JL Audio Slash 600/1v3

The original Slash amplifier set new performance standards for automotive amplification and became the best-selling premium mobile amplifier in history. The new Slash v3 amplifier is built on this legendary pedigree and technology platform, enhancing it in a variety of key areas; like radically improved thermal performance, a beautiful new black look with powder-coated cast alloy heat sinks and dozens of tweaks aimed at improving performance, flexibility and reliability. JL Audio's Patented Class D output circuit utilizes a discrete control section and a unique feedback loop design that results in outstanding power regulation and a damping factor greater than 500 at 4 ohms (>250 at 2 ohms). This is vastly higher than other Class D designs and also higher than most Class A/B amplifiers. The benefit of this exclusive JL Audio technology is tight, clean bass reproduction with the efficiency advantage of Class D. Its these improvements that allow the v3 20% more power than the previous generation amplifiers.

With the proper utilization of the R.I.P.S System, the JL Audio Slash 600/1v3 offers a solid 600 watts RMS at any load between 1.5-Ohms to 4-Ohms with any voltage draw between 11V and 14.5V. To smooth out that power to your liking, the amplifier provides a very complete set of signal processing features, including a parametric bass EQ and fully variable infrasonic filter. There is no magic and no guesswork here... just pure technology, refined to the last detail.

Unparalleled Signal Processing

Highly advanced crossover filters and a full complement of signal processing features offer ultimate control and flexibility. Its this control and flexibility that sets the Slash v3 apart from heartless amplifiers that care only about putting out brute power. A variable low pass filter with selectable slope allows the user to tune the driver in perfectly to its environment and filter out any unwanted harmful frequencies. The highlight of the 600/1v3 is its Advanced Bass Control Section consisting of two primary components; a fully variable 24 dB per octave infrasonic filter and a parametric, single-band equalizer.

R.I.P.S. System

The 600/1v3 employs JL Audio’s exclusive Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply (R.I.P.S.) design. This sophisticated power supply allows the amplifier to produce its optimum power (600 watts x 1) over a wide range of speaker impedances. Unlike conventional amplifiers that require a specific impedance to produce optimum power, the R.I.P.S.-equipped 600/1v3 gives you the freedom to use a variety of subwoofer configurations without sacrificing power output or sound quality. The operation of the R.I.P.S. circuitry is entirely automatic and adjusts itself every time the amplifier is turned on according to the lowest impedance present at the speaker load.
