If anyone has problems with these amps it’s a skill issue. I’ve literally switched over from sundown SAE & SALT.

All 0 gauge ofc wires. Stock 130 amp alternator. 😮 amp runs cool and voltage stays around 13.4 full tilt. Takes power to make power 😊

[@1012taz]

I am always amazed how so many people want to be loud,but don't understand what it really takes to get there. J.P. you have to tell them the truth onnce and for all. Some bass heads have to understand that big amps require big electrical. People need to actually see it in real time to get it in their heads. You probably have to make a full video on this,giving different examples on applications. 💯💯💯👍

[@paulfretz6777]

All someone really needs to do is look at you tube at guys like Steve Meade, John Price, and so many others. If they would pay attention to the wiring instead of the flex, it would be obvious. Another thing they don’t understand is the cheaper aluminum coated with copper wire is not as efficient as pure copper which is indicated by the cost difference. This wire won’t carry the same amperage when comparing same for same wire sizes.

[@DGGuaglianone]

I bought a 4500rms amp used for $400 bucks and thought it was a steal. I’ve spent x3 that just upgrading my electrical, after realizing my stock electrical wouldn’t cut it.

[@purplebooger6410]

@@blastztrixx that sounds like a great setup! I have run many similar builds And if you are asking me what I think is loud I would say that $600 is about what I would budget just my power and ground wire cost when starting a build.

Jonathan I’ve been doing car stereo work for a long time on my own. I’ve gotten to the point where I do not fool with anybody else’s vehicles I’ve got away from it. I was taught by a professional how it needs to be wired if it needs one power and ground if it needs 20 power and grounds you run them all I watched a lot of vehicles burned to the ground because of sheer stupidity of the owner of that vehicle. this is the reason I have gotten away from doing installs. It got down to the point where we were having to run specialty screws that the bits could not be bought at a local hardware store. You had to order them to keep people from screwing with their own shit Because they would want to turn it up to the max instead of learning to run it where it was properly set the reason I do not do it anymore like the old saying goes you can’t fix stupid and this day and age there’s no way you can fix it

[@JayTR_10]

@THELIFEOFPRICE It’s scary that someone would use 4 gauge electrical with a JP43 that has the capability to generate nearly 10k burst. And the fact that they say “I’ve been doing it a long time” means NOBODY should listen to these fools still using the same power/grounds that they did in 1997 for them and their homeboy’s Hifonics 240watt amps… JP, keep doing your thing and know that the common sense Audio Lovers understand the level of quality you guys put into the D4S product line. Haters will always hate, but the other 90% of us love what you do and know it takes heart & dedication to bet on yourself and open a business at all. Much less have the level of success you have had.

[@bok9944]

I read reviews on different amps all of the time. Something you read comments of customers saying they were sent 2 or 3 defective replacement amps. So many factors average audio guys don't know. Not just needing bigger power supplies for amps like these, but matching wattages with speakers & amps. Even understanding ohm loads. A local guy purchased a new 2 channel highs amp (did 360x2 rms @2ohm) for low wattage horns and tweeters. Originally said he just needed a small 2 channel. When that one went out i replaced it with a new bigger 2 channel that did 800x2 rms and he told me this one also went into protect. I told him there was no way everything was wired correctly and he felt as if i was selling him bad merchandise. I told him i would take a look at his setup. 14 tweeters and horns hooked up to 2 channel amp........all wired in parallel. Most of the tweeters and drivers were 4ohm so both channels ohm load were well under ohm. I switched that amp with a smaller 4 channel and his speakers ran with no problems. I lost not only a lot of money on the 2 new amps but a lot of time. I didn't charge him for evaluating the problem or install.

[@alanstant9356]

I agree with you, and there are a lot of inexperienced people out there who try and install equipment and always run into problems. That is one of the problems I run into out of business here, JP. I'm always saying leave it to a professional if you don't know what you're doing. This way, it will be installed the right way the first time.

[@paulfretz6777]

The internet is full of proper installation techniques, explanation of wiring requirements, air space requirements, so on and so forth. There are guys out there who do in-depth installation blogs, and they can teach so much to people new to the hobby. However instant satisfaction, and lack of funds really contribute to the problems as well as lack of experience and common sense.

[@alanstant9356]

@paulfretz6777 That's all good, but if they pay any attention to what they are watching, there wouldn't be any problems either. Yeah, money problems are an important factor, and It's like I said if you leave it to a professional, it will be done right the first time.

[@omark2423]

The only company that I had an issue with is Orion. They told me they don't have a repair department even though the warranty was still valid. Another thing is make sure your wire can handle the amp and fuse rating. Don't want to run more power on a wire that can't handle that much power.

[@RodofAllTrades]

I have to admit.... I shot-gunned two 4 gauge wires into a 1/0 input of my JP23v2. It still performed since the runs were short, but I have since corrected that with proper 1/0. Also, about 10 years ago, I was running a CT Sounds 4K and only hooked up half the inputs, since I was running 2 ohms instead of 1 ohm. I had zero issues. I bought that amp to replace a pair of Audiopipe 1500's that were strapped, but would overheat. The CT 4K only got luke-warm running the same subs.

Hey JP, big fan here, sorry you are going through this. There will always be new people to the hobby that have no idea what they are doing, luckily when I was green, amplifier power was around $8 per watt (adjusted for inflation.) So I cut my teeth on tiny little amps that made 40 or 50 watts. I thought I had made it big when I bought a used Linear Power 1501, 75 watts by 2! Kid's today can buy a 3000+ watt amp while working the same minimum wage job I had back in the day. We need to educate the young guys coming up, but not be angry at their ignorance. We don't want to sour them on the hobby. Take care brother.

[@flsabvb7578]

There are a lot of new car audio people out there that doesn’t understand this. Maybe it would be ideal to make a diagram showing how to hook one of these up from your battery so this way they can see what you mean because a lot of the newer generation doesn’t understand this JP. Diagrams go a long way imo but keep up the great work. I also have a question about the wireless bass remote. Can you add a battery in the remote because they make some small batteries that will fit so you can take your bass knob in at night charge it and your good for the next day 💪

My old pioneer gmh 200 had three power and grounds for a 300-watt amp back 91 and would not turn on with all power leads not hooked up. Gotta love bi polar. It sounds so much better than mosfet, but the efficiency is awful. All amps with dual power inputs should have a protection circuit for that.

[@in2quads]

4ga power to a 10,000 watt amp is crazy. My rule of thumb is 4ga wire in a 20 foot run is good for 800 watts MAX, and 00ga is good for 2500 watts MAX. Both at 14 volts. Good good people are insane.

People do the dumbest shit ever.

Okkkkk open the hood what do I see ? Infinit q60 with an aftermarket nice ams expansion tank with two radiator caps , one side is the turbo coolant and the other is foe the engine but what’s clearly in my face is two radiator caps that are not reading the labels right side up which immediately signifys to me that they aren’t on properly. Sure enough both caps were not closed all the way and it had been leaking right off the top smh the other was so brainless that they themselves can’t seem to figure that much out and diagnose something as simple as a cap being improperly installed …… car audio ?

Good video. No one talks about cable length, though. If you are going 3 feet, 3 zero gauge runs from the source is completely unnecessary. No one talks about the total resistance of the conductor. Hell, Steve Mead even had a video where he helped someone that had a zero gauge going to his fuse near the battery then had a 4 gauge from the fuse block to the battery (like 8 inches). He said that was a bottle-neck. That's not how it works. This industry is filled with people that say what to do but never say why. This stuff can pretty easily be quantified. But, yes, I do agree that so many people that do "installs" have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

Question: I have the MM1000. It is my first class D amplifier. I notice noise on the FM band of the station is weak or non-existent. Am I getting switching noise from the amplifier? It stops when I turn it off or turn the bass knob all the way down.

[@none9440]

That’s why I only have a jp13 and jp84 powered by my 320 amp alternator and 1 XS D3400R /big 3 0 ofc ,

[@rickgore3350]

I've got more into my electrical than I do my amplifiers for now anyway got a 4 taramps md12ks I need to replace with some jp83s or 93s

[@CompactAudiodesigns]

Saw steve meade did this to a Brazilian amplifier and caught the amp on fire 🔥so even so called professionals do things like this

[@robertlentz6041]

All I can say is I love my JP83 I would recommend D4S I am going to get 4 of the 15in subs here soon for a wall build

[@robertlentz6041]

I decided to do the 18 witch I'll be ordering the end of February

[@maxthompson5909]

I’m a professional 12 volt installer and I never leave a review but I’ve never seen a JP amp fail from a proper install.

[@paulkoski8759]

I have a skar rp4500.1 I run a 370 alt 2 runs 3 ot to 96ahr headway and dual inputs with 3ot so I can image what those take to run

[@lilflip416]

That's crazy... Whos really buying an amplifier that big and not know that.

[@bojow8102]

Common sense should be classified as a super power because it's so rare these days.🤦

[@sirob584]

This need to be pinned because it’s hilarious but so true 😂

[@arizonaf2503]

I've always said to forget about making your car a bass machine and focus on making it an electricity generator.

Garbage in equals garbage out. Always leaving the laundry detergent on the playground.

[@no_one_special_5407]

Hey, I got a question , what happened to that JP40's??? I tried to find it on the site but couldn't, i wanted to get two of them for my truck cuz im running a JS alternator 250 with 1 extra amg battery on a 3k for my two Trinity 18's wanted to upgrade to two 5k's but i need more batteries so i was thinking about two of those JP40's

[@veezelsrebassed1674]

I learned dont matter what you have ppl will always complain about something and do nothing ppl also dont understand power current and how electronics operate

[@1280spoon]

Wow thats wild its a reason for those triple inputs that amp is not getting proper voltage and will do some damgae for sure i agree jp

[@Thumper68]

No it will get proper voltage still with just one wire it’s not able to pull amperage it needs though to perform properly.

[@LatvianVideo]

@@Thumper68 It wont get proper voltage, the wire will basically soak up the voltage. Recently I helped a person with their issue, amplifier turning off due to low voltage (10v at the amp) At the battery it was 13.5v, the issue was their 4 gauge wire run, after replacing it with 1/0 gauge the voltage issues went away.

[@Thumper68]

@@LatvianVideo you don’t understand the difference between voltage and current. It will get proper voltage to power on 12.8-14.4 but not enough current to supply it’s need thus lowering the voltage. That said it can’t take anymore then you give it. The biggest issue is low voltage and current are the worst thing on electronics which shortens life significantly.

[@Thumper68]

@@LatvianVideo that’s a current issue. Amperage draw is current.
