The Soundigital 8000.1 4.0 evo Review – How Good Is The 8k?

Literally, every time I get the chance to sell A SounDigital 8000.1 Evo one of my other installers takes the installation or the customer decides to install it themselves. Bummer, but at least I’ve gotten the chance to tune a few and really listen to how ridiculously disrespectful this thing hits.

I kept a user manual from the last install a tech did here so that I could have the actual specs when I wrote this article. Without further due, this is the rundown of the 8000.1 Evo By soundigital.

What Sets The Soundigital 8k Apart?

What makes this amplifier so unique and popular? Well, for starters, it’s one of the most powerful car amplifiers on the market, capable of delivering a whopping 8,000 watts of power. That means you’ll be able to crank up the volume and enjoy your music like never before.

But it’s not just about power. The Soundigital 8000.1 Evo is also renowned for its exceptional sound quality, thanks to its advanced digital signal processing technology. This amplifier can deliver crisp, clear, and accurate sound reproduction that will make your music sound better than ever before.

8000.1 EVO 1ohm Vs 2ohm

SounDigital 8000.1 EVO 4.0 – 1 OHM

Power @ 1Ω: 1 X 8000W RMS
Power @ 2Ω: 1 X 5280W RMS
Power @ 4Ω: 1 X 3485W RMS

The 8000.1 EVO – 1 ohm version will achieve louder bass but will consume more power doing so. This amplifier also runs a little hotter after a while at high volumes.

SounDigital 8000.1 EVO 4.0 – 2 OHM

Power @ 1Ω: N/A
Power @ 2Ω: 1 X 8000W RMS
Power @ 4Ω: 1 X 5280W RMS

The 8000.1 EVO – 2 ohm version consumes a little less power but will not be able to make the same decibels. 2 ohm stable builds often heat up a little after jamming for a while.

Tuning The 8000.1 Evo

Cross Over Adjustments

• Assign a value to the “HIGH” variable control that falls between 5 Hz and 80 Hz. This will determine the frequency range for the high-pass cut filter.
• Assign a value to the “LOW” variable control that falls between 50 Hz and 20 kHz. This will determine the frequency range for the low-pass cut filter.
• For the Bandpass option, you can assign a bandpass configuration by assigning the high and the low crossover positions.

Bass Boost Adjustments

The Bass Boost setting on the amplifier can be used to increase the volume of low-frequency sounds in the audio system. This is achieved through a semi-parametric equalizer circuit that includes a fixed filter with a “Q” value, an adjustable boost intensity ranging from 0 to +12dB (16 times), and a central frequency adjustment in 50Hz increments. This feature is versatile and can be used with a range of different sound systems.

Using The SounDigital 8000.1 Evo

When it comes to using the Soundigital 8000.1 Evo, there are also some tips and tricks to keep in mind.
