Taramps HV80.000 CHIPEO High-Voltage Amplifier

High-voltage amplification for specialist car-audio systems

The Taramps HV80,000 CHIPEO is a single-channel high-voltage amplifier intended for carefully engineered audio installations. Its listed Flexible Power range varies with the battery-bank voltage and speaker impedance; it is not a conventional 12 V amplifier.

Performance by configuration

• The source describes a 50,000–80,000 W RMS range across configurations, but does not provide a complete rating table.
• Listed maximum at 300 V DC and 0.5 ohm: 80,000 W RMS, specified for competition use.
• Listed maximum at 300 V DC and 1 ohm: 40,000 W RMS. The 80,000 W figure does not apply to this load.
• One audio channel; listed frequency response of 10 Hz–15 kHz (-1 dB).

Technical specifications from the original listing

• Operating voltage: 176–300 V DC, described in the source as 14–24 batteries in series; confirm all configuration limits in the manufacturer's manual.
• Listed efficiency: 90% at 1 ohm at maximum power; input sensitivity: 500 mV at 1 ohm with level at 100%.
• Listed total harmonic distortion: 0.3%; signal-to-noise ratio: >95 dB.
