I’ll just go to the website thanks tho and good vid
Yo! Great list you non-bot 😝. As soon as the boat arrives I’d add the D4S JP34ab, but solid list fo sho. Only one I’d hard pass on but I won’t be slinging no names 😊
No bots here!
Let me guess the amp you'd pass on. It rhymes with the name of the aftershave nobody buys but always received as a gift for Christmas from their parents/grandparents. LoL
We still wanna know what you hard pass on. Then again we could probably guess too.
He gave your real name away dude
So I take it The D4S JP34ab is a SOLID AMP?
Love my Orion HCCA 4,000.4! It has tons of power and sound's pretty good. Headroom for days.
love the acm 4.300. running 3 of them in my car and they do not disappoint. luckily i only paid $220 each for them
I'm glad I just found your channel. It's hard to fing good car audio channels. I just switched over to the JL VXis but I was running the Rockford R2 500x4 and it was a great little 4 channel with built in clip light. It's only a little over $300. Had good power.
Welcome aboard!
I'm loving the pioneer GM-D8604/8704/9704 at the moment.
Running 2 subs bridged at the moment
One of my favorite car audio review bots! Your like the Max Headroom of car audio.
😂
Great video! Would love to try all of those amps!
Killer vid bro. Thanks for doing all the work.
Thanks for watching
One of my faves is the pioneer GM-D8604
Great list, the d4s amp checks all boxes for me
It definitely hits both ends of the spectrum for me
love all your videos keep them coming
Thanks for watching!
The new US Acoustics Lisa is killer and Mike replaced the spade terminals with input connectors to match the rest of the line. Sad to see the Barbara Ann didn't make the list, but I may be a little US Acoustics bias!! Great list buddy. Keep the awesome videos coming.
I have a Barbara Ann it’s amazing!
Killer amps. The Lanna has insane specs for the price as well. I loved my Mike and Barb.
Thanks man! Your opinion is always greatly appreciated!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I use a Kicker CXA360.4. It's a great amp, a little power hungry but it's super clear and has plenty of power. I wouldn't mind checking out the Kicker Key though.
Perfect timing …Great video 👌
Thanks!
hey vega thanks for your advice on the morel tempo ultra 602 crossovers and i got lucky and found the crossovers reinstalled them in my toyota mpv with morel integra coax rear with 4 channel audison sr4.500 amplifier and that sundown you advised on before i got that sd3 10
We now need a top 10 Amps to get if you live in :
San Francisco, Portland, Seattle.
Then a top 10 for Amps that will keep their cool even in the summer without adding cooling.
Something like that would REALLY be neat and I don't think it has been done before.
My personal fav is the NVX and the NVX 5 channel for just $10 more. Its BIG. I like big imposing amps. And you have room to mount active cooling on the bottom plate.
The key's a little beast. Sounds great and gets plenty loud with some cheap pro audio mids
Yeah man it punches above its weight class
Very good list with a good variety of options. I woulld only switch the Skar RP-150.4AB for the Skar SKV2-100.4AB. The RP is a better deal but it basically only fits in trucks. The Skv2is still huge but it is mountable in a car’s trunk somewhere and it doesn’t need a fan to stay cool. I’ve had the Skv2 for 4 years and it went from my Tsx to my Accord and still sounds great and has performed flawlessly.
RP150.4 and RP800.1 in my 99 maxima no problem
@@theycallmeherbie rp150.4 where in your altima?
Why would u switch a 150 for a 100 amp on the skar??
@@cali8221 The 100 is Korean made and has higher build and sound quality. Plenty of power for average good quality mids/ tweets.
I like to use Marine equipment in cars thinking they are put together better. And all have to be CEI certified. So I've installed a couple of the Rockville Phenom 6 channel Marine amplifiers and they are a SQ amp with very good sound quality and decent wattage. I matched the amp to Polk DB+ Marine coaxial speakers, balanced and clear. I mean, it sounded better than I expected and at $200 a good value. Still working fine after 1.5 years. Class AB. It just isn't able to push subwoofers, even when you bridge the last two channels just not a subwoofer amp. But pushing your mids and highs I think is a really good amp, but it does take some space. Not a small amp but looks good. I can't say anything about the Rockville car amps, but this Marine Rockville amp actually impressed me, and I think it would you too. I think the S/N ratio is 95 dB. No distortion or even a "hum" from being turned on.
Jp234 is a nice one also, little on the higher side but I personally love ‘em
For sure I just gotta think for that blue lol
Great video- maybe a morel mps4.400( used to be $299, but I think the rate increased) I've used it, and like the old a/b, on your maximusV2s, they would be loud! I have the jp, and love the blue. I have used the D'amore 1000 e series mono block, and it is incredibly clean on the output 👍🏼
I’ve never used the Morel amp, but it’s on my want to list.
@@HifiVega it has clean, dynamic output. Rated 70watts by4@4ohms- if you get one , I'd suggest the Maximus comps on them, they're efficient, as you know,& you'll get more output on that, or any amp you use those speakers on👍🏼👍🏼
Hello again sir! Lol since i trust your opinion i am wondering (other than maybe cost) is there a reason you havent reviewed any of the CAB amps?
I have been recommended the CAB-22 alot and while looking at their site i saw the CAB-M4 1000w class A/B 4 channel amp and im honestly wondering how it would compare to the NVX NBA401...
You get more power for not too much more money (like $50-$70 depending on sale prices)
Im just curious about them and wondered if there is a specific reason you or big D havent reviewed their products yet 🤔
What do you think about the Soundigital EVOX 400-4 ?
Thank you!
Is this list the best for the money? I see a lot of cheap Chinese board options.
Granted this amp is not going to do rated but I needed/wanted a cheaper 4 channel to run my 6x9s tx skar audio and 3.5 in ds 18 Kevlar cone dash speakers and I was hesitant but bought an orion cobalt 3500.4 ab and it unbrigged gives them all they want and for the price the sound quality is very good ....cost around 100 us dollars and worth every penny.....
Well, I have a RF Power 400a4 that when I bought it had the lowest distortion rating of any amp I looked at. I was told it's the cleanest amp there is.
hi there i like the vids mate..was just wondering about the Stetsom is that a TIMPANO amp relabelled , ive seen a video that big D MADE burning 2 of these amps...as it didn't have over current protection?? i wouldn't want that in my car if that's the case? do you know if they are the same and maybe they have fixed the problem now.what do you think.cheers
I have a Rockford fosgate T400xad for my 61/2 component up front and my 61/2 coaxial for the rear and this amp is fantastic especially hooked to a dsr 1
The t series Rockfords are excellent
I still have my t800ad that's easily 10 years old.
Great list, thanks for the video. Have you ever tested the Sound Ordnance house brand amps from Crutchfield? The M75-4 4 channel claims 75x4 rms @ 4ohm, 110x4 @ 2ohm and 160x2 bridged @ 4ohm. Lists at $160.00, and I couldn't find any test videos of it from a quick search
I have not got a chance to get hands on with any sound ordnance products yet
I keep getting recommended the Rockford Fosgate P400x4 when searching for amps. Where would you put this on the list for pure sound quality? I'll be using 4 Polk Audio DB651 (RMS 60W) that will have most of the bass crossed over into the sub, so they don't need to pump bass out. What is my best option for my situation most likely? The option to keep it behind my dash with the first one is appealing. The only amp I've ever had was internal on the Sony XB100BT 40W RMS. It fried in a car with bad wiring, very sad.
I looking to spend 200-300 on an amp 2 or 4 channel just to run my tweeters for sound quality. Suggestion?
Im late but ive loved my nba-401 (based on your recommendation) for the price i couldnt be happier but its so damn big lol im hoping to find another quality a/b amp with a lot of power but way smaller lol
Sony XM-GS4 for the sound quality crowd?
Im just finishing up my truck(2dr Ford f150 2010) build with all the old stuff I had. Rockford t2 6.5 and t1 5.25 in the doors running off old alpine mrv-f300 which i need to replace,
these are 4 channels im looking at.
Just ordered damore e.700X4 sale ($250)
audio control d800x4($500)
stereo integrity s1q 125.4($479) the looks are killer
d4s jp34 ($249)
I seeing some good deals on those. Any thoughts would be great. goal is just loud but with sq
I know this is an old video but i'm a noob 7 looking ffor help. I like the Kicker Key esp due to the small form & DSP. 2 questions. The speakers I'm looking at are 125W @ 4ohm RMS, will i be unhappy powering them at 50W per channel? & 2) My factory system has a DSP built in, Will i see any benefit to the external dsp?
I recommend audiocontrol dc audio and Rockford Fosgate t series Power, the best quality Amplifiers 👌
That Kenwood xr will make your mids and highs sing..wonderful sq amp..
Excellent amps
@@HifiVega this amp is the second best sounding amp iv heard for the money,next to my arc audio xdi 80.4
I decided to get back into having fun with car audio and found an unused OG "Orion 4004" in his Garage which ima just use til I source some better item 😁
I’m rocking focal k2 power speakers tweeter comp and coaxial what’s the best amp I can get ,there 360 wats total my Rockford gate only pushes 300 watts I’m under powering them they could be louder I’m sure what should I get
What about for a 2013 Harley Davidson Street Glide application?
Hey Rob, love the content. I'm having trouble getting recommendations from folks that have used the Kicker Key 200.4 that also seem to KNOW what they are talking about. I'm looking into amping a six-speaker set (two 3.5 kenwoods in the doors, two alpine s69 component woofers in the front doors, and two s-r69.2 alpine 2-way 6x9s in the rear doors) If this was your speaker setup, how would YOU use the kicker with these and a stock radio? Amp front four wired in parallel on two channels and amp the rears on the other two channels or would you run the 3.5 and door components off of the amp and leave the rear 6x9s wired to the stock stereo?
Once again, great content. Thank for going through all the info. Very informative
3.5’s and 6x9’s off the key and the rear speakers off the stock radio
@@HifiVega appreciate your input, thanks!
Does that Sony work with JBL/Infinity 3 Ohm speakers?
Hey Rob Great video is the Kicker Key easy to install.
thoughts on the ct sounds 150.4?
One of my favorite HIFIVEGA videos!
Can you do a top 10
5 channel. Amps??
Do a video on the stetsom amp.
Hey Rob, I see you have the Kenwwod excelon's 6.5 component speakers on the back (the yellow ones). Are you installing them on the trooper or are you gonna make a review on them?
Yes and yes it’s just gonna be a while before it gets done 😬
Awesome list Vega…
I’d be interested in seeing a Best SQL amp list…
I’m trying to put together a super loud, high fidelity truck setup and I’m struggling to find good sounding, compact, 4 channel amps that can put out at least 250w per channel @ 4 ohm
That’s a tough one mainly because you’d like something compact, but off the top of my head you may want to look at full bridge Brazilian amps or maybe the new D4S amps
For SQL Zapco,Ground Zero GZUA6.200,Sundown Salt amps,and the only Brazilian amp id ever use for SQ purposes is the Sound Digital GAN amps.
I had an old school Jensen 400 w. 4 ch. and I had 2 12in subs with two ch. And I had 4 6x9 and 4 6.5 with the other 2 ch and it was loud. You could hear everything really clear and loud from about a block away. Maybe two blocks away
my Skar 4 channel has performed flawlessly
I’m going to take your word for it and go for the kicker key, been looking at that for quite a while but wasn’t sure to buy to me that’s not really much power, but leaning more towards a nice SQ sound
I don’t think you will be disappointed and don’t let the 50x4 fool you it’s quite a lil brute
killer lineup
🤟🏼
decent list, i would leave out oddball stetsom & put in rockford fosgate prime 500.4 ...
Fair enough, but mo powah baby lol. RF prime really is great though
I will keep my 2 zapco c2k amps 4.0x and 9.0xd thanks
Hay Vega, what about the soundqubed s4-100? It is built in the best build house in china. Does 200x4 at 2 and you can get always find one for 179.99 got mine for 139 and it sounds good stays cool and has a very small foot print. What are your thoughts do u think it should make the list and what is more reliable that does 800rms??? I’m putting it with a new soundqubed s1-2250 which does 2700 rms you think I should keep my gladiator 10s at.5 pushing800 rms each or get the audio legion Maximus and use more my power?
I’d stick with the Soundqubed
Kicker key 4 channel vs the nvx mvpa 4 channel amp, which would you recommend? I already have a headunit with dsp , time alignment ect, so the kicker key might be redundant. Or would it make it sound better? My speakers can handle 100 watts rms
If you’re confident in your tuning skills grab the NVX because y’all have more power. If you’re not great at tuning grab the Kicker key and you will be impressed.
Would love to know your thoughts on the NVX VADM4 mini amplifier.
The vad amps are great! If it’s one you’re considering I wouldn’t hesitate
Nice bro 👌
Mr Vega, love the vids!! I’m just curious (because I have this amp). LOL. Why not the Rockford P600x4 on the list? And what are your thoughts on the amp? You can give it to me straight,I’ll still love ya. LOL.
The prime amps are excellent all of them. I just try to get a diverse list so there is a lil bit to cover everyone.
@@HifiVega It’s actually the Punch p600x4. But it’s all good. Happy Easter buddy!!
I have the Skar RP150.4ab and It's a beast. Gain at less than half and my mids and highs are loud and clear. It is big though. It's the same size as the RP2000.1d. Keep on bassin👍🏼👍🏼
A lot of bang for the buck, but she’s a big girl lol.
Check out the ds 18 exl p 4 channels there korean boards class ab.. I'm interested. Since I'm runni g ther new hooligan ko korean mono it's so small for a half bridge
What about jl audio?
Fan of the pioneer gm series picked up a 8704 haven`t ran it yet though.
I dig the 9601 and the 9701 mono blocks
I'm looking for 8704 as well, have you tried it?
@@deepapo haven't installed it yet but i currently run the gm mono block for my subs and it runs great.
I have 2 amps 4 channel in my sound system, a Orion xtr500.4 XTR and a Massive Audio PX3000.4, both are very powerful, but a want to know you opinion if you have tried them or heard how they work, must like quality sound, I know that you must be thinking that if I have them connected it’s because I must know how good the sound quality is, but I have them connected to a DSP so you know that a DSP control almost everything and Completely improves sound quality, that why I never heard them separately
I don’t know which would sound better because I haven’t used either 😬
Hi. Do you know of a few decent brand amplifier that are budget friendly with 1200 watts with 4 channels?? Thankyou in advance
This is the one I’d recommend
lddy.no/1i7o7
I’ll be running the skar rp150.4. I bought it for 220 almost 4 years ago. Never seen power as I’ve been waiting for something I can shove that long ass amp into. Lol.
Man, I buy stuff and have it sit on the shelf for years waiting to be used too lol
I'm curious what people think of the Jensen 4 channel amps with the Bluetooth DSP built in. $80 Walmart n does 80rms at 4ohm, 120rms at 2ohm and 240rms bridged at 4 ohms. I'm running 3 currently n love them.
I think they’re solid little amps for the money
I just got a JP34ab!
Hey bro. What's your opinion of the Orion Xtr 500.4 amp? Have you ever heard it or the 750.4? I'm curious about the SQ. I know they do rated power. The 500.4 is only 140 on Amazon at the moment
Unfortunately, I haven’t listened to either in depth…
Lucked up and picked up another arc audio amplifier. This time it was a KS 125.2 to run my tweeters. $75 I'm phenomenal shape. I wouldn't even be looking at arc audio if it weren't for you bro. I don't have much room for amos so the size of these Arcs is awesome. Can't wait to hear them
im not a skar fan at all but i think that rp 150.4ab is a solid highs amp for the money
mine has been awesome
how did you leave out the Pioneer GM-DX874? Beast
I was slippin!
Can't argue with the list one bit...
Taramps DS440x4 $128 and DS800x4 $177 both on Amazon.
hey vega im old but still hooked my old school id 12 svc i told you about might need a back up in the future so i bought an alpine s-w10d4 10 inch 4 ohm and i have another s60 alpine to back up jl 500/5 cause they both are long in the tooth lol , but i have a chance to a new 1dq 10 dvc , my ? is vega, do think thats a major sq upgrade in a bandpass or sealed box over the alpine? your opinion matters lol!!!!
The Alpine subs are great, but if I’m picking one of the two I’m going with the IDQ
@@HifiVega many many thanks , i knew i had to bring back that old id magic!!!!
Just got "HPA SY-P1002 pre amplifier" from work, they were gonna throw it away wich was great because im looking to buy a speaker setup, now maybe i can skip the amp? Is it any good or should i try to sell it (is it even worth anything) and buy a new? Thx!
Who was the manufacturer?
( www.manualslib.com/products/Hpa-Sy-P1002-8877763.html ) is all i could find about it, dont know more :s
So between the AudioControl amp and the d’amore e400.4
Which one do you think sounds better I have the audio control but I’m thinking about getting d’amore e400.4
Hard to say for your application. I’ve heard plenty of both, but imo I don’t think going to the D’amore is going to upgrade your sound vs the AC it would likely be more of a wash.
@@HifiVega ok got it honestly the audio control and sounds remarkable
Maybe I’ll just keep it and use it
@@HifiVega thanks for the reply brother have a wonderful day
Question. Are all of the ratings of the amps per channel or combined.
Per channel with the exception of the bridged rating
SOUNDIGITAL 1200.4 EVO class d and super small
Great list but surprised no JL Audio on it. Have they slipped?
No JL is great I just haven’t had a lot of hands or ears on with them recently
@@HifiVega I respect your integrity!!
👍🏾😎🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵 great post!
I'm surprised the jp23 4 wasn't in the list
JP234 is all you need to know. If you think the JP84 was nice youll love its bigger brother. Sounds amazing and provides plenty of power.
RMS POWER: 334W x 4 @ 14.4v - 2 ohms
RMS POWER: 234W x 4 @ 14.4v - 4 ohms
BRIDGE POWER: Range 640 - 740w x 2
In black tho 😬 that blue catches my eye
Man jp amps cost too much period..atleast for me on a budget build
My Alpine mrv f345 is a really great amp 75x4 at 4 ohm but send 150 watts to my 2 ohm kappas
Alpine has always been solid
Thanks for making me laugh about the bot joke
Kicker represent!
Good video. Quite a variety to choose from. 🥋🤛🤛 Cobra Kai!!😡😡

Rockford fosgate t1000-4ad
Can't wait for 5 channels...
I've been running the Audiocontrol for just about a year,great amp it's a real little beast make sure you check your speakers specs this thing makes more power than rated,you might want to set the gains conservatively.
It’s a tiny performer!
Hey,
I have a TS-W312D4 subwoofer(500watts rms) and two TS-R1651S mid range speakers(40watts rms each).
Can anyone recommend an amplifier that will power this setup to the fullest.
Disclaimer: I am on a tight budget.
Thank you.
Is anyone tried the Focal 4340 4ch amplifier?
I haven’t yet, but it’s on the list of want to’s
HiFi, did you consider the CAB M4 from Audio Apex?
I haven’t gotten hands on with one, but they look solid.
I have one, they really are well built, great sounding amps! And they are very fairly priced considering what you get. And they do every bit of rated power. You should really get your hands one.
The M4 would have been my #1 pick, hands down!
I like my MTX 75.4 class AB. 75 watts @ 4 ohms x4, 100 @ 2 ohms x 4 or 200 & 4 ohms x 2. $219 at Crutchfield.
I'm interested on getting this amp, how SQ would you consider its performance is?
@@jovenlara5868 I don’t have any experience to compare it to. I can say that I am satisfied for the price and power you get. SQ to me may be different from what you expect. Sorry.
I do like that shirt.
You have exemplary tastes my friend
ok, im cornfoosed. How can something be 400 watts x 2 @ 4 ohm mono? Isnt x 2 (2 chan) @ 4 ohm?
That’s when using the amp in bridged mode essentially making a 4 channel amp into a 2 channel amp
