Pretty good

I came from a 1000 watt pyramid and instantly felt difference in bass. I recommend this amp to anyone that is wanting to get more from their speakers

Great amp for the money

Cant go wrong for the money. The setup CD makes it easy for the novice to have perfect bass. The compact size makes easily hidden. The only con is the pdx is a much better amp when it comes to sound quality.

Little mouth with a big bite.

I never was much on JBL, till now. They all has changed. The set is very easy. Pop in the cd and the amp tells you what to do. But before you do so, you need to know at what volume you HU distorts at. That's where you want to start. Them amp looks great in the back of my Jeep Wrangler. Also, it say this amp is 500w RMS. Seen a video where they tested it to be close to 650w RMS, not max power. What does that mean? It will do everything you need. I love this amp.
