A couple of years ago, Ryan over at Budget Gem or Budget Bust tried out the Dual XPR82D, the $59 Walmart amp that impressed everybody. Today we have the "next gen" version of this amp, branded the Jensen XDA92RB. The amps are very similar except the Jensen model incorporates a Bluetooth module for controlling DSP/LEDs/gain/etc via an app. We'll find out how the app works and if your grandma can use with her Jitterbug cell phone...

The Jensen XDA92RB is rated to deliver (RMS Power):
80 watts x 2 channels at 4 ohms
120 watts x 2 channels at 2 ohms
240 watts bridged mono at 4 ohms
(amp not rated to handle less than 2 ohms stereo or 4 ohms mono)

  • @trilliedon8728
    Probably the cheapest and most accurately rated amplifier I’ve ever seen
  • @catch22frubert
    Crazy to see a Jensen put out more than rated when so many other budget brands fall way short of rated.
  • @wax333
    Jensen has always done okay amps never too impressive but they get the job done.
  • @jayvog1601
    At that price, I really was dumbfounded that it did better then the rating on each test. Very cool, Jenson...
  • @godzillasballs
    Not gonna lie, saw this in Walmart and was like: “damn, it look good! Wonder if Big D gonna test it?” No lie!!! One week later...
  • @mwestie12

  • That would be a good little ampnto wire up my subs in the house! Nice to see a cheap amp have real numbers listed. Thanks for the video man! Keep em comin!
  • @locotrucker46
    After seeing your review on this Amp I ordered it from Walmart and picked it up the next day and I was not disappointed at all. This little Amp rocks my 10* alpine type r like nobody's business. And the rgb lighting just makes it even more impressive. It really is a super good deal. Thanks so much for your videos and keep up the good work.
  • I was on the fence about buying this but after seeing your video, I got it! Your opinion helped out immensely. Thanks buddy!
  • @SuperCy101
    I was looking for an inexpensive amp to power some bass shakers on my sim race rig. Paired with an existing power this amp fits the bill nicely. Thanks for the review. Picked up 2 before the inevitable price hike. This isn't the first time your content has helped me out. Thank you
  • This channel is great helped me understand the amp ratings dont mean a thing and tune by ear for best affect!
  • The amp on my boat running my 8" Kicker tower speakers kicked the bucket this weekend. I ran to Walmart and bought this little amp to get me out on the water......Damn!! This little amp with the Bluetooth features rocks for sure.
  • Thank you big D for testing this amp I'm currently running the four channel in my motorcycle and this thing really handles I'm running for TX 69 skar audio and this amp is doing everything it's supposed to sounding good clear I love it thank you for the dino I wouldn't have known about it if you didn't show it here on your channel thank you again Big D
  • Just bought two of these based on this video. I have always bought big names. Thanks for the video BigD!

    Hi big D. Years ago when I was scraping by for my work truck sound system I recycled what I had. In my 81 GMC Heavy Half I put Jensen 6 x 9 3ways in the corners behind the seat facing forward & 6 x 9 2ways aimed under the seat from behind & connected to the Infinity 3001's in the dash. The tuner was a Technics unamped head unit that came with front & rear dedicated power amps. (Both with built in eq's). At 1st I was really disappointed until I was able to dial it in after playing with it. Damn it sounded good. Sometimes certain things just work out unexpectedly. Don't be too worried to experiment. Take care my big bud!
  • @ponokanaka
    Nice to see and old name like Jensen putting rated down! I put Jensen Special speakers in my guitar cabinet back in the day, even ran Jet Lightning in my combo amplifier. My first 6x9’s in car audio was Jensen
  • @trecedaves3159
    Pretty cool little amp. Jensen has always been a good budget choice all the way back to the 90s.
