- One of my favorite amps I have tested was the Dual XPR82d. It was a bonkers value at $59.99 at Walmart. Well Dual Electronics said hold me beer for the reboot! This monoblock from their Jensen line is rated at 600W x1 @1ohm and can be had at any Walmart location. Does it hold true to spec like the old Dual XPR's... or is a straight bust.

If only they would have added a way to connect to stream via BT...maybe the next version? No doubt these amps are a top value and although I don't usually recommend extended warranty's, on this one it's a no brainer. Pay the extra $8, if you don't , then you are the big dummy
big d in the house!
For $98 that extra $8 isn't gonna hurt anything. Definitely worth the purchase
Big d i have this hifonics amp that i would like you to test how can i send it to you?
Big D Wiz yaaaaaaa boyyyyyy that’s what I’m talking about.
Never know they might have a firmware update to do just that.
I'm just happy to see cheaper Amps that have honest ratings.
Walmart cracked down on that really hard. Look at the Power Acoustik RZR2500 they sell, Walmart made them put the RMS ratings on it and put "peak" on the 2500 rating. I have a lot of respect for Walmart as of late, from the farms they own to produce Great Value dairy products to their pharmacies fighting opioid addiction by limiting how many you can get a time to forcing honest ratings on stuff. They're at least trying.
I am old enough to remember when JENSEN coaxial speakers were the hot setup LOL
I had 3" in the dash, 6.5" in the door and 6x9 in the back.
Our age group right..lol
@Tsunauticus III In 1983 Jenson was the ONLY speakers to buy, I installed a many of the Tri-axle 6 x9s, a Killer all around speaker
@Tsunauticus III Jensen speakers go back along time they were used by Fender for guitar amps in the 50's they were top of the line
Those shiny blue ones? Lol
Jensen never disappointed in the 90s. Good budget amps.
I never had any issues with Jensen amps back in the day till I upgraded to the big boy stuff. I'm surprised they are made by dual they were notoriously overrated Jensen has always been solid on their output numbers
@@mesanders1113 They had good power. My buddy bridged a Jensen amp a seperate crossover on a single 12 in a home made bandpass. That sub beat for years til he upgraded the whole system to Pioneer IMP.
I’ve always loved their loudspeakers in guitar amps. They’ve been around a long time. I ran some 6x9’s and in the 90’s that sounded great. These newer dynos make me want to try them in a budget build
@@mesanders1113 both have long since been sold to a korean company.
Facts bro
I can't say enough about the new dual .... Thank you dual for being the ones that do it the right way.
That is indeed a gem. Miss some of my old Jensen amps from the '90s
Great amp for $100. That’s so crazy, and even the terminals and stuff look nice. Great little amp. I can’t wait to see the 4 channel
The laughter mixed with get extended warranty for $8 and wire it at .25 ohm was great. Got me thinking hard tho. Especially when I can get employees discount on one. Great video. ✌
Yea that employee discount mixed with the cheap cost is definitely a nice thing. Id get 8 of them to run the 8 15s in my blazer if I hadn't sold it.
I got the razor 2500 amp he tested there with the warranty. It was under $100 with my wife’s discount and doesn’t clip till almost 800 on 2 ohms
I remember when a Jensen amp twice that size made 150 watts and cost $159.99. That thing is a great value. 👍🏼
lol
Haha love the enthusiasm! Another good dyno RB!
I just ordered two of these with extended warranty for my semi install after watching this video today. ive always like to take budget brands and install as proper as possible to impress myself and show others,(you don't need to spend thousands) to get nice sound...on that same note im a fogate and orion enthusiast...of course I spent high dollar on my daughters newer car..
intro song @ 100% THD disortion
I legit paused and checked my headphones, then played something else to test it wasn't my computer output lol.
yea holy shit lmao. i was confused why my headphones were distorting so badly lol
Wasn't just me. Good.
@@wh4070 Me too, headphones never sounded that horrible before, lol.
@BASSNSANE intro made with jensen audio
Ive been running the two channel for over two months now and it is a really nice amp.
Love your channel. You do some great and honest reviews on these amps. Keep up the great work.
I had a Jensen amp back in the early 90's. I could drive from Norfolk, Va to Macon,Ga and that amp never cut off! Beating the whole 8 hour drive!
Bout time bro loved to see this one. 1 love!!!!
HOLY CRAP!! What a deal for a small setup. Limited space install paradise with this amp. Wonder how well the 4 chan does. NICE! Thanks Ryan.
Cant wait to see the 4 channel on the dyno
Wow, you just saved me $200 and zero warranty, can’t thank you enough, keep them coming
I bought this based on your video. It replaced a Massive Audio BL2-M and is powering a Massive BG8 (loaded enclosure with a GTX84). This amp is so much better than the BL2-M and made the GTX84 come alive! I wanted to love the Massive amp, but I believe they are overrated.
I love, love, love being able to adjust the settings via my phone.
good to see honest ratings, let alone understated
Thats crazy how much power you get for the price. Great dyno test👍
I'm SUPER impressed. Like jesus. That's an AMAZING deal. I need to pick one up.
Posted 5 hours ago and there sold out everywhere. 🤙👍👍👍
I loved this video and in my search for the amp, they're easy to find, I came across the JENSEN XDA94RB Class D 4 Channel Amplifier. Would love to see the dyno on this matching 4 channel! Thanks and keep up the great work!
Awesome video Ryan!!!
3 years later I still have the old 2 channel one in my tow truck running a 10 inch sub, so the longevity isn't bad at all.
I had one of these and having the app is great for adjusting your bass boost on the fly
Need more amp dyno vids your vids are f@@king awesome thanks for your input have made amp purchases because of your vids
Crazy lil powerhouse with cool features and a crazy price!
JENSEN has always been good brand :) I still have a picture with me when I was a teenager next to my old school 10 in Jensen bandpass subwoofer box that you could buy at Target and then my old friend at a Jensen 300 watt amps and it sound and then my old friend at a Jensen 300 watt amp with a built subwoofer enclosure as well it sounded amazing this was all back in 2004.
I just installed one of the 4 channel on a HD Street Glide.... Gotta say I'm impressed....clean 100x4 and the little DSP is great....
It's good to see a amp that cost that little do so much thanks to you Big D companies are getting better
Thanks for another great video!
I saw this amp at Walmart and was just thinking, pshhh more Walmart garbage. I'm blown away!
I was thinking the exact same thing 😂 can't believe how good they actually are.
@@franklinhernandez5255 loll MAN SAW TRASH BAGS IN THE AUDIO ISLE
Bro you need to do all the Jensen and Dual amp! these are fantastic little Amps!
I like the song mang when testing the amps !
spot on I love this video just return the 1000 back in to wal-mart for this one Cause I purchased the extended protection plan this budget amp is a little beast...
Love your vibes man you're funny keep doing your thing!
Actually a cool little amp! Guess we will see how hot it is in a min!
Did it blow the original 25 amp fuses? Noticed it ended up 30 amp fuses. Great video! Guess I'm heading to Walmart for my budget audio!
i agree this amps are badass i got the 1000watt version and that thing blew up my sonys 6x9s its a beast i love this brand i am sticking to it,,,,,
i have both the 4 channel 1000 watt i believe and the mono 1200 and they are great little amps and for cheap too u cant beat it
I’ll be grabbing this amp thanks to this video! Update to follow.
Best amp I've ever owned I love mines and the jensen 12s bang super hard also
Another good review🤙tear it up Jensen, for the win
Unbelievable. Jensen has finally stepped it up.
Great video keep up the good work sir can you dyno the Va1-10000d power acoustic vertigo
I just purchased the smaller one did perfect for a single 12" especially for the $60+ like $6-8 for the extended warranty.
I have mine hooked up to 10" Audio legion 600rms sub. This amp is legit!
I’m running 2 kicker L7 10” 600 watts rms apiece and this little amp is really pushing these things. I’m gonna put another one in so each sub has its own. I’m impressed with this thing. No distortion. With two of them I can run em parallel and get down to the 1 ohm load.
I recently got one gifted from a friend after my old alpine amp died, and I was super skeptical because my alpine was a pretty big amp, and the fusing was way off, brother that thing earned my respect, we were giggling like little girls how stupid loud that amp is, it's hilarious how loud that thing is and to see the reaction if people when they see I'm running a Walmart sub amp🤣🤦🏻♂️
Damn! That little thing packs a punch!
Jensen have always been a ok budget choice. Miles above my first budget amp (kraco)
I used to run 4 Pyramid Pro 10" subs off a $100 Jensen amp from Walmart in my '85 Dodge Daytona. This was damn near 20 years ago though. That shit hit harder than some peoples systems they spent 10x more on. I'm a firm believer that you can make crap sound good if it's installed and setup correctly.
If a cop on the other side of a highway tells you to turn it down over the loudspeaker, you gotta be doing something right.
I literally just bought this amp last night and installed it.... Jensen has outdone themselves. My two 12inch Sony xplod subs are hitting harder than a linebacker blitz. Highly recommend this mono amplifier.
do you have problems with the app? i can’t figure the eq out.... please help
@@michaelschwartz471 recently I have using it no... but sometimes it doesn't work on my Galaxy s21 but it will on my iPhone 8 I dunno. What you mean the EQ? Tell me what you trying to figure out I'll help as much as I can.
When I seen this at Walmart. I laughed. I immediately thought of the cheap sparkomatic and audiovox amplifiers that were the cheapo electronics in my day you could buy at Kmart. And even thought Jensen wasn't even in business anymore! I gotta admit I'm thoroughly impressed with the results and options. I don't know how good the sound quality is. But for everything this amplifier has. It's a really good bargain. Would love to see sound quality on set of subs comparing to kicker, alpine, jbl, mtx,etc. With same power ratings
Great vid. Great amp. Thank you 😎
That really is a kick ass amp for the price!
I got the 4ch version pushing a pair of Morel 502s in the front and a pair of Infinity Ref-5302s in the soundbar of muh jeep and I can honestly say, I am not disappointed.
Does yours do a hissing noise at all? My gains are really low, if I go higher than 7 my speakers distorts so it’s not set high, but I always hear a noise coming from the speakers, even with the RCAs unplugged lol I’m at a loss.
@@jgarcia1925 No hissing noise but if I have it on low volume, like barley audible, the audio signal cuts in and out. Doesn't happen when vol is at normal or high levels so not much of an issue. I'd check your grounds and make sure they are clean. Dirty ground can cause all sorts of interference. Also make sure the RCAs don't run next to the power wire.
good luck.
@@soggyfries4347 thanks. That’s what I’m experiencing exactly. I redid the ground yesterday, didn’t change it. I was then playing with the blower motor setting in the car. I noticed that when on high speeds, that hiss or noise was almost twice as loud and sorta cut in and out. I ended up moving the wiring to the back of the stereo away and the crossover for my speakers as far as I could and noise is most gone. I can’t complain I guess. Sounds like that’s just how these amps are then. I have the exact same issues you mentioned.
@@jgarcia1925 Glad to hear you resolved it.
I got the 600watt,on the Jensen J12W, in a sealed. Sounds great for a car with a baby seat
Thanks for the review! Not a bad amp for the price.
The music during the video intro & dyno was way too loud, to the point of distortion. :(
Its distorted
It sounds ok on a big stereo, cell phones crackle when they play it
Awesome video
I have daily run the Dual series of amps. All I can tell you is that 99.1 % of the populace is going to love it. I ran it for a whole year. NOT A HICCUP! It just works day in and day out. Sounds great while doing it as well. Not one overheat either. And it was just sitting underneath the seat on carpet.
Just buy a few. You will be sad once these are gone. I'm still working out on what parts to upgrade on the amp to Eek a bit more fidelity from the circuit. I'm kind of wanting to send one to BareVids to see if he can work out some upgrades.
I have to agree, if these range of amps had a Bluetooth input? There would be NONE in stock. Still, this leave you the option to install any Outboard DAC of your choice. And this also means it sort of future proofs it. Just what you need. Nothing you don't.
I do worry about the APP not being supported one day via new phones. But that's a LONG way off.
Perfect for my wife's skar ix 10s at 2ohm
when it comes to walmart amps i say go with the power acoustik rzr amp.. i have one driving my skar zvx @ 1ohm for the past year with no issues! and it flexes the hell outta my car
Thats nuts! I never would have thought it would do what it did. I thought maybe close to rated power but not that much over. Maybe they will make a legit 5k for about $300! Lol
I just watched a Big D video on an old RF Power 100.. fuckin thing barely put out about 15W per channel.. @ about 500$. Its crazy how much car audio has changed over the past 30 yes. The power to dollar ratio has significantly changed over the years.. I'm glad to see budget companies like Dual, Rockville, and Hifonics offering some really good gems, for the budget consumer !
Im impressed.
The blue tooth gain and crossover settings is pretty damn cool. Im not sure if big time brands have started doing that yet but thats a really good idea. Plus the adjustable led colors? I like to show off my gear so Im not sure I can display Walmart stuff in my truck, but if Jl or Alpine were to start using these features I would buy them in a quick beat.
So you like it but you won’t display it cause it’s not JL or Alpine?!? That makes no sense!??
@@tobydozier9030 Pretty much
@@samscharp3367 I hear ya ta each their own brotha. Slap a JL sticker on it it’s a win win. I’m telling ya man I was impressed at the flex it put on these 12s.
But I bet you make fun of people that buy Gucci or Louis Vuitton , but can’t rock a Walmart sub cause of your ego 🤣
Jensen is a actual brand name they have been out since the 80s
Jensen always does above rated!, been getting there products since 91, bulletproof, plus cheap!!!
Jensen, never did it rated power in the 90's, that's y they always had max power ratings on the box, hell, that 3 foot long blue 4 channel amp only did 120watts x 2 bridged my sherwood bp 240 was half the size and sounded 100 time's better
thomas bradian, I had a Sherwood amp in 91, in my 77 Granada, on two twelve's, was knocking!, got impounded, an stole my amps back, put the Sherwood in a 78 5 series bmw, on 2 twelve's, in 92, knocking again!, then had a long ass profile amp, long as a skateboard, two channel, in a 77 cutlass, in 96, or 97, on 3 ten's, man, that amp was a beast!, I've had a lot of swap meet amps, but then in 96, I had to graduate to the better stuff, my first Orion amp,in my other 77 cut, since that profile amp, no more cheap stuff!!!
Snagged one of these today for 89$ before tax. Running two ts-w261d4's at 1 ohm. They need 350rms. Worried about the sn/r at 68% but sounds good so far.
Ok. I see you Jensen. Dope ass lil amp. Bananas
Wow what a budget gem
I've had mine for 8mo. now and I'm seriously like wtf?! I had the 2 channel I got for free, my wife uses it in her car now. Been running strong for over a year. Insane quality for the cash.
Ryan coming in hot again, but in a happy way this time 👍
Yea Jensen knocked it out of the park with the wireless dsp, lights but also pre outputs and a hi level input, great job Jensen cus you dont see much of hi level inputs anymore.
Would have never guessed the performance
Cool Jensen. Was hoping for rockville dbcomp4 though.
Back in the 90s, an amp putting up these numbers was extremely expensive and the amp itself was fuckin huge. Jensen made good products back then and today looks like dual/jensen still making good stuff.
Please do the 4 channel ! I really want an 4 Chan for my mids on a budget
Wish I had friends that appreciate good sound systems. I'd share the shiznet out of these vids yo.
Cool amp!
Anyone remember the chrome blue Jensen XS Bass 12in subs? Those subs sure could take a beating and still keep going. Even though they were cheap. Great starter subs. This Jensen amp is an excellent starter amp. Would make a great pairing with those subs if they still made that particular model.
I remember those!! Lol me and my buddy were talking about them not too long ago when I bough the new jensen 600 watt amp to try out. Unfortunately I took it back. Just didnt sound as good as I thought it would. The 1200 may be better though.
Yeah they actually sounded really good musically. They realistically wouldn't handle more than 100 watts. I had six of them in a custom ported box but I didn't have enough amp to push them like they wanted to be pushed. They were probably getting maybe 25 watts a piece. Sounded nice though. This is back before I knew not to push vocals through them. I wrecked that truck, and the bank repoed it so I have no idea what happened to all that shit. I woke up in a hospital a couple days later.
Had 2 of them, still have the one I ran in 3 or4 different cars. Hit like a mf’er in a good box. Paid 40 for 2 subs. And it loves about 500 watts continuously. Had JL’s, Rockford s, JBL’s, and I love a great bargain .
@@shantyburton6854 please!! I blew 2 up with a kenwood 921 that was rated 200w bridged. The tinsel leads melted and the speakers were stuck in excursion. 500watts, surely you jest
@@thomasbradian6367 I had two of those subs. One was put in a sealed box for my friends BMW X5 that I ran a JBL amp to. Was pushing 325 watts RMS at 4 ohms. He never blew it up and it sounded good. I’ve had all sorts of subs over the years, JL, JBL, Kicker. Look I paid 25 for each sub. I would consider that a good deal.
Bought one on marketplace off a guy new in the box for $60 and was hoping I would see a dyno from you or big D! jensen ftw
What happen man ? I sure miss ur videos u was one of the original ! Come back please.
Im very intrigued by the Soundstream Reserve RSM4.1200D. It's a Class D with RCA inputs, super compact and claims 75W RMS x4 @ 4ohms and 300W Peak. Only $140. Would love to see this tested.
Nice headroom on this amp.
beauty amp
I have the 600watt version of this as well as the Jensen 12 from Walmart and imma be honest they hit better then my kicker did
You should test the crunch pk.1000.2, around 300w for 60$. Not to mention it sounds pretty good, just have problems with it overheating when driven too hard.
awesome job Jensen
Gonna snag one of these to push a pair of MTX 2Ω subs at 1Ω rated at 250W RMS each.n this is a perfect match for those 10" drivers.
I love the video and everything you have done, however, a lot of families are being put in very real situations where they can't afford housing or food for their families. If you can, donate to your local food bank and/or local charities to help insure these families that have been put out by covid have a meal to eat or a shelter to stay in. I've been fortunate to be in one of the industries that has seen a rise in production after covid and I think it's more important now than ever to serve our local communities and those in need. Happy holidays to you and yours! Thank you for the incredible content over the years! Much respect and love!
Bro i love these. Used to run this amp and 4 channel jensen amp on my old Colorado. The dsp was great and very easy to understand, i wonder if it could do 2 12s
Dude Jensen EQ in the 90s oh yeah baby
Wow this video is a gem with a gem. It was recommended to me, I clicked on the video, and here I am commenting and subscribed. Dang you google yt alphabet 😂you are very good with the algorithm n whatnot. Kinda scary if you think about it.
Id like to see some amp dynos at 20hz to see which amps hit the lowest lows and which ones fall on their faces. Ive heard pretty powerful amps that push their power at 45hz but can't push anything when I throw a 10 or 15hz signal at them. All of my old school amps pushed really hard at 10-20hz and really made my subs flex. These newer amps you find at places like best buy slam at 40-45hz but suck at ultra low notes. Looking for something that pushes an honest 1200-1300 watts that will still push sub 20hz power. My jbl 1001ez rated at 1000rms pushes an honest 1300 watts but really doesn't push below 20hz like my old 75wx2 phoenix gold XS2150 did on the same subs.
I have the 4 channel and love it
Oh yeah Jensen's was always a good budget amplifier when you were a teenager you had no money but yet you want to have a system in your car
Loved to seen .067 and .5 just to see if dynamic could handle it
