JL Audio Slash v2 Amplifiers

The original Slash amplifiers set new performance standards for automotive amplification and became the best-selling premium mobile amplifiers in history. The new Slash v2 amplifiers build on this legendary technology platform, enhancing it in a variety of key areas, like radically improved thermal performance, a beautiful new stackable chassis design and dozens of tweaks aimed at improving performance, flexibility and reliability. There is no magic and no guesswork here... just pure technology, refined to the last detail.

The R.I.P.S. System

R.I.P.S. stands for "Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply" and is a central feature of JL Audio's Slash v2 amplifiers. The remarkable R.I.P.S. System™ ensures consistent power delivery over a wide range of battery voltages and load impedance's.

"Regulated" means that the power supply adjusts its operation so as to maintain the amplifier's rated power output and low distortion operation over a wide range of vehicle voltages.

The "Intelligent" portion of the R.I.P.S. System is a circuit that actually monitors output current to optimize the amplifier's output power over a wide range of load impedance (1.5 ohm to 4 ohm per channel).

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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
