New JL Audio JX Series Amps

[WhyUmad 10+ year member]

Any thoughts on them? I've heard them and think they sound pretty good. The jx1000/1d is tiny for 1000rms and appears to be pretty efficient which is important for me with my ****** stock alternator. JL says use an 80 amp fuse for the jx1000/1d.

I know there is much better stuff for retail cost but I have a chance to get the jx360/4 for around $150 and jx1000/1d for around $250, which is like 10% over cost plus tax, both are brand new in the box. Anything better out there at that cost and would I be stupid to pass that up?

EDIT: If it matters its going on a 10" Alpine Type X dual 4 ohm and I have Focal polyglass components up front

I think the JX series is the same guts as the TMA counterpart which isnt a good thing

Not the jx1000/1d its tiny almost as small as the xd line. Its about half the size of the old tma and j2 1000.1

Were the tma and j2 that bad? Makes me think twice about the jx360/4 because I don't know if its that much different than the older tma and j2

Any better 4 channel amps for $150ish?
