Abuse is not use. Running my JP23 in phoenix and somedays the bass knob says 136 degrees... when using it it cools in about 20 mins to under 90 degrees. Don't run low ohm loads and push everything to the max and heat wont be an issue. These are good amps... Will def get my business again, I promote using them to all my customers 👍
I've been into car audio since the old school Liner Power, Zapco, & Sherwood days. All of my cars have had upgraded stereos installed by myself. So I decided to pick up and Installed one of these JP2300v2 with the back plexiglass facing into the car running at 2ohms pushing two 12's kicker Q-Class. This amp gets down, hits the deep low notes beautifully, runs cool and never has overhead. I previously was using a Brazilian smart 3k bass and never even came close to the power and clean output that this JP2300v2 puts out. Solid amp great product, and it shipped out immediately 👍🏼
I've been nothing short of impressed with any product I've received with the D4S brand on it. As someone else said, anything in mass production can fail, but the important thing is how does the company stand behind their products? They can't guarantee your item wont break, but what they can do is make sure the customer receives fair treatment. And from what I've seen, JP and the crew at D4S is there for their customers.
my amp fail was different, none of it was user error electrical was up to par to hold that amp. 14.7 volts, music at low volume kept hearing noises in subs then it destroyed almost every cap bout caught on fire. went straight to your warranty took 2 months and horrible customer service. even came to you personally for help and even you didnt really help me
Remember they have specific requirements for their warranties to be upheld and if any single one of them wasnt held up on your end they wont honor your warranty. If it truly was a defect and the amp was the issue that sucks and id be mad too. But they ask for very specific setup for the amps especially larger ones, and most amps dont just light on fire without something happening. Ive had every big name amp peoole say theyve had fires and issues with and ive never had issues 🤷♂️ ive had skar, taramps, audiopipe, and d4s all on completely wrong electrical, not enough power and still no issues
WE GOT YOU JP. DONT WORRY ABOUT THESE HATERS. YOU STAND BY YOUR PRODUCT. NOT LIKE SKAR😂. SKAR DOESNT EVEN SHOW FACE LIKE YOU DO. WE STAND BY YOU AND WORK HARD TO KEEP YOU KEEPING US BANGIN
I just got my amp last week. Coming from only Fosgate amps I was kinda skeptical but wanted to give yall a chance. Let me say I am very impressed and for the price I say it is the best amp. I noticed it did get a little hot and I had the same idea as you said. I noticed the fans on on the bottom and decided to raise the amp and let me tell you that’s all it needed. This video was much needed because I don’t think many people raise their amp for air flow
*Joe from Dallas Tx here… I am in the middle of a big build and I am considering using some JPs as I have faith in his products. But I think it’s laziness or lack of knowledge with most people not wanting to put in the small amount of extra effort to raise their amps. All amps are supposed to be on some form of standoffs due to every amp on the market having fans on the bottom. JP is right there’s multiple reasons why any amp will fell or heat up but as far as overheating, amps must sit on standoffs to breathe and stay cool and for best performance have external fans blowing through the amp under and top where the heatsink is
Been vibin' with my JP95 in my Focus ST. It does the job well, paired with a ct-sounds meso 10" at 1ohm. I do have a question though, how do these amplifiers operate under a smart charging alternator system? (i.e. when voltage fluctuates between 12.5v - 14.2v while driving like most newer cars these days) I disabled my battery management system for now so I'm charging at a constant 14v but I'm genuinely curious as to how the amplifier would handle the voltage fluctuations? Thanks
1. Never has my JP 33 gotten hot behind the rear seat of a ford superduty crewcab on an amp rack. Have only had 1 issue with my JP33 and the amp still played. The Bluetooth module in the amp for the bass knob failed. I'm waiting for it to get back in the next day or two to push the 12 zv6 again. D4S customer service was more than helpful and right on getting the problem fixed. Thanks D4S
I have seen a good product with all negative reviews many times, I didn't believe the reviews and ended up buying the product with absolutely no problems. It happens with products that either work or they don't like an SD card reader, if it works there is nothing impressive about it and no review is left, but any faults and everyone will do a 1 star review.
So I got a question my man. I live in California and it can get pretty hot here in the summer too and I’ve had other branded amps cut out music temporarily and stop playing bass during those hot summer days. Most of that is my own fault, I’ll admit, as the the user im the main contributor to the equipments failure during those extreme hot summer days when I know better than to max them out but I still do lol. But I’ve never had a class d 4 channel amp. This is going to be my first. Is it going to work at moderate to high volumes If mounted in the factory amp location behind the Carpets of my bmw for majority of the year ? I can understand the summer months can be brutal on aftermarket electronics but if I’m replacing the Oem amp I want to be sure the replacement will out perform the original and remain out of sight and still work during moderate to high volumes within reason?
Bought a JP95 and absolutely love it! I really think most people don't wire up systems properly or understand WHY it's important. Good wire and caps/batteries are pricey and add to the build more then the average installer is mabye prepared for or has little knowledge of. These are amazing amps for people that want high quality equipment at a price point they can afford!
Yea everytime I change something around I have to pull up a diagram to make sure I get the series/parallel wiring correct. It's so basic and I mostly remember how to do whatever I want to do but I have to double check and sometimes I make mistakes. Everyone else I know that has owned a system didn't know shit but would happily pull it apart, and move some wires around, and jus goof with their stuff trying to get more bass lmao That's pretty much the most simple thing to get right yet people so often don't even pull up a Google image to learn about how to hook their stuff up before they go to plugging shit in and turning knobs lol
I've been running a jp 13 for over a solid year on top of my underseat sub box seat sits right on top of it with some spacers and hasn't given me any issues yet I hear the fan always on but doesn't get hot.
I bought a refurbished jp33 and I've never had any trouble with it. Honestly it's by far the best quality Amp I've ever owned. Hey jp you know you're doing things right the more haters you'll have. Keep doing your thing bro. Thank you for the quality amps you provide.
I have a MM1002 jammed in the front fairing of my Harley running to 2 ohm speakers and I haven't had heat issues. I run it at highway volume for hours in Florida.
One question I've always had is if some of the bass knobs temperature readings are off. I got 3 jp8s 1 jp23 1jp95 and the 2 in one vehicle one will read 90 degrees and the other will read 130 degrees. I checked them with a temperature gun externally and both read 85 so I'm assuming the bass knob is off because they shouldn't be a 30 or more degree difference between the 2. And the jp23 is off in another car that also sits in the same garage as the one with 2 jp8s and a jp8⁴. Just a question but out of the 10 amps I have in total all the knobs read different degrees from the proper temperature that they are.
I have a JP8 and a JP84 combo for 11 months now. On the JP8 I have the gain maxed out. I back off when the clip light comes on. No overheating at all. These amps are awesome. I just bought a JP95T for my second vehicle. Had for one week now it is awesome as well so far.
i just got 1 of jp23 v2 and i live in hot contry so when im runnin music loud i see temp up to 47c is that hot for that amp or should i hook up external fan?
I'll say this. JP is the only person addressing any issue like this anywhere really. People don't realize, there are only a hand full of companies that make car audio components. Companies like JP go to these companies and put their name on it. D4S just chooses from a line the company likes. Then the real company that makes the amp or whatever. Just puts the name on it. It's possible that D4S amps and Memphis amps come from the same company. I just chose Memphis as an example.
My Jp23v2 is running strong, honestly I love this amp more than my old school Lanzar amps! My Jp23v2 never over heats, doesn't doing anything my push my EVL'S to the maxx!!!! Keep doing good work JP!💪🏾💯
It's amazing how people will ignore the warning labels that specifically say must have proper electrical to run this amp but they spend time commenting false bs on social media. Read the directions and maybe the product info before you buy something goes a long way..
Dude, ive been running my JP8 V1 since you did your original 1200 run. Over a year and i love this thing! Havent gotten over 109 degrees even on 90 degree days jamming hard. Haters are haters.
I’ve seen my JP8 hit 126 degrees, but that is in the summer in south Texas and only after a long 30 minute session at near clipping! It was warm to the touch, but not nearly as hot as other amps I’ve owned.
I definitely agree thought I've seen some jp amps have failures on good set up if set right with good power voltage set properly they can be good a amps
i have had my JP23 V2 for a little over a month and i love this amp. it does get hot, i have my Jp23 in direct wind on a mp rack above the sub box. i also have 3 half inch rubber grommets in each corner to raise the amp off the rack to help the fan on the bottom breath. as far as temp outside when the amp gets hot it was around 100f. my amp has never shut off due to it being hot tho. i have 2 15in skars 4ohm dvc wired to the amp at 1ohm. i have done the big 3 upgrade, and even before i did the big 3 i didn't have an issue with the lights dimming when the bass was hitting hard, and believe me the JP23 V2 will get your subs hitting hard asf did i mention i love my amp? lmmfao was thinking about getting another JP23 v2 and 2 more 15in skars. i also have a 1995 rockford fosgate punch 200ix pushing my 4 skar 6.5s in my doors.
Anything mass produced is obviously prone to failure... Failure is a part of the learning and growing process... There are reasons for failure, and THATS what needs to be addressed... Keep doing what your doing JP... Even Haters have their own way not following thru the process...😎
The fact that most users on forums I've seen have pushed these well below their ohm rating sets a huge point for the durability of these amps. Don't do this if you don't know what you are doing and don't want a possible failure. I am looking to put a JP95 in my Ford Maverick because the power to price ratio is amazing. Love the color options and the old US amp designs. I will be purchasing soon, and think your products look great, may even give the 3 way comps a try!
I have been running a jp33 for a year now and it originally gave me problems. I was later able to diagnose it to be an electrical issue with my car. The amp had no problems. These amps push some serious power ⚡️
I ran my JP63 at 15.5v, the power supply and mosfets blew less than a month brand new. However I replaced the mosfets and power supply. Spent 270US to repair it. I really hope it doesn't happen again. I really do love this amp because of it's power.
The amps are solid, I'm still running an original jp 63, but the bass knobs? I know corners have to be cut a bit to bring the best at an affordable price but me personally, don't need the bass knobs, nothing beats feeling the temp when the amps are in reach and using a voltage meter
I have my amps under the front seats but I'm always using the AC blowing to front and foots (dont know how's called in English) the cold air enters one side and the fans exhaust the heat.
I'm rocking JP34ab, and JP23v2 in a 05 Subaru outback pushing 3 skar zvx8s. There is no question these are the best Amps for the price in the market. I work for Custom Sounds and Tint we sell Rockford JL Kicker. Three of the biggest names in car audio. Hands down the JP amp are on par with all of these brands amps in SQ and Power. I recommend JP amps anytime anywhere.
As a former professional installer understand everything that you said in your video as far as consumers not being on the up-and-up and knowledgeable about power supplies as well as installation. Yes there is a fan on the bottom of your amplifiers but perhaps you should make the feet Mount taller so that that fan to circulate properly. A minor adjustment that may read your 1% problem. Just a few thoughts from an IASCCA finanlist and former professional installer.
I ran my two jp43’s at half ohm each at 15.5 for months & before then a jp83 at 1 ohm & have had no issues when I’ve had good electrical to power em. Most I’ve seen that have blown don’t have enough electrical to support or running bad loc’s that send bad signal as long as you got fans when running em half ohm & at 15.5 & have the electrical it’ll be fine 👊🏽
I’ve got a JP8 and had it on a 12” Savard HiQ 12” dual 2 ohm sub. I live in south Texas and quit often in the summer would see the temp on the remote show 120 degrees when I would first turn it on. Even after playing at high volumes near clipping for 30 minutes, the highest temp I EVER saw was 126 degrees. The amp was mounted under my seat on 1/2” risers to allow air flow under the amp for the fan. LOVE the JP amps and eventually will be buying more!!! Thanks JP!!!!!
Is there a certain amount of rule of thumb for height that you should space the amps up at? Is 1/4" enough? Or are we talking an inch or whatever it may be.
.5% of 1/2 million is 2500. The small percentage will still be a large enough number to seem bad ,, but it’s quite the opposite..nothing is perfect .. and most installations are less than ideal conditions. I DO NOT consider myself a JP fan BUT I am a fan of the JP amps build quality, innovation and value. My next amp will be a JP amp as long as their standards remain where they are or greater.
These amps make A LOT of power and are very compact.... That means heat. And many people run below one ohm. That's even MORE heat. Put fans on your amps. :)
Mine went into temp protect at 130 degrees today I moved it to a new spot and just didn’t have enough airflow so it’s my fault love my jp23 kinda wish I went with a 33 tho
i have a jp 10.4 running my mids and highs and a jp83 running my 2 , 12in. american bass xfl 1222 wired at 2 ohms final impedance and i have had zero (0) issues ...my amps are out of sunlight and elevated approx. 1 inch from mounting surface i have 2 fans from an old pepsi refrigerator in a push pull config., as well as quality wiring and running an 80 ah lithium and a high quality mtx-49 interstate agm battery in factory location. and setting your gains correctly is another biggie in your amp or amps heat department, i can truly say these jp amplifiers are as good as it gets just be mindful in your setting up and you'll be fine and bumpin' for years to come. great work jp.....dj kenske phila., pa.
Just got my JP83 installed finally 2 days ago. Been beating on it HARD wired to 1ohm and it's not gone above 90 I think at all. Hardly warm to the touch. Got it spaced properly, wired properly, powered properly, and set properly. Not under powered, and clipping it to the moon. Common sense will go far, but unfortunately it isn't so common nowadays.. This thing is beastly if you feed and care for the beast properly. 😈
Hey Mr. Price. I’ve heard way more good than anything bad about your products. I can’t speak to your products because I haven’t been able to get any of them yet. But the next time I’m able to upgrade, I’ll be buying your amps. But I have to ask if you build boxes. I have one that’s made for my truck that houses 2 12’s but I’m sure the box could be made to house 2 12’s & 2 10’s. Can you help with that? My truck is a regular can ram 1500.
I’ve had a Jp43 on 2 Skar Zvx 12s and maybe I shouldn’t admit this but they’ve been wired to a Quarter/0.25 ohms for about a whole year now. I did blow one sub but the amp has been outperforming and exceeding my expectations since the day I bought it and it’s still going strong on 0.25 ohms!! No other amps I’ve ever had will do this especially for an extended period of time and not blow. I keep it cool with a marine fan and don’t exceed temps over 52 degrees Celsius or around 130 Fahrenheit. I know my amp placement isn’t the best but it is spaced and I would post any pics anyone would want to see. The only issues I’ve ever had is one with an internal fan on my Jp34ab making a slight noise when it first powers on in colder weather which is kinda odd imo. The second issue was when the one time I did think I had a problem with my Jp43 and contacted you guys with my warranty claim and described basically every issue I was having and all the steps of trouble shooting I did… I never received a response from anyone at D4S with any useful information, trouble shooting steps I may have missed or anything even when my product was still under warranty 😑 D4S has righted a wrong order for me before but this experience left me wandering what the true intentions of the D4S brand is now. I was under the impression it is was for us the customers but it seems like it’s evolving into just another company that only cares about one thing and that is it’s products’ profitability.
Had JP23's and JP234's in multiple vehicles and I have them in family members vehicles who are irresponsible - they run it 45c nonstop refuse to let me put an additional fan they keep clipping it too, it never goes into protect and has never given any of us an issue. Amazing amplifiers Really hoping my JP63 treats me as well as all the JP23's have, thousand for an amp is a lot for the average joe, but the power you advertise and the quality of your amplifiers and customer service... I would never go anywhere else. Team Down4Sound for life, please keep up all the excellent stuff that has been going on at D4S!!!!!
I absolutely love my JP23 amplifier it's a really good amp and as long as you take care of it properly it will last you and that goes with pretty much everything else
Need a video showing how long the amps can run when properly installed compared to how they’re being ran in some of these systems I.E. proper electrical proper feet spacers crammed into tight spots direct sunlight
I'm not only considering an extra battery, but I'm also going to hack my alternator to boost its output to 250 amp. Two days ago I picked up a set of dual 510e DD subs/ported enc./1100d w/1ohm setup, and I'm considering some D4S 65 v2 w/JP84 @ 4ohm bridged w/x** 3" tweeters in a chuchero box for a mid-sized SUV at this very moment. I have the D4S devices sitting in the cart while determining if I want super tweeters or horns... Possibly a single super tweeter w/a single horn?
JP glad you post these videos man it shows how much you care about your brand and what your customers mean to you. People always want to whine and cry but there the same one who don’t follow the boundaries you have set for them.
It's prolly b-cuz they wired it wrong or it's basically fault of the installation.... I personally love ur products J.P. & will continue to support ur business brother!!! 🙌💪🙌
Bro I've had a JP63 pushing a 3515 deaf bonce. For over a year as my daily driver pushing it hard every time I drive it and I haven't had a single problem with this amp props to JP amps
Many don't realize when they shrink these amps down in the newer versions with increased output you are going to have a hotter amp. Best to add a fan rack.
This may sound dumb.... but why do you not build a product that solves these issues for the average dork that wants good sound? Like build the amp with enough stand off to allow the proper airflow, and then maybe further with one with cooling fins, a shade, and a fan to force cooling? Like it seems counter intuitive to give this advice but noy build it into your own products. Am I wrong?
He may do that I. The future , but you can be sure these type of people don't accept any accountability for their install. They buy jp amp because they know it's probably the greatest amp out there but they refuse to do upgrades to assure proper function . Should jp require people to show a recipt that they have an upgraded alternator. Or no sale? No of course not!! His job is to sell a good product and give the best advice for usage , it's up to you as a buyer to do the necessary steps or you more than likely will have problems. Who are these people consulting with before undertaking such a build
Let be honest my co worker had the first jp amps in hi car and it work crazy good still to this day no problems love d4sounds best place best products in the game
@@THELIFEOFPRICE unfortunately I blew a second one, The first one was quick cause it was refurbished second one I was playing for a long time then puff smoke same spot as other amp this time I had dual 1/0 grounds and power, the cables are not hot just the amp with 1.2" spacers and ac vent aimed at it, I Dont Know what I'm doing wrong loved the way it sounded
Hey jp, I have to voice my opinion on this. Haters are always gonna hate PERIOD!! Someone has a bad experience with an amplifier. Never figure out the cause first, just quick to blame! My jp23 gets hot and goes into protect all the time, so I turn it off, let air get to it, and bass some more. People need to be taken to school on how to properly use it versus abuse it!! Just sayin'!!!
I ran my JP8 for over a year every single day with no over heating issues lol most ppl I see blow their D4S amps wire below the required ohm loads and don’t even have the electrical to run them that low 😅🔊
Proper voltage eliminates almost all amplifier issues... heck I ran my Orion SPLX 3000.1 at .25 ohm and it barely got warm powered using a 400 amp alternator 2 XS 3400D batteries and a bank of supercaps.
I have jp8. Got used I got a wire kit and it said ofc. And not any brand it was actually not even 4 gauge that it stated. And it was cca. My amp on the Fresno summer days of 110 and up has been hottest 160F. I didn’t know it was cca until a few days ago and I’m not changing out I also got stock alt big 3 with a 07 Corolla. Bass was hitting preset good but instant voltage drop of a couple volts while idle and bass on.
As a person who has built his own amp in High School, repaired them and installed them and also sold them, YES a amp can do weird things for any reason, I just had a amp go into PRT an sent in under warranty, there was no fault found, which was weird!~
Two reasons an amp overheats improper wiring and not venting. Two washers under one side and I've never been able to get over 86 degrees in 60 degree weather I've taken a 8 hour road trip full tilt under clip and never overheated. Most stout line of amps ever! Love my JP13
Off of the subject kind of, I’m purchasing 2 JP 23s and a 4 channel, everything will be perfect…now I know you can’t mount amps rights side up that’s a no no but can JP amp be mounted that way, I’m sure I can’t but I can’t find that answer on these amps, I was curious because I love them plexiguts!!
I'm glad that you made this video. Every install place here in Minnesota speak real poorly about your amps and they don't wanna even install them. They try to sell you mainstream like kicker or JL audio. We need more places that know the good in your product and stop hating on your stuff. I'm running the jp23 v2 in my Atlas and never had an issue with anything. It's loud and the sound quality is amazing. Good job on your amps JP. F the haters. Keep doing what you do and keep being number 1!
I haven't had an issue but I also know what I'm doing I almost always run an external fan which really you need to do with any brand if you're going to be wiring low and pushing the amp to its limits
I live in AZ where it get to 120 degrees and well the most i do is when mounting my amplifier to car i used washers on each corner so the amp is about half an inch above the wood im using and ive never had an amp overheat or blow up lol no fans needed
Abuse is not use. Running my JP23 in phoenix and somedays the bass knob says 136 degrees... when using it it cools in about 20 mins to under 90 degrees. Don't run low ohm loads and push everything to the max and heat wont be an issue. These are good amps... Will def get my business again, I promote using them to all my customers 👍
Or buy a fkn orion n get fked if ur amp has an issue at 135 degrees lmfao smart comment smfh
I've been into car audio since the old school Liner Power, Zapco, & Sherwood days. All of my cars have had upgraded stereos installed by myself. So I decided to pick up and Installed one of these JP2300v2 with the back plexiglass facing into the car running at 2ohms pushing two 12's kicker Q-Class. This amp gets down, hits the deep low notes beautifully, runs cool and never has overhead. I previously was using a Brazilian smart 3k bass and never even came close to the power and clean output that this JP2300v2 puts out. Solid amp great product, and it shipped out immediately 👍🏼
Bullshit
i have two q 12s with a qbomb box at .5 ohms and its overheating fast
“You would be in protect too in 125 degree heat” I almost died lol. These are solid amps. A lot of times it’s user error.
I couldn't believe that he said that, but imo it was much needed, because some people are just plain morons and don't know basis 101.
Never even heard there was a issue. Just recommended an amp combo to a cousin. Keep up the good work JP 💪🏻
Maybe you can start including spacers with your amps. Atleast an added option from the dropdown menu for extra few bucks.

JP keep doing your best. I love the beat down of your amps.
I’ve been pounding my JP23 for about a year now. Never overheated, not once. I’ve had no problems or complaints.
1. Never has my JP 33 gotten hot behind the rear seat of a ford superduty crewcab on an amp rack. Have only had 1 issue with my JP33 and the amp still played. The Bluetooth module in the amp for the bass knob failed. I'm waiting for it to get back in the next day or two to push the 12 zv6 again. D4S customer service was more than helpful and right on getting the problem fixed. Thanks D4S
I have seen a good product with all negative reviews many times, I didn't believe the reviews and ended up buying the product with absolutely no problems.

I can understand the summer months can be brutal on aftermarket electronics but if I’m replacing the Oem amp I want to be sure the replacement will out perform the original and remain out of sight and still work during moderate to high volumes within reason?
I never thought of using external fans for my amp thanks for the info

That's pretty much the most simple thing to get right yet people so often don't even pull up a Google image to learn about how to hook their stuff up before they go to plugging shit in and turning knobs lol
Which is better JP40+JP630 or two LTO 6.0s? Can’t decide what I want to go with and can’t find hardly any reviews on the JP line of battery’s
I've been running a jp 13 for over a solid year on top of my underseat sub box seat sits right on top of it with some spacers and hasn't given me any issues yet I hear the fan always on but doesn't get hot.
I bought a refurbished jp33 and I've never had any trouble with it. Honestly it's by far the best quality Amp I've ever owned. Hey jp you know you're doing things right the more haters you'll have. Keep doing your thing bro. Thank you for the quality amps you provide.
I have a MM1002 jammed in the front fairing of my Harley running to 2 ohm speakers and I haven't had heat issues. I run it at highway volume for hours in Florida.
do these work or do you have an amp that works up in the 16 volt range thats been the main reason i havent got a jp 43 or 63
One question I've always had is if some of the bass knobs temperature readings are off. I got 3 jp8s 1 jp23 1jp95 and the 2 in one vehicle one will read 90 degrees and the other will read 130 degrees. I checked them with a temperature gun externally and both read 85 so I'm assuming the bass knob is off because they shouldn't be a 30 or more degree difference between the 2. And the jp23 is off in another car that also sits in the same garage as the one with 2 jp8s and a jp8⁴.
Just a question but out of the 10 amps I have in total all the knobs read different degrees from the proper temperature that they are.
I have a JP8 and a JP84 combo for 11 months now. On the JP8 I have the gain maxed out. I back off when the clip light comes on. No overheating at all. These amps are awesome. I just bought a JP95T for my second vehicle. Had for one week now it is awesome as well so far.
i just got 1 of jp23 v2 and i live in hot contry so when im runnin music loud i see temp up to 47c is that hot for that amp or should i hook up external fan?
I'll say this. JP is the only person addressing any issue like this anywhere really. People don't realize, there are only a hand full of companies that make car audio components. Companies like JP go to these companies and put their name on it. D4S just chooses from a line the company likes. Then the real company that makes the amp or whatever. Just puts the name on it. It's possible that D4S amps and Memphis amps come from the same company. I just chose Memphis as an example.
My Jp23v2 is running strong, honestly I love this amp more than my old school Lanzar amps! My Jp23v2 never over heats, doesn't doing anything my push my EVL'S to the maxx!!!! Keep doing good work JP!💪🏾💯
My bass knob is junk
It's amazing how people will ignore the warning labels that specifically say must have proper electrical to run this amp but they spend time commenting false bs on social media. Read the directions and maybe the product info before you buy something goes a long way..
Dude, ive been running my JP8 V1 since you did your original 1200 run. Over a year and i love this thing! Havent gotten over 109 degrees even on 90 degree days jamming hard. Haters are haters.
I’ve seen my JP8 hit 126 degrees, but that is in the summer in south Texas and only after a long 30 minute session at near clipping! It was warm to the touch, but not nearly as hot as other amps I’ve owned.
Ive had mine hit 148 degrees but it still didnt protect
JP what’s the name of the outro song you use to play on you videos?
I definitely agree thought I've seen some jp amps have failures on good set up if set right with good power voltage set properly they can be good a amps
i have had my JP23 V2 for a little over a month and i love this amp. it does get hot, i have my Jp23 in direct wind on a mp rack above the sub box. i also have 3 half inch rubber grommets in each corner to raise the amp off the rack to help the fan on the bottom breath. as far as temp outside when the amp gets hot it was around 100f. my amp has never shut off due to it being hot tho. i have 2 15in skars 4ohm dvc wired to the amp at 1ohm. i have done the big 3 upgrade, and even before i did the big 3 i didn't have an issue with the lights dimming when the bass was hitting hard, and believe me the JP23 V2 will get your subs hitting hard asf did i mention i love my amp? lmmfao was thinking about getting another JP23 v2 and 2 more 15in skars. i also have a 1995 rockford fosgate punch 200ix pushing my 4 skar 6.5s in my doors.
The haters are going to hate no stopping that lol. JP I love my D4s amp please keep up the good work my friend
will a jp33 be ok on a .67 ohm
Some things will never seem to change. SMH be thankful that JP is willing to give you a quality product at a better than reasonable price.
Anything mass produced is obviously prone to failure... Failure is a part of the learning and growing process... There are reasons for failure, and THATS what needs to be addressed... Keep doing what your doing JP... Even Haters have their own way not following thru the process...😎
I have a jp23 1.5 and I have not had a problem yet temperatures never got over 110 degrees. I have never even heard my fan which kicks on at 120
Been saying this! Most the pple bashing brands or misinforming DO NOT HAVE PROPER ELECTRICAL to use this equipment! Love your videos!
Loving the d4s amps so far. No complaints
The fact that most users on forums I've seen have pushed these well below their ohm rating sets a huge point for the durability of these amps. Don't do this if you don't know what you are doing and don't want a possible failure. I am looking to put a JP95 in my Ford Maverick because the power to price ratio is amazing. Love the color options and the old US amp designs. I will be purchasing soon, and think your products look great, may even give the 3 way comps a try!
I have been running a jp33 for a year now and it originally gave me problems. I was later able to diagnose it to be an electrical issue with my car. The amp had no problems. These amps push some serious power ⚡️
Love my JP 95, setup properly with solid electrical this amp just plays beautifully!
I had a JP8 and the JP84 and the only problem I had with mine is the speaker terminal. The threads pulled out of the aluminum.
I ran my JP63 at 15.5v, the power supply and mosfets blew less than a month brand new. However I replaced the mosfets and power supply. Spent 270US to repair it. I really hope it doesn't happen again. I really do love this amp because of it's power.
The amps are solid, I'm still running an original jp 63, but the bass knobs? I know corners have to be cut a bit to bring the best at an affordable price but me personally, don't need the bass knobs, nothing beats feeling the temp when the amps are in reach and using a voltage meter
I have my amps under the front seats but I'm always using the AC blowing to front and foots (dont know how's called in English) the cold air enters one side and the fans exhaust the heat.
I'm rocking JP34ab, and JP23v2 in a 05 Subaru outback pushing 3 skar zvx8s. There is no question these are the best Amps for the price in the market. I work for Custom Sounds and Tint we sell Rockford JL Kicker. Three of the biggest names in car audio. Hands down the JP amp are on par with all of these brands amps in SQ and Power. I recommend JP amps anytime anywhere.
What's up brother been a min, screw the haters, all amps can blow or overheat. Dudes today run everything at .5 ohms expecting them to not overheat
I have 4 D4S amps and I push them 2 the limit every day and I never. Ever have a problem they are great amps . One of the best brand I've used.
Can we do a video on the new JP mini 4channel and over view
As a former professional installer understand everything that you said in your video as far as consumers not being on the up-and-up and knowledgeable about power supplies as well as installation. Yes there is a fan on the bottom of your amplifiers but perhaps you should make the feet Mount taller so that that fan to circulate properly. A minor adjustment that may read your 1% problem. Just a few thoughts from an IASCCA finanlist and former professional installer.
They are spaced up but if people have like really thick carpet it won’t matter. Plus it will make them easier to break. Always a trade off :/
Im running a jp23 on my home system running 1 15. Now i want the jp 83 for my 3 15s in my truck
I ran my two jp43’s at half ohm each at 15.5 for months & before then a jp83 at 1 ohm & have had no issues when I’ve had good electrical to power em. Most I’ve seen that have blown don’t have enough electrical to support or running bad loc’s that send bad signal as long as you got fans when running em half ohm & at 15.5 & have the electrical it’ll be fine 👊🏽
I’ve got a JP8 and had it on a 12” Savard HiQ 12” dual 2 ohm sub. I live in south Texas and quit often in the summer would see the temp on the remote show 120 degrees when I would first turn it on. Even after playing at high volumes near clipping for 30 minutes, the highest temp I EVER saw was 126 degrees.
The amp was mounted under my seat on 1/2” risers to allow air flow under the amp for the fan.
LOVE the JP amps and eventually will be buying more!!! Thanks JP!!!!!
When I do my next system I'm getting d4s amps for sure ❤
Is there a certain amount of rule of thumb for height that you should space the amps up at? Is 1/4" enough? Or are we talking an inch or whatever it may be.
If there was they should’ve put taller feet on them. A better design would allow air to flow from heat sink to heat sink
.5% of 1/2 million is 2500. The small percentage will still be a large enough number to seem bad ,, but it’s quite the opposite..nothing is perfect .. and most installations are less than ideal conditions. I DO NOT consider myself a JP fan BUT I am a fan of the JP amps build quality, innovation and value. My next amp will be a JP amp as long as their standards remain where they are or greater.
These amps make A LOT of power and are very compact.... That means heat.
And many people run below one ohm. That's even MORE heat.
Put fans on your amps. :)
Mine went into temp protect at 130 degrees today I moved it to a new spot and just didn’t have enough airflow so it’s my fault love my jp23 kinda wish I went with a 33 tho
i have a jp 10.4 running my mids and highs and a jp83 running my 2 , 12in. american bass xfl 1222 wired at 2 ohms final impedance and i have had zero (0) issues ...my amps are out of sunlight and elevated approx. 1 inch from mounting surface i have 2 fans from an old pepsi refrigerator in a push pull config., as well as quality wiring and running an 80 ah lithium and a high quality mtx-49 interstate agm battery in factory location. and setting your gains correctly is another biggie in your amp or amps heat department, i can truly say these jp amplifiers are as good as it gets just be mindful in your setting up and you'll be fine and bumpin' for years to come. great work jp.....dj kenske phila., pa.
Just got my JP83 installed finally 2 days ago. Been beating on it HARD wired to 1ohm and it's not gone above 90 I think at all. Hardly warm to the touch. Got it spaced properly, wired properly, powered properly, and set properly. Not under powered, and clipping it to the moon. Common sense will go far, but unfortunately it isn't so common nowadays.. This thing is beastly if you feed and care for the beast properly. 😈
Mine just started to over heat idk if it’s my amp of something else
Hey Mr. Price. I’ve heard way more good than anything bad about your products. I can’t speak to your products because I haven’t been able to get any of them yet. But the next time I’m able to upgrade, I’ll be buying your amps. But I have to ask if you build boxes. I have one that’s made for my truck that houses 2 12’s but I’m sure the box could be made to house 2 12’s & 2 10’s. Can you help with that? My truck is a regular can ram 1500.
I’ve had a Jp43 on 2 Skar Zvx 12s and maybe I shouldn’t admit this but they’ve been wired to a Quarter/0.25 ohms for about a whole year now. I did blow one sub but the amp has been outperforming and exceeding my expectations since the day I bought it and it’s still going strong on 0.25 ohms!! No other amps I’ve ever had will do this especially for an extended period of time and not blow. I keep it cool with a marine fan and don’t exceed temps over 52 degrees Celsius or around 130 Fahrenheit. I know my amp placement isn’t the best but it is spaced and I would post any pics anyone would want to see. The only issues I’ve ever had is one with an internal fan on my Jp34ab making a slight noise when it first powers on in colder weather which is kinda odd imo. The second issue was when the one time I did think I had a problem with my Jp43 and contacted you guys with my warranty claim and described basically every issue I was having and all the steps of trouble shooting I did… I never received a response from anyone at D4S with any useful information, trouble shooting steps I may have missed or anything even when my product was still under warranty 😑 D4S has righted a wrong order for me before but this experience left me wandering what the true intentions of the D4S brand is now. I was under the impression it is was for us the customers but it seems like it’s evolving into just another company that only cares about one thing and that is it’s products’ profitability.
Had JP23's and JP234's in multiple vehicles and I have them in family members vehicles who are irresponsible - they run it 45c nonstop refuse to let me put an additional fan they keep clipping it too, it never goes into protect and has never given any of us an issue. Amazing amplifiers
Really hoping my JP63 treats me as well as all the JP23's have, thousand for an amp is a lot for the average joe, but the power you advertise and the quality of your amplifiers and customer service... I would never go anywhere else. Team Down4Sound for life, please keep up all the excellent stuff that has been going on at D4S!!!!!
I absolutely love my JP23 amplifier it's a really good amp and as long as you take care of it properly it will last you and that goes with pretty much everything else
Dude for real me too. I have two jp23’s strapped to .5 and they only ever got too hot when it was like July and August on a 95+ degree day lol.
Need a video showing how long the amps can run when properly installed compared to how they’re being ran in some of these systems I.E. proper electrical proper feet spacers crammed into tight spots direct sunlight
I"ve been running my JP23 at 0.5 ohm for over a year and I have never had a problem with and I've never seen it get over 105 degrees
I'm not only considering an extra battery, but I'm also going to hack my alternator to boost its output to 250 amp. Two days ago I picked up a set of dual 510e DD subs/ported enc./1100d w/1ohm setup, and I'm considering some D4S 65 v2 w/JP84 @ 4ohm bridged w/x** 3" tweeters in a chuchero box for a mid-sized SUV at this very moment. I have the D4S devices sitting in the cart while determining if I want super tweeters or horns... Possibly a single super tweeter w/a single horn?
Have you taken any gear over the years? Been a lifetime natty?
MY JP 77 HAS DUAL FANS AND DOESN'T DIP BELOW 14V FULL TILT. EXCEEDING MY EXPECTATIONS SO FAR! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BROTHER!
JP glad you post these videos man it shows how much you care about your brand and what your customers mean to you. People always want to whine and cry but there the same one who don’t follow the boundaries you have set for them.
It's prolly b-cuz they wired it wrong or it's basically fault of the installation.... I personally love ur products J.P. & will continue to support ur business brother!!! 🙌💪🙌
Oh yeah BTW I run mine on .5 ohm and still no issues... But I also have a lot of COMMON SENSE LOL
Bro I've had a JP63 pushing a 3515 deaf bonce. For over a year as my daily driver pushing it hard every time I drive it and I haven't had a single problem with this amp props to JP amps
Many don't realize when they shrink these amps down in the newer versions with increased output you are going to have a hotter amp. Best to add a fan rack.
I’ve had mine for a few years now and no problems. But I don’t run them maxed out either.
This may sound dumb.... but why do you not build a product that solves these issues for the average dork that wants good sound? Like build the amp with enough stand off to allow the proper airflow, and then maybe further with one with cooling fins, a shade, and a fan to force cooling? Like it seems counter intuitive to give this advice but noy build it into your own products. Am I wrong?
*not
He may do that I. The future , but you can be sure these type of people don't accept any accountability for their install. They buy jp amp because they know it's probably the greatest amp out there but they refuse to do upgrades to assure proper function . Should jp require people to show a recipt that they have an upgraded alternator. Or no sale? No of course not!! His job is to sell a good product and give the best advice for usage , it's up to you as a buyer to do the necessary steps or you more than likely will have problems. Who are these people consulting with before undertaking such a build
thanks for proving my point!@@jerrybryant5052
what amps do
So redesign an entire product line that for 99.99% of the people work amazing and trouble free for the .01% of idiots that cause their own problems.
I really want to try one of these amps
I just ordered a Jp3 for my 2 sundown audio subs today
Let be honest my co worker had the first jp amps in hi car and it work crazy good still to this day no problems love d4sounds best place best products in the game
Would you consider a cyber 12k stock Alternator enough electrical support for the jp23 @ 1ohm
Plenty 😊
@@THELIFEOFPRICE unfortunately I blew a second one,
The first one was quick cause it was refurbished second one I was playing for a long time then puff smoke same spot as other amp this time I had dual 1/0 grounds and power, the cables are not hot just the amp with 1.2" spacers and ac vent aimed at it, I Dont Know what I'm doing wrong loved the way it sounded
Hey jp, I have to voice my opinion on this. Haters are always gonna hate PERIOD!! Someone has a bad experience with an amplifier. Never figure out the cause first, just quick to blame! My jp23 gets hot and goes into protect all the time, so I turn it off, let air get to it, and bass some more. People need to be taken to school on how to properly use it versus abuse it!! Just sayin'!!!
I ran my JP8 for over a year every single day with no over heating issues lol most ppl I see blow their D4S amps wire below the required ohm loads and don’t even have the electrical to run them that low 😅🔊
Need extra battery and caps or alternator pow3r to make power or all three
Proper voltage eliminates almost all amplifier issues... heck I ran my Orion SPLX 3000.1 at .25 ohm and it barely got warm powered using a 400 amp alternator 2 XS 3400D batteries and a bank of supercaps.
I have jp8. Got used I got a wire kit and it said ofc. And not any brand it was actually not even 4 gauge that it stated. And it was cca. My amp on the Fresno summer days of 110 and up has been hottest 160F. I didn’t know it was cca until a few days ago and I’m not changing out I also got stock alt big 3 with a 07 Corolla. Bass was hitting preset good but instant voltage drop of a couple volts while idle and bass on.
My OG jp23 v1 still going strong after 4 or so years. Yeah it's get warm in summer but that's what fans are for😅
As a person who has built his own amp in High School, repaired them and installed them and also sold them, YES a amp can do weird things for any reason, I just had a amp go into PRT an sent in under warranty, there was no fault found, which was weird!~
Two reasons an amp overheats improper wiring and not venting. Two washers under one side and I've never been able to get over 86 degrees in 60 degree weather I've taken a 8 hour road trip full tilt under clip and never overheated. Most stout line of amps ever! Love my JP13
Off of the subject kind of, I’m purchasing 2 JP 23s and a 4 channel, everything will be perfect…now I know you can’t mount amps rights side up that’s a no no but can JP amp be mounted that way, I’m sure I can’t but I can’t find that answer on these amps, I was curious because I love them plexiguts!!
I'm glad that you made this video. Every install place here in Minnesota speak real poorly about your amps and they don't wanna even install them. They try to sell you mainstream like kicker or JL audio. We need more places that know the good in your product and stop hating on your stuff. I'm running the jp23 v2 in my Atlas and never had an issue with anything. It's loud and the sound quality is amazing. Good job on your amps JP. F the haters. Keep doing what you do and keep being number 1!
That’s where I come in wsp Minnesota sundowns user 2jp63 wired .5 ohms the caps blow on them sometimes but I got my warrenty
I haven't had an issue but I also know what I'm doing I almost always run an external fan which really you need to do with any brand if you're going to be wiring low and pushing the amp to its limits
I live in AZ where it get to 120 degrees and well the most i do is when mounting my amplifier to car i used washers on each corner so the amp is about half an inch above the wood im using and ive never had an amp overheat or blow up lol no fans needed
What kind of gear do you and Jacob use? 💉 I need some
Good info
I have 2 jp 23 v.2 amps strapped at .5 ohm each to 2 sundown 12's 150db+ and I play them about 2 hours everyday without any issues
I have a JP 23v2 pushing 4 8’s all day in California summer heat with no issues. Haters gunna hate.
My dad recently got his hearing back. He wanted to put a 500w system in his car. So i got him a JP3 signed by JP himself. He's more than happy.
