Reliability

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2007
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...

One Amp Does It All

Date of Review:  May 7, 2003
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...

Great "whole system" amp

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2008
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...

Sounded Great, While it Worked

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2005
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...

Really Nice amp

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2004
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...
