GREAT SQ SUB AMP!

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Best Features ever seen! Best settings diagrams! Guaranteed output regardless of voltage change!

Cons: Not quite enough power for the greedy JL w7 sub...

Bottom Line:
Dominating SQ AM! No one can match the quality of engineering! Alan setscrews easily strip and are not replaceable! Huge flaw! The only amp better is the JL 1001! :) Read More

Great amplifier for intermediate to advanced users!!

Author's Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: RIPS, infrasonic filter, balanced inputs, low THD, crossover

Cons: Pricey, Bass EQ poorly designed, built in alan screws, warranty

Bottom Line:
Buy it if you can get it for anything in the $300 range, but at $549 it is not worth it. Read More

Phenomenal Amp for SubWoofer Use

Author's Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Powerful, flexible configuration, small, clean and clear

Cons: Not quite enough for super-power-hungry subs- also, doesn't like 2 ohm loads

Bottom Line:
For the price, I couldn't ask for more- this thing SLAMS my boston pro 12.5LF *(4ohm) and fits in the smallest spaces. Clean, clear and slammin. Well done JL Read More

Not worth the money - JL 500/1

Author's Rating: 3/5 stars

Pros: Low price for a Class D monoblock 500 watt amp.

Cons: Only 500 watts - picks up induced noise through wires (Made in Korea).

Bottom Line:
Save your $ and buy a real American amp. Read More
