The new JL amps any good?

Hit Man X · 11-12-2001, 03:16 PM

I've heard they kick ass. Anyone have experience with them?

EW · 11-12-2001, 05:23 PM

We've sold a bunch of them and they work great. We just got the new 5 channel in and it really sounds awesome.
Here's 2 500/1 on 2 15W3 with a 5 farad cap and EQS.

Hit Man X · 11-12-2001, 05:28 PM

I need a 50x4. And something to push 2 - 10w6's...like 250x1?

evil jose · 11-12-2001, 05:33 PM

Nice pic's, what kinda vehicle is that?

EW · 11-12-2001, 06:03 PM

System is in a super-fly Navigator w/20".
Hit Man X: I would recommend a 300/4 and a 500/1 for your request. 75x4 and 552x1.

evil jose · 11-12-2001, 06:20 PM

Hey EW, what's the box on the far right of the amp rack?

EW · 11-12-2001, 07:02 PM

Alumapro 5 farad capacitor.

OK, I was looking for something different. Never seen a cap looking like that before.

Hit Man X · 11-12-2001, 11:53 PM

How much would that 300/4 set me back? That 500/1?

How are those working out for ya.
ve owned the 5 farred and 15 farred and returned them both.
nice concept thoughm save alotof space if they wee worth a F*CK.

EW · 11-13-2001, 08:46 AM

While JL and some SPL competitors are putting 2000W on each driver and not burning them up, I would not recommend it for long life.
What issues have you had with the cap? We've had none.

evil jose · 11-13-2001, 09:28 AM

EW, what is the box covered with? Vinyl? Just curious.

EW · 11-13-2001, 12:34 PM

Yes, we ended up with a very close color and texture match to the vehicle's plastic panels. Sometimes we're not so lucky.

zoggy · 11-13-2001, 08:54 PM

did you make that box? or buy it?..
i just cant get a hang of making boxes yet.. i tried and failed

woodshoop class in highschool should have taught me more..but we were making pipes and things to beat people with

Wood shop kicked ass! I made stuff I use daily as well a beat sticks and paddles!

EW · 11-14-2001, 11:31 AM

We design the enclosures and have a local wood shop make them for us. It is faster and less expensive than building them ourselves. The enclosures are delivered raw and then we carpet or vinyl them usually.
