Loud and small

If you are in a SPL competition this amp is great. If you are looking for good sound quality do not buy. This amp sounds cold very similar to the Alpine pdx.

Worth every penny

Don't be discouraged by the cost per watt with this amp. It truly is worth every penny. Rated at 600 watts this amp puts out more clean power than too many other amps on the market rated at 2-3 times the output. This amp is very efficient meaning a smaller drain on your electrical system. It is also extremely small and the controls and filters are great. In regards to price for performance, this amp is hard to beat.

Amazing Amp

I am impressed with the power of this amp, I had two amplifiers rockford fosgate for focal's access and Poliglass, also for a couple of subwoofers jl Audio 12W1, and really did not know what kind of brands buy it. I decided to buy this amp but I was afraid if that brand was I'm looking for. I have a surprise, it's pretty good and quite practical, and has a power that left me very satisfied

The little amp that could.

This amp is ideal for intalations whereby space is an issue or can not be compromised. With this amp I replaced an old alpine Amp that was also in the class of small powerful amps. I made a switch and noticed and inmense difference. It was so intense, that I had to dynamat the car panels. I was powering a JL w3 12" on a sealed enclosure and the sound was incredible. The bass was clean and deep- for its size unparalleled. This lasted about 8 months. Unfortunately, the speaker was blown. However, the speaker lasted about 8 years under the old amp that had speaker protection. I then purchased another speaker. I tried an Alphasonic 400 series as a temporary fix. This speaker was also blown out in only 3 days. Apparently, there isn't any speaker protection built in to this device. Also of concern, is that the gain controls are not easily accessible. It is bellow a face plate on the top of the amp that is screwed in. I just dicovered this after consulting with a JL salesperson. Now, I'm in process of trying the RE Audio SEX 12 sub that is favorably reviewed by Sonic consumers. Wish me luck. I guess with proper gain control and the right combination of speakers it is a good little amp. I recommend it, with the exterior device sold separately to control it's volume.

Good Amp

Very good unit in my opinion. I'm not a SPL guy, so I'm not sure what "cold" means. I previously owned a RF Power T500-1bd. It was a good sounding unit, but this amp sounds just as good in my opinion. Plus, JL Audio includes detents on all their adjustments, which surpasses any RF amp I've ever used as far as tunablity goes. Long story short, both amps are good, but if I where to recommend one over the other, I'd take this one. They cost about the same.

Out of this world!!

Extremely underated, puts out amazing power for such a small price and small package. Way more power than needed. Also easy to adjust, great style, stays cool, and smooth power all around. Thanks Sonic for recommending!

Awesome amp!!!!

I definitely would recommend the xd600/1! It may be a little pricey but it powers my two 10 inch subs with ease. Its small footprint also helps to make installation in any location a breeze.

JL XD600/1

This product is great for discrete, quality installations. Having used this product for 6 months I havent had it present and problems to me. If you're considering this versus the alpine equivalent I would recommend saving your money and purchasing the JL.

Great power in a little package!

For such a small amp it has plenty of power and makes my jl 10W6v2-D4 sounds very loud, tight and clear while staying pretty cool at the same time.
