Just what I was looking for!
This amp is amazing and I have to agree the 3 channel is perfect for what I need and this amp is amazing. Pumps out clean power and fit just where I needed it to. (Though it is bigger than it looks in the pictures, just check before if it will fit where you want it to.)
Mounted on my spare tire in my scion tc. Powering the nvx component set and the nvx v subwoofer 500rms at 2omhs and it slams! (I'm very happy about the nvx products as well)
Sonic is the best if you don't already know by now, but back to the amp. The "EZ" setting gain LEDs are extremely helpful and I really enjoy that I have that feature. Also this puts out amazing power and only takes an 8 guage wire kit which was perfect. I am a big fan of JBL and NVX now. This amp is more that likely putting out more than it's rated for, just clean power. Very, very happy.

Great Amp
I have this amp pushing a soundqubed sdc2.5 12 and it is loud, I connected my four factory speakers and they sound great. I have had this amp for 2 weeks and I haven't had any problems, I highly recommend it!!!!

Perfect for trucks
I got this for my truck, it runs a pair of JBL Power coaxials and a pair of GTO subs wired to 2 ohms.
The power is outstanding. Way more than i expected. I'm not sure why there are not more 2 channel + subwoofer amps out there but this is exactly what i need in one amp. This thing is heavier and bigger than it looks in the pictures. I love the sound quality. I expect nothing less than a great product from JBL and this has lived up to the name.
I highly recommend it.

Perfect for my needs-well thought out amp design
I used this in conjunction with the GTO504 for a 7 speaker setup. this amp has plenty of options for a variety of situations. For me the auto-sensing remote took a few seconds to start, but it always worked fine. I now have a remote signal that avoids this, but I was OK with it when I was using it. The two different hi level and low level inputs worked great for me in two versions of my installation using both speaker and line level signals. If anything, the low level is very sensitive so if you are going in with 4V or higher I might recommend the hi level and using the gains to get it right. I had a hard time getting my minimum down.
The layout of the amps made installation on the back on my rear seats a snap and kept everything accessible, unlike most other amps. It also looks good when installed. Not flashy, but classy.The setup CD and step-by step process for setting the gains worked well but I had to dial it back quite a bit. However, that meant that I have lots of headroom on this amp and that makes me happy. I am driving Infinity Reference 6x9s and a 1062 DVC 10" sub at 2 Ohms in a sealed box. Plenty of power for that. The sub section is equivalent to the GTO-501 if you are comparing. If you have a need for a 2.1 configuration you can't go wrong here. Great value for the money.

Not very powerfull
Doesn't have much spl i connected a 750 4ohm 12' hifonics sub and 50 rms 4ohm speakers to the other 2 channels turned it to max volume and got disappointed by the lack of power in sound Its only an decent upgrade from the bad sound systems that are installed on almost every car on market i expected more for the relative high price of this amp , the sound its good but not goes loud enough , lack of power , it's a small amp they sacrificed the power for space better was bigger with more sound power than smaller with less power its also an big energy consumer its not class d i think that's why consumes many energy and produce small sound , decent sound nothing more . But i think the other alternative brands of car amps on market are not better than this for the same price .

JBL GTO 3EZ
This is my first amp and I would say it is fantastic. I have it in a Toyota Tacoma under the seat and it fits perfect. It powers my polk dxi 650's and one alpine bass line 12 and sounds really good. It was really easy to set up and tune with the JBL tuning CD. It looks great and sounds great! It was inexpensive and works great I would recommend this to anyone looking for this kind of amp and power range set up.

Great Amp
I am pleased with this amp. Looks good, sounds clean, electrical connections protected by cover, gain setup is straight forward with provided CD. I cannot speak of durability as of yet but it looks as though the unit should hold up well.

overall pretty good
I had a MRV-F450 in my old car, it was perfect-a simple analog amp with good sound quality and a metal chassis. With the new car I needed something that would fit under the seat, this is it! I wish I could compare its sound quality but I'm using different speakers now too so that wouldn't be fair. Anyways it seems to sound good and has nice build quality. One gripe is that the setup CD didn't seem to work, it had me set the gains way high and the stereo would be loud turned up to 4 (out of ~80 I think!). I set it by ear, I'll just have to be cautious. Also the knobs are marked in large increments, so if you want to be precise you'll have to do some math.

Modern vehicles often require specific brackets, wiring harnesses, and mounting solutions. A fit guide ensures:
