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).

Put this in a Yukon with the HO 112 W6 from JL. Installed myself to the factory head unit with several calls to JL Audio support. What a support line they have!!!!!!!! Did not need a signal converter due to the technology of the amp. This thing will rattle the windows and produces great sound quality. JL costs more that foreign made stuff but in this case you get what you pay for. I cannot imagine wanting more sound unless you want the next area code to hear you, the next zip code already can!

Awesome value!! I have used other products such as kicker and alpine, but JL is simply the best. I have this hooked up to a JL 10 W6v2 and it sounds amazing. JL simply is the best and I will continue to be a JL customer. This amp makes my sub hit hard no matter what I listen to techno,rock or rap. I will be a life long JL and Sonic customer... great product
