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 Жыл бұрын

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.

@91CavGT5 Жыл бұрын

@@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.

@jdrissel Жыл бұрын

@@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...

@laptech3767 Жыл бұрын

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. Original Bose had food soundstage and concert like experience, but the Bose subwoofer sucked. It is a 4" subwoofer that produces very weak bass

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.

Remember that most customers don't watch amplifier tests, they simply go by what's printed on the box. Understating power ratings is not smart for the average buyer.

I have an Alpine monoblock I bought for $50 at a second hand shop 10 years ago. I think it's supposed to be 500watt. I was running an old Kicker L7 12" and it sounded good but the speaker is heavy and I had to pull it out sometimes to use the back seat in my truck. Front door speakers are Jenson 2 way and a basic Alpine deck. Rear door speakers are factory ones. I sold the Kicker and got myself a JL audio 10" in a box specifically made for that speaker powered by the old Alpine second hand shop amp. It hits so much harder and it's half the weight.

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

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

Is the bass remote voltage display and clip light accurate? love it! I might have to pick one up!

@JasonWW2000 Жыл бұрын

The clip light is very accurate. The voltage has an adjustment screw.

So I just purchased AJP3 amplifier and was wondering is a. 70. Amp fuse? Really big enough for how much power this produces?

Would this amp run on my stock dodge dart alternator? My jense xda91rb and 2 12in kicker c12s make my headlights dim and my rpms fluctuate at idle. I want to use this power 3 deaf bounce 12s @ 1ohms

@JasonWW2000 Жыл бұрын

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?

How is it that this amp makes more power than the JP8 on the dyno? I'm confused, please explain results.

It's awesome, the only concern I have is the amount of power going through such a small amp. I live in the desert, it gets hotter than a rattlesnakes taint during the summer.

Ask Big D to document ambient rise over like 20 minutes and then calculate yours from that.

@SeanOMatic Жыл бұрын

I don't think you really should worry. The heatsink on this amp does its job and while it'll get hot, those internal parts are all rated for 85-100C. You should be just fine, especially if you run proper voltage. Adding an extra 140MM fan to the mix to move air across the amp won't hurt things, either.

@bones40447 Жыл бұрын

Just put additional fans on the amp. Problem solved.

It has a built in fan under the plexiglass cover.

@Ja3cques Жыл бұрын

Id upgrade that fan to a noctua to keep it cooler and quieter. In the pc game theyre king. The bequiet! Silent wings 4 are also a very good choice of pc fan if you can manage to fit a 140mm fan.

The fact that the output stays similar in lower ohms means that it has quality chips in it keeping the protection walls up I really love the fact that JP is choosing quality over quantity This amp is perfect for a beginner or just a regular base lover with 2 500 Watts 800 peak kicker vr 12in perfect set up to run at 2 ohm

@JasonWW2000 Жыл бұрын

Keep in mind that this amplifiers constant power design is different from most amplifiers and that's why it has consistent output. It has nothing to do with the quality of the chips

@johnpolaski6126 Жыл бұрын

@JasonWW2000 lol still goes back to the design of constant output under stress loads thats where weak links fail... i.e. chips and circuit design... im into electronics and amplifier repairs.... my comment was directed at jp's choices...you could have a cheaper version of any of these components and have different parameters of functionality (like when turninig on and off)voltage regulators. sot23 ...ceramic resistors... zn44 mosfets... filters.... pnp's....rectifiers...npn's you think none of these are in a constant output designe... but thaks for chiming in... at least theres discussion, learning, and growing in the community follow barevids he repairs amps
