Amp Dyno-Stinger MT4000.1D

[00:00:00]All right, let's do another amp dyno test. Got another Stinger.

[00:00:05]Got another Stinger amp here. It This is the 4K, the MT -4000.1.

[00:00:13]And it is July the 19th, about 11:30 p.m.

[00:00:20]So, I've got it hooked up. Let's flip switch, turn it on.

[00:00:26]And this is the from the same guy that let me uh test his 5000, the MT-5000.1.

[00:00:33]Now, we've uh we've seen a few different people online test this exact amp.

[00:00:40]Um and you know, I had people on my channel saying, "Oh, the 4000's putting out more power than the 5000."

[00:00:48]So, but that was with different testing equipment.

[00:00:54]So, let's see.

[00:00:55]Let's compare apples to apples.

[00:00:58]So, this is the testing that I did on the 12th.

[00:01:04]You know, today's the 19th. So, there's the uh There's the results to that testing.

[00:01:14]So, let's I'm going [snorts] to have to go I'm going to have to go downstairs and write down the rated power. I should have already done that, but let's um Let's just start a new page here.

[00:01:33]Stinger MT-4000.1.

[00:01:39]And today is 7/19.

[00:01:42]So, 7/19/26.

[00:01:45]And we're going to do the same exact testing.

[00:01:49]Same exact testing. We'll do the 4 ohm, 2 ohm, 1 ohm at 14 and 1/2 volts.

[00:01:54]And we're going to go 12 volts, 13, 14, 15 volts.

[00:01:57]Okay?

[00:01:59]So, let me pause video. Let me go get the rated power for each, you know, 4 ohm, 2 ohm, 1 ohm.

[00:02:07]Write that stuff down. Put the phone on a stand. I'll be right back.

[00:02:11]Okay. So, at 4 ohms, you can see it's rated at 1,200 watts, at 2 ohms, rated at 2,300 watts, and at 1 ohm, rated at 4,000 watts.

[00:02:23]So, right now we're going to go 4 ohms clean.

[00:02:29]4 ohms clean, we'll start off about 14.5 volts.

[00:02:34]And I don't have to take my bank up to 15.5 volts to get it to hold at 14.5.

[00:02:40]>> Papa, why are you back up here?

[00:02:43]>> And hear Roselyn in the background hollering at me.

[00:02:49]All right. So, we're going to start off at 14.5 volts.

[00:02:53]So, here we go. 40 hertz, 14.5 volts.

[00:02:58]Let's go. Rated at 1,200 watts.

[00:03:02]I know we're going to exceed that. Let's go.

[00:03:07]So, 2,133 watts.

[00:03:12]And I can't remember and where it We dropped down to 14.46 volts. And again, you know, we we dropped 0.03 volts, 0.03.

[00:03:25]All right. So, let me pause it and write down all the stuff, calculate efficiency. We'll be right back.

[00:03:31]All right. So, we got 2,135 watts.

[00:03:39]And it was at about 81.86% efficiency. That's really good. You know, we're almost, you know, we'll get 80% more power.

[00:03:52]80% increase versus rated. That's great.

[00:03:56]Uh so, here we go. One click into clipping. Just one.

[00:04:00]Not three or four clicks like the AMM one does, but um just one click into clipping starting off at 14.51 V.

[00:04:11]Now watch. I don't have to increase my my my bank up to 15 and 1/2 V to to end up at 14 and 1/2 V.

[00:04:20]14.50 V. Here we go. One click into clipping. Here we go.

[00:04:28]We dropped down to 14.46 V.

[00:04:30]So, that was a.04 V drop..04 V. Not even a a half of a tenth.

[00:04:38]Not even half of a tenth of a V drop.

[00:04:40]So, let me write this stuff down, calculate efficiency, be right back with the two ohm test.

[00:04:46]All right. So, I four ohms into clipping, 82.5% efficiency. The estimated efficiency.

[00:04:55]All right. So, two ohms.

[00:04:57]Rated at 2300 W.

[00:05:00]Let's see what it does clean. All right.

[00:05:02]Starting off at 14.51 V. Here we go.

[00:05:08]3505 W dropping down to 14.44 V.

[00:05:12]Let me write this stuff down.

[00:05:14]And and note, look, THD.91%. We pulled 317.1 amps of current. 14.44 V.

[00:05:23]Yes, sir.

[00:05:24]I'll be right back. All right. So, two ohm clean, 76.55% efficiency.

[00:05:34]All right. That's that's some good uh that's some good power. And yes, this amplifier is and with my same testing and I'll I'll show the papers side by side. And in my testing, you know, identical equipment, it is producing just a little bit more power than the 5K.

[00:05:51]So, you know, go figure.

[00:05:53]What does Stinger do with the 5K? Did they just take 4K, upgrade some components inside to make it more stable, and then re-rate it to 5K because it was underrated anyway?

[00:06:03]I mean, that would be my educated guess.

[00:06:06]So, here we go. One click into clipping, starting off 14.52 V.

[00:06:12]Let's go.

[00:06:16]All right, 4,011 W at 4.39% THD.

[00:06:21]Um we pulled 363.9 amps of current. We dropped down to 14.44 V. Let me write this stuff down. I'll set up for the 1-ohm clean test. Be right back.

[00:06:31]Okay.

[00:06:32]So, 2-ohms clipped, we got 76.33% efficiency.

[00:06:38]Now set up for 1-ohms clean.

[00:06:41]1-ohm clean run, rated at 4,000 W. Can we get that 4,000 W? I do believe so.

[00:06:48]Starting off at 14.52 V. Here we go.

[00:06:54]So, 4,363 W at 0.9% THD.

[00:07:01]Dropped down to 14.42 V. We pulled 463.7 amps of current.

[00:07:08]I'm writing this stuff down, and I'll be right back.

[00:07:11]All right, so on that 1-ohm run, we got a little bit less than the 5K, but we still got more than the 4,000 W rated power.

[00:07:20]So, let's see what it does at one click into clipping.

[00:07:24]You know, it's going to be about 2% THD.

[00:07:27]All right, so we're starting off at 14.54 V.

[00:07:31]All All right, here we go. What are we going to get?

[00:07:35]I don't know, let's see.

[00:07:38]All right, so 5,258 W at 2.61% THD. You see the uh the clipping on the screen. All right.

[00:07:48]Barely in the clipping. Just one click.

[00:07:49]Not hard clipping like on the amp dyno test.

[00:07:53]14.42 volts. 582.4 amps of current.

[00:07:58]Let me write stuff down. I'll be right back.

[00:08:01]All right. We're draining the bank down to 12 volts.

[00:08:04]But there's the the results so far. 5,258 watts at 14.42 volts. We pulled 582.4 amps of current.

[00:08:15]62.61% efficiency. And that was just one click in the clipping.

[00:08:21]2.61% THD. That's something that the amp dyno is not going to show you.

[00:08:26]They can show you astronomical numbers.

[00:08:30]But I've shown you multiple times what the AMM-1 shows as far as clipping goes.

[00:08:36]10%, 15%, 20% THD.

[00:08:40]I don't know about the 81. I'm not spending $6,000 just to test that piece of equipment.

[00:08:46]But this piece of equipment right here will show you exactly what it's doing every single time. Let me drop this bank down to 12 volts. We'll do 12 volts, 13, 14, and 15 volts just like the other on the 5,000 watt amp. And then I'll show you the the papers side by side. And you can make your own decisions on which amplifier is more powerful. Okay?

[00:09:09]Let me write back.

[00:09:11]All right. So again, there's your results so far.

[00:09:16]Want to do one one ohm, one click in the clipping.

[00:09:22]Starting off at 12.1 volts. Here we go.

[00:09:28]3,826 watts.

[00:09:33]6.18% THD. And right at 12 volts. And I did not hit the max.

[00:09:41]So, let's redo that. Dag on it.

[00:09:45]We'll redo that.

[00:09:49]So, he's at 3826.

[00:09:52]So, let's reset that and we'll see how consistent this this device is.

[00:09:59]Cuz I made a a mistake. Didn't set the max on there on the clamp.

[00:10:05]12.10 volts. Here we go.

[00:10:09]So, 3814.

[00:10:11]So, how I wonder how consistent the amp dyno is, the AD-1. I know the A the AMM-1 is not consistent. But look, we was within what?

[00:10:22]Um 8 watts on those two runs. So, it dropped down to 12.01 volts. Let me charge this bank up to 13. We'll hit it again.

[00:10:32]You see the numbers. 6.1 1.4% THD, 515.3 amps of current, 12.01 volts, 3814 watts. I'll be right back.

[00:10:44]Okay. So, 61.63% THD, I mean, efficiency.

[00:10:51]61.63% efficiency at 12 volts.

[00:10:55]One click and a clipping.

[00:10:58]We'll start out at 13. We're at 13.08 volts right now. The THD's going to be uh little bit less. It'll be about 2% THD.

[00:11:08]Just the way that things work here.

[00:11:10]So, let's go.

[00:11:13]What's it going to do?

[00:11:17]4196 watts, 2.15% THD, dropped down to 12.97 volts.

[00:11:25]We pulled 517.2 amps of current. Let me write this stuff down. I'll be right back.

[00:11:31]Okay.

[00:11:32]So, we measured roughly 62.55% efficiency at 13 volts right at about 4200 watts.

[00:11:43]All right.

[00:11:44]So, [clears throat] we're at 14.11 volts.

[00:11:49]One click into clipping. Let's see what we got. Let's go.

[00:11:55]Ooh, 5007 watts at 13.98 volts.

[00:12:03]We pulled 582.1 amps of current, 4.38% THD.

[00:12:08]13.98 volts. Let me write this stuff down. I'll be right back.

[00:12:12]Okay.

[00:12:15]61.57% efficiency at 14 volts at at the 5000 watt mark.

[00:12:23]And this amp, it's got a little warm.

[00:12:25]I've been testing it and it's pretty warm up here anyway.

[00:12:30]So, we're starting off at 15.

[00:12:33]12 volts. Let me set the clamp to max.

[00:12:38]All right, here we go. One click into clipping. What's it going to do? 5K did 6308 watts.

[00:12:45]Let's see what this one's going to do.

[00:12:47]At 15 volts. Here we go. Starting off 15.11 volts. Let's go. One click into clipping.

[00:12:55]Yep.

[00:12:56]A lot of power.

[00:12:58]5953 watts at 6.24% THD.

[00:13:06]Now, drop down to 14.98 volts.

[00:13:09]650.4 amps of current is what we pulled.

[00:13:14]Let me write this stuff down and I'll be right back.

[00:13:18]Okay. So, I've got everything shut down.

[00:13:22]And there's the final results to the Stinger MT 4000.1.

[00:13:28]All right.

[00:13:30]Very good results.

[00:13:33]Very good results.

[00:13:35]Now, in my left hand is the Stinger 5000.

[00:13:40]1 So, y'all can screenshot it. Y'all can complain about it. Y'all can whine about it. Y'all can compare it to other people's videos and testing, whatever you want to do with it.

[00:13:55]But, that's what we came up with.

[00:13:57]I tested these amplifiers, both of these amplifiers in the exact same manner.

[00:14:04]To the T.

[00:14:06]Tested them exactly the same way. You saw both videos.

[00:14:12]You know, I've had people saying that the the other videos that they saw that with the 4000, the one we just tested, was producing better results than what I showed with the 5000.

[00:14:24]Well, here you go. Same testing equipment, which is more accurate.

[00:14:29]I mean, it shows everything. It shows It shows everything. It doesn't just show power and voltage. It shows everything.

[00:14:38]You know, so it's more sophisticated equipment than most people have. So, and my test bench's um power supply is a lot stronger than other people's uh that do testing. But, that's a story for another day. So, anyway, here you go.

[00:14:57]Here's the results. Do with it what you want to do with it.

[00:15:01]I'm done with it with these two amps. Uh thank you uh Justin um for allowing me to use your amplifiers to do this this testing. And I'm sure that a lot of people out there appreciate you letting me use your amplifiers to do this testing. That way they can make a sound judgment on which amplifier they want to use.

[00:15:23]So, that being said, that's it for this one.

[00:15:28]You have a good day.

[00:15:29]Peace.
