Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


A solid Red LED indicates Protection Mode. First, check your ground; it must be to bare chassis metal. Next, ensure your speaker load is not below 2 ohms. If the light stays red with speakers disconnected, check for a blown fuse.
Play a 50Hz test tone at 3/4 volume. Turn the Input Sens. up until the ring glows Amber, then back it off until the light stays off. This DIY method prevents "clipping," which is the leading cause of blown subwoofers.
Check your Input Signal. If using RCAs, ensure they are in the "Input" jacks, not "Output." If using speaker-level input, ensure the "Input Voltage" switch is set to "High" and the "Turn-on Mode" is set to "Offset" or "Signal."
This happens if "Turn-on Mode" is set to "Signal" but your factory radio is "leaking" a small voltage. To fix this, change the switch to "Remote" and run a dedicated 12V switched wire from your fuse box to the "REM" terminal.
No. This amplifier is stable down to 2 ohms only. Wiring a 1-ohm load will trigger the protection circuitry, causing the amp to shut down or sustain internal damage. Always verify your final impedance with a multimeter.
You must use 1/0-gauge 100% Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) wire. Using 4-gauge or "CCA" (aluminum) wire will starve the amp of current, causing it to overheat and significantly reducing your bass output.
This is Thermal Protection. Ensure the amp has at least 1–2" of air clearance. If it is mounted under a seat, ensure the carpet isn't blocking the heat sinks. Also, check that your Gain isn't set too high, causing the amp to overwork.
The LPF blocks high frequencies your sub can't play. For most DIY installs, set the LPF knob between 60Hz and 80Hz. If you have a ported box, also ensure your Infrasonic (Subsonic) filter is turned ON to protect the sub from over-excursion.

Worth the money. SQ impeccable.

The following review is for RD1500/1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I had purchased sound stream amps to run my JL 12W7AE and my c-3 sound system. Those amps did a really good job for the price of 5 stars. But when you approach upper limits of power can sound harsh or muddied. (Now for the normal application they’re perfect but I’m trying to over sound a W7)

THE SOUND CLARITY IS AMAZING. Yes, you will pay a price for it, however, with all the work in progress for the past few years these amps have really cleaned things up. More than dynamic, rubber speaker baffles, JL audio signal processor and I mean it. It was instant from the first listen. Set your crossovers and you're done. I am a JL fan for life but never to their amplifiers. It’s incredible what you’re missing.

'Big Rabble Rouser!!'

The following review is for RD1500/1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought this combined w/the rd/500 & jbl dr spkrs. hooked up to 2, 15 in compq kicker subwoofers. The neighborhood hates me!! I love it. It stays cool, never has a problem and the rd/500 (lil rabble rouser)pushes my mids & highs w/ no problem. It thumps hard & clear. Get one or 2. You will NOT be disappointed!!

JL Audio RD1500/1

The following review is for RD1500/1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have a 12" JL Audio W7AE subwoofer and had this amp referenced above dramatically increased the power of my subwoofer. Only had for one day but so far HAPPY with product. Also came with free amp wiring kit which saved me 70 bucks.

Old school base with new edge sound

The following review is for RD1500/1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Loving the amp so far, my old JL1000/1 slash took a dump on me so bought this. Still sounds amazing just not as many adjustments for audio is the only downfall. But an amazing amp for SQ nun the less!
