  • This week we have another 4 channel on the bench, today it's the Pioneer GM-D8604. This one is rated to do 4x100W Rms @ 4ohm, 4x150W RMS @ 2ohms and supposedly is 1 ohm stable and rated @ 4x125W RMS @ 1 ohm... Which for $128 is an absolute BONKERS deal. Are these ratings true or fiction? In this video we will unbox this amp and find out exactly how this amp performs!

      @@xs911s sound quality depends on which type of circuit it is using.
      This pioneer is class d and not using the best class d chip out there due to being manufactured at a price cap and thus i would not expect it to sound like class ab. This is purely for bass heads.. run your mids and highs from class ab amp made by sony pioneer and they will sound crisp and clear with everybeat.
      Subs don't need the cleanest of amps cus they can't produce sounds above 1khz.
      This thing is using irs2093 that chip is common and found everywhere.
      The mono block version (8601 or 8701) uses irs2092. Again a very common chip and used in all sorts of amps.

    Already have the GM-D9605 powering my basic 4x 6x9 / 2x 10" JLW3 setup. Even when running it a bit louder then I normally would listen it stays just barely warm to the touch. I originally bought a small super compact S/O amp to make for an easier install in the Miata. But tonight I saw the low price of this and since I liked my 5channel version I figured this would be even better and cheaper. Now that I know that compact amp won't work behind my dash area I am stuck with under the passenger seat area so might as well size up a hair. My focal components are only rated at 60watts RMS and the Slim Pioneer 10" is rated at 300watts so it should be a great match. The components will likely be cutout at 63/80hz so they should do fine with the extra power. Should make for a clean setup in the little Miata NC. Thanks for taking the time to review this. I found Frys had the best price at $134 shipped/tax and they are authorized so warranty is good. Super slow shipping though, it states the 12th of July! HU power is doing fine atm at least. First world problems...

      I read somewhere if your whole setup is at 4 ohms cab components(4) and one woofer also at 4ohms.. that you could run the 4 cab speakers in parallel with each other whatever that means.. and then bridge the other B channel or whatever for the one 12 inch sub says 300rms potential and my sure is 275 rms.
      I dont care much to super loud bass I just want clean sound and of course a little bass to back it up.. would that be okay ? Or am i sacrificing sound quality alot ?

    I own this amp. It's in my 2006 Miata, which usually has the factory hardtop on it, except for a few months in the summer. I have Infinity 6.5" / 1" dome separates custom mounted in the doors. I have custom cabinets that I made with the same separates except the 5.25" / 1" domes in small cabinets behind the seats, facing the back window. Each of these separates come with true separate crossovers. Obviously, not much room for a subwoofer in a 2 seat roadster, but I've tried! lol I had a nice 12" mounted, but it rattled too much for me to take. Sounded great, but with the soft top in the area where the 12" was mounted, there was no way to eliminate the rattles. Too bad! :( I finally settled on the Kicker HS8 on the passengers floor. Like the name states, it KICKS!
    I have Dynamat completely inside of the doors and every area possible in the cabin of the car. Then I laid a yoga mat like dense pad in between the factory carpet and the Dynamat, further reducing reflections and damping noise from outside.
    Nice thing about this budget gem Pioneer amp is I can turn it up pretty loud and those Infinity separates are crystal clear and very accurate, FLAT. No bass or treble adjustments at all. Then, I can turn it up significantly again and it still remains crystal clear and the 6.5" really pump out some great fairly deep mid bass. Very nice definition. Then, I can continue to crank it up, a couple of more significant notches and each time, it's still crystal clear and it finally is so loud it will virtually make your ears BLEED! So loud, no one I demo it to can take that much volume! It never distorts one bit either. Headroom deluxe! Needless to say I am extremely happy with this amp ,and my entire audio system, and will put it up against any Miata on the planet! lol =(:^)-

      @@keyt.7689 I can't remember the exact model number. They are the top of the line separates from several years ago. They come with a separate crossover and are preset to a high pass frequency for the 6.5" woofer and 1" dome tweeter. I cross them over with my Pioneer head unit to about 80hz, and under 80 hz goes to my sub. I can run them, and have tried running them full range, but the mid bass and deep bass becomes more muddy, and the midbass driver (6.5") sounds strained. But, if I cross it over at 80 hz, they then sound precise and balanced. I have them mounted in the door of a 2006 Miata NC. The midbass definition is quite impressive!!!
      I have lined the entire inside of the doors with Dynamat equivalent material, to deaden it up. The entire inside and some of the trunk of the car is lined with that. Floors, as far as I could reach under the firewall, under the seats, behind the rear cubby hole plastic interior cover behind the two seats, and in some of the trunk. The trunk was done prior to me owning the car and isn't complete because I felt it was not necessary as there are no speakers in that area. In a Miata, the trunk is completely isolated from the main cabin of the car. Hope this helps.

    The fact that this thing is 1-ohm stable makes it in a class of it's own for that sole reason. I honestly don't know of any other class D amp that is rated to run at 1-ohm per channel and certainly no class-AB will do that. To do this, the power supply is regulated and cuts power (125W @ 1 ohm vs 150W @ 2 ohm). In actuality your nominal resistance of the speaker may be a bit lower and certainly higher when playing music but in the end you'll be getting ~150W or more.
    I have a channel pushing a Pioneer TS-M650PRO and two DS-18 PRO-NEO6SLIM's in each front door (all 4 ohms, wired down to 1.33 ~ohms) and it absolutely screams!

    Recently built a system with these amps in my son's Lexus LS400. Based off the dyno BigDWiz did on the 9601. I used the 8604 for front and rear Pioneer 5.25" component speakers. An 8601 for a single 12" Fosgate P2 sub. Both seem to be doing the job fine and have been trouble free for the few months the system has been finished. Heavy pounding/playing will only get these amps luke warm. They run very cool so I'm happy with that. Son's car and he is a rookie so want a reliable system. I will say though, I am not all that happy with the sound quality of the front stage. What I don't know is if it is the class D amp, or simply the speakers used. I may just upgrade his front stage speakers and go from there. If it still doesn't satisfy me, maybe switch to a class A/B 4ch for mids and highs/

It would be nice to have matching amplifiers to go with my sub amp. After watching this video, I'm convinced !!! I am ordering this amp today !!! Also, if this amplifier is putting out over 250 watts per channel at 1 ohm, do you think maybe the manual has a typo? I have always wondered why the 1 ohm rating was lower than the 2 ohm rating. Clearly this amplifier kills it at 1 ohm !!!

I very carefully studied this particular pioneer model and I will buy one in the coming weeks for my high power home speakers. It will be necessary to pay big money to all nearby neighbors to convince them to let me play metallica at 125 decibels.

I just have a little Dodge Dakota so fitting a big box and big speakers without major mods is a pain. I don't even remember what I have running my 10inch undersized sealed box sub but I know the lights start to dim driving down the highway once the pioneer head unit gets over 35. Need to get a mechman alternator as well.

    Hey quick question man, this amp has a total of 60 amps of fusing, how does it produce more than 1000watts without blowing the fuses?

    • @livebig6414
      @livebig6414 3 месяца назад

      Same question here! did you find out? 1100w/14v=78.5 amps, amp is fused with 2x30A thats 60amps, for me it doesn’t really make sense. Wouldn’t that much power break the fuse?

    • @banlmao1707
      @banlmao1707 3 месяца назад

      @@livebig6414 lol I commented this over a year ago, but since then I’ve found that dynamically fuses will be fine pulling more amps than rated, the capacitance in the amp already has some power before it pulls the rest of the power. It does make that much power.

    • @PaulPi3rce
      @PaulPi3rce 6 лет назад +1

      Sounds good. I’ve done some controlled Comparison testing between a Pioneer PRS D4200F and a Pioneer GM D9500F, which is half the price of the PRS. Basically just swapped them with everything being the same and the gains set the same verified with a volt meter. They are both rated 75 watts x 4 RMS at 4 ohms. I could not tell a difference between the two sonically, which makes me wonder if there is any difference between amplifiers like the budget gems you test and more high end amps with equal power and everything within the limits of their power. I’m sure there are quality differences inside them and the higher end stuff might last longer but in the crappy noisy environment of a car, I personally think it doesn’t make sense to go crazy and spend a ton of money on a high end amplifier for a questionable sonic upgrade if any.

I think to calculate it with p=u*i and i=u/r so i=14/3 i=4.66 amps and 115w/4.66=24.67volts so i will turn the gain till i get 24.67 volts ac with test tone and will set the amp to 115w rms power. Is that right?
