Well I am considering this amplifier since my JL 500/1 broke just recently.

This amp will be powering my 2 JL 12w3v2-4 subwoofers.

I like the features of this amp. Mainly because its all digital and is fairly powerful if I want to later down the road upgrade subs.

I also like the price.

  • List:$339
  • Sell price:$169
  • Sell price + coupon code(re20march):$136

And that is shipped.

 
I'm sure it's decent. Though about buying one of their amps. For the price I'm sure you can't go wrong. If you were spending more I'd say go with something else, but that looks like a good deal. Make sure to post a review!!

Ill be sure to get you guys a review if I decide to buy it.

I thinking fixing my 500/1 right now is going to be a little pricey. ($180+shipping to JL to repair)

So the price for this amp is like perfect.

Is this amplifier like really new?

 
i have this amp bought it right before the sonix sale //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rage.gif.0ad8a6e5565b5fddce406566fdd05149.gif it came with 3 x40a fuses where in the manual it says it needs 3x20a fuses, i called tech to confirm and he said use 3x30a fuses..confusing i know. but other than that its a real good amp for the price. im hooking up 2 10" focal auditor rips..see how those go to

Cool man thanks for the info!

Also the attatchment is not working.

 
RE is owned by US amps now...so I'd assume these are on par with US amps lower lines. I didnt know they were bringing back amps with the RE name tho.
I called RE and I talked to a rep about the amp.

They told me that the XTv3 series amplifier is the middle of the line amplifier from there selection.

The DTS is a lower end series and the VLX is the next step up series.

WELCOME :: US AMPS
