[QUOTE="chevy_man, post: 5750991, member: 564089"] Yeah, try at least a JL 1000/1. I've seen more than one JL 500/1 bench test in the 700-800 watt range on a bench with a 1 ohm load. Three belonged to the shop owners and one belongs to me. At 4 ohms they put out 500 watts (well, avg. was 498w) but lighten the load to 1 ohm and they pick up quite a bit considering they're supposed to be the same across the board IMO. Their marketing behind this confuses me, because ohms law dictates power (watts)= voltage/resistance. Therefore, why try and limit it's power output at lower ohm loads? Why not just let it run free and happy and send out the strongest signal possible? [/QUOTE]
