- The JBL Charge 5 portable bluetooth speaker was just announced in 2021 but it's predecessor still has plenty of power. In fact, the main driver is fed with the same 30 watts as the new JBL Charge 5, which also has a separate 10 watt channel powering it's newly added high frequency driver.

Get your Charge 4 from Amazon: amzn.to/2Pcq6xa
For this to work, the Charge 4 has to be in the so called LFM or "low frequency mode" which disables it's DSP filters thus allowing the lowest frequencies on the output. This can be achieved by pressing for 10 seconds the Pairing and Vol down buttons. Also I used heavily bass boosted songs to achieve the most excursion without too much upper frequencies.
@Jestem Mati Why?
Or some good speaker's ;)
Audio Curiosity try this song: ua-cam.com/video/39eEREEVc8c/v-deo.html
Do this with two Orions
Audio Curiosity if you can build a box tuned to say 30 Hz that would really show what they can do. It will be heaps louder!
Now put the subs in a sealed enclosure and test again.
the excursion will go from 15mm to 1.5 :)
If i didnt post this comment i knew someone else would.😂😂
I vote for a Ported Enclosure
Make a boombox with the Charge on top and the subs on the side
can you test again with 4 speaker :D
These tiny digital amps act like huge high current amps!..amazing! ..the quality of POWER is truly stunning!
Do video "jbl charge 4 powering full home cinema"
an entire concert
That works work really well if it was a 5.1 surround sound with like 3 watt speakers on the front a 15 watt sub and whatever else is left
Wolfee OMG YESSS
🤣
It would probably even work haha fckn JBL 👌👌👌🤣🤣
That’s stunning! Didn’t believe at first when seeing the thumbnail but fam, it’s happening!
Oh yeah, the JBL’s original woofers which came with it has probably an equivalent Resistance when compared with the two speakers. It works cause it’s capable of. But what doesn’t would be the amps used to power those badass wobblers up. It needs more voltage though the JBL seems to have no problem with it. That can kill the JBL Integrated Amps
Amp temperature 420 degrees celsius 😁
Hateration 99 degrees Celsius
More than 420...... RIP charge 4

Now do this with JBL Xtreme
With two 15s 😂
@@ROADSTER29 12s
@@jitbass. why. Homie already did 12s with the charge 4. It would be a better video title. More people would be intrigued that a bluetooth speaker could power a set of 15s.
Now with jlW7 😂😂
Yes do this to xtreme 2 plz
5:00 : truck engine 🤣🤣
Battery will finish in 5 mins lol
Why?
@@megamixkiller622 no, you can also connect a 1000w sub, but the power that the jbl's amp will be able to deliver will come
Less ohms on those subs means less resistance so they draw more current draining the battery faster
I wish i lasted 5 minutes ;(
@@megamixkiller622 yes, because there is less impedance than the speakers, the more current passes, and therefore the batteries drain quickly, but if a thousand-watt diver has the same impedance as the charge 4, the battery would last the same.
6:00 its like the noise a cat makes when you pet the cat haha
lol yea it does sound like a purr
@@AudioCuriosity :)
@Patrick Star i understand what it means but i don't remember the other word for it
@@hentz9413 there's another word for it?
Try with the boombox lol
good idea
Please🙏
Just F0X can we bridge the boombox’s amp
boombox will blow that subs lol
Pawcio354 it doesn’t even do 50 watts and those subs are prob 350-500 watts
You have wired up these Parallel, that could kill the Amp fast. Its not made for 2Ohm Load!
they're 8 ohms each so a 4 ohm load is safe for the amp :)
Where did ya score 8ohm versions of those subs ? Or are they just woofers doing that good of a job ?
@@katzinc1971 Just bought the pair used a few years ago, they're old school JL's model 12W1-8 I think
@@AudioCuriosity ....pretty awesome idea..... Truly wonder how they would sound in boxes running off the Charge 4 😁
If i remember right these old JL have very high sensitivity that would be a good reason a small amp like this could drive them
Lol any JBL Bluetooth speakers amp can power 12"x2 ive done it with the charge2+ charge3 the xterm and the clip 2 they do great amps
How about the pulse 3
Every mobile speaker will power much bigger speakers without any problem. I tried with many speakers and I'm not even impressed XD
Nice experiment! Some considerations: a)Those boys are operating on free air conditions, so they will excursion quite a bit more than when enclosed; b)These subs operate with a relatively low power input, thus the amp will deliver what they need to excursion well-ish (i supose they are oldschool 12w0-4 125W; c)The amp is a Class D TPA3128D2 and this chip can deliver 2 × 30 W Into a 8-Ω BTL Load at 24 V, but of course the battery on the device operates on a lower tension. Probably 3,4V to 4,2V (1x18650) or the double of that, so the rated 30W for the single active driver makes sense and can push the subs. Keep on with the nice work.
thanks for watching!
@@AudioCuriosity Do you know how many 18650 batteries it uses?
The charge 4 is using a switch regulator amp thats why its strong enough to power enen 2 12 s. Just deending on the battery amprage
D class chip
If only audio was that simple, it would be a whole lot cheaper and smaller and lighter
That charge 4 about to have a stroke 🤣
How about making a low-mid-high set in a decent enclosure to see how loud it can get...
This is simply impossible as the circuit cannot handle such wattage and voltages. also that JBL speaker can put out 30 watts MAX and no more. the voltages running through those 12''s would blow that tiny speaker within seconds. There's a wire somewhere that he's not showing us, there has to be.
No i did this same with jbl go lol
How are you watching the possible and saying its impossible not realizing it is? Rather than watching it, do it, and prove yourself otherwise...again.
Prominenze nope
@@aarriikknn33ll bruh, the battery inside that speaker is 7 volts, how tf you gonna tell me that's gonna power 2 power hungry 12"s
@@prominenze4934 try it, youll see. Its in free air, they move way more because of that.
My mind is blown ur a genius
haha thanks for watching man
Gets 3 whole songs before needing a recharge 🤣
Dang seriously? No way, does it actually discharge the charge 4 after 3 whole songe from full battery? (Assuming 2 12" full volume?)
Small update (I was the guy who was asking questions about the charge 3 vs 4) I actually bought the charge 3 and it’s AWESOME 🔥
good luck with your new speaker! Charge 3 is still a great buy especially with a price deal
Audio Curiosity thanks! :D
I almost blow out 8" subwoofer with xtreme 2 i have on video
nice!
So what does this prove? 30watts will move two 12" subwoofers. Pretty much any 30watt amplifier would do the same.
Yeah
Does the charge 4 realy just have 1 speaker inside ? All other Jbl Bluetooth speakers had 2 speakers inside
Yup, they went mono which is pretty nasty in my opinion
thats wut i was wondering
Thought they had "subs" on the ends.
Yes they adopted a single (but more powerful) driver in their newer models, same with the upcoming Flip 5. Personally I don't think it's necessarily a bad move.
Mike those are not "subs" but simple resonator membranes that emphasize the bass. They don't have magnets or coils.
@@AudioCuriosity didn't mean "subs" per say. Just that they had more travel than a normal tweeter sized speaker. And I see now that they are more like a reflex type of deal than anything. Still pretty damn cool thought!
+1 if you want to test the same thing with BoomBox !
Ultimate Giorgos goddamn dumb people the boombox is 30 watts a channel
However you show the wires, there could be a hole trough the charge 4 and the table to power the woofers, but there is no reasob to do that. Cool videos, love your content!
are you fucking kidding me.
haha I knew someone will think this but when I realized it was too late as I was already editing. there are people that also think the earth is flat so they can believe anything lol
So ignorant.
@@AudioCuriosity it is Flat
SiMs so’s ya head mate😂
JBL Power for the win!
There are way better speaker's than JBL...
@Just F0X It don't buy complete speaker's from companies. I build my own.
Calling someone a "Sony Fanboy" for saying that there is something better than JBL is stupid.
"Now thats a custom job"
gta 5 lsc XD
PLEASE: With a SONY SRS-XB31 (or 30) that is the main rival of the charge4 now
I did it with the srs xb-31 wired to a single 12" (1000 watt) hadn't seen this video but just naturally had the curiosity to try it and it blew my mind that it worked. try it for yourself.
Put liqued nitrogen inside jbl charge 4 after 5minutes😂😂
Put it in low frequency mode. Hold the Bluetooth paring button and the volume down button simultaneously until the connect+ light glows.
yup, it was in LFM otherwise there wouldn't be any output under like 50 hz
That bit** tired AF after that.
I work at JL Audio and I also have a charge 4 I'll be showing this to some co workers
That's awesome, let me know what they say haha. Thanks for watching
now try this with a sundown zv5 12
Rylan Bourque LoL it wont move an inch
Lol. Probably kills the battery as soon as the bass kicks in
If i had a charge id try with a nightshade v2 18
Lol, i ordered a sundown zv5 15 and have a charge 3, now i am curious what its gonna do lol
@@Lowered_basspeugje151.47 let us know lol
Charge 4 specs say 30W which is plenty to flex freeair subs. But two subs in parallel may fry the amp because the impedance is too low.
Actually not because in this case the subs are 8 Ohms (they're old school meant to be used in pairs). But yes, otherwise the amp would probably get damaged or shut off because of overheating.
Try power subwoofer with jbl go 2
I’m so proud of buying one of these because their are so many experimental videos on UA-cam that I don’t have to do anything with my own lol
haha right
Powering 10 12” subwoofer’s using JBL party box 1000.
haha
i subbed because i do this all the time and now i can watch you do it . thanks man dig the channel
thank you!
Test aa boombox ❤
Yes please
That would probably blow them lol
Finally charge 4 got stereo instead of mono.
MistOriO7 no because In stereo the left plays different than right and right different than left

Try 2 15inch 👏
I just did something like this with my nexa speaker it's amazing how much those tiny speakers hold back the power
true, unless they're some really cheap Chinese ones, they can pack some punch
Put in low frequency mode

@@AudioCuriosity k.
Impressive. And entertaining. Need to see the diff between open air and enclosed.
Good to know, thanks for watching!
Good bass and good video !
thanks!
This is why I buy so many jbl speakers great products!
Zołnierz rebeli chaosu #SAVEYOURINTERNET Clip 3 yes is overpriced, maybe even Go 2, but $130 for the Charge 4 is quite OK
Can it power a hole car audio system
lol yeah but not loud
Battery life? How long? Make a test, how long it takes to empty charge 4 battery with such bass songs.
as impedance of 12inch driver is same so it consume same power as charge 4.
test with jbl go
Don't take much wattage free air to make them flex drop one in a ported box see what happens with air resistance......
You are correct. Still a fun experiment I suppose
Try the Sony XB41 next with the subs
Thank you for the video😀. That amp and battery is super powerful I wish JBL could put two of those amps and together and make a receiver
Try JBL Extreme with 18inch speaker
its subwoofer or liw soud speaker
Better with 33 inch Ground Zero
Every one wanting to see how these perform in a box , its impressive enough for such a little guy to power two 12 inch jbl my question is how many hours would you get out of these two subs.
Thanks, I completely agree. Regarding battery life, first it's not recommended to play it more than a few minutes because the DSP is disabled which allows the entire low frequency range output and that can heat up the amp too much. And since all this bass eats the battery faster than normal mode, I'd say probably half the usual play time or even less.
Jbl charge 4 is very strong
please do more videos like this. have you tried putting those subs in a box wile using the charge 4 amplifier? you would be amazed at how loud they would sound
thanks for the feedback, I plan on doing that but first I need to build a box for them
Anyone knows what is the song at 8:20?
xXPYROREXx I think bass test 50hz or 200hz something like that

Wow... I would love heard it inside the woofer box.. 👍👍👍
And that my friend is why JBL is priced the way it is......
By doing this you're just fucking up the motherboard of the charge four...never mind... it's a good test ...keep up with videos like these!
I can't see why, the subs are 8 ohms each so in parallel 4 which is ok for the JBL
Bluetooth subwoofer
Fun is when you put them in real cabinet ...
And just magic....
I had tried it with my 5w Bluetooth speaker amp board....
it worked awesome for some days, after 15days the PC board just burnt out....
This is what kids these days dont understand you dont need 10,000 watts to to slam,in my day we would use 8 12s @ 50rms per sub and we would hit 145-147 db
Yup. Thanks for watching and your comment.
After 2 min. battery goes to heaven... 😂
It is dangerous to Charge 4 AMP?
Logic,it's very dangerous
@@matheus14798 Can amp just pof?
@@prodmvky yes
@@matheus14798 well thats wrong unless he is dropping it to 2-1ohm then to the amp will be fine.
Bass Tester MaksymHEX Not really if: you don't play it too much (because it's LFM), don't play it at max where it clips, and don't use speakers/woofers with lower impedance than the original Charge 4 driver
Out curiosity audio curiosity, how long would you say the charge 4 full battery lasts after continuous playback with these subs?🤔I'm literally gonna try this with my charge soon with mts audio two 8" in a box😏
haven’t tried it for long because it’s not recommended to use the Charge with it’s DSP disabled (the only way to get low freq out of it) but my guess is not that much.. maybe 1 hour or less
Music please :(
I have done the same with my Xtreme, I have powered 2 12" subs, 1 6x9 speaker and 1 Twitter. I put the Xtreme in low freq. mod and connected to the power to max sound, and is very powerful, sorry but I don't have the video on UA-cam for a while
yup, it's pretty impressive the power these speakers pack, especially the larger ones like the xtreme
Trying sticking the wires in your mouth at Max volume
beatsfromchicago speaker wire does not shock you
Nice choice for subs them are some of my favorite!!
thanks for watching!
Músic ???
Why did the charge 4 never leave the same spot even after vibrating like that.
Try devialet phantom gold lol jk that thing uses circuits only and its a 4,500 watt Bluetooth speaker it will blow that up
Now try powering a 15 inch speaker pls

Depending on what series subs those are (really would like to know that information) they're wired down to either a 2 or 1 ohm load. The amp in the JBL Charge isn't rated for something that low. Also, you really don't need too much power to make a sub move. You can make it move with power well below the RMS rating of the subwoofer, but you will notice a lot of distortion and just poor sound quality once you get them in a box.
killeroliver1998 its a 4 ohm load
@@WuClear So they are 8 ohm subs? JL Audio doesn't make many if any single voice coil 8 ohm subwoofers.
killeroliver1998 They are. They are older models.
killeroliver1998 They're some old school 12W1-8. So 8 ohms each, 4 ohms parallel which is fine for the speakers' amp. It's true, you don't need much power to move a speaker that's rather high efficiency and has soft moving parts, but still I find it impressive for a small Bluetooth speaker to do this. Thanks for watching!
@@killeroliver1998 they're 4 ohm subs wired in series to make an 8 ohm connection

It's not, you can buy cheapest possible Bluetooth speaker and power bigger sub than those on video. Even 3w speaker will power those but it won't be much power. I tried once lamax speaker Amp 10w and it powered 600w sub without any issues so what's the matter XD
@@NejoPL But they will not power them like this..
@@kaedeschulz5422 my lamax Amp would power it more due to 2 channels for speakers instead of 1 handling both subs :)
@@NejoPL That say's nothing about the output. There are 2 subs in parallel. That means half the resistance compared to 1 sub and because of that double the power.
@@kaedeschulz5422 oh boi, another jbl Fanboy :(
Jbl amps are not that powerful as you may think, cheap Chinese will be twice as powerful as jbl charge 4.
I know what you think but that's true, the difference is in quality but still in physics Power = Power.
When Chinese gives you 50w it means 50w but in very poor quality. So before you comment something be sure that you know what are you talking about.
I checked it by myself :)
