainyb420]

you sir are why america is the best country in the world. you got the fliest whips, the coolest friends , good paying job and are steadily working on inventing new things. Honestly, I guess one day you decided you was gonna live life right and did. great job on life dude.

[keb0ng]

F*duck sound*KING SMART!

[Troydigga]

Want one

[bassmekanik101]

How much

[Loudizzzzle]

That's pretty kick ass man... I kinda understand the electrical theories these guys are usin... pretty smart stuff! From the look of the components used it could go in a MUCH smaller case. Given the price of the DD-1 alone I can see why you would say the normal consumer isn't going to want to run out and get this. Would be a great idea for a shop though. Excellent idea of showing how much more power gained after using a DD-1. I wish there was a reaction choice of GOD DAMNIT HE DID IT AGAIN!

[Loudizzzzle]

@Loudizzzzle INCREDIBLE+LIKED! (As if I needed to say that)

[g19lover]

That's sick!

[ktofere]

Kinda big. Are you gunna redesgin it to be smaller or is that impossible?

[m4sta2]

@ktofere Dont think its possible of the ohm loads

[MrEPADOGG]

SMD=str8 makin dough



[MrEPADOGG]

I've been waiting for something to test the true watts of an amp. will this be a finished product to be sold like the DD-1? maybe this might change how these cheaper brands label their watts? I remember buying no name brand amps that say 1500 Watts when it really was 1/3 of what it claimed. I used to think that was rms. lol. someone had to come up with it. good shit.

[miggtt699]

im gonna buy me one of these ^_^

[uCallMeMC2]

NICE!!!



[pinoy1225]

This video is too high tech for me

[0hm4g3]

been waiting for one of these for so long.. ammeter, multimeter and a calculator all in one package. this coupled with the Distortion Detector is all any audio enthusiast/installer will ever need

[shanklin07]

Steve I'm telling you I love these type of videos. I'm a huge audio nerd, this stuff is great!

[DeVilleL13]

Whats the max watt age it can detect on the dyno, i see the screen is't that big??

[TheBetterMethod]

So will the Dyno be available as an add-on unit to the DD1? If so, thank you!!!

[RidinChevySolo]

Does it cook pizza rolls?!

[1boostup]

Crown power FTWFW !!!

[dtadpole]

Nice! Love seeing the technical side of sound!

[djwillyp]

finally something for us pro audio guys,sweet!

[PJRehlaender]

get me one of those.

[Stev3419]

Hey Meade does either Juan Or Tony D have their own Youtube channels.

[uselesstheory]

cheaper than buying a clamp meter? and or a MM? lol

[allmotorhash]

max power handeling?

[GamerDude485]

Hooooly Sheeeeet

[Lordarcane1983]

Steve, this looks sick! this and the dd-1 man just great great work from you guys. can't wait to get me the dd-1, now i want this too. lol if it wasn't for my wedding this friday i would have already order the dd-1 but need the money to help with the kegs :)

[elited5]

really good demo sir.thanks.

[the666bud]

how much will it cost i want one

[56mrmike]

wow any idea when this will be completed and released to public for purchase?? i would love to use this for a couple amps in my car.

[woodzyspl]

next vid do the hoe.

[iggster1986]

For dbdrag competitors if you add the feature off different ohms down to say .25 ohms this will help ALLOT to test different amps at different ohms to see which one to use. This is gonna be sick, I thought the first thing was cool, this thing tops it.

[woodzyspl]

@iggster1986 thought the same thing. even to check if some amps are stable down low low

[killaslice7]

Pretty badass

[x1337xCAZIE]

This is pretty sick, you guys are bringing a whole new science to car audio and it gives a new name to "bassheads" everywhere.

[psycodude12]

test the sx 1980 supposed to be the boat that pioneer will blow that yamaha away

[HateBrutal]

Damn this is neat!

[agentindy]

It sounds interesting, so good work and well done, and I wish you all the best. ;)

[InZsKillz]

u need to change the intro

[jceezy2002]

Please do the audiopipe 1800d. I need ta know! ! Lol

[psycodude12]

what was the model no of the fisher ????

[shawn12333027]

dude your just amazing thanks for the awesome videos and do you still have the awesome is f that is my dream car

[gotbass21]

where can i buy one haha i alread bought the dd-1 but it still hasnt come yet im not worried tho car alternator still is on the way

[caraudioman16]

amazing :D
