I think the price you pay for their name to be on that amplifier or subwoofer is way to steep though. You can get amplifiers made just as well or better for less. |

Bronze Member Username: Dj_007Carlisle, KY US Post Number: 84 Registered: Dec-06 | ok i have worked selling and installing JL audio equipment.. and i know what its like.. im not impressed at all especially for what it costs.. also as for about them doing the same power at any ohm load?? only the / "slash" series do taht.. they do the same power from 1.5 to 3 ohm and that is accomplished with an extremely power hungry regulated power supply that gets really hot.. because they are designed for the W7.. the A and E series amplifiers especially mono amps are 2 ohm stable. and absolutely will not run at any ohm loads lower that than.. i know from experience.. that is very un impressive to me since the MTX TC series amps are 2 ohm stable and will run daily at 1 ohm.. and cost half as much.. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 4970 Registered: Dec-05 | MTX doesn't suck that way M.S, they're just very expensive for what they do, for example a 1502D is good, it was a popular amp back then, but not the greatest thing. |
