Seeing the rare amps reminded me of PG’s Frankenstein and Son of Frank amps. Never did actually see a Frank but I did see the Son in a demo vehicle at the USAC Finals. AWESOME job as always Big D!!
So stoked about this monster 7 channel! I’m glad you showed the history of the 7 channel amps so people could see how BIG BOY THIS IS. BIG POWER AND BIG VALUE! Y’all be sure to use his affiliate link when ordering! Hhmmm which amp should we get Jacob Scott to create next?
There is NOTHING like this on the market. I am a long time car audio fan with deep knowledge of brands all the way from skar audio up to fancy stuff like mosconi, focal, etc.. There is literally nothing like this that i've ever seen. There are several 6 or 8 channel amps.. but none of them have any decent power on the sub channel. I am a person where 1-2kw will do it for me.. but i cant stand using a amp with only 500 or 600w on the sub channel. I dont even need an amp but I am probably going to pick one of these up just to keep on hand for my next build i do. Once these sell out, it will be hard to ever find anything like them again.
That 77 is a beast for sure. Remember with the Down4Sound products you will always get more bang for you buck 💰❤. Thank you did your time in making this. I truly appreciate everything you do 🍻

I'd like to see Sam go over this amp from stem to stern. Maybe test the amp for THD at rated output as well. IMO the real turning point for these D4S amps will be if/when someone uses one for a competition SQ system....and is at least competitive. We hear all the time that the amp is the least important element in a true SQ system. Well, this is the perfect amp to confirm or disprove that claim. Excellent overview and dyno video Dereck!
@@walJust getting around to this video (must have missed it) and imo if a judge needs to see a brand to be impressed, they’re not a real judge and should have their creds yanked.. especially for sq. Either it sounds good or it doesn’t. Agree with Mark 1000% on having Sam go over this amp in detail. I want to do an OS “themed” build in my ‘87 Tbird and this amp would be perfect. Outstanding video as always Big D!!
The only gripe I have about these amplifiers is that if I wanted to build out a system, I don't want my amp wall looking like a rainbow.... wish they all came in the same color.
I like the colors they're using, but wish you could order any amp in any color. Would probably take longer to get them in a custom color, but the option would be nice. Maybe they'll start doing that at some point, I can't imagine it would be easy to do from a logistical point.
Thanks for the dyno D. JP is bringing the fire to the market for sure. I would love to hear Sams opinion on this entire line of amps. Maybe put some questions to rest on quality.
Been watching for a cpl years now but I don't post often. I would Love to hear Sam go into more detail on amplifier designs. And not just the JP. I'd be interested in that collab going over the details and nuances of many Quality amplifiers such as JL, RF, Kicker, and maybe someday look at some European SQ Amps like Masconi and Zapco. That would be an awesome series I think we'd all learn from.
Never been a fan of JP but this amp is legit, whole car power for what alot of guys spend on just a monoblock. Will be checking one of these out next time I need a full car setup for a customer for sure
Not trying to downplay the amp, because it's still impressive, but what would make you choose this over say, 2x Taramps DS 4000x4's which would give you 8kw rms vs this one that does almost 4k? Looking at the components on the outputs this is also a class D so sound quality should be pretty much the same.
@@00000005547 bc taramps are garbage for both SQ and build quality. ive run half the power of the taramps in exact setup , played deeper and louder. ive put many taramps in bike installs with PA stuff and SQ was junk, it was loud asf but that what the customer waz looking for so it served its purpose, for me, the wont ever be a brazilian amp in my vehicles ever again. the md8k was flaky, didnt last long, got excuses from customoer service, and was told it may be almost 4 months for repair...threw in garbage and replaced with a cheap rp4500 and it WAY outshined the 8k in both loudness and authority down low.
Thank you so much for bringing this Wagyu beefy amp to my attention. I do hope they make it a permanent part of their inventory. Keep up the awesome content, it's much appreciated.
If this is wagyu beef of amps, ramen noodles also come with wagyu beef lol just another cookie cutter man, look at his speakers, than look at deafbonce speakers, they come from the same warehouse overseas
Big D, Yare the man all your testing on these amps. I just ordered it to replace my JL AUDIO AMPS. They do not last that long. I wish Linear Power were still around. Those are what I competed with in high school and still using the 2.2 high voltage and 5002iq running my two jl 10s under the seat in one of my crew cabs. If I could, I would pay Linear Power whatever for a 6 channel or 7.....Keep up the awesome testing...old schooler to another.
I’m telling you this company is awesome. I have the jp234 and all I can say is wow. Clean loud and inexpensive. It bumps. Thanks to you. Big D . I also have the harmony audio on two type r 12s good enough for me. It replaced an xtant 1001dx. I can’t hear any sound quality difference but I do hear it rattling my mind out my head.
I would love to see a vid with you guys discussing the JP amps! Love watching barevids amp repairs. Great video as always. Personally i would have like to have seen the ×10 config for tweeters
I always appreciate your reviews! Because of your channel and amp dynos, I have made several big boy purchases.(This being another). I can't wait to get this in the truck on a potential 4 way active.
"Skar will only get you so far". They never come out with anything new. I got love for them cuz they got me back into the hobby, but you can outgrow them. Plus the permanent protect problem they had with the RP2000.1D's, and me having to exchange 4 of them to get one that works correctly, that wasn't fun to deal with. Although 3 yrs later, I still got it and still works🤷♂️
UPDATE: Before I got rid of my Kia, I ran this exact amp^^ for a couple months on a Sinfoni Tempo 3 way set, and a Savard Hi-Q 15, (signal processed by a Helix Ultra). I have zero complaints about this amplifier. It did everything I wanted it to. I just plugged it into the system and ran everything at zero gain, (because I didn't feel like measuring, or messing with anything). This thing is stout, and treated all of my speakers pretty well. I was considering selling it to help fund my current build, but after seeing it in this video again, maybe I'll just hang onto it. It's a solid piece of work, so far.
Thanks a ton big D I been patiently waiting for this dyno to drop to ensure 2k on the sub channel. Definitely gonna purchase this joker soon as Christmas is over
JP is really doing a good job with these Amplifiers they looks great they are really powerful I love everything about them nuff respect Sir keep up the good work 👍 👍 🙏
That is a special Amplifier. Big D, I bought some subwoofers from your brother in Virginia a few years ago. They are some 10 inch subs in a ported box. Yall look alike and I told him I be watching your cool videos. "This is not a mickey mouse program"
Damn BigD! This amp can go. It isn’t a Soundstream, but it sure has some guts to it! You do that interview thing with the guy. Would like to see it. Press on sir!
Baught one of these amps during black Friday sale and man this Amp gets down nice to know exactly what kind of power Its putting down definitely satisfied with the purchase! And it's a a great price!
Now D4S totally dropped the ball without adding the tweeter crossovers cause I totally intended to use this amp as a one chassis solution for a complete system
Glad it tested well, I got mine a couple weeks ago, and it won’t be going in till the spring. But I figured if JP put his name on it, it’s gotta be awesome. Great Video Big D !!
Rockford has had amps with massive dynamic headroom for years. This is indicative of a well designed amplifier. When there are big or loud peaks or transients it means the amp can supply the power, instead of falling on its face. I would say it likely sounds very good, i am very impressed with the feature set on this. Most amps with this many channels have very low power output. The SQ folks will love this one.. running active with a DSP, this is a one hit wonder for running a 3 way front stage and one or two 12-15" subwoofer(s). Pair this with a 8 channel DSP (cant find a 7 channel) and you will have a killer system.
I ordered this amp as soon as I watched your video. I will be replacing 3 amps in my truck with it. RF t600.4 , RF 225.2 and a RF t2500.1bdcp. Running RF t5 3way front and a SMD mini 12 inch sub all processed through a audiocontrol DM810. ..my 20+ year old 225.2 is causing a whining noise feedback into my other amps at zero volume. Currently my setup is loud and very clear at 143db so we will see if the jp77 stacks up against rockford fosgate. Thank you big d ,sam , jp and Jacob
@@wal I just received word that jp and his crew are overwhelmed with all the orders that have came in and it looks like it might be a while before I get it but I will definitely let you know how it goes
Good work you always put the videos together so well and you get all of the info on the amp out there for people to know before buying one so thank full for that i have used your videos multiple times to pick my amps
Here I am considering this for my truck... Upgrading from the stock 95A alternator to a 370A alternator. Not planning on pushing this to it's limits (power output wise), but utilizing the number of channels (set for the tweeters, set for the front woofers, set for the rear woofers, and another for the sub, DSP/EQ controlled, ~1100W RMS combined going by rated RMS of each driver). Still a bit concerned about it pulling too much power.
the only thing I can really say I dislike is the bass knob. It looks great and has nice features but it feels cheaply made.. the blue light is not nearly as bright as the previous knob that came with JP 23 but still very bright. also the knob it self When turning bass suddenly jumps from one levet up abouf 4 levels. it's not a smoth transition. I have it on a !skar EVL-15 @ 2 ohms and it bumps hard.
Interesting Amp... totally impressive. Great for bigger vehicle build, Time will tell with SQ. JP seems to be working 💪 the good angles 🤔 in an Audiophilac manner. 🤷
It’s difficult to calculate accurate efficiency with an amp with so many channels. This other guy commenting like 20x saying I’m hiding something doesn’t even calculate the other 6 channels that were active during the tests. If it’s really important I can try again and get an estimate. It should be between 75-85%
I still have my old school ppi art series as from 1996 2 1200 2 Channel and 2 200 watts 2 channel and 1 100 watt 2 channel clean still has art screen print on them
Love the channel. Worked @ custom sound shop back 90s and I miss my 90's Sony Mobile XES (X-1, P-1, Z50) Bi-Amp doors SoundStream Ref 200 on Boston Acoustic Pro silk tweets, Ref 300 on 6.5 MB Quart 6.5 Qseries, Ref 500 on x2 JBL 1200 GTi ported. I know you didn't ask but once I got the digital alignment set to this day I've found nothing similar. I could close my eyes and would swear Maria Carey (don't hate :) ) was standing right in front me singing.
One amp to do virtually everything. I'll go to their website to see if the 6 channels are class AB or class D. I have no issues on pigtails until they go bad...get extras. Thanks Big D.
He's been doing a lot of JP's amps because not only is he sending them to him for verification, this amp line is kind of a big deal right now!😁 Remember Dereck doesn't pull any punches on his channel, he says it like it is.
Some companies send Williston their products to test for the free advertising. And considering his huge base this is a very smart move to get your product out there. Jp I'm not too fond of, but he's very smart is in jumping on the opportunity. Can't blame Williston for reviewing what he's sent, other companies need to follow suit.
Great looking amps coming out from Down4Sound. I wish they had been around when I built my most recent system. The pricing for them is great but I wonder how long they can keep it up. Many times new brands are priced for low/no profit to get market share and many don’t make it past that stage. Skar walks the pricing fine line with their sk series korean amps while DC has gone upmarket with their korean amps. It will be interesting to see where Down4Sound is with their amps in a year.
I don't get why this guy has to crap on Skar audio to promote D4S. Both companies make good products for people on a budget. D4S has the lowest tuned pre-fab boxes I've seen on the internet at 32Hz. Others say 35-38Hz but are clearly in the mid 40's. The Skar prefabs are a true 38Hz which is good for all kinds of music not just songs with processed basslines.
@@jimjones3287 It sounds mean but its the truth and as he said in another comment, it helps the video’s performance with TH-cam algorythms. All Skar amps are actually on clearance on D4S’s website. I checked.
What's a good subwoofer for this amplifier's sub channel? I read reviews and some ppl say certain subs can draw more power than they're rated for. The last thing I want to do is clip.
Wow! What an amazing piece of car audio gold! I bet it would cost about the same as the amp to properly wire it up with all channels utilized. That includes additional bolstering of the vehicle’s electrical system to be able to power it properly. I hope D4S keeps making this one as part of their regular product line.
When you get a chance, could you test the Skar 150.4 amp? I’ve seen the amp in person and it’s sounds very good on quality speakers. Would like to see how it performs on the dyno

Baught one of these amps during black Friday sale and man this Amp gets down nice to know exactly what kind of power Its putting down definitely satisfied with the purchase! And it's a a great price!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hows the SQ? I just got mine but haven't installed it yet. I'm a bit concerned driving my tweeters with a Class D amp...
Now D4S totally dropped the ball without adding the tweeter crossovers cause I totally intended to use this amp as a one chassis solution for a complete system
Yeah that shocked me a bit too! Need external Crossover or DSP for tweeters. How did they miss that?
800 hz ain't too bad plus tweeters come with a crossover anyway but yeah I hear you ..
Glad it tested well, I got mine a couple weeks ago, and it won’t be going in till the spring. But I figured if JP put his name on it, it’s gotta be awesome. Great Video Big D !!
Rockford has had amps with massive dynamic headroom for years. This is indicative of a well designed amplifier. When there are big or loud peaks or transients it means the amp can supply the power, instead of falling on its face. I would say it likely sounds very good, i am very impressed with the feature set on this. Most amps with this many channels have very low power output. The SQ folks will love this one.. running active with a DSP, this is a one hit wonder for running a 3 way front stage and one or two 12-15" subwoofer(s). Pair this with a 8 channel DSP (cant find a 7 channel) and you will have a killer system.
Very interesting for sure!
I ordered this amp as soon as I watched your video. I will be replacing 3 amps in my truck with it. RF t600.4 , RF 225.2 and a RF t2500.1bdcp. Running RF t5 3way front and a SMD mini 12 inch sub all processed through a audiocontrol DM810. ..my 20+ year old 225.2 is causing a whining noise feedback into my other amps at zero volume. Currently my setup is loud and very clear at 143db so we will see if the jp77 stacks up against rockford fosgate. Thank you big d ,sam , jp and Jacob
Please reply back once you get it in 👌
@@wal I just received word that jp and his crew are overwhelmed with all the orders that have came in and it looks like it might be a while before I get it but I will definitely let you know how it goes
Good work you always put the videos together so well and you get all of the info on the amp out there for people to know before buying one so thank full for that i have used your videos multiple times to pick my amps
Thanks for the feedback!
This amp is a must have the real deal front stage SQ setup
Considering the extremely weird oscope readings. And horrendous service from d4s thats a big ole nope (and i own one. It sounds horrid)
Class D and SQ ????
@@kdeep1690 its both a all in one amp
@@jamesstephenson2346 hmm where is your vid with a oscope to vitrify your findings
@@jamesstephenson2346 ro you got this amp already and it sounds bad?
Another bad ass amp. I don't personally care for JP too much but these new amps he has are awesome. Ill be buying a few of them.
I’ve bought plenty of SKAR products and I’m not a fan of them so I get your reservations but also the fact this is a killer deal 👌
The only Skar I care for are the Sk series. The rest are junk.
Thumbs up for a whole lotta work. Thank you, Sir.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Down for sound "IS" down for sound !!! Nice 👍
👌😬👍
Love it! We're going to be getting one of these for our daily ;)
Here I am considering this for my truck... Upgrading from the stock 95A alternator to a 370A alternator. Not planning on pushing this to it's limits (power output wise), but utilizing the number of channels (set for the tweeters, set for the front woofers, set for the rear woofers, and another for the sub, DSP/EQ controlled, ~1100W RMS combined going by rated RMS of each driver). Still a bit concerned about it pulling too much power.
One amp for a full system, awesome sauce!!
Yeah boi
So glad you are doing this amp. When I saw it I am very interested in it.
ive been wanting to swap out my sae100.4 and sae 2000.1D for this amp, but ive been waiting for this exact video.
12:30 how'd you get higher wattage at lower voltage? That's pretty cool. S/n I appreciate the lower voltage tests.
Love to hear Sam's input on this Amp. Also that big amp at the end reminded me of the big a$$ Dr Crankenstine amps from mid to late 90's. 😅
You don’t know how scary it is you literally have seen into the crystal ball and know the next video! Wow 😳
Been waiting for this one. 👍
I recently installed this jp77 sounds great. I am running 3 way front stage plus sub .
Awesome 👏
the only thing I can really say I dislike is the bass knob. It looks great and has nice features but it feels cheaply made.. the blue light is not nearly as bright as the previous knob that came
with JP 23 but still very bright. also the knob it self When turning bass suddenly jumps from one levet up abouf 4 levels. it's not a smoth transition. I have it on a !skar EVL-15 @ 2 ohms and it bumps hard.
You know what this is such a cool Amp, I'll be ok running a passive setup and am sure it will be great...
Interesting Amp... totally impressive. Great for bigger vehicle build, Time will tell with SQ. JP seems to be working 💪 the good angles 🤔 in an Audiophilac manner. 🤷
Glad I bought it… what about current draw and efficiency? You normal show that. Thanks for great videos
It’s difficult to calculate accurate efficiency with an amp with so many channels. This other guy commenting like 20x saying I’m hiding something doesn’t even calculate the other 6 channels that were active during the tests. If it’s really important I can try again and get an estimate. It should be between 75-85%
@@wal thanks for the response I’m not a SQ person just want it to sound good and how much I’d need to run this in a vehicle…
Jp is my guy I remember his 1st video and his first time he cracked his window in his tahoe
great video big D! making me rethink my set up now haha
Nice work on history and testing. Quality content
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I still have my old school ppi art series as from 1996 2 1200 2 Channel and 2 200 watts 2 channel and 1 100 watt 2 channel clean still has art screen print on them
👌😬👍
Love the channel. Worked @ custom sound shop back 90s and I miss my 90's Sony Mobile XES (X-1, P-1, Z50) Bi-Amp doors SoundStream Ref 200 on Boston Acoustic Pro silk tweets, Ref 300 on 6.5 MB Quart 6.5 Qseries, Ref 500 on x2 JBL 1200 GTi ported. I know you didn't ask but once I got the digital alignment set to this day I've found nothing similar. I could close my eyes and would swear Maria Carey (don't hate :) ) was standing right in front me singing.
Awesome 👏
One amp to do virtually everything. I'll go to their website to see if the 6 channels are class AB or class D. I have no issues on pigtails until they go bad...get extras. Thanks Big D.
All channels are Class D
@@wal noooooo....
No shout outs to the Autotek Street Machine SX-777? 75x6 & 350x1. Awesome amp!
Damn, an amp that actually gives you what you pay for. Plus a little bit more.👍🏻
I actually have the DaVinci and the Zapco seven channel amps. Other brands made 7ch amps too I can't remember
I may have missed a few but I showed several
Big D, your doing a great job brother people on here are acting silly
Thank you 🙏
Is this still your channel or D4S?
100% mine. Is this your comment or Skar’s?
He's been doing a lot of JP's amps because not only is he sending them to him for verification, this amp line is kind of a big deal right now!😁 Remember Dereck doesn't pull any punches on his channel, he says it like it is.
@@RJSDZNS - glad he speaks for you then.
@@wal - I don't endorse, I actually have my own thoughts.
Some companies send Williston their products to test for the free advertising. And considering his huge base this is a very smart move to get your product out there. Jp I'm not too fond of, but he's very smart is in jumping on the opportunity. Can't blame Williston for reviewing what he's sent, other companies need to follow suit.
Great looking amps coming out from Down4Sound. I wish they had been around when I built my most recent system. The pricing for them is great but I wonder how long they can keep it up. Many times new brands are priced for low/no profit to get market share and many don’t make it past that stage. Skar walks the pricing fine line with their sk series korean amps while DC has gone upmarket with their korean amps. It will be interesting to see where Down4Sound is with their amps in a year.
I don't get why this guy has to crap on Skar audio to promote D4S. Both companies make good products for people on a budget. D4S has the lowest tuned pre-fab boxes I've seen on the internet at 32Hz. Others say 35-38Hz but are clearly in the mid 40's. The Skar prefabs are a true 38Hz which is good for all kinds of music not just songs with processed basslines.
@@jimjones3287 It sounds mean but its the truth and as he said in another comment, it helps the video’s performance with TH-cam algorythms. All Skar amps are actually on clearance on D4S’s website. I checked.
That MM1000 is a beast. Really impressed with the efficiency at 4ohms.
Any chance you could review one of their 4 channel mini amps? Mm1004
Can't wait to see what you come up with on the listening part.
Shout out to all the test done on this amp!
Wow what a amp beauty
Thanks Big D
😬👍
What's a good subwoofer for this amplifier's sub channel? I read reviews and some ppl say certain subs can draw more power than they're rated for. The last thing I want to do is clip.
Jp is killing me I might need this sexy blue beast
This amp is gonna make my tummy rumble….
More Barevids Colabs PLEASE!!!
Thanks for the feedback!
thats a killer amp!!! love the blue!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
looks like a good setup for a suv nice review
Yes please connect with Sam or ask him to do a review of the entire line? Sound Quality is my concern. I know they do the power!!!
That zen9 looked nice!
😎👍👍
Agreed!!
Damn… that’s the perfect amp for almost anyone
A tad of electrical needed but that’s a given 👊🏼
👌😬👍
I was waiting on this review….thanks! Any chance you’ll be doing a review of the Crossfire 5 channel as well?
Thanks for the suggestion!
That amp has an outstanding price based on the dyno results.
I concur
Ask Sam what he thinks about capxon capacitors.
👍
Great video Dereck
Thanks Booby B!!
Wow! What an amazing piece of car audio gold!
I bet it would cost about the same as the amp to properly wire it up with all channels utilized. That includes additional bolstering of the vehicle’s electrical system to be able to power it properly.
I hope D4S keeps making this one as part of their regular product line.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is a very interesting Amp!
The irony that the ad that popped up for me, before this video was for skar is hilarious to me.
They prob did that on purpose 😝
I’ve always wanted to run a 7 channel, just never enough sub pushing until now
Yeah this one is unique
This amp is a screaming good value.
👌😬👍
When you get a chance, could you test the Skar 150.4 amp? I’ve seen the amp in person and it’s sounds very good on quality speakers. Would like to see how it performs on the dyno
Thanks for the suggestion
I've seen it dyno'd on TH-cam recently. If it wasn't Williston, maybe HifiVector
