- One of my favorite amps I have tested was the Dual XPR82d. It was a bonkers value at $59.99 at Walmart. Well Dual Electronics said hold me beer for the reboot! This monoblock from their Jensen line is rated at 600W x1 @1ohm and can be had at any Walmart location. Does it hold true to spec like the old Dual XPR's... or is a straight bust.

I'm just happy to see cheaper Amps that have honest ratings.
Walmart cracked down on that really hard. Look at the Power Acoustik RZR2500 they sell, Walmart made them put the RMS ratings on it and put "peak" on the 2500 rating. I have a lot of respect for Walmart as of late, from the farms they own to produce Great Value dairy products to their pharmacies fighting opioid addiction by limiting how many you can get a time to forcing honest ratings on stuff. They're at least trying.
If only they would have added a way to connect to stream via BT...maybe the next version? No doubt these amps are a top value and although I don't usually recommend extended warranty's, on this one it's a no brainer. Pay the extra $8, if you don't , then you are the big dummy
big d in the house!
For $98 that extra $8 isn't gonna hurt anything. Definitely worth the purchase
Big d i have this hifonics amp that i would like you to test how can i send it to you?
Big D Wiz yaaaaaaa boyyyyyy that’s what I’m talking about.
Never know they might have a firmware update to do just that.
Jensen never disappointed in the 90s. Good budget amps.
I never had any issues with Jensen amps back in the day till I upgraded to the big boy stuff. I'm surprised they are made by dual they were notoriously overrated Jensen has always been solid on their output numbers
@@mesanders1113 They had good power. My buddy bridged a Jensen amp a seperate crossover on a single 12 in a home made bandpass. That sub beat for years til he upgraded the whole system to Pioneer IMP.
I’ve always loved their loudspeakers in guitar amps. They’ve been around a long time. I ran some 6x9’s and in the 90’s that sounded great. These newer dynos make me want to try them in a budget build
@@mesanders1113 both have long since been sold to a korean company.
Facts bro
I am old enough to remember when JENSEN coaxial speakers were the hot setup LOL
I had 3" in the dash, 6.5" in the door and 6x9 in the back.
Our age group right..lol
@Tsunauticus III In 1983 Jenson was the ONLY speakers to buy, I installed a many of the Tri-axle 6 x9s, a Killer all around speaker
@Tsunauticus III Jensen speakers go back along time they were used by Fender for guitar amps in the 50's they were top of the line
Those shiny blue ones? Lol
I can't say enough about the new dual .... Thank you dual for being the ones that do it the right way.
I remember when a Jensen amp twice that size made 150 watts and cost $159.99. That thing is a great value. 👍🏼
lol
That is indeed a gem. Miss some of my old Jensen amps from the '90s
The laughter mixed with get extended warranty for $8 and wire it at .25 ohm was great. Got me thinking hard tho. Especially when I can get employees discount on one. Great video. ✌
Yea that employee discount mixed with the cheap cost is definitely a nice thing. Id get 8 of them to run the 8 15s in my blazer if I hadn't sold it.
I got the razor 2500 amp he tested there with the warranty. It was under $100 with my wife’s discount and doesn’t clip till almost 800 on 2 ohms
I just ordered two of these with extended warranty for my semi install after watching this video today. ive always like to take budget brands and install as proper as possible to impress myself and show others,(you don't need to spend thousands) to get nice sound...on that same note im a fogate and orion enthusiast...of course I spent high dollar on my daughters newer car..
Great amp for $100. That’s so crazy, and even the terminals and stuff look nice. Great little amp. I can’t wait to see the 4 channel
I saw this amp at Walmart and was just thinking, pshhh more Walmart garbage. I'm blown away!
I was thinking the exact same thing 😂 can't believe how good they actually are.
@@franklinhernandez5255 loll MAN SAW TRASH BAGS IN THE AUDIO ISLE
I bought this based on your video. It replaced a Massive Audio BL2-M and is powering a Massive BG8 (loaded enclosure with a GTX84). This amp is so much better than the BL2-M and made the GTX84 come alive! I wanted to love the Massive amp, but I believe they are overrated.
I love, love, love being able to adjust the settings via my phone.
intro song @ 100% THD disortion
I legit paused and checked my headphones, then played something else to test it wasn't my computer output lol.
yea holy shit lmao. i was confused why my headphones were distorting so badly lol
Wasn't just me. Good.
@@wh4070 Me too, headphones never sounded that horrible before, lol.
@BASSNSANE intro made with jensen audio
Posted 5 hours ago and there sold out everywhere. 🤙👍👍👍
I had a Jensen amp back in the early 90's. I could drive from Norfolk, Va to Macon,Ga and that amp never cut off! Beating the whole 8 hour drive!
I’m running 2 kicker L7 10” 600 watts rms apiece and this little amp is really pushing these things. I’m gonna put another one in so each sub has its own. I’m impressed with this thing. No distortion. With two of them I can run em parallel and get down to the 1 ohm load.
I recently got one gifted from a friend after my old alpine amp died, and I was super skeptical because my alpine was a pretty big amp, and the fusing was way off, brother that thing earned my respect, we were giggling like little girls how stupid loud that amp is, it's hilarious how loud that thing is and to see the reaction if people when they see I'm running a Walmart sub amp🤣🤦🏻♂️
i have both the 4 channel 1000 watt i believe and the mono 1200 and they are great little amps and for cheap too u cant beat it
I got the 4ch version pushing a pair of Morel 502s in the front and a pair of Infinity Ref-5302s in the soundbar of muh jeep and I can honestly say, I am not disappointed.
Does yours do a hissing noise at all? My gains are really low, if I go higher than 7 my speakers distorts so it’s not set high, but I always hear a noise coming from the speakers, even with the RCAs unplugged lol I’m at a loss.
@@jgarcia1925 No hissing noise but if I have it on low volume, like barley audible, the audio signal cuts in and out. Doesn't happen when vol is at normal or high levels so not much of an issue. I'd check your grounds and make sure they are clean. Dirty ground can cause all sorts of interference. Also make sure the RCAs don't run next to the power wire.
good luck.
@@soggyfries4347 thanks. That’s what I’m experiencing exactly. I redid the ground yesterday, didn’t change it. I was then playing with the blower motor setting in the car. I noticed that when on high speeds, that hiss or noise was almost twice as loud and sorta cut in and out. I ended up moving the wiring to the back of the stereo away and the crossover for my speakers as far as I could and noise is most gone. I can’t complain I guess. Sounds like that’s just how these amps are then. I have the exact same issues you mentioned.
@@jgarcia1925 Glad to hear you resolved it.
Thanks for the review! Not a bad amp for the price.
The music during the video intro & dyno was way too loud, to the point of distortion. :(
Its distorted
It sounds ok on a big stereo, cell phones crackle when they play it
Did it blow the original 25 amp fuses? Noticed it ended up 30 amp fuses. Great video! Guess I'm heading to Walmart for my budget audio!
I literally just bought this amp last night and installed it.... Jensen has outdone themselves. My two 12inch Sony xplod subs are hitting harder than a linebacker blitz. Highly recommend this mono amplifier.
do you have problems with the app? i can’t figure the eq out.... please help
@@michaelschwartz471 recently I have using it no... but sometimes it doesn't work on my Galaxy s21 but it will on my iPhone 8 I dunno. What you mean the EQ? Tell me what you trying to figure out I'll help as much as I can.
JENSEN has always been good brand :) I still have a picture with me when I was a teenager next to my old school 10 in Jensen bandpass subwoofer box that you could buy at Target and then my old friend at a Jensen 300 watt amps and it sound and then my old friend at a Jensen 300 watt amp with a built subwoofer enclosure as well it sounded amazing this was all back in 2004.
Wow, you just saved me $200 and zero warranty, can’t thank you enough, keep them coming
Cant wait to see the 4 channel on the dyno
Ive been running the two channel for over two months now and it is a really nice amp.
3 years later I still have the old 2 channel one in my tow truck running a 10 inch sub, so the longevity isn't bad at all.
I used to run 4 Pyramid Pro 10" subs off a $100 Jensen amp from Walmart in my '85 Dodge Daytona. This was damn near 20 years ago though. That shit hit harder than some peoples systems they spent 10x more on. I'm a firm believer that you can make crap sound good if it's installed and setup correctly.
If a cop on the other side of a highway tells you to turn it down over the loudspeaker, you gotta be doing something right.
spot on I love this video just return the 1000 back in to wal-mart for this one Cause I purchased the extended protection plan this budget amp is a little beast...
Anyone remember the chrome blue Jensen XS Bass 12in subs? Those subs sure could take a beating and still keep going. Even though they were cheap. Great starter subs. This Jensen amp is an excellent starter amp. Would make a great pairing with those subs if they still made that particular model.
I remember those!! Lol me and my buddy were talking about them not too long ago when I bough the new jensen 600 watt amp to try out. Unfortunately I took it back. Just didnt sound as good as I thought it would. The 1200 may be better though.
Yeah they actually sounded really good musically. They realistically wouldn't handle more than 100 watts. I had six of them in a custom ported box but I didn't have enough amp to push them like they wanted to be pushed. They were probably getting maybe 25 watts a piece. Sounded nice though. This is back before I knew not to push vocals through them. I wrecked that truck, and the bank repoed it so I have no idea what happened to all that shit. I woke up in a hospital a couple days later.
Had 2 of them, still have the one I ran in 3 or4 different cars. Hit like a mf’er in a good box. Paid 40 for 2 subs. And it loves about 500 watts continuously. Had JL’s, Rockford s, JBL’s, and I love a great bargain .
@@shantyburton6854 please!! I blew 2 up with a kenwood 921 that was rated 200w bridged. The tinsel leads melted and the speakers were stuck in excursion. 500watts, surely you jest
@@thomasbradian6367 I had two of those subs. One was put in a sealed box for my friends BMW X5 that I ran a JBL amp to. Was pushing 325 watts RMS at 4 ohms. He never blew it up and it sounded good. I’ve had all sorts of subs over the years, JL, JBL, Kicker. Look I paid 25 for each sub. I would consider that a good deal.
The blue tooth gain and crossover settings is pretty damn cool. Im not sure if big time brands have started doing that yet but thats a really good idea. Plus the adjustable led colors? I like to show off my gear so Im not sure I can display Walmart stuff in my truck, but if Jl or Alpine were to start using these features I would buy them in a quick beat.
So you like it but you won’t display it cause it’s not JL or Alpine?!? That makes no sense!??
@@tobydozier9030 Pretty much
@@samscharp3367 I hear ya ta each their own brotha. Slap a JL sticker on it it’s a win win. I’m telling ya man I was impressed at the flex it put on these 12s.
But I bet you make fun of people that buy Gucci or Louis Vuitton , but can’t rock a Walmart sub cause of your ego 🤣
Jensen is a actual brand name they have been out since the 80s
I used this for a couple weeks and it was nice for what it was. If you didn’t have to actually have the phone connected to Bluetooth to be able to listen to music it would’ve been great. Bluetooth off on your phone = no music. The BT DSP should’ve been just for making adjustments.
I just installed one of the 4 channel on a HD Street Glide.... Gotta say I'm impressed....clean 100x4 and the little DSP is great....
HOLY CRAP!! What a deal for a small setup. Limited space install paradise with this amp. Wonder how well the 4 chan does. NICE! Thanks Ryan.
People are always impressed by this amp when they hear it, I've got it pushing 2 Sony Xplod 12s at 2 ohms, we dyno'd my amp at about 524 watts, so 262 watts going to each 12, and they are pretty damn loud....everyone always hates on this amp at first, but I've converted every critic to a believer with this amp. I'm gonna be swapping out to 2 JL Audio 12w0v3 subs using the same amp, I'm betting those subs will sound even better!!
I loved this video and in my search for the amp, they're easy to find, I came across the JENSEN XDA94RB Class D 4 Channel Amplifier. Would love to see the dyno on this matching 4 channel! Thanks and keep up the great work!
When I seen this at Walmart. I laughed. I immediately thought of the cheap sparkomatic and audiovox amplifiers that were the cheapo electronics in my day you could buy at Kmart. And even thought Jensen wasn't even in business anymore! I gotta admit I'm thoroughly impressed with the results and options. I don't know how good the sound quality is. But for everything this amplifier has. It's a really good bargain. Would love to see sound quality on set of subs comparing to kicker, alpine, jbl, mtx,etc. With same power ratings
Actually a cool little amp! Guess we will see how hot it is in a min!
What happen man ? I sure miss ur videos u was one of the original ! Come back please.
It's good to see a amp that cost that little do so much thanks to you Big D companies are getting better
i agree this amps are badass i got the 1000watt version and that thing blew up my sonys 6x9s its a beast i love this brand i am sticking to it,,,,,
I just watched a Big D video on an old RF Power 100.. fuckin thing barely put out about 15W per channel.. @ about 500$. Its crazy how much car audio has changed over the past 30 yes. The power to dollar ratio has significantly changed over the years.. I'm glad to see budget companies like Dual, Rockville, and Hifonics offering some really good gems, for the budget consumer !
I have daily run the Dual series of amps. All I can tell you is that 99.1 % of the populace is going to love it. I ran it for a whole year. NOT A HICCUP! It just works day in and day out. Sounds great while doing it as well. Not one overheat either. And it was just sitting underneath the seat on carpet.
Just buy a few. You will be sad once these are gone. I'm still working out on what parts to upgrade on the amp to Eek a bit more fidelity from the circuit. I'm kind of wanting to send one to BareVids to see if he can work out some upgrades.
I have to agree, if these range of amps had a Bluetooth input? There would be NONE in stock. Still, this leave you the option to install any Outboard DAC of your choice. And this also means it sort of future proofs it. Just what you need. Nothing you don't.
I do worry about the APP not being supported one day via new phones. But that's a LONG way off.
Crazy lil powerhouse with cool features and a crazy price!
I had one of these and having the app is great for adjusting your bass boost on the fly
Great video keep up the good work sir can you dyno the Va1-10000d power acoustic vertigo
Unbelievable. Jensen has finally stepped it up.
Jensen always does above rated!, been getting there products since 91, bulletproof, plus cheap!!!
Jensen, never did it rated power in the 90's, that's y they always had max power ratings on the box, hell, that 3 foot long blue 4 channel amp only did 120watts x 2 bridged my sherwood bp 240 was half the size and sounded 100 time's better
thomas bradian, I had a Sherwood amp in 91, in my 77 Granada, on two twelve's, was knocking!, got impounded, an stole my amps back, put the Sherwood in a 78 5 series bmw, on 2 twelve's, in 92, knocking again!, then had a long ass profile amp, long as a skateboard, two channel, in a 77 cutlass, in 96, or 97, on 3 ten's, man, that amp was a beast!, I've had a lot of swap meet amps, but then in 96, I had to graduate to the better stuff, my first Orion amp,in my other 77 cut, since that profile amp, no more cheap stuff!!!
Perfect for my wife's skar ix 10s at 2ohm
I have mine hooked up to 10" Audio legion 600rms sub. This amp is legit!
Back in the 90s, an amp putting up these numbers was extremely expensive and the amp itself was fuckin huge. Jensen made good products back then and today looks like dual/jensen still making good stuff.
I've had mine for 8mo. now and I'm seriously like wtf?! I had the 2 channel I got for free, my wife uses it in her car now. Been running strong for over a year. Insane quality for the cash.
Wish I had friends that appreciate good sound systems. I'd share the shiznet out of these vids yo.
Thats nuts! I never would have thought it would do what it did. I thought maybe close to rated power but not that much over. Maybe they will make a legit 5k for about $300! Lol
when it comes to walmart amps i say go with the power acoustik rzr amp.. i have one driving my skar zvx @ 1ohm for the past year with no issues! and it flexes the hell outta my car
I just purchased the smaller one did perfect for a single 12" especially for the $60+ like $6-8 for the extended warranty.
I got the 600watt,on the Jensen J12W, in a sealed. Sounds great for a car with a baby seat
Yea Jensen knocked it out of the park with the wireless dsp, lights but also pre outputs and a hi level input, great job Jensen cus you dont see much of hi level inputs anymore.
I'm SUPER impressed. Like jesus. That's an AMAZING deal. I need to pick one up.
Haha love the enthusiasm! Another good dyno RB!
Nice to see 105 deg caps in a inexpensive amp.good about of power for chump change.
My Jensen in 1996 was only 40wx2 and it was $129.99 Now it's $30 less and 900watts more!
What I would like to own one of these just for the hell of it put it in my work truck
good to see honest ratings, let alone understated
Back in the late 80’s or early 90’s, Jensen made the best selling and best sounding, best priced 6x9 coaxial on the planet! It would be nothing for guys to put 4 of these in their rear decks and get unbelievable bass while riding down the block!!!!! Memories...
I had a pair of those powered off my Jensen one button cassette player. I thought I was hot sh*t with my Magic Mike tape playing.
Try a toro mr2 500 rms @ 1 ohm. Big d did a video on it. You would love it. Does make over 500 rms @ 1 ohm. I just killed 2 rockford 10's with it. The amp is the size of a smart phone.
Oh yeah Jensen's was always a good budget amplifier when you were a teenager you had no money but yet you want to have a system in your car
Snagged one of these today for 89$ before tax. Running two ts-w261d4's at 1 ohm. They need 350rms. Worried about the sn/r at 68% but sounds good so far.
Ryan coming in hot again, but in a happy way this time 👍
Got the 1000w and briged it 😂it's been doing fine ,around a year now .I give it hell every day so ...👍
Would have never guessed the performance
Id like to see some amp dynos at 20hz to see which amps hit the lowest lows and which ones fall on their faces. Ive heard pretty powerful amps that push their power at 45hz but can't push anything when I throw a 10 or 15hz signal at them. All of my old school amps pushed really hard at 10-20hz and really made my subs flex. These newer amps you find at places like best buy slam at 40-45hz but suck at ultra low notes. Looking for something that pushes an honest 1200-1300 watts that will still push sub 20hz power. My jbl 1001ez rated at 1000rms pushes an honest 1300 watts but really doesn't push below 20hz like my old 75wx2 phoenix gold XS2150 did on the same subs.
Please do the 4 channel ! I really want an 4 Chan for my mids on a budget
I love the video and everything you have done, however, a lot of families are being put in very real situations where they can't afford housing or food for their families. If you can, donate to your local food bank and/or local charities to help insure these families that have been put out by covid have a meal to eat or a shelter to stay in. I've been fortunate to be in one of the industries that has seen a rise in production after covid and I think it's more important now than ever to serve our local communities and those in need. Happy holidays to you and yours! Thank you for the incredible content over the years! Much respect and love!
Bro you need to do all the Jensen and Dual amp! these are fantastic little Amps!
I have the 600watt version of this as well as the Jensen 12 from Walmart and imma be honest they hit better then my kicker did
Jensen have always been a ok budget choice. Miles above my first budget amp (kraco)
Love your channel. You do some great and honest reviews on these amps. Keep up the great work.
Loved to seen .067 and .5 just to see if dynamic could handle it
Remember back in the early to mid 90's every stereo shop you would go to would say "for good clean power that is accurate expect to pay a dollar a watt when you purchase an amp" or something along those lines, but it was true! You want a thousand watts expect to pay about a thousand bucks then. Now that 100 dollar Walmart amp almost hit a thousand on dynamic but still!!
wireless DSP? woah amps should have those options
Anybody notice that the amp had two 30 amp fuses out of the box then you see two 25s??
Mine has the 25 amp fuses in it and the box shows 35 amp fuses don't get it!!!!!
Was thinking about running this with a Jensen 12 sub and my dual stereo plus I have kicker 6.5 in the doors in my Silverado crew cab the truck is a 06 1500
Best amp I've ever owned I love mines and the jensen 12s bang super hard also
This amp is never on the shelf at the Walmart I go to I have looked once a week for a month there is a sticker price but no amp the 82 always on shelf as far as I can tell this amp must fly off the shelf or never get stocked back up by Walmart.👌✌️👍 Great video
Thats crazy how much power you get for the price. Great dyno test👍
Damn! That little thing packs a punch!
Gonna snag one of these to push a pair of MTX 2Ω subs at 1Ω rated at 250W RMS each.n this is a perfect match for those 10" drivers.
I’ll be grabbing this amp thanks to this video! Update to follow.
I'm sure it could fo 1200w at 15VDC and like 0.5 ohm for sure!
I've tried it today and went through 6 fuses, I may put 30amp fuses in and hope it don't catch fire
I think this little guy is about to replace my big ass hifonics amp
When I was a kid that much power would of cost $800 and it wouldn't be anything but power, bo DSP or bluetooth to speak of and it would say Zapco on the side of it.
Wow this video is a gem with a gem. It was recommended to me, I clicked on the video, and here I am commenting and subscribed. Dang you google yt alphabet 😂you are very good with the algorithm n whatnot. Kinda scary if you think about it.
I wonder if these are about to sell out like the 1200 that big d just reviewed. This seems like an awesome deal.
Its a good chance they'll have more inventory, so the worst case is a price increase.... Can we say Cyber Munday?
That was a 1500w by Top Strong Gear.
Need more amp dyno vids your vids are f@@king awesome thanks for your input have made amp purchases because of your vids
Dude Jensen EQ in the 90s oh yeah baby
You should do the kenwood Kac-511, it was 100 dollars on sale
Big d tested this few months ago. Its solid, but I've seen alot of people complain about the app crap. Not everything needs a app nowadays ppl lol. Being at Walmart, the gimmicky stuff sells. But, it is a nice amp, but I'd never buy it.
Have had this amp paired with a skar svr10-2 for awhile and it has power but i hate the bluetooth setting
I will follow up and say it killed the svr. Moving to an SA 10 Sundown. It is happy with 0 gauge and its little dual cuzin running a 6.5 components
That really is a kick ass amp for the price!
My Walmart is $119 for them just got one like it so far!
