JL Audio Slash v2 Amplifiers
The original Slash amplifiers set new performance standards for automotive amplification and became the best-selling premium mobile amplifiers in history. The new Slash v2 amplifiers build on this legendary technology platform, enhancing it in a variety of key areas, like radically improved thermal performance, a beautiful new stackable chassis design and dozens of tweaks aimed at improving performance, flexibility and reliability. There is no magic and no guesswork here... just pure technology, refined to the last detail.
The R.I.P.S. System
R.I.P.S. stands for "Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply" and is a central feature of JL Audio's Slash v2 amplifiers. The remarkable R.I.P.S. System™ ensures consistent power delivery over a wide range of battery voltages and load impedance's.
"Regulated" means that the power supply adjusts its operation so as to maintain the amplifier's rated power output and low distortion operation over a wide range of vehicle voltages.
The "Intelligent" portion of the R.I.P.S. System is a circuit that actually monitors output current to optimize the amplifier's output power over a wide range of load impedance (1.5 ohm to 4 ohm per channel).

I would say this amp is crazy powerful and i love it with my 13.5 w6 d4's and it sucks all 190ccs's im giving it. rewired the whole car to 0 gauge and i love the dial ins. the rips system is good deal all around. i paid retail more than anyone would ever pay online but i like to purchase local and have a location to service my items, but regardless of price id do it again. i kinda like there line up of the new hd amps. pretty neat stuff.

This is the BEST amp for the price bar-none. It is incredibly stable and consistently powerful from 4ohm all the way down to 1.5ohm. What other amp can consistently push a clean 1,000w through several different impadences than the Vslash? I have one of these monsters pushing two of my Rockford P3D4,12 wired 2ohm each 4ohm total and this amp makes these subs SWEAT HARD!! And they are both rated at 1,000w each!?!?! ALSO word to the wise before installing one of these beasts make sure to upgrade your battery and altinator and nothing under a 130AMP fuse just to be safe because it pulls stupid amounts of power. Also I have a 10farad cap feeding this amp and it sometimes even has a hard time keeping up, this is a serious amp that requires a serious power input. None of that w*****t or b**t b*y trash if you have the money for this amp you don't need to be cheap and skimp out on the wiring...

Such an incredible amplifier. The truest 1000 watts ive ever heard. Don't waste your time with Alpine mrp1000, and I'm a HUGE kicker fan but don't even waste your time with their zx1000.1 it just wont compare. This amp paired with a 13W7 talk about one of the cleanest/loudest single sub set up possible. This amp may be expensive but for what you get out of this amp, its not one bit overpriced.

This Amp rocks! This thing pounds out 1000watts all day long. Rock solid. You can make your subs sound any way you want with the incredible amount of "dial in" features on this amp. There are so many ways to "tweak" the sound of your subs, you can't go wrong with this amp.

This is a good amp, just pretty pricey as all JL products are. A friend runs this with 2 10" w7s and it pounds. They sound great! Another friend installed one in his car and the amp fried, quick! It was all his fault. He wired down to 1ohm and these amps are not 1ohm stable. He also had bad wiring and had the gain turned almost max! Lets just say, its a huge paperweight now. The RIPS technology is crazy. From 4-1.5ohm, you still get the same power! Other then the 1ohm stable part, good amp.
