The connectors are Molex Micro-Fit 3.0. I made a set of longer shielded connectors instead of using the pigtail that came with my MM1004. It would be nice if these were available in pre-made longer lengths.
That 1005 has a lot of real world application. People like me that want to upgrade their 4 factory speakers and add a sub will love this amp. Plenty of power over the stock system.
Thank you for the review and constructive criticism! We’re working on upgrading caps but man it’s such a long wait for them. Overall for the price and what people are getting I think it’s an amazing option for our budget minded bassheads 😊
People seem to forget or not understand how much power 200 wstss actually is. We used to run entire subwoofer systems on 200 watts or less in the 80's and 90's. Crutchfield used to have an add that said "100 watts to your subwoofers is loud. 150 watts is louder. 200 is mind blowing" or something like that. It's been 30 years. Lol The point is, 200+ watts is plenty for the average person that just wants a little bump to fill in their low end. .
I absolutely agree. The market is polluted with high power claims and options, now relatively cheap. That 500-600watts will push 2 entry level 10s or 12s enough to rattle a vehicle.
I absolutely disagree. Subwoofers are less efficient nowadays. Back in those days, they had all paper cones and were much shorter excursion… what are you thinking?
Really appreciate the lower voltage tests. Many of these modern German cars with smart charging only run 13.6-13.8v at most situations even if they have 140a+ alts from the factory
Only thing I don't like is those bright blue voltage numbers that light up your interior at night. I'd have to dim it with a piece of window tint or something. But they are extremely nice looking though.
I think they dont mind an honest review because they know you will put the amp through the paces, and as long as the amp is doing the numbers or more, that’s all the advertising they need
That MM1005 is really nice for a 3 way system. 500 watts into a higher efficiency sub and the right box will flex a windshield. Channels 1 to 4 have decent power too. I used to have all out systems in my vehicles. Extra batteries, alternators, caps and all. Complete compact systems are where it’s at now.
@@matthewf1979Up until fairly recently I used to always drive with a windows down and the stereo cranked. Now that I'm a bit older, I prefer keeping the windows up and playing the music at a nice moderate level. 😂
I run a 5 channel in my daily. It's a kicker rated at 400 RMS on the sub channel. With an efficient 12 inch I score 132 db on the screen sealed at 36 Hz. That's all I need 😊
Im running my hole system on d4s mini maxx amplifiers and i absolutely love them! I transitioned from a "high end" brand name amp set up as I learned I had WAY OVERPAID, and I bought the mini maxx to test my theory of "more expensive does not mean better" as I learned of the manufacturing where-abouts of my "high end" equipment. Well these sound better. Yes they sound much better, are more efficient, and offer full range/bandpass filtering, and the list goes on. Well done down4sound. Well done.
As an owner of the MM1000, MM1004, and MM504 these are amazing amplifiers for the price!! Really just can’t beat the price. This 5ch easily should outperform my Rockford Fosgate P1000x5 also about a third of the price!!
Love that 5ch it sounded so good on elac and sub and the sub wasn’t all floppy and wishy washy as sometimes sounds on cheaper amps. Also that red finish is sick
I use your videos to decide what to buy. My budget is far below average. I like to know which companies push rated power, and which don't. Maybe I'll get there eventually, but right now D4S and Skar are the winners for bass on a budget.
D4S building a Legend one amp at a time. 20 years from now todays stereophiles will be talking about these in hushed reverence. Putting high quality gear out that gives you extra at that accessible price...that new and budget minded kids can get is way better than in the 90s-2000s when the good stuff was expensive. Now we can get the good stuff and grow it quickly
I think 5channels is the way to go when it comes to not spending a butt load of money. I ran a 5ch amp in my jeep running to an eq and my Nakamichi deck.
I’m obsessed with these mm amps!! I’m hoping to get some asap. Love that 5 channel, perfect for the Avalanche! 🎉 but the mm3000 used for a 2 ohm load at 2500 watts is an awesome setup! 🎉
@@travissapp4273 Voltage is adjustable. Clipping is super accurate due to the internal design. Temperature accuracy is unknown. The little temperature probe changes resistance based on temperature and has it's own window of tolerance. I'd imagine it's decently close. Also keep in mind that you don't have to be super accurate when it comes to temperature. You just need a rough idea if it's hot or too hot, etc...
Thats pronounced Done-Nellon, for those not familiar. Its in Marion county Florida. Thats clearly 100% from Jacob Scott, as that's where he resides. Great little small town with a small town feel.
Can’t mix up the positive and remote on that 3000KFD! Couldn’t resist 😂. They should have put RCAs on it though that pigtail on a single channel amp is tacky.
Jp spent the money to establish his amps and has a wide variety but all us hobbyist wish the companies would step up their repair service cause it is a pain to have to buy the same thing over when sometimes all it takes is a guy who can fix it
Amps have come a long ways since the old days😂. I remeber you were doing good if you paid $1.00/watt. Now at 3400 watts, thats roughly $0.10 cents/watt😊. Glad that amps are more cheaper and great quality also. Looks like a HOME RUN to me.
Just purchased the Mm504 and one of the pig tail rca's was faulty and would inly produce static and a bizzing aound. Sent it to their repair shop as a warranty defect. We will see what they say and hopefully send me aome new rca pig tail adapters.
On the stinger square positive speaker wire, grab some flush cutters, trim each corner at an angle, and the ferrules will slide completly over them:) ( or not, sorry, im just ocd😂) gr8 videos, as ALWAYS
I just need a solid 600x6. I love my jp77 but I’m locked into the 2k sub channel. It would be amazing to get a 600x6 or 1200x6 and the sub channel becomes a field of options.
I like the and prefer the JP amps and his innovation and design language, however seeing the ds18 5000 watt mini amp meade tested a week or so ago I think I would only get big amp when space or aesthetics was not an issue, even though the ds18 also is not a bad looking amp.
Apparently it’s been awhile since ive watched your channel. What happened to that sound cube box? Neighbors complain too much? Thanks for sharing this. Aloha
As always Big D, loved the video and info. I wanted to ask you a question about an amp that I'm curious about. Its the Hifonics BE35-2100.1D 35th Anniversary Edition. I was curious if you've done a dyno on it and if not, could you? The amp seems to be a lot better quality than normal and even has Tiffany style RCA's. Its a very heavy amp and would love to see the results if you wouldn't mind doing it. As always, thanks for the education.
Hey Big d, I have a question for you. If you get to it, thank you in advance. What do you think the maximum sustained temperature for the internals of a JP8? I've been doing research on it, and I really can't find a solid number. My amp is mounted in the trunk where the spare tire would be, it does have fans on it along with the fan that's in it, but in the summertime it gets kind of warm. Again thanks in advance, great video, really enjoy your content 👍
Most of the circuit board components can easily handle over 250° F. I'm thinking the lowest temperature sensitive component might be the large electrolytic capacitors. They should have a temperature rating printed on them. Usually they have a maximum temperature of 80 degrees C which is about 175 °F.
@@JasonWW2000 Thanks for the info! When I see the temperature on the bass knob get to 140° f, I usually turn the volume down a little bit let things cool.
@@Stoneman1971 Do you have a path for fresh air to get to it and for the hot air to get away? Recirculating the air in the trunk should be okay, you just don't want to mount the amp in a small covered area separate from the trunks air.
@@JasonWW2000 Yes, there is some airflow. The answer sitting where the spare tire used to be at. And then I made a new top floor for the trunk which is spaced up around the edges. There's also four 4-in computer style fans blowing on the amplifiers.
@@Stoneman1971Sounds good. Most amps have thermal protection circuits. If it detects the temperature getting too high it will either throttle back the amplifier or turn it off completely. Look and see what your amps have. That a way you'll know what to look out for.
Hahahahha nice.. me and my wife went to dunnellon high.. in 2007. Dang I miss the kp hole. .. anyways nice amp and good review as always. Might be checking out this brand.
What amplifier should i get for the defbounce Apocalypse Series AP-M67AC 600w. I want to power a pair Also I love that you started using wire ferrules it always bugged me
I noticed that when the Mm1005 amp was powered up, the protect light illuminated on the amp for a brief second, but didn’t illuminate on the bass remote. Is this normal?
Yes, it's normal. The amp is showing you that the light works, now if it stayed illuminated then there might be an issue but that wasn't the case. Hope this helps, cheers....
@@jdmintegradp I would have guessed if the amp protect light came on, so would the protect light on the bass remote, since they are linked together. No?
How’s the SQ with these D4S amps? In regards to SQ brands like Focal, JL, ETC. I’m looking to replace a kenwood xr5s that sounded incredible. I currently have a couple Taramps 440/4s and while they are clear and can get down, at the higher volumes they don’t keep up with the kenwood in SQ. They get louder but they mud a bit.
The Taramps are known for their high levels of distortion. I don't have any experience with the down for sound full range class D amps, but at the same time I've never heard anybody complain about their sound quality. Hopefully some more people will chime in.
@@JasonWW2000 hey hearing taramps is known for that is helpful enough in itself. I just fixed my car after a year down with 2 4 channel pioneers on Rockford mids/highs. I need to put one of my radios in it and listen for that type of distortion. Their S/N ratio is much lower than the kenwood, so it’ll be interesting where they stand in regards to the kenwood and taramps.
I don't see people running them in specifically-designed SQ systems. For an everyday upgrade, I suspect the 5-channel would sound good, and maybe even great to someone who likes to listen to loud music and isn't going for competitive SQ. People use the D4S big-wattage amps just because they want to create a tornado outside their car, regardless of what it sounds like, nothing more; and they can do it at a low price, with the exception of the massive electrical upgrades required. I equate D4S and Taramps to tires on a performance car. They are meant for a specific purpose and you'll need to replace them more often, that's why they are so cheap. Are they going to be around 30 years from now still performing like the Fosgate, PG, & JL? If I were looking to get a 5-channel for an SQ system, I'd look at JL, Arc Audio, Hertz, etc.
@@jp1087 oh okay, that’s a great perspective, very helpful. Before stumbling on this one I was keeping my eye for a JL or RF Power. I’m interested in arc but they don’t have the right power level, but I’m glad you reminded me as that may be a god fit for my other build lol. I honestly never checked hertz figured they wouldn’t have what I want, maybe I’ll be surprised
@@IAM_HCLooking at the specs on that Kenwood it's 80w x 4 and 350w to the sub. Are you powering 4 door speakers and a sub? Is it the door speaker power you want more of or the sub power?
The only number I didn't like on the 1000x5 is you peaked the amp pull at 97 amps to alternator/battery. A guy can wish that was 85 amps. That's closer to 70% of "most" alternator capacities. Damn good try tho D4S. Thumbs up from me.
For it to pull that much amperage you'd have to have all five channels wired down really low and then push all five channels to full power. That's never going to happen.
@JasonWW2000 most door speakers are 4 to 6 ohm most subs are dual 2 ohm your already there. And if parallel 2 6x9 and have a super tweeter your at 2.5 or 3 ohm
@JasonWW2000 he did 3 and 4 ohm load tests. Speakers rise and fall in resistance with use. So if you have a 3 ohm Speakers that dip to 2.25 ohm at peak it needs the 97 amps from the alternator. So you're already at the limit. Now if you had some of the 90s stuff that played at 90 or 91 dB sensitivity and was lighter and was set for 6 and 8 ohms. You would only need to run the amp at maybe 45 watts per channel so you only pull about 50 amps at the alternator.

I absolutely agree. The market is polluted with high power claims and options, now relatively cheap.
That 500-600watts will push 2 entry level 10s or 12s enough to rattle a vehicle.
Yep, I was there, great times. I have the tinnitus to prove it.
I absolutely disagree. Subwoofers are less efficient nowadays. Back in those days, they had all paper cones and were much shorter excursion… what are you thinking?
Member berries gotcha
I agree!!!!!!!!
Designed with purpose designed with passion thank you again for another review of two of the products i designed with the greatest team on earth. ❤❤🎉
Really appreciate the lower voltage tests. Many of these modern German cars with smart charging only run 13.6-13.8v at most situations even if they have 140a+ alts from the factory
I love all the colors D4S provides and the very nice bass knobs that look like amps!
Only thing I don't like is those bright blue voltage numbers that light up your interior at night.
I'd have to dim it with a piece of window tint or something.
But they are extremely nice looking though.
I think they dont mind an honest review because they know you will put the amp through the paces, and as long as the amp is doing the numbers or more, that’s all the advertising they need

Deal for sure!
Actually, I think that model Rockford is going to be a little beefier - power-wise. Overall, very similar.
The mm 3000 is a bad ass sub amp at 2 ohms with great efficiency , BEAST AMP
Keep doing your thing man. I believe you are the go-to guy for amp reviews in the car audio world.
Honestly that 3k is perfect for single cab trucks with little space. Now we can get a lot of power without sacrificing space.
Ty for lower voltage, running stock alt, upgraded battery, and during the summer running the AC I get 13.7 usually with my amps off.
As a lifepo4 user, I really do appreciate the "low" voltage tests
Love that 5ch it sounded so good on elac and sub and the sub wasn’t all floppy and wishy washy as sometimes sounds on cheaper amps. Also that red finish is sick

I wouldn't waste time,money, n effort for 100 watts.
id love to see more five channels tested
including the stinger and new hifonics units
Just as a suggestion. When you test amps that come with these type of bass knobs, test the accuracy of the knob as well.
Do you mean the accuracy of the voltmeter? These bass knobs have an adjustment screw so you can adjust it however you want.
@@JasonWW2000 Yes the accuracy of them. How accurately they read the voltage, temperature and clipping point.
@@travissapp4273 Voltage is adjustable.
Clipping is super accurate due to the internal design.
Temperature accuracy is unknown. The little temperature probe changes resistance based on temperature and has it's own window of tolerance. I'd imagine it's decently close.

agreed and this is all the upgrade a lot of people want or need
@@wal Yes 👍 Sir...
@@wal Yes 👍 Sir...
Those bass remotes are so awesome that they made Big D. I dont like those inputs, tho. They could have made those a better connection in my book.
It's one of the drawbacks to having a small amp. Unless they remove some of the crossover functions, you just can't fit it all on the amp
@wal oh I know, anymore it's just the overall designs of them.
Make the amp slightly bigger then
Pig tail rca not bad easily replaced if lost or broken.
Just purchased the Mm504 and one of the pig tail rca's was faulty and would inly produce static and a bizzing aound. Sent it to their repair shop as a warranty defect. We will see what they say and hopefully send me aome new rca pig tail adapters.

Love how they Amps look and all but to many people say plus what I’ve seen that they overheat to much
Thanks for dyno test to share information but you can tell in more details like revile mosfets or ic for input and output section❤❤
Always wonder about the volts for ppl with normal cars
Hopefully they get into powersports grade water rated amps soon would be big sellers for guys with sxs
I think those are coming later this year
By the end of the year they should start dropping 😊
I just need a solid 600x6. I love my jp77 but I’m locked into the 2k sub channel. It would be amazing to get a 600x6 or 1200x6 and the sub channel becomes a field of options.

thanks for getting on them for using crappy caps.
While JL Audio is using YUSCON caps in their amplifiers. Not as good as they use to be, but only time will tell when my JD500/1 gives up the ghost.
you can disassemble and flip that remote, right?

Apparently it’s been awhile since ive watched your channel. What happened to that sound cube box? Neighbors complain too much?
Thanks for sharing this. Aloha
Thinking about buying this to replace the Kicker Key in my wife’s Gladiator…she wants to add a sub and wants it louder
You don't mind losing the DSP functions? Or do you plan to add a separate DSP?
@@JasonWW2000 she has the stinger high 10 installed….might add of separate dsp she wants it louder
We want see a DD Audio M2500
HOLE LOT OF POWER,...Nice little 5 Chanel
Me literally looking at this amp to put in my daughter's Honda Accord LOL.
only show nine colours on the box. black and gloss black i think was the extra choice.
This is my favorite part 🎉 dam it beat me to the punch
I have the 1500w one, it gets terribly hot fast. In my trunk it his 160° in 5 minutes in the heat of the day.
That sounds pretty good
the nice and easy way to upgrade a stock system, without going nuckin futtz....
Thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Bud I could use that 5ch amp in my minivan. What are you gunna do with that amp after the test bud .
As always Big D, loved the video and info. I wanted to ask you a question about an amp that I'm curious about. Its the Hifonics BE35-2100.1D 35th Anniversary Edition. I was curious if you've done a dyno on it and if not, could you? The amp seems to be a lot better quality than normal and even has Tiffany style RCA's. Its a very heavy amp and would love to see the results if you wouldn't mind doing it. As always, thanks for the education.
Hello, could you try a Brazilian POWERUS 2500.1 amplifier. thank you
tried looking for them in uk there not available at a reasonable price
Yea boi
Thanks for being a Patreon supporter! Early video access FTW!
Hey Big d, I have a question for you. If you get to it, thank you in advance. What do you think the maximum sustained temperature for the internals of a JP8? I've been doing research on it, and I really can't find a solid number. My amp is mounted in the trunk where the spare tire would be, it does have fans on it along with the fan that's in it, but in the summertime it gets kind of warm. Again thanks in advance, great video, really enjoy your content 👍
Most of the circuit board components can easily handle over 250° F. I'm thinking the lowest temperature sensitive component might be the large electrolytic capacitors. They should have a temperature rating printed on them. Usually they have a maximum temperature of 80 degrees C which is about 175 °F.
@@JasonWW2000
Thanks for the info! When I see the temperature on the bass knob get to 140° f, I usually turn the volume down a little bit let things cool.
@@Stoneman1971 Do you have a path for fresh air to get to it and for the hot air to get away? Recirculating the air in the trunk should be okay, you just don't want to mount the amp in a small covered area separate from the trunks air.
@@JasonWW2000 Yes, there is some airflow. The answer sitting where the spare tire used to be at. And then I made a new top floor for the trunk which is spaced up around the edges. There's also four 4-in computer style fans blowing on the amplifiers.
@@Stoneman1971Sounds good. Most amps have thermal protection circuits. If it detects the temperature getting too high it will either throttle back the amplifier or turn it off completely. Look and see what your amps have. That a way you'll know what to look out for.
Hahahahha nice.. me and my wife went to dunnellon high.. in 2007. Dang I miss the kp hole. .. anyways nice amp and good review as always. Might be checking out this brand.
What amplifier should i get for the defbounce Apocalypse Series AP-M67AC 600w.
I want to power a pair
Also I love that you started using wire ferrules it always bugged me
I’ve been hearing a lot about eleven audio not too sure if you have heard about it I would love to see your review some of their amps
I noticed that when the Mm1005 amp was powered up, the protect light illuminated on the amp for a brief second, but didn’t illuminate on the bass remote. Is this normal?
Yes, it's normal. The amp is showing you that the light works, now if it stayed illuminated then there might be an issue but that wasn't the case. Hope this helps, cheers....
@@jdmintegradp I would have guessed if the amp protect light came on, so would the protect light on the bass remote, since they are linked together. No?
You've always been a D4S pusher 🤣 No hate! I hear they're really good! That 10005 was impressive as hell for staying @ or >100amps
How’s the SQ with these D4S amps? In regards to SQ brands like Focal, JL, ETC. I’m looking to replace a kenwood xr5s that sounded incredible. I currently have a couple Taramps 440/4s and while they are clear and can get down, at the higher volumes they don’t keep up with the kenwood in SQ. They get louder but they mud a bit.
The Taramps are known for their high levels of distortion. I don't have any experience with the down for sound full range class D amps, but at the same time I've never heard anybody complain about their sound quality. Hopefully some more people will chime in.
@@JasonWW2000 hey hearing taramps is known for that is helpful enough in itself. I just fixed my car after a year down with 2 4 channel pioneers on Rockford mids/highs. I need to put one of my radios in it and listen for that type of distortion. Their S/N ratio is much lower than the kenwood, so it’ll be interesting where they stand in regards to the kenwood and taramps.
I don't see people running them in specifically-designed SQ systems. For an everyday upgrade, I suspect the 5-channel would sound good, and maybe even great to someone who likes to listen to loud music and isn't going for competitive SQ. People use the D4S big-wattage amps just because they want to create a tornado outside their car, regardless of what it sounds like, nothing more; and they can do it at a low price, with the exception of the massive electrical upgrades required. I equate D4S and Taramps to tires on a performance car. They are meant for a specific purpose and you'll need to replace them more often, that's why they are so cheap. Are they going to be around 30 years from now still performing like the Fosgate, PG, & JL? If I were looking to get a 5-channel for an SQ system, I'd look at JL, Arc Audio, Hertz, etc.
@@jp1087 oh okay, that’s a great perspective, very helpful. Before stumbling on this one I was keeping my eye for a JL or RF Power. I’m interested in arc but they don’t have the right power level, but I’m glad you reminded me as that may be a god fit for my other build lol. I honestly never checked hertz figured they wouldn’t have what I want, maybe I’ll be surprised
@@IAM_HCLooking at the specs on that Kenwood it's 80w x 4 and 350w to the sub.
Are you powering 4 door speakers and a sub?
Is it the door speaker power you want more of or the sub power?
The only number I didn't like on the 1000x5 is you peaked the amp pull at 97 amps to alternator/battery. A guy can wish that was 85 amps. That's closer to 70% of "most" alternator capacities. Damn good try tho D4S. Thumbs up from me.
For it to pull that much amperage you'd have to have all five channels wired down really low and then push all five channels to full power. That's never going to happen.
@JasonWW2000 most door speakers are 4 to 6 ohm most subs are dual 2 ohm your already there. And if parallel 2 6x9 and have a super tweeter your at 2.5 or 3 ohm
@@kyleteal5888I'm not sure what you mean by "already there".
@JasonWW2000 he did 3 and 4 ohm load tests. Speakers rise and fall in resistance with use. So if you have a 3 ohm Speakers that dip to 2.25 ohm at peak it needs the 97 amps from the alternator. So you're already at the limit. Now if you had some of the 90s stuff that played at 90 or 91 dB sensitivity and was lighter and was set for 6 and 8 ohms. You would only need to run the amp at maybe 45 watts per channel so you only pull about 50 amps at the alternator.
@@kyleteal5888You're way overthinking everything. If you want to draw less amperage from your electrical system, turn your volume down.
14:16 that is gets me very nervous!
Anything D4S i expect to have some extra beans hidden somewhere
That little 5 channel amp is not just a little more bump. Set up correctly that's a loud system.
5 channel would be great for a "normal" install...is it class D ?
yes, Class D across all 5 channels
Shark industries 3k. Nice amp
