Thank you for another review Man! Was a weird feeling getting so excited about doing a little over 50w rms 😅

[ClementeGalloJr]

I remember my MTX TA 3404 was twice the size with the same output. Times have changed.

Love the compact design who want to downsize from bigger bulkier amps you could get 2 amps to easily tuck away under the seats or whatever the enthusiasm goes for install.

7:20 I'm guessing it's a reference to the RST reporting system for radio communication, with "five nine" being the best sounding quality for voice.

I think these D4S amps are great. I'm glad they're offering multiple colors instead of all the random gaudy bright colors I've seen in older offerings. Nobody wants their system to look like a spilled bag of skittles.

[daltonbough]

The consistency you provide and testing is top notch

[jadsholloway]

I’m so glad I picked up a red one!!! Thank you for the dyno

Long term reviews...

I can confirm his amps hold up. Mine has been rained on several times and is driven to clipping daily for at least 2 hours a day since 2017 or 2018, not sure exactly. I only have 2 of his JP8's. The remote read out part failed 2 years ago, but the gain knob still works. The second amp I got 2 years ago and is also holding up well.

How ever his Blue tooth speaker sucks balls.

The skar amp this amp one is directly competing against I also have. While it was good while it lasted, ultimately one channel failed for no apparent reason. I would recommend not getting the tiny Skar amp. I have not replaced that amp yet but plan to. I have not tried any other Skar amps for long term. I have bought a lot of stuff from this channel. Amp dynos sell amps.

I really like the trend to smaller (size) amps... Opens up a lot of insulation options. Thanks as usual for this awesome video!

[doctormidnight]

Imagine showing an engineer in the 70s an amp that's 90% efficient.

Also Big D, I noticed when you power it up your dyno has a serial number of 0012. Is that really one of the first production models you have there?

[Bassntahoe]

Another good video my friend!! JP is killing the game!!

[HamiltonMechanical]

I love my jp3. Totally found an issue I had for years now (bad connection at battery) thought I was eating amps, but the jp3 gives me that wonderful volt meter... saw the issue right away and man, this thing bangs!

[timbarney]

Awesome looking amp with choice of colors, Fantastic. Thanks for the video Big D.

[jameskyser]

I dig these mini max amps. I have installed 2 in my step sons truck and they are beyond impressive

[jesusc]

It's really cool to see that something so small can be used to put out pretty good power

[TBone-yczg]

I've got a 4 channel and 2 channel D4S MiniMaxx . They get down. And inexpensive to boot. Highly recommend.

[jakebecker]

Love watching these dynos and reviews of amps, really appreciate all the work you put in and going it to us real and to the point. Keep up the good work!

[pinsandscrews]

I could see getting 2 of these for an SQ build. 1 for the mids/highs and one for a pair of 6.5 low profile subs for under the seats.

[andrewschmitt]

I anticipated for this amp to do very well; however, I've had several issues despite setting gains properly and proper wiring.
1. It cuts out at higher volumes with heavy bass
2. Puts out a constant noise to speaker wire inputs (even with RCAs disconnected)

I checked my wiring several times and finally used an oscilloscope to find a 2-4k hz tone constantly running on my tweeters. The noise is there with gain set to 0.
Given that I have to pay to ship back to D4S and no returns I'm giving up.
It may seem like a good deal for power x money but you get what you pay for. I assume not all of these have this issue but in my case it did.
