JP i have bought all of my audio equipment from you . can't wait to order one of these for my new setup. Glad big D did a dyno before I placed my order.
When I first started messing with car stereo 20 years ago, you could only really trust the name brands for best results. My system was ALL pioneer and I had the most BUMP in the high school parking lot. Man have the times changed, so many smaller unknown brands making quality gear now!
Same. I had 3-12"JL-W6s in a Nissan 300zx with a 1500w precision power amp that was like 3 ft long(maybe 2.5ft)That was still by far the hardest hitting system I've had. I'm 42 and it was Kicker, Orion, Alpine, Kenwood. Pioneer etc.... If someone had a "Down4sound" and "American bass subs." Back then I'd probably laugh. Not anymore.. I Just found a nice 500.1 kenwood amp with a kicker comp R in a kicker box at a pawn shop so I bought it and its decent but it brought back the basshead in me so now I'm doing research and I've found that while those are still good, they aren't the way to go now. It's D4S, Audiopipe, Deaf bonce, American Bass, Sundown etc and the price points are WAY better now
I have one, a 4 channel. Dates back to 1996-1998 if I'm recalling correctly. Those Jensens, and this amp in the video have a very similar shaped heatsinks to the big dog USAmps of the time
This amp is really beautiful in person. Camera and video does it no justice. This amp made me realize my set up didn't have great signal going to my amp. After fixing everything this amp pushes my sundown Sa v2 10 nicely. D4s has great customer service helping me out when my bass knob wasn't reading temp. I am really happy with everything.
JP with all his industry influence would be nuts to put his actual name on anything that doesn't make rated power. I trusted it would and glad it did. Wanna kill your brand? Put your actual god given name on something that doesn't make rated power. Great work Big D.

❌ 🔥hay _ BigD👈 I Know you are a fan of ...USamps Wondering if you’d dyno the RE sa3000.1 -1.7k amp I have one it’s the most beautiful amp inside and out next to oldschool PPi art series water coolers💦 , but no one has dyno’d it ,it’s like _RE/USamps don’t promote ,or market their SQ stuff well please check out the pics of the big Amp inside out just gorgeous hard to find gut shot but when you do just sick,would make zapco Ap’s jealous‼️
@@murrayshekelberg9754 no reliability issues at all, you can check the temperature of the amp from the bass remote. Haven’t ever seen it over 110° even on hot days and either the fan is very quiet or it doesn’t need to kick on because I’ve never heard it. If I had one thig I don’t like it would be how bright the bass remote is, pretty sure bigD mentioned that in the video.

It’s almost like there was youtube in the 90’s from looking at the amp. Add the 4 channel version and you have a great set up for the Big D hot rod . Awesome value to boot.
Amp Efficiency is a two edge sword! The lower the switching frequency the more efficient the amp will be, but with low switching frequency comes lowered sound quality and dampening.
This is what all manufacturers can take a lesson on. These will sell all day because of results like this. Bravo down4sound. Making a decent product at a decent price
@@wal I see a lot of complaints about overseas manufacturering, but I think in reality the auto manufacturers killed off American made car audio than anything. Back in the days we could slap any old din or dual din receiver in the dash and the sky was the limit. Now days cars are super vehicle specific and it takes a lot more custom work to get a stereo in your new ride. Cheap manufacturing definitely has a lot to do with it now, but let's face it, the car stereo world isn't as broad as it once was
@@sikrandall83 then how can you say the car stereo world isn't as broad as it once was? I don't get it. There's way more people in it now than there ever has been

And since I am also a big dummy, I forgot to mention the amp. The color is beautiful, the pixie glass bottom is awesome, and I would have to agree that’s the best bass remote I’ve ever seen! Thanks again Big D!
Question big d?! The fuse rating is 120 on this amp per there website how is it your test was drawing 170-180 on the 1 ohm test? Do I need a bigger fuse than recommended?
Great video!! I am really digging that color and digging the performance even more haha. I'm really thinking of turning in my Cerwin Vega amp I just got to buy this beautiful beast
Again thanks for this video. I'm about to get this amp and a whole bunch of equipment from down4sound soon. Going to order in a couple days. Glad I didn't get them months ago because I never would have looked at this.
Nice amp love that cool blue color almost the same color as my dads Buick Encore. The amp did very good and that is one of the best factory bass knobs I've ever seen!!!
Just wanted to add my opinion but the bass knob being plastic is actually better than it being metal. I used to run a 5 channel audio control amp with built in DSP. Costs me 1500 bucks Canadian and the remote port died because I have soft cloth seats in my Kia Spectra and one day I generated a bunch of static and my knee bumped the knob I mounted to my center console and boom no more knob. So imo being made of plastic is actually better for reliability.

@@Rottenbelly707 Sweet. Just got mine running last night and all seems great so far. That bass knob really is bright but I have some window tint samples on the way to fix it. The clip light seems like a real game changer for me.
Just ordered a k9 12. Thinking about the jp8 to power it. I know everyone hates on the k9. But I appreciate your truly unbiased opinion on it. I got into it with dudeman from EMF. He says they have a better sub for 120$ I'm eventually going to get it also and do a head to head video.
Old school feel for sure with the color. JP might need to rethink the pricing!! Underrated for sure! Good job JP. I think they listened to about every one of your videos D to make an amp you'd love!!
Hilarious, I just saw this today, I know Price was dyno'ing his other amps, but didn't see him dyno this. Here come Big D with the "Just thought u should know..."
Great video as always.... have you done two amps strapped together? If not would like to see if there is any loss of watts or is exactly double the power. Thanks
The Soundqubed s-1250 I was using crapped out on me today. I was thinking about the Orion XTR 1500.1 to replace it but I remembered how awesome this D4S amp looks and how great it performed in this dyno test....AND that sick AF bass knob... Sold! Looking forward to getting my bump back with this blue beauty!!!
@@1Pueblito It did OK. The bass knob it came with was defective and SQ didnt want to help me out with it. It also only survived about a year and a half. I won't buy more SQ gear.
The best cheaper amp under $200 that I have “EVER” purchased. My favorite amp will always be my JL Audio Slash 500/1 for it’s the most reliable “TRUE” power on a JL 10W3v3-2 and it seems as loud as the JP8 on a Skar 10” DDX DVC2 sub. I tried both subs in the factory Skar ported rhino coated box!#🔊❤️
I ordered one yesterday, it seems like a great deal and since I'm not shooting for a huge spl system I think it will be perfect. Now I have to look into the 4 channel and see if it will fit my needs
Think this is my next amplifier. Replacing my old Orion 500 watt mono amp. Which isn't bad by any means but this one sounds just that much better. I'm looking for a new sub as well 10 in. I'm probably going to be something from their line
nice dyno of this amp! exacly what i wanted, went out and bought one yesterday, will be running it at 2 ohms for 750 rms memhis mojo pro 12 , played in the 90,s with soundstream back when they were real! this amp is blue also, maybee thats why i bought it?! lol...love ur channel!
I love your channel! Because of your review, I purchased one on the 17th. I use my TV most of the time for TH-cam and can’t see links, how do I get you created for the purchase? I never would have bought it without your review.
Hows the longevity on these amps? I just bought an alpine 600 watt monoblock amp for 179. I paired it with 10" alpine type R. I went for sound quality over spl
I'd say all DC fans used in electronics are brushless. Don't think I've ever seen one with a brushed motor. But not giving it credit for that feature, it's really good that it has a fan. That will keep the inductors (coils) and other components on the board cool. Overall it seems like a well built amp so thumbs up from me. 👍
I hope other manufacturers (uh, hmm PPI) are noticing the non-generic heatsink. Even though it's a flat out copy of a US Amps design, it looks soooo much better than just a hunk of boring aluminum. Bring back creativity!
@Williston Audio Labs I'm super excited to see your test On the JP234. I wanna see the real power output of one of those bad boys. Super interested in seeing its 4ohm x 4 output. Thx a lot man. Your doing good work.
Big D!!! You rock. I have a question for all you bass heads. I am trying to decide on these three: Down4Sound JP8, Rockford Fosgate R2-500X1, and D'Amore E750.1 Peace out. Keep in mind, not just the most powerful, but the one with the cleanest sound.
I’ve owned the RF 500x1 and moved up to Skar RP800 , & then to the JP “Blue Beast” once it came out! Perfect for my daily driver with (1) 10” Skar DDX! DVC2 running at 1 ohm. #🔊❤️@Kelvinbellrose
5 mins left in the video as I type this, but I wish it was smaller in height. Also do they make a 4ch/6ch in the blue? That looks to match my trucks color pretty well.
? is on everyone's mind is does this thing sound good? are we up there on PPI ALPINE OR FOCAL level SQ???????? anyone bought this amp and pleased with the sound it makes?
What are the chances of getting a blue JP234? I am ordering two JP8's as we speak. Not that it matters, but it be in a highly visible car. ECA, Our! Word
Very cool amp has that old school look I'm a fan of visible internals on amps. If you come across a soundstream txp1.12000D I'd love to see a dyno run on that one 🙂

@@wal PLease do the blaupunkt amp4000d 4000 watt amp.... It's the biggest one it claims 2800 rms and it has 4 40 amp fuses... Best part it's 109 dollars on Amazon!
Just put mine in the car. Pushing 3 mojo 6.5 subs ,hit a 140.7. Gained 1 spl compared to the previous pioneer 8601 amp.
Are you still using it? Wondering about long term reliability.
@@murrayshekelberg9754 yes. Still going strong!
@@Rottenbelly707 Sweet. Just got mine running last night and all seems great so far. That bass knob really is bright but I have some window tint samples on the way to fix it. The clip light seems like a real game changer for me.
After USPS drama, mine will be here in a few hours, can't wait to get it hooked up!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
👌😬👍
Beautiful amp. I love the bass knob
These amps are impressive im curious about the 4 channel i just purchased 1 waiting for it to arrive im excited!
Been thinking about ordering one of the JP 4 channels myself!
Just ordered one beautiful amp , that preforms 💯
Just ordered a k9 12. Thinking about the jp8 to power it. I know everyone hates on the k9. But I appreciate your truly unbiased opinion on it. I got into it with dudeman from EMF. He says they have a better sub for 120$ I'm eventually going to get it also and do a head to head video.
Always Great Content and Good job on helping with Choice on what's the best Amp out there that give you the best for your money and Sound 👏👏👏👏
Great vid! I don't need an amp (in fact have more amps than I can already use) and you really make me want to buy one of these...
If you saw it in person, you’d want it even more. It’s gorgeous
@@wal You're killin' me smalls!
Old school feel for sure with the color. JP might need to rethink the pricing!! Underrated for sure! Good job JP. I think they listened to about every one of your videos D to make an amp you'd love!!
Nice to see sound man got a "shoutout" lol
Doesn’t matter what you did, Doug
Big D, does this Amp come in any other colors ????
What is the difference between JP8 and JP8 V 1.5?
Hilarious, I just saw this today, I know Price was dyno'ing his other amps, but didn't see him dyno this. Here come Big D with the "Just thought u should know..."
Great video as always.... have you done two amps strapped together? If not would like to see if there is any loss of watts or is exactly double the power. Thanks
I’ll try to get another and try linking them
Love this amp got it on 2 kicker comp Q 12s pushing them pretty good.
Are you still using it? Satisfied?
what changes did the make in the 1.5 version?
The Soundqubed s-1250 I was using crapped out on me today. I was thinking about the Orion XTR 1500.1 to replace it but I remembered how awesome this D4S amp looks and how great it performed in this dyno test....AND that sick AF bass knob... Sold! Looking forward to getting my bump back with this blue beauty!!!
How did you like the Soundqubed amp?
@@1Pueblito It did OK. The bass knob it came with was defective and SQ didnt want to help me out with it. It also only survived about a year and a half. I won't buy more SQ gear.
The best cheaper amp under $200 that I have “EVER” purchased. My favorite amp will always be my JL Audio Slash 500/1 for it’s the most reliable “TRUE” power on a JL 10W3v3-2 and it seems as loud as the JP8 on a Skar 10” DDX DVC2 sub. I tried both subs in the factory Skar ported rhino coated box!#🔊❤️
I ordered one yesterday, it seems like a great deal and since I'm not shooting for a huge spl system I think it will be perfect. Now I have to look into the 4 channel and see if it will fit my needs
Think this is my next amplifier. Replacing my old Orion 500 watt mono amp. Which isn't bad by any means but this one sounds just that much better. I'm looking for a new sub as well 10 in. I'm probably going to be something from their line
👌😬👍
Will there be other blue anodized JP amps to match with it? Great review, as always, and it is super cool that JP has turned his hobby into a career!
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see
nice dyno of this amp! exacly what i wanted, went out and bought one yesterday, will be running it at 2 ohms for 750 rms memhis mojo pro 12 , played in the 90,s with soundstream back when they were real! this amp is blue also, maybee thats why i bought it?! lol...love ur channel!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love your channel!
Because of your review, I purchased one on the 17th. I use my TV most of the time for TH-cam and can’t see links, how do I get you created for the purchase? I never would have bought it without your review.
Use is.gd/D4Samps
@@wal I sent them an email about my order number. Hope you get your nickel ;-) you got me back into car audio after 25 years off!
I’m not trying to be ugly but you are real critical about amplifiers like this one that are well built. Do you have a amplifier that you develop?
I mean that’s what his channel is for helps the brands better themselves
Thanks Big D, another solid video. Wish I could get one but I just purchased a JP 23 and can’t justify it to the wifey....solid stuff either way.
I ordered it today thanks for your videos
👌😬👍
Great video Big D. Gonna have to snag me one of these.
Have a build next week with a D'amore engineering amplifier, the new budget line definitely excited to get it in my hands.😉
Hows the longevity on these amps? I just bought an alpine 600 watt monoblock amp for 179. I paired it with 10" alpine type R. I went for sound quality over spl
I'd say all DC fans used in electronics are brushless. Don't think I've ever seen one with a brushed motor.
But not giving it credit for that feature, it's really good that it has a fan. That will keep the inductors (coils) and other components on the board cool.
Overall it seems like a well built amp so thumbs up from me. 👍
Definitely has a US Amps feel to it. Good looking 👌
👌😬👍
I hope other manufacturers (uh, hmm PPI) are noticing the non-generic heatsink. Even though it's a flat out copy of a US Amps design, it looks soooo much better than just a hunk of boring aluminum. Bring back creativity!
Wait, that one amp was pushing those 4 woofers like that 😮
That is one slick looking amp
They killed it with the finish
@Williston Audio Labs I'm super excited to see your test On the JP234. I wanna see the real power output of one of those bad boys. Super interested in seeing its 4ohm x 4 output. Thx a lot man. Your doing good work.
It does rated plus some 👍
@@wal Thx Bud
Big D!!! You rock. I have a question for all you bass heads. I am trying to decide on these three: Down4Sound JP8, Rockford Fosgate R2-500X1, and D'Amore E750.1
Peace out. Keep in mind, not just the most powerful, but the one with the cleanest sound.
I’ve owned the RF 500x1 and moved up to Skar RP800 , & then to the JP “Blue Beast” once it came out! Perfect for my daily driver with (1) 10” Skar DDX! DVC2 running at 1 ohm. #🔊❤️@Kelvinbellrose
That bass knob is sweet
One of the best if not THE best!
+1500w damn! Love the old school blue 👍👍
Damn wish I would have seen this sooner before I got my last amp >
I had an old Jensen amp that color back in the late 80's
5 mins left in the video as I type this, but I wish it was smaller in height. Also do they make a 4ch/6ch in the blue? That looks to match my trucks color pretty well.
? is on everyone's mind is does this thing sound good? are we up there on PPI ALPINE OR FOCAL level SQ???????? anyone bought this amp and pleased with the sound it makes?
I swear the case on this amp looks like the old school Jensen amps. That's a good thing 🙃😉
Just ordered one and wanna see what this beast has
What are the chances of getting a blue JP234? I am ordering two JP8's as we speak. Not that it matters, but it be in a highly visible car. ECA, Our! Word
Very cool amp has that old school look I'm a fan of visible internals on amps.
If you come across a soundstream txp1.12000D I'd love to see a dyno run on that one 🙂
Designed in Fla☀️(& yes saw it vegas also), Im gonna pick one of these up because of the blue,& excellent dyno results

These JP amps look pretty nice BigDWiz!
