Solid value for a true 1000 watt, 5-channel amp with remote subwoofer level control. Great video as always!

Phenomenal amp. Used a basic 2 channel pac high to low converter in a ford escape, to connect to this.

Using 4 a6886r 6x8s on the front two channels, for a 2 ohm load. 120hz-up

1 alpine type x 12, at 2 ohm.

And 2 jvc 8" house speaker subwoofers for 60hz-250hz at 3 ohms each on the rear channels. Not needed if you dont listen to rock, and need accurate higher bass frequencies.

Phenomenal sound.

No surprise, pioneer makes a lot of good products

LITTLE SECRET: THIS CLASS D BOARD IS 1OHM STABLE(SAME AMP AS 9605) This whole family are powerhouses(8601, 8604, 9601, 9605 and the secret Asian market 9604)

Just got this installed about a month ago.
Excellent amp in a small package.
Driving 4 Polk db 6.5 coaxials, and a infinity kappa 1200 in a tiny little 500 abarth.

Earth shattering sound in that thing!

from experience ...such an excellent value and really durable circuitry

[junglistsoldier]

Not only what @Robert Cook said but, 16.9 volts is why it over achieved. Although, I am still impressed enough to get one. I'm about to get back into car audio and to find a good 5 channel at such a great price from a reputable company is awesome.

This is by FAR the BEST VALUE / Performance 5 channel amp. I got this for $250, and it far outperforms its own specs. Also, I am highly skeptical that a $1000 JL Audio amp is actually any better than this $250 Pioneer. Why? Because JL Audio is a boutique little outfit that simply doesn't have the deep technical bench NOR the production volume to make these amps any better than Pioneer, a mainstream, but quality outfit.

I got rid of jl audio amp for my indoor speakers and alpine amp for my sub and installed this amp. All i can say it was the best choice ever.

[redduty]

great review, thanks. been planning on the Alpine PDX-V9 for my boat, but this being half the price has me tempted. was glad to find some actual third-party testing done, thanks again.

[RDERA]

I see you swooped in there to test this first!!! Good stuff. A little bit of clip never hurt anybody 😑, I imagine the majority of people running this amp will be building a decent budget system and for the price it’s a top contender for sure. I agree with you, the way the market is going, everyone’s 5 channel should be stable down to one ohm. Even if it doesn’t do more power, at least be stable to wire down lower.

[markmiranda]

I have old model, have for over 3 years, still going strong, all wired at 4 ohm, even my sub, I have jl audio 8 ohm sub wired in 4 ohms

[dportkid]

Been waiting to see this video. I’m impressed.

[coreybramwell]

This amp is the closest to what I was looking for. Most 5 Channels with similar power are longer and won’t fit under a seat very well.

[charleswp]

Amazing amp at this price point, pioneer is generally pretty reliable also so that another big plus.

[RobertCookcx]

The scope was showing a clipped signal. Bring the output down a tad and give us a valid number.

[donearl]

Works fine for me.and saves on space👍👍❗

[Josh-kmvc]

Have you tested the Hi-Res DX975 yet? Perhaps the better components gives it a bit of an edge and some overachieving

[rmblwgn]

Pioneer you're out of your goddamn mind for not coming out with a new 2019 SPL/championship ProSeries subwoofer line. offer them for $100-$200 in 10, 12 and 15 inch with 700-1000 rms and they would sell like crazy

[carrolala]

does it get really hot? which one gets hotter the x802-5 keenwood or pioneer gm-d9705?
