Just want some opinions on this combo. JL Audio specs say the sub will handle 500 watts RMS but the "warranty void" section starts promptly after 500 watts. Being around amps for awhile I know most amps (especially JL Audio) will produce over what they advertise...I'm just wondering if this combo is advisable or if I would just be better off with say the 250/1?

The 500/1 would do very nicely with that sub. It would def work it to its full potential. The slash series amps are pretty impressive. I have one on a 12 w7, only powering it to half its ability and it produces plenty of sound for my listening needs. I'd say go with the 500/1.

And actually I was wrong - the warranty void is at 600 watts not 500. I have to agree with you I think 500/1 is the way to go here. Also agree with your opinions on the slash series amps.

Slash amps are ok, very inefficient due to regulated power supplies. You will always get your 500 rms though.
