I have two of these breathtaking beasts and they are simply flawless JBL doesn't lie when they say the ultimate woofer, sure there are subs out there that can take 3500 rms but this gti doesn't slack when I first got this I didn't have the 2nd one so I hooked it up to my bpx 2200.1 all by it's self and gave it 2200 rms in this small little sealed box I had laying around and it took it for a good half hour, I wouldn't do it often but it will take a lot more than 700 if you have good voltage and no distortion I've got them each in a ported 2.2 cu box now and they are just amazing. Extremely loud super clean really low deep violent brutal bass!!!!

I owned a single JBL GTi for little over a year when i was first starting out. I had it hooked up to a rockford fosgate 800.1 amp, little did i know this subwoofer could handle so much more power. I finally upgraded to a audiopipe ap3000.1 class d amplifier and wow can this subwoofer handle power!! I've been running about 1200 rms though it for a few months, never any burning of the voicecoils or anything, always a very clean sounding sub. Everytime a new person has entered my ride and heard my system they see my massive amp and always ask how many 15's you got back there? You just have to laugh. I'm upgrading to about 6 of these bad boys with 3 of these audiopipe 3000.1 amps. You will probably hear me from where you live. JBL FTW!!!!!

I upgraded from a 10" Alpine Type X in a ported enclosure to this MkII in a ported, spec'd enclosure powered by an MRP-M1000. I have the gain set about 60% and the low pass filter set at 80Hz. I usually listen to country, rock, and rap at moderate levels, but this sub sounds great even when I want to rage.

Blends beautifully with the front stage, and the response in the ported enclosure seems fairly flat (good thing) and surprisingly quick. Definitely a huge upgrade from my Type X. Remains undistorted even at very loud levels.

I strongly recommend these subs. I put four in an 03 impala upgraded my alternator from Ohio generators. Extreme competition I recommend getting the JBL GTO1400.1 seeing how that amp was meant for those. If you have two use zero gauge monster wire or Fosgate wire nothing else will do these subs justice. I've hit 174.3 at competitions with the meter in the kick panel and the seats up. Heck, I think I may go to 15's in my next car. Beats Rockfords t2 and JL's w7 and hecka cheap compared to both of them. I wish I checked prices here though. No worries, this sub is bangin.
