i 1st got this amp and had it running 2 10 w3 and wowww the i had it run a w6 12 this amp never stops

Great Amp

I have this amp running two 12w3v2-d4's and they sound amazing. Crisp and hard. I'm planning on getting the 10w7 in that tank prowedge enclosure though and can't wait to save some space and just get a w7. This amp is awesome and I really like the RBC-1 with it. If I ever have problems with it I will fix it or get a v2.

great amp...

I had this amp hooked up to three 10's for about three years. It performed very well. The price on this amp may be a little high, but it is a very underrated amp. The features are great but can be a little confusing. If you want deep, clean bass, this is the amp I would recommend.

Best 500/1 amp money can buy.

A high end product, best amp on the market for 500/1. Jl Audio makes the best amps hands down. I own this and a 1000/1 amp. I have owned this amp for 2 months and never regret getting it. Thanks Jl

sick amp

I used this amp to power my 2 jl 12w6v2's and even though i was under powering my subs it was loud as f***, as well as clear and deep. this amp is a f***** beast. my friend runs one 12 rockford fosgate off this amp as well and it POUNDS!.. this amp is worth every penny and you will be very happy with it

reliable

I\'ve had this amp for about 5 yrs. I had it hooked up to 2 w3 10\'s (old model) and the back window of my trans am would flex a couple inches. I just recently hooked it up to a single w7 8\" the box replaced my center console. it sounds really good but its not near the bass of the 2 10\'s... having said that, I don\'t think you can kill one of these things. I would recommend jl products to anyone..

Excellent Sub Amp

I have this amplifier hooked up to a 12W6 and I've never heard such musical bass. It's a great buy and has an endless array of controls for fine tuning the sub.

Worth the money.

Awesome JL power for sub!

After buying the JL 300/2 for my components and being 200% satisfied, I decided to power my Focal polyglass 27v2 with this amp. The amp is probably a bit more than the sub needs (300 nominal, 600 max), but I was tired of being shy on sub size and power. The match seems right on target, delivering as much bass as I need. This system is part of a total SQ system, matched with Focal KPs in the front, and JL XR650-cxi in the back. The sub sonic and other crossover controls allow for very specific tuning, and make it easy for the sub to fit right where you need it to. It's JL power with JL clean - at a great sonix price.

I have this amp pushing an alpine type x 12" subwoofer....it pushes it very very hard.....it is definitlry a true 500 watts.....dont be afraid of the price its the best amp out there for its price......and sonic sells em the cheapest........(of course)

Lives up to it's name

If you arent looking for a "budget" system, this is the amp to power it. you get what you pay for with this thing. JL underrates every amp they make and this is no exception. Used to power my 10W7 and it slammed. 159.9 db's. Worth the money, would buy again.
