Best Amp I've Owned

I have this amp hooked up to a 10w7. JL tends to be on the expensive side but you get what you pay for. My amp puts out close to 625 watts. You can't go wrong with this amp if you have the money.

Excellent Sub Amp

This amp is driving a single 10" Eclipse Sub and performs very well. Before this amp I had to turn the volume up to hear the sub but now I get a bass at all levels.

Great Amp

This is a great amplifier. I have had no problems and it has plenty of punch. I have this powering a single 10" W3v4 in my 05 F150 Super Crew and it is perfect. My sub never lacks power. It delivers a clean signal and takes whatever I throw at it.

Pros:
Plenty of power
Easy to use / install

Cons:
A bit bulky

Amazing amp!

I'm using this amp to power a JL 13TW5 and its amazing. The amp never gets warm, runs nice and cool and really fits the 13TW5 perfectly. As always, ordering from Sonic is a breeze, fast shipping and great service. The 500/1v2 is a great amp, if I had to list one complaint.... I wish I would'nt have waited so long to buy it.

Set up was easy. I downloaded a 50hz test tone from iTunes and used a digital multi-meter to properly adjust my gains. The instructions in the manual are very thorough and easy to follow. I also purchased the optional remote gain knob, very very helpful in adjusting the bass for individual songs. I also have a 300/4v2 powering my mids and highs. The design of the JL slash series amps allow them to be tightly butted up to each other, they give the appearance of one big amp on the back wall of my truck.

AMAZING

I have one of these pushing a JL W6 and this amp is amazing does the job well and love the way it looks. Great product I would recommend to everyone.

Tremendous Value/Great Product

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

500/1

This amp is great I have it pushing one 10" w7 and it pounds very very hard. It's by far is the best amp I have ever owned. Can't go wrong with JL.

Amp it Up

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!

Really Good Amp

I have one of these on a 12 inch kicker L7 and it hits super hard. I ran this amp for almost 2 hours and barely heated up. If you want a good amp for the price i would suggest this amp

Worth the money

This is a great amp. Supplies plenty of clean power and runs very cool. JL is simply a brand to trust.

Awesome Amp!!!!

This is the 2nd 500/1 I've owned, and just like it's predecessor, the v1, this amp delivers. I barely even have it turned half the way up and it hurts me. Definitely recommend this amp to anyone in the market for a budget system. It may not be that good for SPL competitions, but paired with the right subs, you might have yourself a great placing!

Perfectt

Very proud and very satisfied with this product. great sound and great output! Perfect if you have a JL w6 10in.

Music to my ears

This amp is a great bang for the buck. I was into car audio about 15 years ago and had 2 pro 12's and a 400w amp costing $1700 total. Now I have 1 JL Audio 12W3V3 sub and this 500/1V2 amp and it hits harder than the 2 12's from back in the day at less than 1/2 the price! Plus it doesn't distort, slap or seem to clip at high volumes. Just be sensible on the gain. It's very clean, tight bass. This is just one more step to my SQi setup. Very very happy with this JL amp. So many adjustments to choose from. A versatile amp with excellent sound quality. Runs barely warm to the touch. Don't know how long my old car will take the abuse this amp puts out. :)

AWESOME!

This amp is great, i have 2 of them and each hooked up to 10w7's. they hit hard and i got them set half way, plan on upgrading to 4 13w7's and 4 1000/1v2 i heard them hooked up before and i fell in love with that set up.

amp worth every penny

nothing but pros for this amp. its 500 rms, but a strong 500. so pick subs accordingly. i would recomend nothing less then 350 rms per sub, if your running 2. with an orray of settings, it may seem intimidating. but read up, dial in, and let your ear do the rest. this is by far the best amp ive ever owned.

best amp next to1000/1v2

I like this amp very much. It's flexible audio tuning makes what every sub you run this with sound good. I listen to loud music alot and the amp holds up to it's value.

worth the money

have this pushing two 12" kicker cvr's and they pound. stays cool, even in hot south texas weather, and pushes out more than enough power for those subs. highly recommended for anyone wanting enough power to push anything...besides jl 13w7 :)

JL Quality

This thing was amazing!
