A buddy of mine worked at a shop that sold JL and he had his 500 on a 12w7 in a HO box and it hit pretty hard. He TOLD me that a 1000/1 voids the w7's warranty. I believe him bc i know him pretty well, but thats saying he's not wrong. I'd suggest calling JL to see, but honestly i think youll be happy with the 500. |
