I bought this new from Amazon back in 2019 for $135. It was bench tested briefly after I got it and has sat in the box until yesterday. Swapped out a old punch 40 pushing my entry level focal components in the Miata. Bridged the B channel for JL 8” Microsub that sits in the passenger footwell as the trunk barely allows the bass to come through and rattles far too much. Sounds good but almost think the old school punch 40 sounded more rich and clear. This amp sounds kinda flat is the best way to describe it.
bro your quality and knowledge of your videos has skyrocketed. I used to think you guys were a joke several years ago with some questionable videos but everything is spot on now with some legit testing equipment too. Amazing job. you earned a sub.
I picked up one of these 5 weeks ago and just finished putting it in and the damn thing is pretty Solid. I cannot even pull up one con besides it gets warm(not hot) under my seat. The damn thing is solid and is currently powering my kenwood Excelon system(6 speaker 2 tweeter). When you install it incorrectly though it will beep though which is annoying but helpful.
Current draw looks to be around 6 amps. That is just this amp. Assume around 10-12 peak amps for your setup. Typical car alternator 80Amp at 2k+ engine rpm

Trust me This amplifier is a steel for it's price. Especially if u just using it for highs and mids. This thing can make any speakers loud and crisp 🔊 Just make sure you adjust your gains properly because they will blow any low wattage speakers. So please do not buy this using factory speakers📢 They won't hold the amps power
So can this be used to power a set of front components(4 ohm) and the other 2 channels to power small 2 ohm sub? Or will it only do 4 ohm bridged? I'm contemplating this amp with the Pioneer D-series 6x9 components for the front and the small 8" Pioneer loaded sub box (TS-A2000LB), which is a 2 ohm sub. Just not clear if it can do 2 ohm in bridged mode or not?
The spec sheet doesn't list this, and so a best guess would be no 2ohm bridged With that said, you could buy two dual voice coil subs and wire them in parallel at 4 ohm - 8 ohm / 2 = 4
I'm thinking of pairing this with pinoeer mvh2400nex I hope it's a great upgrade. I just bought 4 skar audio 150 watts rms each speakers so 100 to each is fine right ? Little under full power
Pioneer won’t respond …. do You know if this Amp, paired with Pio DMH2660NEX HU should have Differential Input interconnects, or (other “coax”) type ? I’d really Appreciate knowing …
Your testing was very confusing. 1 channel driven 2 channel driven. But your clearly only scoping one channel even when your driving 2 channels. I pretty much got what i needed so thank you for this test as i received this model instead of the older 8604 which i ordered from walmart for 145$. Im pretty sure the older model puts out more power but ill have to look at the bench test from another channel.
I looked up the 8604 dyno test and its pretty much the same amp with a different outer case. Maybe an extra couple watts at 2 ohm but the other test on budget gem or budget bust channel was in bridged mode, theirs probably some power loss from that. Otherwise you get and extra 12.5 watts per channel with this over the 8604.
I had my heart set on the Fosgate Punch 400x4 but now I'm not so sure. I especially like the idea of the compact Fosgate, and it puts out similar power to this Pioneer but doesn't require RCA's for speaker level. Anyone care to compare this Pioneer to the regular Punch 400 or the PBR400X4D? I'll be running either Focal ISU series 6x9 component front, 6.5 coaxial rear, or Infinity Kappa same size, can't decide on that either and no shop is open to hear the difference. The Kappas have 2.5ohm resistance which means I'll get to put over 100W into each channel with either the Pioneer or Fosgate, the Focals are 4ohm so about 70watts from the fosgate and 100w from Pioneer.

This Amp is a 4 channel 100 watt rms. I have 4 1675v2 speaker rated at 55 watt rms and want to add 2 pioneer 6900 pro rated at 100 watt each to that Amp. Can this be done without affecting performance?
How do you get 6.5 and 6x9 speakers to different ohm loads like 2 ohms on a 4 channel amp or does the speaker have to come in that specific ohm to get the power
Speakers are stuck at whatever ohms they're made with, the only way around it is to have two speakers and wire them in parallel (if you don't know what that means, its easy to find on google). So two 4 ohm speakers wired up to the amp will be 2 ohms. Two 2 ohm speakers will be 1 ohm. Another way to get the power of 2 ohms with a 4 ohm speaker is to bridge the channels of the amp, but that reduces a 4 channel amp into a 2 channel amp.
I read some reviews that supposedly it creates hissing noise is it true? I would appreciate your response I'm thinking of buying this amp but need your opinion first
I have got a question, this amplifier can handle high input, but it has only got RCA inputs, and the negatives are usually common, how can you connect a high input, where you cannot use a common negative???
The High input and RCA's give you multiple options to connect to a head unit. The RCA's are to be used if your stereo has RCA pre-amp ouputs, or if you're using a line output converter. The high level input is to connect the amplifier directly to the speaker level outputs of the wiring harness on your head unit
Hello, i need help in wiring my Pioneer TS S20 (8 ohms) tweeters and my Pioneer 4 ohms each speakers...If i parallel both it will result in approx 2 Ohms? Can someone help me on the way that i should hook these two to my 8704 amp please? Should i hook it into bridged or not? Because the TS S20 is 200w peak each and my speakers are 450w peak each. Thank you.
Aprox 5 to six ohms!!! Run them parallel to each bridged channel or each speaker with it's own channel if you have a separate sub amp! Me! Channel 1/2 for highs and 3/4 for a single sub tube!
Two SVC 2 ohm woofers cannot be wired to 2 ohm. Only 1 ohm or 4 ohm. Use the GM-D8701 or GM-D9701 instead: www.qualitymobilevideo.com/gm-d8701.html www.qualitymobilevideo.com/gm-d9701.html

Yes if you bridge two channels (making it a 3 channel amp) and put the sub on that then on each of the other two channel you can connect two woofers in parallel, if they are at least 2 ohm each.
@@raydemarco427 Thats exactly why I asked the question mate. It made no sense that the rms output was higher at 2ohms than at 1ohm. And while generally speaking what you replied is correct its not always the case. Many JL amps and the Taramps smart 3k do same output all all ohm loads within a given range. And some of the old school tube amplifiers actually produced more power at their rated ohm load and less power as the ohm load deviated from it. Not sure what you mean by "never heard of 1 ohm operation" ? Are you talking about impedance rise? At box tuning assuming ported enclosure the amp will see very close to its nominal load, so yes 1 ohm operation indeed.

A very big, expensive inverter. Or a generator. And you end up paying fsr too much, for rather poor audio quality for in-home use. A car is in truth a really bad, challenging and noisy environment for audio, so sub-par audio quality is often masked by that. This amplifier packs a serious punch for its price, but its sound quality leaves s good bit to be desired. And that's in a car. You're gonna be way better off buying a 2nd hand home theater amp/receiver. Much better sound and suitable functionality for the use, and probably significantly cheaper too. If the intent is to drive subs, a 2-250W 10" or 12" (depending on room size) decent quality _active_ suvwoofer, is gonna get you what a 1000W 12" will struggle to do in a car. Cerwin-Vega has some very decent 10" and 12" active home theater subwoofers, that are affordable, sound great and cosmetically anonymous. Ypu csn probably get one in good condition, for what it cost in materials to build just a good enclosure. As the built-in amplifiers for active speakers are bullt specifically for that cabinet, that speaker element etc - they are vastly more power efficient than mish-mash.
@@pr0xZen Thats just not true. Doesnt take much tweaking to get a car amplifier working with a cheap 12v transformer.

Ypu csn probably get one in good condition, for what it cost in materials to build just a good enclosure. As the built-in amplifiers for active speakers are bullt specifically for that cabinet, that speaker element etc - they are vastly more power efficient than mish-mash.
@@pr0xZen Thats just not true. Doesnt take much tweaking to get a car amplifier working with a cheap 12v transformer. I used to have a car amplifier for home use and some electronics guy tweaked it for me for about $20 at the time, then I used some random 12v transformer that I already had.Used it for years with no issues, and resold it easy
@@pr0xZen Moron. How do you think the units are demoed in stores.
Still rocking your Kenwood setup?
Yup! Might upgrade this year :)
Does the D8704 run clear for mids/highs? Some people say it's great and others that it is just OK and some hear a slight hiss from it.
Anyone have some input?
hi ya.. know this is a 5 month old question but anyone have an anwser to this?... im looking at amps and want to know if this is alright or over priced rubbish its $599NZD here
Is the sound quality on par with class AB amplifiers? like for example sony xm-gs4
yes
this amp gets really hot
How many minutes / songs does before it goes hot
About 20km you need another groud wire in battery and one fan
@@originlsamwash9363 This amp doesn't get hot at all.....maybe this dude is using like trash power and ground wires.
not a bad price either.
say hello to your mother for me!
After she gets back from your grandmothers!

I love it😁
This amp can used in 4 mid and 4 tweeters thanks
Yes
Times you said amplifier = a lot
One channel noice problem
worthless bench test. nobody uses a 4 channel amp using only 1 channel, you need to test it with all channels driven
or do you think you test 1 channel and then the other channels do the same? thats not how amps work. the older version has alot more power then this one
Noice problem
ayee i need that reply
ayyy
