So LOUD!

I have this amp hooked up in my Silverado to a 10 inch kicker L7 dual 4 ohm in a sealed box wired down to 2 ohms final load, and once you've set the gain it is waaaay louder than expected!!! I got the class A/B in Janurary and just threw in my truck and thought it was pretty loud and two months later my friend set my gain and it started to shake the dashboard!!! If you want something as a beginner system, this is more than perfect because its tiny, so you can put it anywhere, and now its a class D!!! Get this!

Great little Amp

I have had this amp for about 3.5-4 years now. The first two years I had it pushing a cheap Kenwood sub. The last two years I've had it hooked up to a JL 12W3. I am MORE than happy with this purchase. This little thing keeps chuggin along no matter what I throw at it. Never had an issue with overheating, even blasting music while it sat in a tight location over long, long road trips. Just bought a new car and I plan on using this same amp, no reason to upgrade unless I get the urge to run some crazy setup. Overall, very solid and clean power. Highly Recommended!

JL Audio JX500/1D

Great little amp with a lot of true rms power. JL Audio is the best period.

Probably a good Amplifier

Hooked this amplifier to a single JL 12W3v3-4 in a sealed box. They sound good together. I have only had the system for a few days, so I don't know how the reliability of this amplifier is. Hopefully it holds up. Installation was easy as the amplifier is small and came with screws.

One issue I came across was the double speaker outputs. There was no mention in the instructions on which terminals should be used for a single sub setup. After looking at forums and videos, I determined that any combination worked.
