JL Audio Quality with an Affordable Price Tag

The new JL Audio JX Series of amplifiers was designed with a specific purpose: to create a high quality amplifier with a moderate price tag. JL Audio created an entire line of JX series amplifiers to provide an amp configuration for everyone. The line includes three monoblock amplifiers, a two-channel, and a four-channel. Each amp is true to the ratings and provides excellent output for your new speakers or subwoofers. In assisting with matching many of the JL Audio subwoofers together, these amplifiers have specific ratings at 3 ohms. For your next audio system, consider the 2011 JL Audio JX amplifiers for an affordable, high quality amplifier.

Great amp

This amp is not for competition but in fact it's made for a descent sound and believe me it does puts out the rms that it say it does. I know because my friend had it on his charger and sounded off the hook.

Great Product

I really like the JL Audio JX500/1. It has great power pushing my two JL Audio 12W3 speakers. JL Audio is the best investment I've made in car stereo equipment. I've had others Kenwood Rockford Fosgate MTX Kicker etc. None of them compare to JL Audio. Thanks Gregg

JL Audio JX500/1 is so so

I installed this Amp with MTX Audio TR5512D 400rms 2 Ohm. And after 10 minutes (80% of max power) of work, turnes off beacuse is gettin warm I would even say is gettin HOT ! This amp is not that strong, maybe for 300w rms Subwoofer will be ok but not over that Trust me ;-)
