Pretty good

The following review is for a previous version (GTO-501EZ).

I came from a 1000 watt pyramid and instantly felt difference in bass. I recommend this amp to anyone that is wanting to get more from their speakers

Great amp for the money

The following review is for a previous version (GTO-501EZ).

Cant go wrong for the money. The setup CD makes it easy for the novice to have perfect bass. The compact size makes easily hidden. The only con is the pdx is a much better amp when it comes to sound quality.

Little mouth with a big bite.

The following review is for a previous version (GTO-501EZ).

I never was much on JBL, till now. They all has changed. The set is very easy. Pop in the cd and the amp tells you what to do. But before you do so, you need to know at what volume you HU distorts at. That's where you want to start. Them amp looks great in the back of my Jeep Wrangler. Also, it say this amp is 500w RMS. Seen a video where they tested it to be close to 650w RMS, not max power. What does that mean? It will do everything you need. I love this amp.

good compact amp

I bought this amp to power 2 10" jbl gt500 sub's. Clean and solid power! Only downside is of you push this amp to the max like I did with the jbl sub's, safety feature kicks it off and turns back on from pushing it really hard. Had to turn bass level down on my Kenwood head unit to prevent this. However, this amp rocks!

Good Amp so far

I use this amp with a 12" Rockford Fosgate P2D4 and it works great. I bought a custom sub box from Subthump for my Camaro. Great quality. Highly Recommend

Great value

This amp is a great value it performs great and has a clean crisp sound . I am truly impressed with it . My only complaint would be that the low pass filter control isn't labeled as precise as I would have liked but overall a great product
