Really glad I bought this amp. I started with a Rockford Fosgate which overheated and was defective. I could hear better detail with this amp. Perfect size; not big not small. One note is that JL recommends that 4 guage is the minimum size for power and ground leads but 8 guage is what comes out of the amp (and what I had previously installed in my boat so I lucked out).

Great amp for my Jeep

Great amp for my Jeep. Have used them in the past and they really perform while also allowing a little moisture which is likely in a Jeep type vehicle without destroying the system.

GREAT

It is a powerful small amp, more than enough power to run my 4 JL Audio Vex pods. Very clear and have not had any issues with it. I've been running it for over 6 months now.

This thing runs for awahile and then gets heated up and starts cutting in out. Have it mounted to where there is air moving all ount it, even on the bottom and it's mounted to a aluminum frame.

Plenty of clean power in a small package

I installed this amp in my Jeep Wrangler. It's small enough I could hide it away easily. With it being waterproof I don't have to worry about it getting rained on or dunked when doing a water crossing. Setting up the gain for the different efficiency of my front and rear speakers was easy. The separate crossover points for the front and rear channels also came in handy. It produces plenty of power to drive a pair of 5 1/4" 4 ohm component and a pair of 6 1/2" 3 ohm component speakers, backed up by a Wet Sounds Stealth 8 for bass. It runs cool even when used at the higher volumes needed to overcome the road, tire, and wind noise in my topless Jeep.

Overheats

After 40 min of use the amp overheated and shut off. Amp gets pretty hot. Was well ventilated out in the open. Currently trying to get technical support over product.

Cuts Out in Cold Temperatures

I had this amplifier Installed in my Jee Wrangler and kept cutting in and out in cold weather temperatures. Replaced with in kind and continued to have the same problem. Spoke with Technical Support and verified all settings and wiring also and couldn't find solution. Switched to a different amplifier and has been functioning as rated with no issues.

Compact amp with more power!

In a small compact car, it can be hard to find space to properly install an amp. Which, when the Alpine KTP-445u (and the like) came out, it was great! it delivered more power than the head unit and could be easily hidden behind the dash. Unlike the Alpine, this JL delivers much more power. Granted, it is also larger and will require you to provide proper power and grounding -- the power and ground are 8ga - 6ga. When paired to a set of JL C5s, it was night and day difference!
