nice amp, full clean power, easy to install, larger than newer JL models, but worth finding a good lightly used JL amp, stays pretty cool for the amount of out put, Do not like the Allen-wrench screws to hold the wires in place, too small, would be nicer if they used Phillips-head screw standard #2 or #1 head size, but the AMP works very nice with many bass system types. Also, would like to see a power level adjustment switch area that is lighted.
jl is one of the true still american made amps in this country today its power is under passed as unlike most american companies have done in the past went to a production line instead of sticking to quality if you truely love sound quality unsurpassed then you will buy jl if all you want is a big amp that has lotts of power just stamped on a package then buy something cheap i have before but in the end when i want to be able to step into soundquality yes there is better but on a scale of 1 to 10 when you range this little beast it is up there at a 9.5 to 10 on performance and beautiful cosmetics but we all cant afford it so as i love music this amp is definetaly going to help me surpass my own expectations
I've bought this product because in Europe is very expensive and I don't have enough money to buy it here. It's JL Audio so it has the best sound I've ever heard from amp in this cost-category. I am building my car only with JL Audio components, so I need it to power my bass speakers in front door. It has more power than manufacturer descibes and of course, the SOUND is the most important think. Definitely, I will buy it again if needed.
This amp is going to become a legend. It's about the newest amplifier you can get that rivals and or surpasses the old a/d/s, zapco, and Macintosh. Does it get really warm? Yes. Is it tiny? No. Does it consume a lot of current? Yes. Can you get more power for less money? Yes. As of 2018...are they nearing a recap? Yes. To own one, powered by a good head unit, with nice speakers, and a CD quality signal is to know audio bliss. It's silent, transparent, powerful, well made, repairable, and does not disappoint. Hopefully more of these amplifiers end up in the hands of those who truly appreciate them, and keep them going.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
