Nice to see you mentioned the audio dynamics. Really good equipment. Hoping to day an all AD build in the future.

I approve of this message! Great list of amps!!

That jbl is an insane value. An 8 channel dsp alone for $300 is great. And you get the amplifier channels with it. And 6-8 speakers on 50 watts each is more than plenty

If I needed one I would go with the Kicker. I have a Kicker Kxa, and I've been blown away on how good it is. Very solid list.💯👍

Just picked up a new Kenwood 802-5 marine for $259

Excellent video, stoked for the jbl dyno

Those are great picks! I have the JP95 and it is a beauty. Someone else mentioned the Picasso nano soundstream. I would add in the Rubicon 5 channel. These are more budget amps but I think decent choices. I have the Rubicon's and maybe should amp guts them. No one has really tested them though.

Great vid!! I have the AC D-5.1300 and love it!

Great video man enjoyed it

Really looking forward to the review of the JBL 8-channel! I've heard it has some issues with a noise floor. Have you tested it out enough to know if that's accurate?

Super low cost budget option is the little Soundstream Picasso Nano 640.5 and it can be had for under $200 if you do a little looking. Korean made too. 👍

They have a few 4 channel mini amps I was looking at

Like to see jp95 in action ....I decided on the jp 23 to replace my skar 1500.1 which still runs flawlessly....but as I have stated I am only running a memphis mini mojo 8in but for an 8in sub it handles some power ...but I want to add 2 more so I think the jp23 will be able to handle the load ...as always great info on some amps I probably would not even look at ...

I would recommend taking a look at the DC audio 175.4 its a 4 channel amp but can easily run 4 speakers + a subwoofer

I would suggest the zapco Z150.6SP this amp is a power house beast and also great for audiophiles like myself also, Arc Audio X2 is a great 6 channel amp and the next amp i want to get soon is the Eton stealth 7.1 with DSP....

I still have the kenwood excelon 801-5 the older version of the one on your list. Not using it anymore but it's on standby.

Dude the Rockville db55 is probably the best budget 5 channel amp and it sounds good with great power.

The Alpine R- A90S should definitely be in this list. It's a full system, 6 channel amp, Hi Fi, and more power than some of the other ones in this list

If I had a pick of any I think I'd go with the audio control but budget wise probably the Jp amp

Never had a JBL amp would've liked to had a JBL crown. But early 2000s I liked there mids

Great video! True og

Thanks Rob.

Sleeping on DD multi channel amps. Check out the D5.1500, and D5.1000. I have a D5.1000 which has 1000w on ch5 and 90/120 ch1-4 @ 4/2 Ohms! It's had clip limiting technology! Its quite the wonder in a very small package

What do you think about the audiolegion 250.4?

I actually own both the kenwood and the JP. I can’t say enough about both of them. Phenomenal amps. Sounds awesome on both and the power is shocking.

The kenwood excelon reference xr901-5 is their best 5 channel amp and that thing is a powerhouse. The excelon x802-5 is a step down for the xr series but it is also a great amp especially for the price being around $350.

A better pick for $90 more than the Audio Dynamics MK700.6 is the Down4Sound JP77, way more power.

Very wise. I will take a few high quality components any day. In an environment as small as car interior, A pair of high quality component speakers(Micro Precision, Steg, German Maestro), a quality 10" sub( in a sealed enclosure) and the best 4 channel amp you can afford, (Mmats Helix or ARC "CLXR" series, made in USA) will be a great SQ system. The best systems I have ever had , did not have DSP, and you adjusted your settings with a small screwdriver, not a laptop....simple sounds better to me too.But I have no interest in cheap ,Chinese gear...pretty much the whole list.

I like a lot of those amps, but unfortunately they’re not readily available outside of a brick mortar store. That makes it harder for me to recommend those simply because most of my audience including myself don’t have access to many in store dealers.
