One Amp Does It All

by   metalmancpa ,  May 7, 2003
Pros: Can power an entire system Great punch and power
Cons: Ambient feature (when on) takes away from overall sound
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for one amp to power it all, the JL Audio 500/5 is a great choice.
Review: First things first - I never realized how technical and complicated a decent car sound system can be. Matching components is a daunting task, and even though I relied on a salesman at first, I went back to the shop three times - first replacing a...

Really Nice amp

by   aaronrryan ,  Dec 6, 2004
Pros: Well constructed, good clean power, and nice compact size
Cons: nothing
Review: I tried out several different amps on my car, and I have been really impressed with the JL Audio 500/5 amp. It is very well constructed and has all the options you need for a full system in your car. The power is about all you need for a clear loud SQ ...

Great "whole system" amp

by   djrobx ,  Jan 4, 2008
Pros: Powerful, clean sound. Great sound quality. Strong fronts for all-in-one.
Cons: Rear channels slightly too light on power, not enough mounting points
The Bottom Line: Great "whole-system" amplifier for sound quality enthusiasts.
Review: I am on my second G35 Coupe. On my first coupe, I had an Alpine 1000.1 monoblock amp running two Crossfire 10s, plus a Crossfire 100x4 running the highs, and an old Alpine EQ. For my second go-around, I decided to try and simplify the system a bit ...

Sounded Great, While it Worked

by   rt2395 ,  Feb 8, 2005
Pros: Sounded great when it worked
Cons: Very short life span
Review: Not cheap, but did not sound cheap. I rarely pushed the amp (I listen to an AM radio about 50% of the time) but mine crapped out after 1 year and 3 months. When I went back to Tweeter Home Entertainment Group my salesman took one listen to it an said ...

Reliability

by   woodcutter57 ,  Mar 12, 2007
Pros: 5 channels. Lots of adjustment for crossover frequency and output level to fine-tune the sound.
Cons: Poor reliability under light use. Expensive.
The Bottom Line: Excellent sound but very unreliable. If you purchase, definitely buy an extended warranty.
Review: I had this amplifier professionally installed at a chain audio store (Tweeter). Correct wire sizes were used, correct fuses, polarity of the wiring etc. The amplifier itself was mounted to the steel bulkhead behind the rear seat of an extended cab ...
