Do you get to keep the product you review? Any chance of an old school McIntosh amp Dyno?
@@rickybobby7285 in many cases yes, I keep the product. It does not influence the review as I don't need another amp. As for McIntosh, check this: th-cam.com/video/8VR3yDJgv5Y/w-d-xo.html
I'd say that the minimax mm504 is pretty damned good with audio clarity and well rounded, smooth audible
notes overall period; especially wit the use of your Elac speakers there pal!! For me, this would be exceptional
with any comparison that originally came in my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee!! In fact, I could imagine going 8
channel for sure, meaning 2 of the minnimaxx amps plus maybe with the use of median price range base
ported bookshelf speakers that are outdoor rated used for boats! Two rearward firing, Two Frontward firing
and 4 side mounts firing with a total of 400 watts. This use case would also be great for home use, driven by a
2- 13.2 VDC 40 amps power supply if you can find them for a decent price. My Bro In-law has an entertainment
room that measures about 24' x 24' and with this kind of audio power, it would probably want to rattle the glass
panes out of the place! That same living room, I knick named as a small movie theater clear back in 1992!
Fifer niner is typically a aviation saying. Avoids miscommunication errors over radio transmission. My cousin is airforce and answered that one
would you do a review RZ4‐2000DSP its has a very power full dsp system using analog audio chip [same chip and software i dayton audio dsp, I currently own this the amp is very clean sounding but we all razor is full of ish with there claimed rms numbers, but in the right hands that dsp chip is VERY POWERFULL. .I run mine with some already great sound polks but with the dsp the sound is litterly life like loud and clean and accuarte and competes with high end studio monitors. . not only that it gives you a 2 dsp discrete outputs for subs, so you can tune a sub completley flat with. . and use the other for a mid horn or what ever you would want to . . . They also make a they also make a 5 channel with a built in sub output . [Power Acoustik RZ5-2500DSP] but yeah i was considering buying the 5 channel version so i dont have to have a sub amp but very concerned if the sub power would be enough. . side note would be cool if DS4 would start using these dsp chips there pretty cheap as well. .
Thank you for another review Man! Was a weird feeling getting so excited about doing a little over 50w rms 😅
I could really use some budget friendly power sports amps Hertz is good but a lot of people won’t go for that “price” point… and I’ve tried a few others and they just lack. 150x4 and a 5 channel would be awesome… similar size to the 900.4 hertz spl amp…
i feel like we need an explination on the 500w rms rating on the site though
we know you hold it down JP, loyal from the first vid and purchase from d4s, love the sundown stuff i bought.
I feel like it’ll be pretty perfect for my infinity door speakers man. Still don’t even have my 23 hooked up after all these months JP 😂
When's the next big sale
I remember my MTX TA 3404 was twice the size with the same output. Times have changed.
I have a TA3404 as well. Actually does about 75 watts x 4 @ 4 ohm.
I had the 4300x mtx. Had a mtx ta 92001 too and the elite te 4000 which was the same amp. Mtx and xtant together was dope
@lacboiatl I also had a 7801. That thing was violent, to say the least.
Always something new from D4S! I love the click feature on the crossovers, especially with the corresponding chart that is awesome 👌
My ? Is why you always talking about SKAR audio? That's what some people can afford. My teenage son has Skar and it thumps.
Using their name makes ppl click on the video.
Brings views Skar is one of the biggest in the world! Kevin makes big money man prolly on his way to a billionaire his uncle is the king of marketing folk’s pay his uncle million’s to help them grow brand’s! As they say give respect where do!
Because he gets paid to rep D4S. Notice he didn't knock Incriminater Audio that EXO gets paid to rep. Him, EXO and JP are all together.
7:20 I'm guessing it's a reference to the RST reporting system for radio communication, with "five nine" being the best sounding quality for voice.
Beat me to it lol
I was thinking the same thing. For some reason I also thought about Tommy boy was that a niner in there.😅
I’m so glad I picked up a red one!!! Thank you for the dyno
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Long term reviews...
I can confirm his amps hold up. Mine has been rained on several times and is driven to clipping daily for at least 2 hours a day since 2017 or 2018, not sure exactly. I only have 2 of his JP8's. The remote read out part failed 2 years ago, but the gain knob still works. The second amp I got 2 years ago and is also holding up well.
How ever his Blue tooth speaker sucks balls.
The skar amp this amp one is directly competing against I also have. While it was good while it lasted, ultimately one channel failed for no apparent reason. I would recommend not getting the tiny Skar amp. I have not replaced that amp yet but plan to. I have not tried any other Skar amps for long term. I have bought a lot of stuff from this channel. Amp dynos sell amps.
Love the compact design who want to downsize from bigger bulkier amps you could get 2 amps to easily tuck away under the seats or whatever the enthusiasm goes for install.
Imagine showing an engineer in the 70s an amp that's 90% efficient.
Also Big D, I noticed when you power it up your dyno has a serial number of 0012. Is that really one of the first production models you have there?
No one ever puts out videos on these amps or amps like them that show THD or Dampening. The true factors that give good SQ . Watts are important but mainly for the standpoint that if it performs with the what the company states. But it’s pretty straightforward who produces decent power at the middle tier level. The amp is solid if it produces 95 watts rms even if states 100 rms. I will take an amp with 90 watts rms rating with S/N ratio 110 with negative .01%THD with a high damping factor OVER and amp with poor numbers that produce 110watts even though it says 100 rms. Power does not mean quality. UNLESS you run and amp that has double the power you need and only run it halfway for clean output but even then you still take a chance. Rockfords high end line and JL along with Alpine and many other stupid expensive amps are expensive for a reason
Just bought one of these amps.... the RCA pigtail connection, and the whole crossover section seems to be loose.... Down4Sound will NOT allow me to return it for an exchange. Instead, I have to pay for shipping to return it to have it evaluated for a warranty repair..... I haven't even had the amplifier for 24 hours yet......bad customer service.... will NEVER buy from them again.🤬
she's a beaut clarke!
I do not like skar. I will not buy anything that has the skar name on it, But skar still does big numbers.
On sales They're not jealous nor worried about JP Really starting to lose credibility. with your Clip bait , Are you hurting for views Let's try to keep it impartial.
I've got a 4 channel and 2 channel D4S MiniMaxx . They get down. And inexpensive to boot. Highly recommend.
How it handles subs?
The consistency you provide and testing is top notch
sponsored... so 11 min infomercial.
Williston is the amp dno industry premiere standard that's why they pay him for his experience. Plus hrs gotta make a living
the message says: this is powerfull.. but its chinese crap that wont last for long...
Amps with no dynamic headroom don’t sound good on music. Great value though. Looks to be top quality.
Those Elac's still sound clean as he77... D4S amps are good 👍 amps especially for the money
Another good video my friend!! JP is killing the game!!
I think all car audio manufacturers should show live amp dyno of their amplifiers to prove if it does what they rated it for. to the public to see.. so we can decide if it is worth buying. i think companies would make products do more rate power then. The you will know whats junk and whats quality product that does rms power that they rated it for
I just wished D4S had better CS, if you look at all the complaints about D4S its mostly about that.
I have always had excellent experiences with their customer service. They have literally gotten back to me within an hour any time I have had a question or problem. I don't know if people are doing it wrong or what, but email is how I have contacted them, and it has always been an amazing experience.
I think these D4S amps are great. I'm glad they're offering multiple colors instead of all the random gaudy bright colors I've seen in older offerings. Nobody wants their system to look like a spilled bag of skittles.
This Amp would do well in my vert with only 2 speakers in the doors. Lol have subs in trunk already.
It the ham world 5er 9er means you sound clear and your output power is high, now as for is that what this means in this amp i have no clue
And at $100, I think I'd invest a little more for some more power. Pay more now so you don't worry later.
i rather like their amps. its s shame there is no 2/4 channel switch. ive heard warranty is a struggle with them and ive had trouble ordering as well. their pricing setup isnt terrible for retail. far better than knukonceptz but even still, there is not much meat on the bone for dealers. if they could add some quality of life features to the amps and if they could fix their web ordering system - i would consider them more strongly against other options in the market.
I could see getting 2 of these for an SQ build. 1 for the mids/highs and one for a pair of 6.5 low profile subs for under the seats.
That’s a great idea. I’ll probably do the same
Down for Sound? More like Down for Old School!
I do at least one video either on this channel or the Old School Stereo channel about old school car audio a week 👌
More like down 4 the consumer
Big D, please, can you include thd, stereo crosstalk and other tests? The power doesnt mean a thing if the amp gives out a metric tonne of distortion, i see a lot of these budget amps and people only praise the rated power, like its the only metric that tells you how "good" an amp is, i cant imagine any of these cheap amps can put out a clean signal throughout the frequency range, for subs its okay, but for mids and highs, you sometimes hear the distortion, thus making only noise, not playing any music , and some people Care about that!
Awesome looking amp with choice of colors , Fantastic. Thanks for the video Big D.
I really like the trend to smaller (size) amps... Opens up a lot of insulation options. Thanks as usual for this awesome video!
I dig these mini max amps. I have installed 2 in my step sons truck and they are beyond impressive
Not disturbing the peace with single digit watt amps.
@@elcomandante9299 the kicker wagon build with the solo x subs did a 150db with less than 900w 🤷🏿♂️
@@The_Crasher-xj4el and as we all know, the older, Quality made amps AKA "Cheater" Amps... all output WAY more than they are rated or labeled at. "50w" Rockford amp from the 80's pushing over 900w.. hell even my "500w" kicker comp c class d amp I got in the early 2000's pushed 1500@1ohm easily.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 I mean they quite literally measured the minimum wattage it took to hit that score on an spl meter. It’s got one amp per voice coil lol. But yes ik wym
this is just crazy value. pair this with an above 90dB efficient subwoofer, this will be plenty for most people
These single digit max watt amps are a waste of space. 1.21 JIGGAWATTS? NOT EVEN CLOSE.
What if you need something small that doesn't pull a lot of current? Like in a UTV or motorcycle? Then I would say something like this is perfect 🤦
Can we see some tests of the new Marts Digital MXS 4ch series amps? Preferably the 800x4 and 400x4. the motorcycle audio community would love you for this
I just happen to be in the market for a 4 channel amp.
Not sure why there's any downside to the pigtail "Y" inputs. looks like they provide some quality connectors. Lot easier to accommodate the pigtails as opposed to another 2.5" in width. Nice little setup in some dashes, no problem under most any seat.
I love my jp3. Totally found an issue I had for years now (bad connection at battery) thought I was eating amps, but the jp3 gives me that wonderful volt meter... saw the issue right away and man, this thing bangs!
really? SKAR audio is jealous of BOSS
I'm mainly waiting to have the fund's to pick up some 13.2s and 72s as well. His 4s, 6s and 8s look solid as well. However, Wolfram has their amps really cheap rn ever since they parted ways with Collin and he started up surge. If you notice, surge is still at d4s, but Wolfram is solo now, mostly through FB. Kev and skar are out as well. It appears Kev and JP have had a beef for a few years. Derek, don't you take side's and get in the middle of it, LoL
These class D mini amps should come with built-in DSP like other companies are putting out. A 4-channel amp with this kind of crossover features should have class A sound quality. I'm not really a fan of the D4S stuff because of how much power they need and how short their lifespan is. But if they added DSP and even charged $200 for these mini amps, I could see these being a great buy for someone just looking to upgrade their daily without having to upgrade their electrical system. They could give Kicker, AudioControl and JL a run for their money in the SQ market if they built these right. Hell, I would even consider buying them if they lasted more than a couple years.
Where did you get that Mello Yello Zero?
MAN... I'm so jelly for kids, these days. All this cheap, solid car amp goodness, going on.
D4S is definitely taking the world by storm!!! You think Skar is jealous, just wait for the subs to drop. Most companies better watch out 😊.
How do you get in touch with Mr Williston, to ask?s or just ask here? My question is when you look up competition speakers they all have this big thick rubber or foam surround, but yet Memphis M7 12 inch subwoofers and their mojo series I'll have a double stitched twin edge surround, that they say allows more ext. More air flow, there's speaker prices are more per speaker than the average, the sound quality sounds excellent their speakers are made superbly with the vents to cooling the frames, etc none like I've seen in any previous speaker but yet I never see any of them in competitions why is this? also I never have seen a amp test comparison or a review on them except from the manufacturer so I wish that Mr Williston would do a review and Comparison on the m7's and the Mojo's, against other speakers to see which ones are truly the king and Why.... Please n TY ..
50-60 watts RMS is still 4x what a headunit will put out and more than enough for a daily deiver with mid level aftermarket speakers. Nost are 50-80 watts anyways.
Ii know what the message means... lol I know what they all mean.... Jacob told me when we were in the Dominican Republic.... I told him he needs to put Sunflowers and puppy dogs on the next amp. Lol (Inside joke)
Im sure the mm1005 has similar results but im looking to run a w610in and 4 ds18 pro 6.5 in . The mm1005 seems a perfect match the w6 is in a seald enclosure
JP killin the game.lots and lots of options under his D4S banner
it's true man they are killing it
This is almost what I need for my 2002 mini cooper. Only problem is the head unit does not have RCA outs. I need speaker level inputs. What have you tested that would do a 3 channel similar to this one?
Nice little amp, but I still think the kenwood kac m3004 is still the better mini amp. Had mine for 4 years now without any problems
But are they class A/B? If not, I wouldn’t bother with them.
Can you run the mm504 in 3 channel mode for a set of components up front and a subwoofer in the rear? Thanks
hello sir, can you show the mosfets in the power supply and in the amplifier section next time when you show the guts, i want to know the part numbers because i'm a technician here in the philippines and i want to know the replacements in my amplifier repair, thanks
I love D4Sound amps more bang for the Bump
Why TF doesn’t have 4ga power inputs??
Yes Now I Can Buy Thank You Its So Tiny But Packs in So Much Features
Thanks man. Can't wait to get a D4S amp for my new to me escalade EXT.
Not bad results for this tiny bad boy👍🆙️
replacing my sundown with this✌️
It's really cool to see that something so small can be used to put out pretty good power
That’s what she said !!
For less than the price of the 500x4 i just go get the taramps ts400x4
AND, Derek perpetuates the beef between Kev and JP, LoL
I might just get one for the hell of it for that price and footprint.
Return of the molex plug to the channel .
Great channel!
Great content!
Skar is not jealous I’m about to buy a amp from them now!
Nice to see a company sell amps in multiple color choices.
Can you try dd audio ss4.500 . That thing fits in your hand
😂 love the Samuel l Jackson with the dyno on the monitor
That amp is so small, that they not found any place for fuses
Oh look another cheap amp with feedback noise.
I can say I have the JP8 and have zero noise
My jp234 hisses like a bitch gain all the way down
@@RJSDZNS consider yourself lucky. There are literally thousands of unhappy JP customers who complain of noisy amps.
@runningbear1982 I think you'll find there's unhappy customers with every manufacturer my friend.
So for the wife's car this or an mtx 4200x
will this mm504 be enough powa for the jfx65 speakers? i am going to get those 6.5 speakers with the tweeters inside. but dont know if i bridge this amp that 170 something will be enough to run these 200w rms speakers.
But how is sound quality of the mm amps?
Can u review a infinity reference 10001a please
I’m new to watching your channel. I like how you do reviews on reasonable priced equipment. What component speakers do you recommend. I’m looking for good clarity not just bass. Thanks
Have you heard anything about the WarZone Elite 3k watt RMS amp on Amazon and eBay thought I might ask you before I went and did something I regretted, lol ...
I'm concerned that I didn't see a fuse
Would you recommend the Down4Sound MM1500KFD (MINI MAXX) for a subwoofer?
Impressive features at this price point. Does anyone know if the inputs are balanced or at least floating? Meaning does it accept "speaker" input if you trim the RCAs off? This would be a huge improvement to an OEM system. I was VERY surprised to see fully discrete components inside I was expecting a power supply and some ICs like those Dual amps a few years back. Thanks again for another great test bigD
i just got my mini maxx 1004. havent used it because my car decided it didnt to drive (rip ball joint) but i hope itll push my two 6.5s good enough
I'm about a 5er... she left me for a 9er.
Okay the clickable potentiometers for x-overs with a list of frequencies is A HUGE THING! I wish every amp had those, I might get one of these just because of that feature to be honest
Man this video is perfect timing! I just bought this amp on Friday!! Just waiting for it to come in the mail!
How is sound quality?
@@esmokebaby I haven't installed it yet. It's just sitting on my table until I have good enough weather on a weekend to get to it.
Any update on how it sounds ? And also what speakers do you have paired up with the amp?
@@jasminemunoz539 I ended up putting it in a friend's car with a good set of Focal speakers. Sounds really good even at high volume. My friend loves it so much he sits in his car for hours on end listening to it lol.
Coming thru my S24+, mini vandals, I could hear the strings of the guitar👍🏼
I appreciate that JP names his multi-channel amps by rated output at 4 ohm, makes it so much easier to figure out what the amp is at a glance. I just wish there were more offerings within the series, 50w and 100w might cut it for basic speakers but once you get into higher power stuff this just doesn't cut it; there should at least be a variant for 150w and 200w within the MM multi-channel series, especially when size and price of scaling are considered.
I love amps doing power and more . And a small amp at that doing it well. My next investment will probably be mids and highs and an alternator upgrade. It’s crazy, I was just talking about the upgrade with a buddy of mine today. I’ll keep this amp in mind! Thanks for the video
I'll stick with taramps.
Ooh, I've been looking for a small amp to drive the front 4 speakers of the system in building. This is perfect timing!
I like the click crossover setting wish more amps had that
Right now I'm running a US Acoustics Lisa 4 channel for Dorr and rear speakers, wonder if thus amp puts out more power or would be a better option?
Allen’s keys….still not funny.
Now if I were all about efficiency and all and riding a scooter, this would be the amp to have. Light, uses minimal power and puts plenty out 👍🤞
Honest rated amp at an honest price, cant ask for more! You dont really note this much, but this amp has a great freq range in the x-over section. Dont always see that in competing units. My suspicion is that its a chip amp, not very different from ones used in head units. Seems like a great candidate amp for filter cap upgrades.
Excellent value and excellent approach to the marketplace. These will slam on just about any mid/midrange/coax
Another great video!! Thank you!! I need one!!!! Especially for the price!!
I've been patiently waiting for an amp exactly like this for one of my cars. Immediately ordered one after watching the video ❤
