Strength:

Best sounding amp that I've experienced

Weakness:

only 1000 rms output

I wish JL made stronger amps. This amp is a big downgrade from my RF T1500bd amp that puts out 1800rms. I plan on reselling this JL 1000/1 asap. The reason I bought it was becuase I thought it would hit lows way better. Turns out my RF amp hits lows even harder. The power that the jl amp gives isn't enough for me but I do admit that it is strong enough to fell in my ear drums. I'm using it with 2 12w6. I have used many amps in the past and admit this is the best sounding quality amp so far. It gives a really smooth rythem of deep bass. At low volumes the bass is phenomenon but at high volumes, it sounds just like its other competitor brands. I think this amp will be perfect for those who wants the best sounding bass and will be satisfied with 1000 rms.

Strength:

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

Weakness:

The extremely small allen screws for wire termination. This thing can get pretty hot.

Let me start off by stating that I have been an avid user of Audiobahn for the last two years. I thought my system stomped, but I was sadly mistaken. I replaced my top of the line Audiobahn class D amp which was rated almost twice the output of the JL. I hooked it to my two 12" flame q's and I immediatly noticed a difference. Now the subs couldn't handle the power. So I switched to two 12" L7 Solos and the JL can fully dish out enough clean pwoer to destroy the Kickers rated at 750w a piece and my truck! Way to go JL!!

Strength:

Puts out underrated 1000 watts at 1.5-4 ohms and 11-15 volts. Great cooling capability.

Weakness:

If you can find one let me know.

What can I say but WOW. This amp is incredible. I am currently running 2 12 inch Eclipse Aluminums with this amp. This is by far one of the best amps on the market for the price. Yes it is a little expensive, but well worth the money. Once you get it tuned in, great bass reproduction. Stroungly reccomend.

Weakness:

Nothing really, just take your time installing it and do a good job, also make sure you electrical system is ready for this beast

Its insane thats all there is to it, sure you can get other amps that have the same power output but the key here is sound quality JL amps have a heck of a lot of power and still mange to have awesome sound quality, these subs are amazing for listening to music, and great for spl test to. lots of features to tune it to your tastes looks pretty cool too.

Strength:

Sick as hell, plays loud and sounds better than anything else on the market.

Weakness:

Not free. No system will guarantee you cool points and babes.

I have been in the car audio world for over 10 years, built many systems and searched for the perfect bass reproduction. I have finally found it. I have two JL Audio 13W6V2 subs in a 1.5 cubic ft per side sealed enclosure. The JL Audio 1000/1 is the most phenomenal subwoofer amp I have experienced. The low frequency reproduction is flat out amazing. Clean, tight, deep as all hell and LOUD LOUD LOUD! I listen to everything from techno to drum 'n bass to death metal and nothing sounds less than perfect. There are cheaper amps, but none better.

Strength:

Great clean power and flexibilty, produces very little heat.

Weakness:

Pricy

I've only had this amp hooked up a couple of days (10-1-03) and so far I love it. It's running (2) Phoenix Gold Titanium 10's, with ease I might add. I love the way it produces max output at 1.5-4 ohms and from 11-14.5 volts, great versatility. No power problems to speak of. If your amp kills a 120A altenator something's seriously wrong. I'm also running a JL 300/2 on a factory altenator without a hitch. Bottom line; great amp, a bit pricy but very flexible and does waht it says it will do. Give it a shot.
