Dang you deleted my comment about the seismic audio 62$ powered 12' woofer, i was hoping you'd test 1! Even shipped for free, in 3 days.
The guys who started US amps were pwr supply techs in Nam, and couldn't get a UL cert on their rack-mount amps, so they did it for autos, that didn't need it. Rock on! \m/
JP came a long way. Never met the guy but feels like when a family member becomes successful. Good job!
D4S efficiency is killing it! keep the vids coming D 👍👍
I was sponsored by US amps in the 90s,best customer support in the biz!!! I just installed a jp234 in a 2016 camaro yesterday on a skar 10" and 6 mids/highs.very impressive, great sound quality, plenty of power.i love that you could bandpass mid bass drivers,only wish it had bass boost.overall my favorite newer brand,especially for the $$$,considering what i paid for RF,orion,linear power,US amps in 80s-90s.this is my fav you tube channel too🤘🤘🤘

Can't wait till January. Im gonna have my jp33 amplifier tested for distortion measurements. Lets see how well they do.
Man the D4S amps sound very good. Nice clean sound I love mine
Excellent price. Excellent power. Nailed it
Nice color amp. The blue is probably my favorite.
Love the clicks on the crossover section, thats smart!
Clicks for filters and continuously adjustable for gain is 100% correct.
Legacy and Pyramid ripped us off so bad in the 90s with their wattage ratings, it's like these young audio companies decided to gives us 200 more watts than rated. 😅
Great video Big D. Did Allen really leave his keys with you for his Porsche 911 turbo.😂😂
Only other amps I’ve seen with the crossover clicks are JL ones, nice touch.
Whole Lotta JP products on 🤔🤔... I wonder why👀🤫..the more you know smh
Big D you came through again with another JP amp dyno. Once I saw this get announced I was hoping you would do a setup for a 3 channel. I plan installing my 3way speakers and my 10” sub…. 2024 is gonna be a banging year thanks BigD
Merry Christmas!
Next on the list to purchase
Thx 4 your great work as always👍...
anyone know if these amps will actually make it up to 16 volt power input I read the specs but there's always a little room
i have lots of customers bringing me SKAR products to install, and generally they work fine, but i really wanna see these JP D4S amps at some point. our shop sells alpine, JL, rockford and memphis. sometimes its cool to get a 3kw amp and a pair of 15s lol. they dont always last though when its a really cheap brand.
Im actually swapping from the B2 Audio Riot 7500.1 to the jp83 on 8 Savard Hi Q 15s. Also, I'm swaping the DS18 1800.4 and DS18 3000.4 to the jp10.4 to run 8 DS18 PRO TW220 tweeters and 8 DS18 PRO X6.4M mids. Should have plenty of power
What setup do you suggest for my car equaling the power of 6 concert level speaker trees? P.S. I am not above towing a generator trailer. ✌️
one of the channels on my jp77 quit working after a few hours of playing, but other than that the amp sounds great for the price.

I’d like to see some destructive testing of products on this channel. Such as how hard can you push it before it catches on fire.
Very awesome amplifier. My only complaint is that I wish the output of the channels were more synchronized. Too much discrepancy will have one speaker sounding clean while the other slightly distorted. Not very safe.
How come this amp doesn't come with a cooling fan but the JP234 which is smaller does comes with one?
Yo bro could you do a review/dyno on the matrix mobileaudio amplifiers ??

@derekgardin1512, I guess you forgot that you can run speakers in series and parallel? Lots of people these days are running multi component systems. Ie... 2 or even 3 midrange speakers per door. Each set of midrange speakers can be tied together on one channel with an amp like this. Same with the tweeters and midbass speakers. Makes for less amps and easier wiring.
Nice amp. It makes my JP95 sad now.
I agree with several other comments. These class D amps have tons of power but they simply don’t sound as good as class A or AB. I guess it’s all in what you want. For example…a 75w per channel Alpine amplifier somehow seems to get a lot louder than 150watt per channel Taramps amplifier. It’s actually not. Taramps makes some powerful amps. If you check a db meter then you can see the Taramps is making a lot more noise. However, sound travels in waves. Kind of like circles. The more perfect the circle maintains when you hear it. The clearer the sound. I’m trying to say. Why would anyone want to amplify distortion?

Maybe you see a lot of D4S products here because they are putting out decent stuff on a continuous basis. That's what this channel does, demonstrate new products that are affordable middle ground instead of always the extreme high end stuff.
No doubt this amp has it all. This business seems to be recession proof.
This amplifier uses alot of parts from the Pg Xenon amplifiers.

@@minus3dbintheteens60 Seems people have forgotten this over the years that if you want the best SQ you have to run max 75% of the power and preferably 50%. But that's hard for people to swallow paying for 400 watts when they only want to run at 200. Power is cheaper then ever these days so it's not hard to do. The thing is, the SQ really isn't noticeable for average joe audio and most vehicles. That's why people are using all the power of the amps these days because they sound fine. If you want max SQ, you need to revamp the entire interior of most vehicles. Get them sound proof inside and out, rock solid neutral interior and that can cost just as much as the audio equipment deserving of such treatment.
