    I’m sitting here with my mouth open, just in awe, and speechless! I’ve come to expect ratings on the Down4Sound amps to be underrated, but this almost in the same category as the cheater amps from the ‘90s, almost. Bravo D4S, bravo!!
    Thanks for testing these out Derek! We appreciate it!!!

      @96kylar Рік тому +2

      No it isnt... Not even close to the same thing. It doesnt even double its power at half its load. (cheater). Its doing some "power regulation" . Hence it doing about the same at any load. And that, is NOT a back in the day "cheater". Also, no one on the planet cares about the dynamic test on any board. Well, anyone that knows a thing. EDIT- also, its not like JP , or anyone he even knows, designed the board. He just bought a patent that was already made, and is selling it.

      @@96kylar actually, there are many who do care about the dynamic power an amp has because that really shows how an amp can deliver power for the tight kick drum bass that you feel. The better dynamic power, the better an amp is going to be able to deliver that power for those type of bass notes. Take any amp that has good dynamic power and compare it to an amp that doesn’t put out good dynamic power and you will be able to hear and feel the difference.
      As far as your argument that JP did not design the amps, you are completely right. But he also did not go to some cheap made in China company to build yet another cheap Chinese amp that doesn’t put out rated power and has questionable quality. He did what every good businessman does and he found someone who designed and built a quality amp to put his name on. What is wrong with that?
      Oh, and my reference for comparing this amp to the cheater amps of the 90’s was to show similarities on how the JP3 over performs, like the cheater amps did. I also did not say that it was the same as the cheater amps, I stated it was almost.
      Either way you look at it, the JP3 performed exceptionally well and is a good value for the money, like most of the D4S amps(I didn’t say all, I said most). And for the record, I do own a JP8 and have been very impressed with it. I’ve been into car audio for 30 years and have had too many amps to count, but the JP8 is definitely up there with the best ones that I’ve ever owned.

      ​@@96kylar Yea, Orion HCCA 225 rated 25W per channel. Only rated at 4 ohm stereo. But in bridged mono at 1 ohm it would deliver 400W, 8X the rated power, so not the same thing as an old school cheater amp, but about the same size and more than double the power, so there is a similarity...

    I completely agree with you, BIG D. As an average listener, I find that an 800w amplifier is perfectly suitable for my needs. While I do appreciate a bit of extra bass to enhance my listening experience and give it a more robust and full-bodied sound, I am not the type to blast music on the streets to make everything shake with overpowering bass. While that may be a dream for me one day and many others, I find that a balanced and enjoyable listening experience is what truly matters to me everyday.

      @@webberfan1234 I have a Mazda CX-5 with a Bose system that I absolutely love. My upgrades to Bose's poor subwoofer was by tapping into the original Bose subwoofer and connecting it to an active LOC. This helped to restore the missing 45 Hz and under frequencies, and the results have been phenomenal, I paired the setup with a Skar 800W mono block powering a 12" Skar tube subwoofer, which produces fantastic low-frequency bass under 30 Hz. The combination of the Bose system and the Skar subwoofer has created an immersive soundstage which boosted the original bose's concert-like sound experience that I couldn't be happier with.

    Big D, that lil D4S JP3 is a BEAST! You didn't comment on the quality of the "bump" audio, but to me it sounded very clean and well controlled. Looks like that JP3 matches well with the Kicker 12 inch. Update us on your experiences with it after you "enjoy the bumps" in your daily driver over the next few months... I wish other manufacturers would understand - produce a quality product, for a good price, and UNDER stating your RMS power ratings will impress the reviewers and bring hordes of customers.

Those subs are rated 700 watts rms, but that "800" watt amp would blow them if I didn't keep the volume down)tested by Big D to over 1200 clean watts at 1 ohm). Btw, the remote has a built-in clip indicator that is accurate, so no, I'm not sending a dirty signal to the subs, just clean power, and quite a lot of it.

    I like that you used a reasonable voltage... Most new cars don't even run the typical 14.1 range unless the battery is charging. Voltage is automatically dropped to the mid to low 13's for that bit of extra fuel savings.

    • @91CavGT5
      @91CavGT5 Рік тому +1

      I had a KIA hybrid that would drop the voltage down into the low 12s on a regular basis!! This is because on a hybrid, it doesn’t have an alternator. It uses a DC to DC converter to step down the traction battery power to a 12 volt power source which acts like an alternator. After some time, I discovered that if I kept the headlights on then the car kept the DC to DC converter putting out power at all times, thus increasing the voltage and maintaining the voltage at around 14.1 volts. Regardless though, it is nice that Big D does his tests at real world voltage.

This is in Texas in the middle of summer where it was 100 degrees outside. Hopefully, this little amp handles the heat like the JP8, hopefully.

    We really have made it to the point where we don't need "audiophile" amps anymore (especially for car audio). If you only need 50% of the power from this thing the distortion is going to be lower than a premium amp running at 95% of its output any day! All for $160 too!

    I am running a JP63 extremely powerful amplifier, the most powerful amplifier I have ran and I also own a Deaf Bounce AAK 4k & Soundigital EVO.2 12k. However the only two drawbacks I have noticed is the issues I have had with the Bluetooth knob randomly not working. Also the amplifier does not have enough thermal Mass for the Heat dissipation by the mosfets even in 80 degree weather it will quickly rise to over 100°F now this us far away from the silicone breakdown temp however a bit warmer than I would like to see it on average operation and it is far away from clipping. The onboard fan will only minimize the heat creep but can not cool the amplifier they should add another fan to the larger boards

    Very interested in gear like this. I have to use ALL the cargo area in my Jeep for... cargo, but I want to upgrade the 100 watt "500 watt" Alpine system. These smaller amps are the way, methinx. Seems like we're in a golden age for car audio, right now. Which is interesting since car manufacturers are trying REALLY hard to keep us from buying aftermarket head units.

    You really can't go wrong with JP amps. I personally am a fan of constant power amps. The reason I like Rockford Power and JL amps so much. One thing I'm curious about, is how low can you bring the voltage and maintain it's rating 🤔 Most amps will kick off if the voltage is too low. If people will be using stock electrical. Definitely don't recommend. It can be some important information.

    • @wal
      @wal  Рік тому +7

      Most amps shut off around 8.5 volts. This amp should do it’s rated power at 12 maybe 11.5 volts

      My little cousin is an up and coming bass head. We just got done installing his head unit. Going to do the door speakers next. Then we will do the bass system. This should be good for his first bass amp. You think 4g would be big enough for this amp and 12g for the sub?

    I remember not too long ago JP was trash talked & everyone said he was a scammer. He spammed all the groups with his ads etc. To be quite honest I think it’s funny that his amps are kicking everyone’s asses for a good price but he’s built an empire. These amps seem to be the real deal. The new Orions but are actually putting out more power than rated lol

  • @JasonWW2000
    @JasonWW2000 Рік тому

    That Boss is rated for 20w x 4. Lets say it does a clean 15w. This means it should play well at low to medium volume levels, but at higher volume you'll hear distortion. More power will only allow higher volume without the distortion. So if it sounds bad at low to medium volume, an amp is not going to fix that.
    What set of speakers do you have and are you using the passive crossovers that came with them?
    Where are the speakers installed.
    Can you describe in what way it sounds bad?

  • @spuds7677
    @spuds7677 Рік тому

    I am on the fence about this amp. I'm not sure it would act different on some subs with the changing Ohm loads, but this amp should have a tighter clamp on the power at lower Ohm loads! We all like more bang for the buck, but I think an amp should be rated close to the numbers posted. Like that crazy Orion 2500 hitting more than 10k in power. I would like 2 of these amps on my pair of 8s, but with it clamping so high at 2 and 1 Ohms, it has me hesitating I don't want to re-cone these subs every month because of miss rated amps.

    It looks like it's flush with the surface to which it's mounted. Not sure it can pull in any air, especially if mounted to auto carpet.

    • @JasonWW2000
      @JasonWW2000 Рік тому

      You only need a small gap for air to be pulled in. Obviously, if you mount on carpet, add some spacers so the fan is not blocked. It pulls in from the bottom and pushes out through the metal endcaps.
