Back in the late 90s early 2000s I would have laughed right in someone's face if they said they had a single 3000wrms amp then showed me something that size. Absolutely crazy how far things have come, 98% efficiency... that's borderline magical.
One of the many downsides of old school Class AB amps the horrific size of the amps, the horrific efficiency, etc. Many guys talk up the SQ of Class AB but less than 1% THD is the same if its a Class AB or Class D amp...
Yeah, look at the JBL Crown 6k that came out in 2005-2006. That was a huge amplifier. Now, you look at the same power from amps like this and the Taramps Smart 5k. They seem tiny for the power they put out.
I was calling people idiots last year when they were posting on a site asking if anyone had a used 4k watt amp for sale. I was going to shows when 10k watts was what the PPI van was sporting and had 3" plexi windshield in an astro (ci 1990- 91) , well i guess it was 2 years ago now. Amazing how far (and cheaper) we have progressed
Turns out i was the idiot.. and it all woke back up because of this very channel. I will say i have more patience now, and dont rush my installs like when i was 16 lol
Man I’m super happy with the results! Great job on another test of one of our amps as well! Super excited to see what comes from the bigger ones and really looking forward to you putting the bigger ones on that kicker quad box… especially the JP83… it’s gonna get them moving for sure 🔊🔊🔊🔊😵😵😵😵
My hat goes off to you man you made one hell of an amp and I knew she was going to be a serious contender if not better then the Orion hcca3000.1dsplx because of the features with the Bluetooth bass knob and at the price point to which is really close with the hcca there at like $650 and you still beat that I love the color to just wow brother truly incredible and can't wait to see what the other amps have in store! Congratulations 🎊
It protected itself, unlike a certain overpriced brand most are super familiar with. Jp is definitely giving some solid value for the $ here. Nice remote knob, clean looking chassis, well built, protection circuits that actually work. Other brands should definitely take note.
@@djkeys415s yup, she's tough and good value. Ill add that I think all amps should be put to the 1/2 ohm resistive load test, if they pass, well, obviously the reliability, and quality is there.
@@georgesrisomsak9650 Considering the impedance of some 1 ohm subwoofers dip under 1 ohm it would be interesting to see what happens to some of the "1 ohm rated" amplifiers
@@SprinkCalSA indeed, and considering a lot wire to half ohm.and under that even, would know the amp can handle a couple protection cycles, without failure. Jp sure seems to not be worried about D's low resistive testing, I feel it's probably very solid.
I love these amps, how the call back to the old US Amps and other American companies' heatsink designs and cool anodization colors combined with top-quality Korean halfbridge circuit design and high-quality components. Down4Sound really hit it out of the park with these and I hope they make a crapload of money off these and demonstrate to the rest of the industry that there is strong demand for high quality modern amps with old school looks. Imagine an amp that looks like the PPI Art Series amps or old school Zapco but with fullbridge guts.

I just started buying vehicles, instead of rebuilding 😎 we are get use to it and then it’s not as loud to us anymore. Like chasing that fist high!
Honestly I think this looks like an absolute win. I'd almost like to see a dyno comparison of the hcca 3k splx vs jp33 vs smart 5k/smart bass 5k. I think that'd be an amazing battle. I've been considering all of them personally to run and just cant make up my mind.
It's like JP literally listened to all the complaints about other amp's design flaws and fixed them. First thing I noticed was the spacing between each power and speaker connection. Next was the connections themselves....power and signal. Like you said, these are some of the best looking RCA connectors I've ever seen in car audio. The amp's preamp stage and the adjustments are just plentiful, they are useful! I know you said the power reminds you of the Orions but to me, the colors and rounded sides, remind me of U.S. Amps and if they decided to made some badass class D amps. I don't know how they could possible compete with these though. I realllllllllyyyyy want to hear a stereo version, 2 or 4 channel and just do some real world good old music listening for testing! I do not think I'd be let down!
They have a limited edition 2ch Class AB and a production 4ch Class AB I can’t wait to try. A former US Amps employee had input in these so that’s where you see the similarities 👌
Wow that's the nicest d4s amp I've seen. Metal pots, Tiffany style connectors, dual power and speaker hookups, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of the synergy wfo 3k im using rn im afraid the synergy has still got mo powa but for the size, nice amp. I'll have my eye out for a couple of the 4300s. Thanks for the beautiful bean footage brotha, keep em comin!
@@wal I know that's why I'm just staying with my 8k Soundqubed amp once it gets fixed😅 yes the 8k fullbridge Soundqubed amp shorted out when my subwoofers blew. I'm going to switch to American Bass for subwoofers.
Thanks brother I appreciate ur help u do a public service for real I won't purchase another amp unless I can't find it on ur channel keep on the good work sir
This deserves a re-visit. The JP-23 in uncertified mode draws 134 amps and puts out 1550 into 2 ohms. The JP33 draws 134 amps and puts out 1960 watts at 4 OHMS. so you get 500 watts with the JP33 wi ththe same draw. My electrical stock pretty much with a 145 amp alternator, the big 3 done and a Optima Red Top battery, so this would be huge for me.
im saying the same thing in my head cause at 2 ohm this amp puts out close to 3500 rms close to the 15 inch wdx 7k DB close enough but not over the rms but seems good to me
Thanks for the video!!! I had a lot of anticipation for these I can't wait for the rest, BTW all of the editing done to show what everything is and the results are spot definitely a good improvement 👍
Yes! Awesome surprise to see this today. I figured it would take longer. Been looking forward to seeing these bigger JP amps. The only competition right now is probably the Taramps Smart 5k or 3k, depending on your electrical situation.
I'll take a smart 3k or smart 5k with same power at different ohm loads it will make more power at different ohm but these jp amp are awesome looking Tiffany rca should be on every amp in my opinion taramp needs better control knobs then I have no complaints but power to price u can get what 2 smart 5k amps for the price of 1 JP 33
Taramps definitely wins as far as price to power output and the fact that it makes basically 6k at 1 ohm and 2 ohms. Some people don't care about the $$ difference though and they want a nice Korean half bridge they can run at .5 ohm. I can understand that.
@@OrionHCCC26 the Orion was the first with the compact Korean halfbridge. But they are similar to these. It’s just that Orion didn’t spare any expense on the 3k. That’s why it’s different from the 5k and 8k in the same series
With amp efficiency being what they are these days, I really wanna see more downsized, under-the-seat amps. I don't think people realize how loud a 1000w amp really is. Huge bass is mice but after 1-2k it becomes a game of big-box subs to make more bass. I like a decent 10 with 500w in a decent box, I also like storage space for things like people... and stuff.
Theres plenty of loud subs that have small box requirements. Sealed enosures the smallest. And some 12 subs that are 1k rms use 1.5 cubes per sub thats on a 3 cube box design it for ur specific car and the box will seem even smaller.
@@joshholden8561 ur missing the point. U can get PLENTY loud and deep with a smaller sub, 10" and like 500 watts, and that 500w amp can literally be the size of your hand. I wanna see more of those amps being tested. 3k is nice but if u run 3k into anything it's gonna be the size of a house. 500-1000w is damn near over kill in a small car enviro with a nice clean install.
I see a lot of people hating on JP and his amplifiers, but they are currently the best value for a Korean hackbridge outside of Crescendo audio. Hopefully he keeps the price affordable. If he does he will definitely reach the profit margins he wants just buy pure sale volume. I'm working on getting the jp63. Look forward to seeing the numbers, all though it is not necessary for me to make my purchase.
@@wal yup, familiar with the circuit 😉. I can supply all the current's 😆 running a Korean 4k right now @ .5 voltage drops .2v from 14.8 not even hitting the top 10% of a JY80 thanks to a 370alt.
The sight of those kickers takes me back .... way back to the usac competitions and dj magic Mike days ! Shew 🤘🏾 before the square design I should say .
I'm late, how did that happen? D what a great video love ya man. I had no idea this amp would perform like it did and when you said it reminded you of the splx3k I was thinking the same thing, what an amp! JP in a hero the industry. God bless you both.
Down 4 sound you guys really hit the jackpot with these Amplifiers built quality is Amazing I know I won't have any big problems repairing one of these Amplifiers great job guys keep up the good work nuff respect to you Big D 👍 👍 🙏
@@walquestion, the site say you HAVE TO HAVE electrical upgrades such as HO Alt, reserve battery and big 3. I understand that’s needed if you want to run it at 2 or 1 ohm, but what about for just 4 ohms?
@@supadupa6891 still pulling 190 amps at 14.7v at 4 ohm, that's asking a lot from factory electrical probably closer to 250 amp's figuring realistic voltage drop
I have a JP33 on 2-18" Skar EVL's in a 10cuft box. 2 runs of 0 ga wire,big 3 and 2 batteries stock 160amp alt. You better have a 300a alt. This amp blew the motor completely off of one of the subs,also my Yukon reeked of burnt voice coils.
This beast reminds me of the Orion hcca3000.1dsplx this is so exciting and refreshing to see someone finally make an app that is a beast and a competitor not only in power but also it cost to the hcca 3K my hat goes off to j.p. big-time
Love the videos you have done on jp amps!! If your were choosing an amp to run a sundown x15v3 which jp amp would you chose if electrical is not an issue I was going to get a salt 4 or 6 but I kinda like the FL orange jp amp would look nice in my set up
@@wal I just got a 320 Amp alternator from Autotech and of course the JP33 is on backorder, so I got my backorder in. $599 seems like a joke for what you get.
I love this amp Big D. I can't wait to see Orange 43 too. Very powerful and rather small. If you have a portable battery, can you use it with bass knob?
I have been contemplating selling my Taramps Smart 3k and getting an amp that still does close to 2000 watts at 4 ohms to power my Dayton Audio Kraken 21", mainly because the 3k does not have a bass knob. I listen to all types of music, so bass knob is needed. so this amps is very tempting.
@@wal You are the man. You have directly led to the purchase of my last 3 sub amps. A Skar 2000.1, then the Taramps, now maybe the JP33. It's only maybe because I'm trying to figure out how to justify buying a new amp to my wife. Or I could just Paypal credit it and ask for forgiveness, not permission. Where do you live and do you have a couch if this goes bad, lol. I am actually thinking about hitting some shows close to North Georgia if you know of any, so people can hear the Kraken. I have a stock 145 amp alt, Optima Red Top and my lights don't even dim.
does that said 85c? i wonder what happen, the other amps d4s used 105c, wonder why this new korean amp use 85c. Not that it'll matter, i am sure it will last the lifetime of whatever car this hook up to, but it nice to have that reassurance. 😄
@@wal question, If I just run this at 4ohms, will I still need to get a HO alternator? And if I go 1ohm, would I have to use the double power/ground outputs for each of the original outputs?
Thanks for posting I got this amp earlier today via this channel, but I got black not grey so you might not get any commission. The last JP amp i got via your vid is still kicking after several years of abuse. This tab was still open. Figured I would let you know.
I recommend always keeping the box and packaging for any expensive electronics. Amps, subs, phones, computers and parts. Never know when one is gonna fail and be under warranty or need to be sent off to be repaired in general. I literally just went through my room of boxes (yeah its a good sized pantry full of boxes lol) and got rid of a bunch of my computer stuff that's no longer under warranty. Sad day really lol. It was a pretty penny I paid for all that cardboard and styrofoam!
Why yes... Bumpeth it does indeed. 🤣 That is a real clean looking amp, to include the internals. Really dig the plexi under cover. What is the design intent of the knob having slow ramping to transition volume? I don't get it...
We're quickly headed toward something I predicted a few years ago...1000 watt amplifiers the size of a wallet or even a credit card. We're not there yet but, it's coming. Such a great time for those into aftermarket car audio. Lots of power for pennies per watt. Crazy the way things have changed since the late 80's.
Hey Big D. Will you be doing more vintage amp dynos I really enjoyed the old punch 150's u did and the old Phoenix gold stuff. Keep em coming man. Love your channel
@@wal you know what. To this day I appreciate the craftsmanship and quality of build with the old skool stuff. My daily driver I've got a clarion apa 4300hx and for the sub just an alpine mrp m500. But I've owned zapcos, phase linears, orion, Phoenix golds, and my favourite Rockford punch 150 from 1990 ish. Just something about these amps that just has a much better experience in sound presentation. Anyhow I subscribed to the xtras channel. Salute big d
I haven't watched this channel in awhile. Been too satisfied with my skar amps and subs. My Grand Marquis has developed issues that can only be caused by extreme bass like the window regulators falling apart inside the doors and bulbs frequently burning out from excessive vibration
@@wal thanks for your reply D. I was actually referring to the Power inputs. I know I will be limited on the power output of the amp. Just wanted to clarify what possibilities are with this amp.
Hi. Does it sound better than more powerful JP amps? It has better signal to noise ratio. What do you think, does this sound better at low volume levels than those 6 and 8kw amps?

Taking the industry by storm!
Those are just gorgious amps. Lots of power high efficiency and yes those Tiffany nuts are really nice in torx style.
😝👍
Love that gray! I might be the only person in car audio who wishes it made less power lol. I need this color in a JP8 😉 Great video as always
the gray color is SICK!! You and me both on the power side 👍
Your funny Rob!
Damn those amps are gonna take over . Beautiful amps . And very well made . 👏
👌😬👍
Yesss!!! Willie, another one! YEAHH! BOII!! 🇺🇸 🇯🇲 .
These JP amps definitely have the look!
These amps are WAY too powerful for any of my speakers but I’d agree they look ultra cool. I especially like the 5ch and JP8/84 combo
Great videos as always. Thanks for sharing 👍
Yes I always keep all boxes for that reason, collector.
It's like JP literally listened to all the complaints about other amp's design flaws and fixed them. First thing I noticed was the spacing between each power and speaker connection. Next was the connections themselves....power and signal. Like you said, these are some of the best looking RCA connectors I've ever seen in car audio. The amp's preamp stage and the adjustments are just plentiful, they are useful!
I know you said the power reminds you of the Orions but to me, the colors and rounded sides, remind me of U.S. Amps and if they decided to made some badass class D amps. I don't know how they could possible compete with these though. I realllllllllyyyyy want to hear a stereo version, 2 or 4 channel and just do some real world good old music listening for testing!
I do not think I'd be let down!
They have a limited edition 2ch Class AB and a production 4ch Class AB I can’t wait to try. A former US Amps employee had input in these so that’s where you see the similarities 👌
Wow that's the nicest d4s amp I've seen. Metal pots, Tiffany style connectors, dual power and speaker hookups, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of the synergy wfo 3k im using rn im afraid the synergy has still got mo powa but for the size, nice amp. I'll have my eye out for a couple of the 4300s. Thanks for the beautiful bean footage brotha, keep em comin!
I will be buying 2 of each amp! Jp is the man!!! And thank u big dee!!!! Collectors amps!!!
Yo that’s sweet! Please use my links, that would be much appreciated 👌
So far for me this are the best amps on the market
GREAT REVIEW 👍 GREAT VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARE IT
They are very compelling offerings 🧐
If I had the money I would of got 2 of those and strapped them together. I love the amp.
Yo you’d need some serious electrical 😳
@@wal I know that's why I'm just staying with my 8k Soundqubed amp once it gets fixed😅 yes the 8k fullbridge Soundqubed amp shorted out when my subwoofers blew. I'm going to switch to American Bass for subwoofers.
Thanks brother I appreciate ur help u do a public service for real I won't purchase another amp unless I can't find it on ur channel keep on the good work sir
I appreciate the feedback 👌
This deserves a re-visit. The JP-23 in uncertified mode draws 134 amps and puts out 1550 into 2 ohms. The JP33 draws 134 amps and puts out 1960 watts at 4 OHMS. so you get 500 watts with the JP33 wi ththe same draw. My electrical stock pretty much with a 145 amp alternator, the big 3 done and a Optima Red Top battery, so this would be huge for me.
im saying the same thing in my head cause at 2 ohm this amp puts out close to 3500 rms close to the 15 inch wdx 7k DB close enough but not over the rms but seems good to me
Man, JP brangs that power. He knows how much we like bass in that Mississippi Delta.
Sho does!
Thanks for the video!!! I had a lot of anticipation for these I can't wait for the rest, BTW all of the editing done to show what everything is and the results are spot definitely a good improvement 👍
Thanks, always trying to make improvements 👌
These things are getting incredible. Nice video as always D.
👌😬👍
Yes! Awesome surprise to see this today. I figured it would take longer. Been looking forward to seeing these bigger JP amps. The only competition right now is probably the Taramps Smart 5k or 3k, depending on your electrical situation.
I'll take a smart 3k or smart 5k with same power at different ohm loads it will make more power at different ohm but these jp amp are awesome looking Tiffany rca should be on every amp in my opinion taramp needs better control knobs then I have no complaints but power to price u can get what 2 smart 5k amps for the price of 1 JP 33
And taramps makes full power at 12.5 volts these korean boards need huge amounts of power.
Taramps definitely wins as far as price to power output and the fact that it makes basically 6k at 1 ohm and 2 ohms. Some people don't care about the $$ difference though and they want a nice Korean half bridge they can run at .5 ohm. I can understand that.
Orion hcca splx 3k still pretty much dominates all the jp amps
@@OrionHCCC26 the Orion was the first with the compact Korean halfbridge. But they are similar to these. It’s just that Orion didn’t spare any expense on the 3k. That’s why it’s different from the 5k and 8k in the same series
Impressive, most impressive
Efficiency allows you to have a more powerful amp for a given electrical system. Amazing.
Yessir!
With amp efficiency being what they are these days, I really wanna see more downsized, under-the-seat amps. I don't think people realize how loud a 1000w amp really is. Huge bass is mice but after 1-2k it becomes a game of big-box subs to make more bass. I like a decent 10 with 500w in a decent box, I also like storage space for things like people... and stuff.
You like me must be getting old. We need space for stuff other than subs and amps!
I’m 51 and I approve this message
I have the aab4900.1 it's small
Theres plenty of loud subs that have small box requirements. Sealed enosures the smallest. And some 12 subs that are 1k rms use 1.5 cubes per sub thats on a 3 cube box design it for ur specific car and the box will seem even smaller.
@@joshholden8561 ur missing the point. U can get PLENTY loud and deep with a smaller sub, 10" and like 500 watts, and that 500w amp can literally be the size of your hand. I wanna see more of those amps being tested. 3k is nice but if u run 3k into anything it's gonna be the size of a house.
500-1000w is damn near over kill in a small car enviro with a nice clean install.
The U.S. Amps old school colors are my favorite part about these.
Yeah adds some flair
Jp picked the right man to test his amp!
Thanks buddy 👌
I see a lot of people hating on JP and his amplifiers, but they are currently the best value for a Korean hackbridge outside of Crescendo audio. Hopefully he keeps the price affordable. If he does he will definitely reach the profit margins he wants just buy pure sale volume. I'm working on getting the jp63. Look forward to seeing the numbers, all though it is not necessary for me to make my purchase.
I seriously doubt any would do anything less than rated. I’m feeding them healthy voltage, as I’d suggest for anyone using these 👌
@@wal yup, familiar with the circuit 😉. I can supply all the current's 😆 running a Korean 4k right now @ .5 voltage drops .2v from 14.8 not even hitting the top 10% of a JY80 thanks to a 370alt.
That's a really impressive amp! Great job JP, D4S, and especially BIG D!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
The sight of those kickers takes me back .... way back to the usac competitions and dj magic Mike days ! Shew 🤘🏾 before the square design I should say .
This was one of the few times that I truly believed Ice Cube's reaction. This thing COMMANDED those four 12 inch square Kickers!
100%
My Orion 2500d was twice this size, incredible little amp!
Yeah the surface mount components helped make it smaller
I knew that was going to be a little monster!!!
😬👍
I'm late, how did that happen? D what a great video love ya man. I had no idea this amp would perform like it did and when you said it reminded you of the splx3k I was thinking the same thing, what an amp! JP in a hero the industry. God bless you both.
👌😬👍
You know it's going to be good
This one amp would be MORE than enough for me! Great quality build and numbers that far exceed what's on print paper. Rare to see imo
😬👍
Love these companies that give you more than what you pay for !! Cant wait the see the other model tests!! What's the prediction for the 83?? 15k ..
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Down 4 sound you guys really hit the jackpot with these Amplifiers built quality is Amazing I know I won't have any big problems repairing one of these Amplifiers great job guys keep up the good work nuff respect to you Big D 👍 👍 🙏
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@walquestion, the site say you HAVE TO HAVE electrical upgrades such as HO Alt, reserve battery and big 3. I understand that’s needed if you want to run it at 2 or 1 ohm, but what about for just 4 ohms?
@@supadupa6891 still pulling 190 amps at 14.7v at 4 ohm, that's asking a lot from factory electrical probably closer to 250 amp's figuring realistic voltage drop
Every time I see a jp amp I think US Amps. Love the look of these amps.
Yessir, former US Amps employee was involved in the creation of these 👌
@@wal that makes sense
I really like the JP amps. 👍🏻
Can't wait for my project to be finished so i can hook my 5 channel JP amp 🇬🇧
👌😬👍
I have a JP33 on 2-18" Skar EVL's in a 10cuft box. 2 runs of 0 ga wire,big 3 and 2 batteries stock 160amp alt. You better have a 300a alt. This amp blew the motor completely off of one of the subs,also my Yukon reeked of burnt voice coils.
This beast reminds me of the Orion hcca3000.1dsplx this is so exciting and refreshing to see someone finally make an app that is a beast and a competitor not only in power but also it cost to the hcca 3K my hat goes off to j.p. big-time
Yeah it’s much nicer looking (to me) than the Orion, but that’s personal preference. The BT bass knob is a nice addition
Been waiting on this like a junkie for his fix
Mannnnnnnnnn, whoever is assembling these ideas are gonna the audio game.
👌😬👍
Love the videos you have done on jp amps!! If your were choosing an amp to run a sundown x15v3 which jp amp would you chose if electrical is not an issue I was going to get a salt 4 or 6 but I kinda like the FL orange jp amp would look nice in my set up
All the JP amps are BEASTS! Anyone who says differently are haters, or the owner of EMF!! 🤣 😂
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hiiiyoooo!
This thing at 4 OHMs is magical. About as efficient as modern Class D gonna get
Yep o
@@wal I just got a 320 Amp alternator from Autotech and of course the JP33 is on backorder, so I got my backorder in. $599 seems like a joke for what you get.
Oh God the Big D photoshop at the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was priceless!!!!!
Caught that? Yeah boi
@@wal yes sir 😂
The size of amps vs the power they put out now is just insane.
Yessir 👍
I love this amp Big D. I can't wait to see Orange 43 too. Very powerful and rather small. If you have a portable battery, can you use it with bass knob?
Sure can! USB power pack will work just fine, even a small one
@@wal Sick. Thank you for you response. 🥋🤛🤛🤛 Cobra Kai!!😡😡
Ive got the jp3300 running a Zv6 12 .I cant complain at all. this thing is strong !! Not for your bestbuy or walmart products lol.
I have been contemplating selling my Taramps Smart 3k and getting an amp that still does close to 2000 watts at 4 ohms to power my Dayton Audio Kraken 21", mainly because the 3k does not have a bass knob. I listen to all types of music, so bass knob is needed. so this amps is very tempting.
👌😬👍
@@wal You are the man. You have directly led to the purchase of my last 3 sub amps. A Skar 2000.1, then the Taramps, now maybe the JP33. It's only maybe because I'm trying to figure out how to justify buying a new amp to my wife. Or I could just Paypal credit it and ask for forgiveness, not permission. Where do you live and do you have a couch if this goes bad, lol. I am actually thinking about hitting some shows close to North Georgia if you know of any, so people can hear the Kraken. I have a stock 145 amp alt, Optima Red Top and my lights don't even dim.
This amp is a beast, I wonder if all this brand amps are over rms watts like this amp is really like what I see good video 👍🏻
From what I’ve seen they are all conservatively rated
Really liking the amps he has out.
Oh boi!!!! Love these Jp amps
👌😬👍
I wish we had so much quality and choice (at fair prices) when it comes to home audio amps and subwoofers
oh yeah baby, been waiting for new d4s new amps
👌😬👍
does that said 85c? i wonder what happen, the other amps d4s used 105c, wonder why this new korean amp use 85c. Not that it'll matter, i am sure it will last the lifetime of whatever car this hook up to, but it nice to have that reassurance. 😄
It Do bump doe !!
I can't wait to get my JP95 installed
👌😬👍
Hell yea Big D, love the content
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks bro! great amps from down4sound.
would you test some CTsound materials?
Thanks for the suggestion
This amp is prolly the best 3k amp out it’s solid all around
I love those Tiffany style connectors.
Love your content
Looks like I’m buying a new amp. This is great
They may be sold out, but more OTW ETA mid May
Just ordered one in Red. On SALE‼️ $509.00 Couldn't pass it up. Thanks for the video Big D 👍🏿
Awesome deal!
@@wal question, If I just run this at 4ohms, will I still need to get a HO alternator? And if I go 1ohm, would I have to use the double power/ground outputs for each of the original outputs?
I love these amps and the WIRELESS Bass Knob... SPL guys in the lanes must be happy about that...
😬👍
Thanks for posting I got this amp earlier today via this channel, but I got black not grey so you might not get any commission.
The last JP amp i got via your vid is still kicking after several years of abuse. This tab was still open. Figured I would let you know.
Thanks for the feedback! As long as you used my link I will get credit and it's much appreciated (color doesn't matter)
I recommend always keeping the box and packaging for any expensive electronics. Amps, subs, phones, computers and parts. Never know when one is gonna fail and be under warranty or need to be sent off to be repaired in general. I literally just went through my room of boxes (yeah its a good sized pantry full of boxes lol) and got rid of a bunch of my computer stuff that's no longer under warranty. Sad day really lol. It was a pretty penny I paid for all that cardboard and styrofoam!
👌😬👍
Absolute beast
Yessir!
Beautiful Amp 👍
👌😬👍
Nice!
Why yes... Bumpeth it does indeed. 🤣
That is a real clean looking amp, to include the internals. Really dig the plexi under cover.
What is the design intent of the knob having slow ramping to transition volume? I don't get it...
Still using emojis, barf
Look at that current draw baby .woo-hoo need sum electrical mods for that puppy. Nice work big d
Yessir takes power to make power 💪
Remember back in the day if you had 1000watts you was the sh%t lol
Truth!
We're quickly headed toward something I predicted a few years ago...1000 watt amplifiers the size of a wallet or even a credit card. We're not there yet but, it's coming.
Such a great time for those into aftermarket car audio. Lots of power for pennies per watt. Crazy the way things have changed since the late 80's.
I agree sir! Hey you’ll like my upcoming video on WAE…the PPI ProMOS 50! Cool little amp!!
@@wal looking forward to it!
Hey Big D. Will you be doing more vintage amp dynos
I really enjoyed the old punch 150's u did and the old Phoenix gold stuff. Keep em coming man. Love your channel
Most of the old school testing and vids are moved over to my 2nd channel Williston Audio EXTRAS. Just not enough interest here, I wish there was!
@@wal you know what. To this day I appreciate the craftsmanship and quality of build with the old skool stuff. My daily driver I've got a clarion apa 4300hx and for the sub just an alpine mrp m500.
But I've owned zapcos, phase linears, orion, Phoenix golds, and my favourite Rockford punch 150 from 1990 ish.
Just something about these amps that just has a much better experience in sound presentation. Anyhow I subscribed to the xtras channel. Salute big d
very nice amp. thanks big D
Would you test my amplifier. Deaf bonce 4900.1 I would love to know the performance. I'm in NC
Thanks for the suggestion 👌
I haven't watched this channel in awhile. Been too satisfied with my skar amps and subs. My Grand Marquis has developed issues that can only be caused by extreme bass like the window regulators falling apart inside the doors and bulbs frequently burning out from excessive vibration
How many watts you running
Question: why is the LPF set to maximum? 🤔
For testing I don't want the crossover to interfere with the power output
Ok so if your just stock electrical what all will you need? Big 3, and bigger alternator or even a capacitor.
Awesome content Big D. In order to use this amp 4ohm, the use of both power terminals have to be used?
No, the speaker terminals are in parallel. Use one set or both, doesn't matter
@@wal thanks for your reply D. I was actually referring to the Power inputs. I know I will be limited on the power output of the amp. Just wanted to clarify what possibilities are with this amp.
Nasty!! I need this
😬👍
Hi. Does it sound better than more powerful JP amps? It has better signal to noise ratio. What do you think, does this sound better at low volume levels than those 6 and 8kw amps?
Test Them All. U da man Williston Audio Big D
They are coming over the next several weeks 👌
This is one of my favorite amp tests you've done.
What's the RMS rating on that quad box?
2400W Continuous on the Quad Box
@@wal is that at 1, 2 or 4 ohm?
