JL Audio is simply the best in my opinion. Lots of power for my whole system. Crystal clear audio. Amazing bass reproduction. Doesn't cut out like other amps I've had when they would get hot.

Albert from Remington on 9/23/2020
I bought this amp along with a complete matching set of JL Audio C3 components for the doors, and deck of my 2003 Mercury Marauder from Crutchfield maybe 4 years ago. I'm shopping for another like it for a Jeep I'm building now, so I decided it's time to do a review on it. Since I've had it, I've been nothing but pleased with it. That's why I'm looking to buy another. It runs the entire system, including a 12" sub in a small sealed down firing enclosure. (the Jeep will be getting a 10" due to space requirements) I like a sealed enclosure. The bottom end is tight, and the smaller box keeps my trunk space for daily use like picking up fish fry supplies for the VFW where I'm a commander. Mine is mounted directly on the sub enclosure, and the vibrations haven't bothered it either... I listen to lossless files, and the sound is extremely clean. This is important to me. I'm not into booming the neighborhood, though it does go plenty loud, but the quality of the sound is very clean with zero background noise...
Pros: Small, and powerful, with a very clean sound.
Cons:

Happy with this one.
Rondal from Cullowhee, NC on 4/28/2019
Nice for installation options. I chose active crossover on set of component speakers and small sub in trunk. Not a bass monster but well balanced.Small, fit under seat without any problems.
Pros: Small, 5 channel options, front/rear or front active + sub
Cons: Not a fan of the clamp style wire holders.

Great Amp in a small package
Jeremy from Dallas, TX on 4/22/2019
I purchased this amp to replace a Hertz HDP5. When I received the amp I was surprised how small it was. Other reviews mention it, but until you see it you don't realize how much they packed into a small package. This was installed under the rear seat of a 2018 Ram Crew Cab so the small form really helped. The installation was straight forward and I used the JL Audio Youtube tutorial to set the amplifier gains using a DMM. Right away the first thing I noticed was how quiet the amp is. The Hertz had noticeable noise during quiet passages, especially with the volume up. With the JL, there is no noise at all. Even with the volume all the way up there is nothing. My speakers are rated at 100 watts RMS and the 75 RMS this amp puts out is more than enough to drive them. They sound great at all listening levels. My sub box still has not arrived so not been able to test the sub channel yet, but don't expect anything different there. This amplifier is not the cheapest 5 channel amp at this power, but you definitely get what you pay for. I am very happy so far and have no reason to believe I won't be happy for a long time to come.
Pros: Size, Sound Quality, Build Quality
Cons: None

JL Audio XD700/5v2
Guest from Dallas, TX on 3/18/2018
Bought this amplifier to replace 2 Fosgate 300w amplifiers for 4 doors & the subwoofer in my '14 Focus ST (ST1). Fosgate amplifiers lasted less than 1 month before I could fry an egg on the 4-channel amplifier. Decided to change everything for this JL Audio 5-channel amplifier. Everything sounded great for about 1 month. Headed home tonight, sound acted weird, funny smell started, then no sub woofer. I was running a Kicker 300w 8-inch sub per the amp's requirements (compRT 8-inch 300w 2 ohm). Amp should handle 300w no problem per brochure, yet failed miserably. Measured levels with a Picoscope (from head unit, to line converter, to amplifier) prior to committing system installation (nothing past 4v preamp voltage, shouldn't have had a failure). Not impressed.

Nate from Burlington, VT on 1/22/2017
Very happy with this amp! I did my whole system (HU, speakers, sub, amp) all in one shot, so I don't have a baseline to compare to, but the sound quality is excellent. The big pro of this amp is how compact it is. I was surprised when I first opened the box at how small it really is. Super helpful for finding a discreet mounting location for a super clean install.
Pros: Quality product in a compact package
Cons:

Michael from Knoxville, TN on 10/6/2016
I put this in my newly acquired 2nd vehicle. I have a 10 year old version of the same amp in my other car, and it's been great! If you need a compact 5 channel amp, this is the one to get!
Pros: sound, longevity, compact size, I can't overheat it
Cons: none I have found

Nice amp small footprint
Kevin from schaumburg, IL on 2/28/2016
Easy set up. Nice sound. Decent features. 5th channel power limits your subwoofer setup. But, if you are looking for a solid amp with decent power for single sub setup that will also fit in a tight space, this is the one!
Pros: Easy set up. Nice sound. Decent features. Small footprint.
Cons: Limited subwoofer output

Great 5 Channel Amp
Utennessee from Tennessee on 1/5/2016
Great amp. It paired perfectly with my Polk DB 6501 Speakers with a JL audio Stealth box in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. Easy install, allows preamp inputs and speaker level inputs. It is very small for as much power as it has. Works and sounds great. It is pricey but worth the money.
Pros: Small size, wide variety of setup options based on your vehicle
Cons: Cost

Big Sound Small Package
XprtPcFxr from California on 9/22/2015
I was a little bit taken back by price but bit the bullet. So glad i did! I am a musician and have a very keen ear. I want to close my eyes and put myself in the studio or at a live venue. This amp will do that for you without spending thousands.
Pros: Plenty of clean power. Easy to calibrate. Not insanely expensive. Small footprint for easy installation
Cons: a bit pricier than the 100 to 200 price tags of those standard consumer amps

Great product
BryanG from Michigan on 9/11/2015
I was originally just looking to add some bass but decided to amp up my whole system in my 2013 Ram 1500 crew cab. This amp rocks all around! I get clear highs from my Kicker 3.5" dash speakers. Great mid from my Blaupunkt and Rockford in the front and rear doors and the bass from my JL Audio 10" Stealthbox is unbelievable!. Get this amp! You will not be disappointed
Pros: Where do I begin? This has everything I was looking for. Sound quality is amazing
Cons: Absolutely none!

Nice small footprint
Crutchfield customer from Tennessee on 6/9/2015
This is a cool little amp that have lots of options. This was a direct factory amp replacement for me. I am using this amp to run my front comps, under seat subs, and a JL 10" W6v2. It runs all of these speakers with ease.
Pros: Nice small footprint.
Cons: None so far.

JL AMP XD-700/5V2
Mike from Fort mill sc on 8/20/2014
Absolutely awesome amp. I have a 94 ford ranger pick up regular cab. I installed 6.99 JL speakers in the front and 5th JL in the rear. I installed the CS112LG-TW3 Power wedge and put it behind the passenger seat. The right seat can't go all the way back but it was the only way I could get a 12 of this quality in the truck. The RMS on the w3 will take 400 watts. I'm only pushing 300 max rms at 2 ohms. It hits pretty darn hard with no more airspace that's in the truck. Would have liked to went with the 900 watt 5 channel but didn't wanna put anymore money into it. The door speakers sound amazing. I have it set up pretty close. I'm still breakin the sub in. Its unreal how it all sounds together. So clear and bassy.
Pros: Small powerful easy to adjust. Instructions make so simple for anyone.
Cons: Only con is that I don't have the 900 watt also lol

mbrien from Louisiana on 6/13/2014
What a great amp!!! It is small, but more than able to back it up with ample punch!!! I`m driving 4 Focal splits and two JL 10" subs and it is more than up to the task of powering them all in a small package. Being a full class D, with more efficiency and runs cool. It deifinately has to be one of the best 5-channel amps out there A++++.
Pros: Good power output, decent warm sound for class D, clean solid design. Everything we have come to know and love about JL Audio is there.
Cons: none
