GREAT SQ SUB AMP!

Author's Rating: 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 at Epinions.com

Great amplifier for intermediate to advanced users!!

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 at Epinions.com

Phenomenal Amp for SubWoofer Use

Author's Rating: 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 at Epinions.com

Not worth the money - JL 500/1

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