I recently did a Jensen amp set up in my 99 trans am, have the Jensen 4 channel bridged running skar audio 6.5 midrange and 1inch tweeter and the Jensen mono amp pushing a skar SDR-8 wired at 1ohm in a custom ported box tuned to 30hz. These amps are pretty impressive especially when it comes to cost, they are loud and sound good.
You are hearing noise because you are supposed to run your rca wires on the opposite side from your power wires. The alternator is what you are getting feedback from
I’m running 2 kicker L7 10” 600 rms apiece and I’m blown away by the power that the little Jensen puts to them. I’m gonna put another one in. That they each have their own and both the amp and subs can reach their full potential. For a 100$. Awesome.
I'm glad you straightened that out on ported and non ported boxes, I have 210 MTX Thunder 6000 that run in a sealed non ported box and they slap my car all over the place
I just installed and returned a XDA94RB because even without the engine running, the amp had a Whine in each speaker. When I turned on the engine, it got REALLY bad. And I know it was the Jensen Amp because I have another pioneer amp that I am using and it had NO noise whatsoever. And the Jensen was using the same battery feed and the same ground as the pioneer amp. yet, only the Jensen is acting up. And its SO SAD because I really Liked that little amp, Lots of Power, and a Built in EQ and Class D and bridgable and an APP that allows for customizations. What a PITTY! it made an old fashion humming noise even with the engine OFF.. Something else, when I turned the key on, It made a noise coming through the speakers... and when I turned the key off, the made a thud/popping noise.. So it went back to walmart and FAST
I love that amp. And that Kenwood KFC-w120DVC Concert Series Sub 50oz double stack magnet 250w RMS 250w & Peak 1000w 12" is one of my favorite subs as well. If you put that Sub in an old school MTX Single Reflex Bandpass Box with that at 1200w Jensen amp ran at 2 ohm's & you change the 2 25a fuses for 2 40a fuses= It's Heavenly & it pounds Perfectly. :)
A friend of mine gave me one of these the other day. I have a 8in sundown u series in a custom ported box tuned to 35hz and recently bought the 2500 power acoustic a week ago. Tomorrow Jensen going to hook up the Jensen if it sounds better Ima just take the other back to Walmart.
Jensen was bought out by "Dual" a little over a year ago, so the "guts" of the amps are the Dual design and components now. Dual is a German company (amps still made in China), and I always thought the "King" of budget amp manufacturers always making their rated power and sounded pretty good too. Low distortion/ with high "S/N dB number" in the 90's. But, they wanted the Jensen name for marketing purposes and use the Jensen cover for the amps. So what I am saying the Jensen amps of today should be even better than 3 years ago. Dual amps are now under the Jensen brand name. And yes worthy of your $$, even from Wally World.
I have one on 2 12” kickers 500rms each wired at 2ohm probably only getting 400 to 450 rms to both subs so way under powered but it really sounds good had it for about 2 years no problems Now I plan to do 4 Skar SDR18D2 4 Skar FSX65 4 Skar VX175-ST 4 Jensen XDA91RB 2 Jensen XDA94RB
You get car noise for multiple reasons. First always run your rca's on opposite side of car from power wires, and speaker wires. ( run the rca's ) by them selves and use a ground loop isolater . Doing this I only had a problem when I had to clean up all my connections. FYI properly matched amp and speakers sealed boxes are better than ported plus the make your speakers Last longer
What do you mean Jensen is a well known name brand not a off brand Jensen been out for almost 90 years we use to run Jensen back in the 80s ok Walmart sells kicker speakers does that mean kicker Is a Walmart brand same as pioneer just saying all these brands are well known brand name stuff just because Walmart sells it doesn't automatically mean it's a off brand Walmart brand need to do research before saying it's a Walmart brand
Actually, sealed enclosures have the best fidelity and quality, whereas ported and band pass enclosures gives you better sound output per watt at a slight expense of clean bass.
My settings return to default when the vehicle powers off. The app also goes back to default settings when disconnected. The amp settings should save where I put them until I open the app, and the app should update to the amp last settings. Total PITA. Maybe mines a gack.
Bet you ya ran the RCA cable next to the power wire and it will pick up that noise almost every time. Run the patch cord as far away from the remote and power wire as possible preferably on one side and the power on the other side of the car
Bro for the last year i have run the jensen amps the xda91rb and the xda92rb and yes i absolutely agree im ru ning infinity refrence 6in and 4 scosh 6x9s and on the low side 2 kicker comp R 12s in a ported box of my own building and maan it gets to slappin
I'm Running that 2,500 watt amp with the power acousitk gothic 12 for two years now. I have changed cars 5 times now still sounds the same as the day i bought it , fyi the dude from Walmart probably had the gain and the low pass to high and that's why it burnt up. Those amps don't like it when its not set properly.
That Power ackoustic makes power, I would've went with it, I've had one for a year now and it still works great, comes with a bass know and it's a mono block
I've had bad luck with those power acoustik amps...i bought 2 of those 2,500 max amps from Walmart and i fried both within a month of each other, then i went with the jensen amp shown in this video, and it's been running a year and a half with no issues
Yeah bro, you should have definitely went with the rzr1 2500d, i had it on a RF T1, now pushing 2 JLw3v2's, and theyre pushing hard. I would guess its right around 900 rms with the gain about 3/4 and bass boost a hair below half.
I have mine hooked up to three 10s at 1 ohm and it absolutely pounds. The Bluetooth is a little silly but the power for a 100$ is unreal. I had it crank to kill mode for about 40 min at 1 ohm and the amp didn’t even get warm!!!!!!
Check it... 2- 4 ohm p1 Rockfords ran in parallel to 2 ohms then one DVC 10” Mb quart ran to 2 ohm, wired all three in parallel gives me 1.4 ohms on my multimeter. Sounds about like they are all getting 800rms total. It pounds extremely hard.
you probably dont care but if you're stoned like me atm you can watch all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last few months =)
Can someone help.me out here I bought a jensen 1200 watt and I cannot get no bass out of my sub whatsoever...am.not sure if I am not doing the blue tooth thing correctly
Bro you're plain and simple running your power and RCA's to close together either down the side of the car or too close together somewhere that's why you're getting the whine
Right! The power goes down one side and the rca's down the other. If he was able to get rid of that alternator whine he would've, because he could've ground the amps rca's to see if it would go away
I'm going to buy two skar evl 6.5 subwoofers everybody say they sounds good so i want two of them to go along with the 4 speakers inside so 6 speakers would sound great to me in my opinion
That is a mono amp. It does have 2 speaker output. Theres no way to bridge it. Its output wont change. Whats the airspace on the box? Looks small to be ported.itll work ok,but your leaving a lot on the table. Jensen has been around for many years. Their stuff isnt top end but it is decent low priced stuff
I hate that sound my uncle had that same noise every time he touch the gas i used to hate that so we took the amp outta his car and that noise was eliminated.
That is your alternator, that is the sound of the frequency of the generator. That is why your need to buy that frequency filter, connected at the power source not RCA but the radio and Amp. It is called ferrite filter core.
Pre drilling the holes on those cheap boxes big big no no!! If you ever pull that woofer for any reason those holes will never tighten again wouldn't be surprised if they strip from the start
No its horrible. Cant even configure the EQ. In the app as soon as it syncs to your phine the option blacks out. A basic FN function doesnt even FN work. Not to me rion it barely pushes a single 10' kicker. This amp is trash. Do NOT buy it.
😬😬😬Team ported or Team sealed LETS GOOOOO..I'm Team sealed bass hits and don't miss and lows drop more accurate and is needed more power while ported will indeed make your bass hit harder and use less power but it hits and miss only bass knowledgest (if thats even an word🤣) know thisand as you see in this video it hits and miss and only moves to the beat while sealed reflexes and continuesly gives you bass due to the speaker and specific box reactions to the air inside to give your lows a stronger never ending bass 🔊 😉 thank me later guys

You should have hooked up the new amp to the two speakers that was in the old box to really compare
I put the 600 watt Jensen In my sisters car and paired it with the Jensen J12W. I have it bridged and it sounds amazing for what it all cost.
Jensen was bought out by "Dual" a little over a year ago, so the "guts" of the amps are the Dual design and components now.

They made those terminator boxes a lot better than I expected, those setups were stupid cheap a couple years ago
I have one on 2 12” kickers 500rms each wired at 2ohm probably only getting 400 to 450 rms to both subs so way under powered but it really sounds good had it for about 2 years no problems
Now I plan to do
4 Skar SDR18D2
4 Skar FSX65
4 Skar VX175-ST
4 Jensen XDA91RB
2 Jensen XDA94RB
Jensen used to be good. Glad to see them bring it back.

Why didn't you ground the rca from amp? That mtx is a thousand times better then Jensen, from sound quality to performance
Actually, sealed enclosures have the best fidelity and quality, whereas ported and band pass enclosures gives you better sound output per watt at a slight expense of clean bass.
My settings return to default when the vehicle powers off.

That amp is a hidden gem
You should hook up both the subs the amp will push out more amps at a lower ohm
If you're using a drill you should only get it close to the end of where the screw is tight and do the actual last few turns by hand
Just got this amp and it has so much distortion I am not sure how to fix it
Could i run a skar 10 inch 600rms subwoofer to this at 1 ohm? With out any problems?
Jenson has always put out a excellent product. Also if you have your rca running next to the battery cable it will pick up engine noise.
Thats the noise that the Jetsons car made lol
I have a deaf bonce 12" sub n a ported single box and it sounds good
Yeah bro, you should have definitely went with the rzr1 2500d, i had it on a RF T1, now pushing 2 JLw3v2's, and theyre pushing hard. I would guess its right around 900 rms with the gain about 3/4 and bass boost a hair below half.
You're gonna blow them nice subs man. The rzr is 700 rms on the dyno and you should never use anything related to increasing bass boost
@@detonationpyrotechnics4156 agree....bass boost settings are sub murderers
I have mine hooked up to three 10s at 1 ohm and it absolutely pounds. The Bluetooth is a little silly but the power for a 100$ is unreal. I had it crank to kill mode for about 40 min at 1 ohm and the amp didn’t even get warm!!!!!!
1 ohm with 3 subs, how?
Check it... 2- 4 ohm p1 Rockfords ran in parallel to 2 ohms then one DVC 10” Mb quart ran to 2 ohm, wired all three in parallel gives me 1.4 ohms on my multimeter. Sounds about like they are all getting 800rms total. It pounds extremely hard.
New update. I have the amp on 1ohm to 1-15” P3 and to 2-10” p1’s. Good lord. It’s loud
The amp is rated 600 rms at 1 ohm but pulls 760 rms on the Dyno!
Budget gems or bust dyno'd that amp.
It did 821 watts at 1ohm dynamic burst
you probably dont care but if you're stoned like me atm you can watch all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last few months =)
@Huxley Kendrick yea, have been watching on Instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Are those urinal cakes in your front vents?
Why did you downgrade your setup
How much u want for mtx amplifier
That interference could be improper tuning or an rca bunched up too much
That old mtx amp does 2k RMS it's way more powerful than that Jensen amp I'd keep that mtx have it freshened up those amps go for 300 used
Can someone help.me out here I bought a jensen 1200 watt and I cannot get no bass out of my sub whatsoever...am.not sure if I am not doing the blue tooth thing correctly

How Do I get the most wattage out the DSP 1200 watt amp
I just bought a sundown audio 2000 watt amp it’s a small boi for how much power it puts out lol
I'm going to buy two skar evl 6.5 subwoofers everybody say they sounds good so i want two of them to go along with the 4 speakers inside so 6 speakers would sound great to me in my opinion
I've heard good things about skar i might try it out soon
@@cleperform5722 I'm changing my speakers to this brand
Move ur wires might get rid of the noise
How you get an 1200w for 98$ and I got an 1000w for 125$
Do you still have the mtx amp?
What you want for the old amp
I bought one of these amps and can't figure out how to get more bass. The app they tell you to download is hard to Navigate. Thanks
Gotta make sure its on the sub output on the RCA on the radio in had the same issue
I just got a universal bass nob it fixed the problem for me
I bought a universal knob as well hits hard
I got the 600 watt for free and I legit still use it.
That 600 works good with the Jensen sub
same using it on my old type r 10 inch sub
Want song was that?
That is a mono amp.
It does have 2 speaker output.
Theres no way to bridge it.
Its output wont change.
Whats the airspace on the box? Looks small to be ported.itll work ok,but your leaving a lot on the table.
Jensen has been around for many years. Their stuff isnt top end but it is decent low priced stuff
I hate that sound my uncle had that same noise every time he touch the gas i used to hate that so we took the amp outta his car and that noise was eliminated.

Yea lol

You bridged a mono amp 🤔👍
Pre drilling the holes on those cheap boxes big big no no!! If you ever pull that woofer for any reason those holes will never tighten again wouldn't be surprised if they strip from the start
I would love to take that MTX amplifier off of your hands if you still have it.
U should sell me ur old box ?
Not an amp issue...
Fix your wiring and you won't need to switch it all out
Yo can I buy that amp off u I have one of the og mtx thunder 8000 15s from 2001 and I’m pretty sure that’s one of the amps they mad fro the subs
I'm gonna hang on to it I have a whole set from that era
What did you set your gains at
I never seen gears like that on a car lol
Your wires are touching
You need better grounds.
Hey man I'd love to take that old MTX off your hands :)
Thats just the supercharger bro😂
That's what everyone said when they got a ride lol
No its horrible. Cant even configure the EQ. In the app as soon as it syncs to your phine the option blacks out. A basic FN function doesnt even FN work. Not to me rion it barely pushes a single 10' kicker. This amp is trash. Do NOT buy it.

I have 1200 watts in my van and she slams for buying Walmart lol
What settings on the app ?
@@soloxb don't get as much as the 1000watt Amp for some odd reason
same I don't even use the amp settings i use the settings on my touchscreen stereo deck
That Razor was better than the jensen bro
Here is a dyno for that amp. th-cam.com/video/tNDImjMb1lE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks was a great dyno the guy that tested it was very surprised as I was lol
If it’s the blue tooth one throw it in the trash
Obviously you do not know anything about name brands because it has nothing to do with Walmart Jensen “is” a reputable name brand youngin
That amp sucks barly moves 2 l7 kickers
Think you need a 1500w rms amp for two L7, not a 600w rms amp
It’s a mono amp.........lol
You don’t know what your doing is y
