question on jl 1000.1

I have read many reviews on these and they are right at or a little above rated as for the 500/1 doing 700 RMS, I never read one that high the higest benched one I saw was 530, they do all close to rated power

The JL Audio amplifiers are STRICTLY regulated to produce RATED power between 1.5 and 4 ohms! Some bench tests show higher numbers, but they are using a non-reactive resistive load with a specific frequency so that will net you a slightly higher RMS number.

If anyone wants to impress me with a bench score, how about running a 20 to 300 Hz signal through the JL amplifier with a reactive resistive load, and let's see what power it produces on the bench! I bet you it will be closer to rated!
