Abuse is not use. Running my JP23 in phoenix and somedays the bass knob says 136 degrees... when using it it cools in about 20 mins to under 90 degrees. Don't run low ohm loads and push everything to the max and heat wont be an issue. These are good amps... Will def get my business again, I promote using them to all my customers 👍

I've been into car audio since the old school Liner Power, Zapco, & Sherwood days. All of my cars have had upgraded stereos installed by myself. So I decided to pick up and Installed one of these JP2300v2 with the back plexiglass facing into the car running at 2ohms pushing two 12's kicker Q-Class. This amp gets down, hits the deep low notes beautifully, runs cool and never has overhead. I previously was using a Brazilian smart 3k bass and never even came close to the power and clean output that this JP2300v2 puts out. Solid amp great product, and it shipped out immediately 👍🏼

“You would be in protect too in 125 degree heat” I almost died lol. These are solid amps. A lot of times it’s user error.

Never even heard there was a issue. Just recommended an amp combo to a cousin. Keep up the good work JP 💪🏻

I've been nothing short of impressed with any product I've received with the D4S brand on it. As someone else said, anything in mass production can fail, but the important thing is how does the company stand behind their products? They can't guarantee your item wont break, but what they can do is make sure the customer receives fair treatment. And from what I've seen, JP and the crew at D4S is there for their customers.

I just got my amp last week. Coming from only Fosgate amps I was kinda skeptical but wanted to give yall a chance. Let me say I am very impressed and for the price I say it is the best amp. I noticed it did get a little hot and I had the same idea as you said. I noticed the fans on on the bottom and decided to raise the amp and let me tell you that’s all it needed. This video was much needed because I don’t think many people raise their amp for air flow

WE GOT YOU JP. DONT WORRY ABOUT THESE HATERS. YOU STAND BY YOUR PRODUCT. NOT LIKE SKAR😂. SKAR DOESNT EVEN SHOW FACE LIKE YOU DO. WE STAND BY YOU AND WORK HARD TO KEEP YOU KEEPING US BANGIN

Recently picked up my first D4S amp. It’s just a JP8.4 but I’m very satisfied so far. I have it on a vertical wall in an extended cab truck where the rear seat used to be. It’s elevated about 1" off the rack as I would’ve done 20+ years ago when I was an install tech. Just a good installation practice. Heat kills electronics.

Maybe you can start including spacers with your amps. Atleast an added option from the dropdown menu for extra few bucks.

I bought a refurbished jp33 and I've never had any trouble with it. Honestly it's by far the best quality Amp I've ever owned. Hey jp you know you're doing things right the more haters you'll have. Keep doing your thing bro. Thank you for the quality amps you provide.

My JP23 was in protect mode because of extreme heat temperatures from hot weather but other than that mine works fine. I love how it performs. Any person with common sense knows that any amp can shut down due to extreme heat in hot weather conditions.

*Joe from Dallas Tx here… I am in the middle of a big build and I am considering using some JPs as I have faith in his products. But I think it’s laziness or lack of knowledge with most people not wanting to put in the small amount of extra effort to raise their amps. All amps are supposed to be on some form of standoffs due to every amp on the market having fans on the bottom. JP is right there’s multiple reasons why any amp will fell or heat up but as far as overheating, amps must sit on standoffs to breathe and stay cool and for best performance have external fans blowing through the amp under and top where the heatsink is

I’ve been pounding my JP23 for about a year now. Never overheated, not once. I’ve had no problems or complaints.

JP keep doing your best. I love the beat down of your amps.

I have seen a good product with all negative reviews many times, I didn't believe the reviews and ended up buying the product with absolutely no problems. It happens with products that either work or they don't like an SD card reader, if it works there is nothing impressive about it and no review is left, but any faults and everyone will do a 1 star review.

As a former professional installer understand everything that you said in your video as far as consumers not being on the up-and-up and knowledgeable about power supplies as well as installation. Yes there is a fan on the bottom of your amplifiers but perhaps you should make the feet Mount taller so that that fan to circulate properly. A minor adjustment that may read your 1% problem. Just a few thoughts from an IASCCA finanlist and former professional installer.

Bought a JP95 and absolutely love it! I really think most people don't wire up systems properly or understand WHY it's important. Good wire and caps/batteries are pricey and add to the build more then the average installer is mabye prepared for or has little knowledge of. These are amazing amps for people that want high quality equipment at a price point they can afford!

I been rocking my JP43, JP234 & JP84 for well over a year now and running them on upgraded electrical as we all should. I’m in the Inland Empire which gets pretty hot and I have never not once had any failures in my system. I stand by D4S equipment! I’m totally convinced that 99% of the so called failures are User error, either an overlooked defect in the install or over driven.

1. Never has my JP 33 gotten hot behind the rear seat of a ford superduty crewcab on an amp rack. Have only had 1 issue with my JP33 and the amp still played. The Bluetooth module in the amp for the bass knob failed. I'm waiting for it to get back in the next day or two to push the 12 zv6 again. D4S customer service was more than helpful and right on getting the problem fixed. Thanks D4S

I never thought of using external fans for my amp thanks for the info

my amp fail was different, none of it was user error electrical was up to par to hold that amp. 14.7 volts, music at low volume kept hearing noises in subs then it destroyed almost every cap bout caught on fire. went straight to your warranty took 2 months and horrible customer service. even came to you personally for help and even you didnt really help me

I'm rocking JP34ab, and JP23v2 in a 05 Subaru outback pushing 3 skar zvx8s. There is no question these are the best Amps for the price in the market. I work for Custom Sounds and Tint we sell Rockford JL Kicker. Three of the biggest names in car audio. Hands down the JP amp are on par with all of these brands amps in SQ and Power. I recommend JP amps anytime anywhere.

Been saying this! Most the pple bashing brands or misinforming DO NOT HAVE PROPER ELECTRICAL to use this equipment! Love your videos!

What's up brother been a min, screw the haters, all amps can blow or overheat. Dudes today run everything at .5 ohms expecting them to not overheat

Some things will never seem to change. SMH be thankful that JP is willing to give you a quality product at a better than reasonable price.

The haters are going to hate no stopping that lol. JP I love my D4s amp please keep up the good work my friend

I have a JP8 and a JP84 combo for 11 months now. On the JP8 I have the gain maxed out. I back off when the clip light comes on. No overheating at all. These amps are awesome. I just bought a JP95T for my second vehicle. Had for one week now it is awesome as well so far.

I absolutely love my JP23 amplifier it's a really good amp and as long as you take care of it properly it will last you and that goes with pretty much everything else

Anything mass produced is obviously prone to failure... Failure is a part of the learning and growing process... There are reasons for failure, and THATS what needs to be addressed... Keep doing what your doing JP... Even Haters have their own way not following thru the process...😎

Love my JP 95, setup properly with solid electrical this amp just plays beautifully!

I definitely agree thought I've seen some jp amps have failures on good set up if set right with good power voltage set properly they can be good a amps

I have to agree with you on all your assignments of why people are experiencing a failure of the product due to not having an understanding of electrical theory because of them not upgrading some other component, as in doing what most call a BIG 3 awesome video by the way thanks

I have 4 D4S amps and I push them 2 the limit every day and I never. Ever have a problem they are great amps . One of the best brand I've used.

I have been running a jp33 for a year now and it originally gave me problems. I was later able to diagnose it to be an electrical issue with my car. The amp had no problems. These amps push some serious power ⚡️

Airflow is very critical for ANY electrical component. AC or DC. If it’s a TV in your house, or an amplifier in the car, you must have some airflow. JP hit the nail on the head when explaining using spacers to mount them. Spacers are a must and easily accessible. Just half inch spacers would be sufficient enough for cooling.

It's amazing how people will ignore the warning labels that specifically say must have proper electrical to run this amp but they spend time commenting false bs on social media. Read the directions and maybe the product info before you buy something goes a long way..

My Jp23v2 is running strong, honestly I love this amp more than my old school Lanzar amps! My Jp23v2 never over heats, doesn't doing anything my push my EVL'S to the maxx!!!! Keep doing good work JP!💪🏾💯

Loving the d4s amps so far. No complaints

The fact that most users on forums I've seen have pushed these well below their ohm rating sets a huge point for the durability of these amps. Don't do this if you don't know what you are doing and don't want a possible failure. I am looking to put a JP95 in my Ford Maverick because the power to price ratio is amazing. Love the color options and the old US amp designs. I will be purchasing soon, and think your products look great, may even give the 3 way comps a try!

Dude, ive been running my JP8 V1 since you did your original 1200 run. Over a year and i love this thing! Havent gotten over 109 degrees even on 90 degree days jamming hard. Haters are haters.

Just got my JP83 installed finally 2 days ago. Been beating on it HARD wired to 1ohm and it's not gone above 90 I think at all. Hardly warm to the touch. Got it spaced properly, wired properly, powered properly, and set properly. Not under powered, and clipping it to the moon. Common sense will go far, but unfortunately it isn't so common nowadays.. This thing is beastly if you feed and care for the beast properly. 😈

I’ve got a JP8 and had it on a 12” Savard HiQ 12” dual 2 ohm sub. I live in south Texas and quit often in the summer would see the temp on the remote show 120 degrees when I would first turn it on. Even after playing at high volumes near clipping for 30 minutes, the highest temp I EVER saw was 126 degrees. The amp was mounted under my seat on 1/2” risers to allow air flow under the amp for the fan. LOVE the JP amps and eventually will be buying more!!! Thanks JP!!!!!

Hey Jp, I bought both of my jp23s from you back in April of 2021, and I am hard on stereo equipment and never had an issue. I beat the shit out of my 1 jp23 on my u12s and at one point the wires arced and I saw flames shut it down fixed it and the amp came right back on and never skipped a beat!!! D4S FOR LIFE and SCREW THEM HATERS!!!

It's prolly b-cuz they wired it wrong or it's basically fault of the installation.... I personally love ur products J.P. & will continue to support ur business brother!!! 🙌💪🙌

When I do my next system I'm getting d4s amps for sure ❤

i have a jp 10.4 running my mids and highs and a jp83 running my 2 , 12in. american bass xfl 1222 wired at 2 ohms final impedance and i have had zero (0) issues ...my amps are out of sunlight and elevated approx. 1 inch from mounting surface i have 2 fans from an old pepsi refrigerator in a push pull config., as well as quality wiring and running an 80 ah lithium and a high quality mtx-49 interstate agm battery in factory location. and setting your gains correctly is another biggie in your amp or amps heat department, i can truly say these jp amplifiers are as good as it gets just be mindful in your setting up and you'll be fine and bumpin' for years to come. great work jp.....dj kenske phila., pa.

Had JP23's and JP234's in multiple vehicles and I have them in family members vehicles who are irresponsible - they run it 45c nonstop refuse to let me put an additional fan they keep clipping it too, it never goes into protect and has never given any of us an issue. Amazing amplifiers Really hoping my JP63 treats me as well as all the JP23's have, thousand for an amp is a lot for the average joe, but the power you advertise and the quality of your amplifiers and customer service... I would never go anywhere else. Team Down4Sound for life, please keep up all the excellent stuff that has been going on at D4S!!!!!

I'm glad that you made this video. Every install place here in Minnesota speak real poorly about your amps and they don't wanna even install them. They try to sell you mainstream like kicker or JL audio. We need more places that know the good in your product and stop hating on your stuff. I'm running the jp23 v2 in my Atlas and never had an issue with anything. It's loud and the sound quality is amazing. Good job on your amps JP. F the haters. Keep doing what you do and keep being number 1!

I ran my two jp43’s at half ohm each at 15.5 for months & before then a jp83 at 1 ohm & have had no issues when I’ve had good electrical to power em. Most I’ve seen that have blown don’t have enough electrical to support or running bad loc’s that send bad signal as long as you got fans when running em half ohm & at 15.5 & have the electrical it’ll be fine 👊🏽

MY JP 77 HAS DUAL FANS AND DOESN'T DIP BELOW 14V FULL TILT. EXCEEDING MY EXPECTATIONS SO FAR! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BROTHER!

I ran my JP8 for over a year every single day with no over heating issues lol most ppl I see blow their D4S amps wire below the required ohm loads and don’t even have the electrical to run them that low 😅🔊

JP glad you post these videos man it shows how much you care about your brand and what your customers mean to you. People always want to whine and cry but there the same one who don’t follow the boundaries you have set for them.

I’ve had every type of amp and it doesn’t matter if it’s designed or not designed for heavy use it will overheat if it’s hot outside and if it’s a serious Setup multiple fans and PC cooling is definitely the way. Even my 90’s setups have fans for hot days. It’s just a common sense stand point and most people don’t have it.

I ran my JP63 at 15.5v, the power supply and mosfets blew less than a month brand new. However I replaced the mosfets and power supply. Spent 270US to repair it. I really hope it doesn't happen again. I really do love this amp because of it's power.

Let be honest my co worker had the first jp amps in hi car and it work crazy good still to this day no problems love d4sounds best place best products in the game

Bro I've had a JP63 pushing a 3515 deaf bonce. For over a year as my daily driver pushing it hard every time I drive it and I haven't had a single problem with this amp props to JP amps

My dad recently got his hearing back. He wanted to put a 500w system in his car. So i got him a JP3 signed by JP himself. He's more than happy.

i have had my JP23 V2 for a little over a month and i love this amp. it does get hot, i have my Jp23 in direct wind on a mp rack above the sub box. i also have 3 half inch rubber grommets in each corner to raise the amp off the rack to help the fan on the bottom breath. as far as temp outside when the amp gets hot it was around 100f. my amp has never shut off due to it being hot tho. i have 2 15in skars 4ohm dvc wired to the amp at 1ohm. i have done the big 3 upgrade, and even before i did the big 3 i didn't have an issue with the lights dimming when the bass was hitting hard, and believe me the JP23 V2 will get your subs hitting hard asf did i mention i love my amp? lmmfao was thinking about getting another JP23 v2 and 2 more 15in skars. i also have a 1995 rockford fosgate punch 200ix pushing my 4 skar 6.5s in my doors.

I’ve never complained on any social platform about any product that being said had a jp43 that failed due to Bluetooth bass knob supposedly a problem with the v1 jp43. Went through the motions sent it in for warranty and it literally took 5 months to receive the amp back after getting the run around calling weekly. Oh it’s done should go out this week heard that about 8 times then the best part they told me oh it’s been done but we sent it to the original place of purchase dropping hertz then magically appeared in the Mail. Bottom line amps are great customer service sucks!! Maybe focus on that more

I have a JP 23v2 pushing 4 8’s all day in California summer heat with no issues. Haters gunna hate.

Been vibin' with my JP95 in my Focus ST. It does the job well, paired with a ct-sounds meso 10" at 1ohm. I do have a question though, how do these amplifiers operate under a smart charging alternator system? (i.e. when voltage fluctuates between 12.5v - 14.2v while driving like most newer cars these days) I disabled my battery management system for now so I'm charging at a constant 14v but I'm genuinely curious as to how the amplifier would handle the voltage fluctuations? Thanks

I really want to try one of these amps

These amps make A LOT of power and are very compact.... That means heat. And many people run below one ohm. That's even MORE heat. Put fans on your amps. :)

Soo true. Everyone wants to be a pro installer but doesn't want to take advice. I've had my jp23's strapped .5 ohm each. Gets hot yes. But never had a single issue. And I've had them running daily like this for a year now. Only during summer times do I get red lighted. But got me some better high flow fans and I play all day long.

I have a MM1002 jammed in the front fairing of my Harley running to 2 ohm speakers and I haven't had heat issues. I run it at highway volume for hours in Florida.

I've been running a jp 13 for over a solid year on top of my underseat sub box seat sits right on top of it with some spacers and hasn't given me any issues yet I hear the fan always on but doesn't get hot.

As a person who has built his own amp in High School, repaired them and installed them and also sold them, YES a amp can do weird things for any reason, I just had a amp go into PRT an sent in under warranty, there was no fault found, which was weird!~

I'll say this. JP is the only person addressing any issue like this anywhere really. People don't realize, there are only a hand full of companies that make car audio components. Companies like JP go to these companies and put their name on it. D4S just chooses from a line the company likes. Then the real company that makes the amp or whatever. Just puts the name on it. It's possible that D4S amps and Memphis amps come from the same company. I just chose Memphis as an example.

I'd love to do a build using the jp amps man. Those things are tanks!!

Great products. Your correct, most folks don’t run proper electrical and expect great output. Bass on. When people hate, your doing something great.

Need a video showing how long the amps can run when properly installed compared to how they’re being ran in some of these systems I.E. proper electrical proper feet spacers crammed into tight spots direct sunlight

3:25 I love seeing amps with properly arranged wires and do not look like a bird's nest of wires.

Many don't realize when they shrink these amps down in the newer versions with increased output you are going to have a hotter amp. Best to add a fan rack.

The amps are solid, I'm still running an original jp 63, but the bass knobs? I know corners have to be cut a bit to bring the best at an affordable price but me personally, don't need the bass knobs, nothing beats feeling the temp when the amps are in reach and using a voltage meter

I have my amps under the front seats but I'm always using the AC blowing to front and foots (dont know how's called in English) the cold air enters one side and the fans exhaust the heat.

I just ordered a Jp3 for my 2 sundown audio subs today

Been buying amps from D4S for over a year and these crush my subs and push my mids with no issues. Been trying to find any reason to upgrade and they are still running great but when I down upgrade it’s going to be another D4S amp. My only regret from this purchase is not selecting the autograph option at this point 😂

First off i love my jp23v1.5.....best amp i have owned since the mid 90s when i owned a punch 150 .....i run an american bass xr 12 dual 2 2400 peak ....and have to keep the gain on the jp turned down just under half way ....because the sub cant handle any more power ....and i run it full tilt a lot ....and i have never seen over 120 degrees .....i do usually have the window down ....in my 98 s10 extended cab ....and i do have the amp mounted with half in spacers so air can flow under the amp.....and i do have upgraded alternator....big 3 ...frame grounds and 0 guage .....and it may go out next time i turn it on but almost a year in now and its been flawless ....even in the hottest of a tennessee summer .....i would guess most people having trouble have the amp mounted where it cant get good air flow around it ....run it at too low a ohm load ....or bad electrical ....i wouldnt hesitate to buy another jp series amp ....probably will eventually add another 12 and another jp23v1.5...anyways just my opinions and facts about my usage and experiences

Posting on Social Media is the quickest way to get a response. If you don't want them going to X, you have to have lightening fast email responses. Even then, if I have an issue I'm going to share the problem. Some companies are really good at handling issues, some blatantly lie and expect you not to realize 1+1=2. I had a 3d printer company not respond to emails about a hot end failure. It was an issue from assembly and the failure happened 3 times. The owner got pissy when I tweeted about it and said that no one else had an issue with them. He had no response to why the part that failed and needed replaced was LITERALLY the only part out of stock! Thank God for E3D V6's!

Thank you JP ! Common Sense !!!! 🤔

Hi jp I have the jp 234 & jp 84 they great amplifiers. I always use 3/4 inch nylon spacers to create space & bolt them.On any amplifier also I add 2 small fans on bottom plate of amplifier. Make circle cut out exact for 12v fan to fit in or out the amplifier bottom plate . Finally attach the 12v fan to amplifier remote so it's on when amplifier is on then off when amplifier is off .Finally add 1 amperage fuse to fan from amplifier remote just to keep within electrical code 😊. That's how you keep your amplifier running for long time. That's a great explanation jp keep the good work

I have the JP 23 in the trunk of my vehicle it’s been awesome so far. It’s been a year so far ZERO issues. I would definitely buy again and again.

Good info

.5% of 1/2 million is 2500. The small percentage will still be a large enough number to seem bad ,, but it’s quite the opposite..nothing is perfect .. and most installations are less than ideal conditions. I DO NOT consider myself a JP fan BUT I am a fan of the JP amps build quality, innovation and value. My next amp will be a JP amp as long as their standards remain where they are or greater.

So I got a question my man. I live in California and it can get pretty hot here in the summer too and I’ve had other branded amps cut out music temporarily and stop playing bass during those hot summer days. Most of that is my own fault, I’ll admit, as the the user im the main contributor to the equipments failure during those extreme hot summer days when I know better than to max them out but I still do lol. But I’ve never had a class d 4 channel amp. This is going to be my first. Is it going to work at moderate to high volumes If mounted in the factory amp location behind the Carpets of my bmw for majority of the year ? I can understand the summer months can be brutal on aftermarket electronics but if I’m replacing the Oem amp I want to be sure the replacement will out perform the original and remain out of sight and still work during moderate to high volumes within reason?

Im running a jp23 on my home system running 1 15. Now i want the jp 83 for my 3 15s in my truck

I have 4jp23 amps and have not ever had a problem. They are good amps.

My OG jp23 v1 still going strong after 4 or so years. Yeah it's get warm in summer but that's what fans are for😅

I had a JP8 and the JP84 and the only problem I had with mine is the speaker terminal. The threads pulled out of the aluminum.

Well I will find out, just ordered a JP13. I'm driving two low profile 12" subs at 1ohm. My Hifonics Zeus handled them for 1.5 years before taking a poo. New Hifonics is definitely not as good as the old school VII amps. I had a series VII Boltar that drove Kicker comp 15's at 2 ohm for 5 years when I was a teenager then sold my blazer. Wish I had that old school amp back! I read good reviews and watched some great dyno videos for D4S. Hope this amp lives up to those videos and ratings!

Facing the issue face-to-face, well done JP. This is why you've been my bass-plug for nearly a decade now. 🙌

I have 2 V1 JP23s that’s been strapped at 2ohm since purchase and never had any issues. They have clean power and external fans. I have a JP33 wired at 1 ohm since day one and no issues. Also a JP77 and same story ZERO issues. All on clean power and kept cool. No issues. Typically people that wire in the dirt have temp issues also that put in an area with no ventilation. I’m by no means a JP super-fan but I have enjoyed the fresh product selection and great colors.

semi off topic but in Massachusetts fall is bass season. nice and cool. amps perform the best.

Two reasons an amp overheats improper wiring and not venting. Two washers under one side and I've never been able to get over 86 degrees in 60 degree weather I've taken a 8 hour road trip full tilt under clip and never overheated. Most stout line of amps ever! Love my JP13

I have a JP23v2 mounted under a false floor in my spare tire well and the hottest I ever saw it get was 151 deg F at a car show in Arizona. I honestly couldn't believe that it never went into protect, but I have active temperature cooling using an SMD TM-1 and 4 PC cooling fans. Also, the false floor above the amps sits on rails that have holes drilled through them to allow rising heat to escape. Works like a charm! Currently wired @ .75 ohms, rising to between .9 and 1.1 ohms. Peak is 4 ohms @ 43Hz. I have the gain turned down to about 3K, otherwise my sub's voice coil kisses the backplate! I LOVE THIS AMP!

Haters make you famous JP and like you said most people don’t know how to wire amps or even mounting them at all wish I could afford your amps some day I will get one

I live in Phoenix AZ all i do is Mount my amp with 3 washers on each corner just so it can breathe, i mount my amp on a half inch thick wood shelf i repurposed it as an amp rack

This may sound dumb.... but why do you not build a product that solves these issues for the average dork that wants good sound? Like build the amp with enough stand off to allow the proper airflow, and then maybe further with one with cooling fins, a shade, and a fan to force cooling? Like it seems counter intuitive to give this advice but noy build it into your own products. Am I wrong?

Tengo varios y siempre los recomiendo trabajan muy bien amuy buen precio

I"ve been running my JP23 at 0.5 ohm for over a year and I have never had a problem with and I've never seen it get over 105 degrees
