JBL Partybox 1000 and Partybox 100 review

The JBL Partybox 1000 is an epic speaker, alongside its siblings the Partybox 100 and 300 it's an amazing lineup of sound systems. Trev takes a full look at the 1000 and even goes to new lengths - just for you.

About 20 minutes ago this model fell off a truck traveling about 45 miles per hour while I was walking home from the nearby store the truck kept going so I figured it was trash and removed it from the street. I realized when lifting it and seeing the JBL sign that the plastic bag over it probably meant it was on to protect it from rain. Rolled it home at approximately 1 in the morning and plugged it in, seems to be fine and I'll play with it later today as everyone is sleeping. Pretty impressed with it taking that fall and sliding about 80 feet and rolling over several times.

I just did a little research for everybody as I was actually curious myself. Pertaining what the actual wattage is on these party boxes made by JBL. Amazingly enough even on the website they are stating the peak wattage not the RMS wattage which is extremely unusual for JBL. I suppose the reasoning for this it's not professional DJ equipment it's just something to play around with I suppose however it's a lot of money and it should be stated. So to answer my question and in case anybody else is interested I was able to find out by contacting JBL themselves and speaking to the technical department. The actual RMS wattage of the JBL 300 partybox is 100 Watts RMS. That would mean that it's actually 1/3 of what they are advertising or misrepresenting. The partybox 1000 is rated at 1100 Watts Peak power however the actual wattage it is approximately 330 Watts RMS. They do not state the Distortion rate or the efficiency of the unit so it appears that JBL is definitely slipping when it comes to this line of product. I assume they know they're dealing with wannabe DJs will people that are throwing parties in their backyard and not professional DJs that throw parties for a living. So there you have it folks the actual wattage rating of these party speakers is one third of their actual advertised raining. I hope this is helpful for techno-geeks like myself as I like to know the actual ratings not something that is pulled out of somebody's bum. The same thing goes if anybody out there was going to buy a car amplifier. Those companies on notorious for putting ridiculous wattage ratings on the box and even in the instruction manuals. Years ago when one was buying a piece of stereo equipment the rating of the wattage was always RMS which is basically the continuous output power with limited distortion. When somebody is giving you a peek rating it's meaningless Peak is basically saying add a brief second at a certain sound this is the maximum that they were able to get out of this unit. It doesn't State how much Distortion it will produce or at what tone does it make that rating so pay no mind to those Peak or PMPO. Wattage claims. If possible the best thing to do is use your ear unless you're purchasing it on the internet in which case you're buying something blind. Good luck, God bless, hopefully somebody learn something from my research.🇺🇸🎶👁

My Partybox 1000 is coming tomorrow!!! I am so excited!!! Great video!

My opinion is that having 4 smaller speakers around the room or patio, set on 50 or less % is way better sounding then blowing insanely loud sound from one corner and people are unable to hear themselfes. But of course in some cases, maybe it can be usefull.

I like the 1000 but I just don't want all that buttom stuff at the top. I just want the speaker part. No wrist band either...

[chadpescod-realtor]

For anyone who wants to dj with this with a controller that doesn't have bluetoooth, you'll need to use the 1/4" guitar input. Otherwise when you use the RCA inputs there is a delay from the on-board processor that makes beatmixing awful. I don't know for sure but I think the guitar input bypasses the processor and therfore no delay.

[davewyatt]

Thanks for this!!! I brought my father in-law a 100 he loves it
I want the 1000!!!!

[jesseallen]

Sweet! Glad to see an Aussie review. Price for the 100 is $450 and I can’t seem to find it for $400 yet.

[paulwhat]

In my opinion the best option for most people is 2 X party box 100

It's not 1100W, The speaker draws 150w From the wall therefor it's 150watt. . I'm sick of all the bs marketing. For 1100 genuine watts per speaker you're talking Pro Audio gear.

[RobIdyBob]

Just got the 300, couldn't find em for like a year and bam, in Walmart the other day and grabbed it soon as I got a chance! #hyped

[bababaphotri]

Hi, comparing with Bose L1 pro 16 and JBL 1000, which one is best?

[felipemartinez]

Hi. I really enjoyed your video. My question is can you tws (sync) the Jbl 1000 to the Jbl 300 or Jbl 100? Thank you for your help
