[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2408894, member: 555320"] No. My guess is that he either posted the review under the wrong amplifier model on the website, or he had a ton of power running to his subs and the addition of an amplifier for his frontstage tipped his electrical demands over the edge. But the JBL, on it's own, is not a current hog by any stretch. I installed mine on Thanksgiving, and am more than pleased with it after about a week of use. Here is a very brief mini-review I typed on another forum; "No audible noise floor that I've noticed yet. No turn on/off thump. Great power. No complaints...other than the mounting feet feel a little flimsy. So far, for under $200 shipped (authorized) and nearly 300w x 2 bridged, I couldn't be happier.
