Its only downfall is the fact that it is WAY overpriced.

You can get a better price/performance ratio with other companies than you can with JL..

So comparibly, price not being an option, is there any amps in the 500/1 and 1000/1 that compete in the quality and RMS of this amp?

How have you been around long enough to notice this trend, but have never seen anyone actually explain their position? Seems daily I see people mention they like JL equipment, its the prices they dislike. *shrug*

Does Fi have a website?

There are tons of amps that match the quality and power output of those amps. Those amps are also horribly inefficient due to their power supply.

Using JL Audio is like using an exotic sportscar. There are cars that are faster, handle better, accelerare more quickly and cost a ton less. People still buy the exotics because they have a badass reputation, and are quite the status symbol.

Similarly, there are products that sound better, get louder, produce more wattage, are more reliable, or cheaper than JL, but people go with JL because of its reputation, and the fact that having JL is balla.

x3 Also I think it's not people hate JL, maybe very few people on here, but there's better out there and more for your money. JL has been in business for years....the least they could do is drop their prices a bit on the W0's, W3's, W6's, etc.

I have seen many jl haters on here.. W6's, best sq sub i have ever used.

So maybe a better question would be, what amps would put equal or above the JL 1000/1?

I like JL I dont see why every body is all but hurt about them.

I looked at the prices of Kicker, Rockford, and some others. in a dealer price book and was like wow this shit is over priced.

because they dont have it, havent heard it, cant afford it, ride bandwagons.. or they have had it and hated it. me personally have owned 2 JL subs and liked em both alot.

So any1 out there every really compared the JL 1000/1 to the Kicker 1200.1?

in terms of sheer power, the 1200.1 will spank the 1000/1
