Bronze Member Username: Jonklly5Post Number: 17 Registered: Apr-05 | is the jl audio 500/1 amp the best for the money. Im looking for 500-600 watt amp to power 2 w3v2's but i might not get those subs if theres something better for the price in them 2. |
Silver Member Username: TdbdrummerPost Number: 319 Registered: Feb-05 | I've heard it's actually UNDERATED! Meaning...it puts out more no matter what it says. Also, those amps have RMS ratings for a large range of ohm loads...I wish I could afford a JL 1000/1...*sigh* |
Bronze Member Username: Jonklly5Post Number: 20 Registered: Apr-05 | So you think its the best thing i can get for the money? What about something that zapco/Orion/PPI makes. I hear those r really good. |
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 3033 Registered: Nov-04 | You can afford an amp that's as good as JL if not better. Take a look at Orion XTR/SX/G4 series. PPI's PC/PCX are great too. Someone is selling the Xtant 1001 amp. It is 1000w rms and can easily replace JL 1000/1. |
Bronze Member Username: Jonklly5Post Number: 22 Registered: Apr-05 | Which one specificly that is comparable to the jl 500/1 near the same price. |
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 3036 Registered: Nov-04 | Well the guy wanted $600 for Xtant amp that was 1000w rms. JL 500/1 sells for $430. So for a little bit more, you'd get 2x the power. Orion HCCA 250 G4 will out perform JL 500/1 amp at a lower price. It is .5 ohms stable in stereo and 1ohm bridged. Orion XTR has 400w - 500w rms model at half the price. PPI has PC/PCX series that is around 600w rms. They are all priced below JL. Try searching on eBay. |
Silver Member Username: Alias747Post Number: 129 Registered: Apr-05 | Go for this Xtant 6.1. It puts out 600w rms and xtant is usually underated. I mean, it puts out 100 more wrms than a JL 500/1 and is like $100 bucks cheaper. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18797%26item%3D5776590853 %26 |
Silver Member Username: Skyliner17Saint Paul, MN United States Post Number: 153 Registered: Apr-05 | go for the zapco reference 500.1 or the reference 750. i like my zapco 1100 better than my jl 1000/1. makes my subs sound better. |
Bronze Member Username: Jonklly5Post Number: 28 Registered: Apr-05 | why would i want 1000 watt amps if i only have 500 or 600 in rms with my 2 12' jl audio w3v2's |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1350 Registered: Feb-05 | Jon Kelly go for the JL 500/1 and you will be done. |
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 3058 Registered: Nov-04 | Jon, it's called investing for the future. With 1000w amp, you can always turn down the volume to get 500w. But with 500w amp, that is all you're going to get. |
