Has anyone here installed a JL Audio 500/1 Amp with one or two JL Subs? Whether it's 10 or 12? A single or paired subs?
I plan on getting the JL Audio 500/1 Amp and one, maybe two 10w7's or one 12w7.
And then keeping the rest of the system stock for now.

Has anyone done this yet? Does it sound good?
Just curious. Thanks!

A 500/1 would not push one muchless two w7's to their full potential. I've heard a 500/1 on a 10w7 and it sounded good but it could have been much louder with more power.

 

a 500/1 will push one jl w7 nice but if you want two you might want to get the 1000/1

 

ChillRobP...What shawhite said but I would suggest a whole other amp. The w7's don't need the voltage regulation of the JL amps, and you're paying for it anyway.

do the 500/1 on either teh 10 or 12 W7. it will sound good i know i had it in ym car. all these other foos dont know they can jsut talk about it they havent heard it in there car yet. i have so i know it will sound good.

 

I've heard the JL 500/1 push a 10W6 V2 and it thumped!!! I was extremely impressed with the new 10W6 V2s. I just wish they were available when I did my system...oh well, too late now.

 

I have a 500/1 powering 2 JLW3 12's. And yes, it pounds. Sounds really nice.

 

So was there any kind of trunk rattling from it?
How is your system set up?
I really just want one sub and the 500/1 amp. I plan on having it in the trunk.

Did you ever have problems with your set up?
And how did you hook it up? Did you change out anything else in your car?
Thanks!

 

well i have the 12 and my trunk is dynamatted and it still rattles so yeah. if your gonna go with the 1000 on the 12 w7 good luck trying to get rid of teh rattle. 96tl's car is gonna fall apart with the 2 12's so good luck putting your car back together. the one 12 already knocks alot i cant imagine having too especially in a 96tl its gonna sound nasty.

 

What do you mean its gonna sound "nasty"? A lot of rattling? I need Streetz to measure my trunk and see if I can vent them through the rear deck. No rattles that way but maybe a broken window. If not, then I'm gonna try to a few layers of RaamMat and foam. We'll see.

 

well yeah if you vetn ti there might not be any rattle but if your gonna go with a box its gonna rattle. mines is dynamatted and it rattles. you can hear it good. imagine your car with 2 12W7s its gonna rattle bro it wont sound good.

 

Well, I'm gonna see what I can do. Venting it will solve all rattling problems for sure. I did it in my BMW and there wasnt even one rattle outside the car. I don't think I have room for a box that big though.

 

Sell your sh*t and do it right...never is too late!!
