Better Than Expected
Scott from Scott City, MO on 1/23/2024
The Crutchfield rep. recommended this amp for my application in a 1965 convertible Mustang. I used my existing front Pioneer speakers and tied them into channel 1&2. The sub then tied into the mono channel. With a little tuning adjustments to the amp the system sounds fantastic! I was hoping for full clear sound and that is exactly what I got.
Pros: Great Amp, easy to install.
Cons:

Anything JL Audio Rocks!
David from Salt Lake City, UT on 10/2/2022
Great Amp, I only needed a three channel amplifier for my business cargo van, this amp checked all the boxes, I was running two small Jl Audio amps, a XD200/2 and a XD300/1 mono amp. So it's nice to have one single amp take care of everything with a smaller footprint and less wires, you can't go wrong with anything that has the JL Audio name on it. This amp powers my Focal K2 Power 165KRX2 Speakers like a dream, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
Pros: Clean powerful sound. Small Footprint, amazing quality that I expect and get from JL Audio.
Cons: A little pricey but what isn't these days, everything cost more these days when the dollar is be devalued by excess money printing, thanks Brandon

Great amp with a big punch
Crutchfield customer from Sewell, NJ on 1/19/2021
2017 Ram 1500
This amp lives up to the JL AUDIO brand reputation. It's extremely compact but packs a huge punch in my 2017 ram 1500 crew cab. I have it running front components and my rear door speakers @2ohms and a JL 12TW1-2 and paired with an epicenter (probably overkill but oh well). The amp stays nice and cool even after cranking up over a long period of time. I love the sound quality and the versatility in this amp.
Pros: Everything
Cons: None.

Crutchfield customer from Saint Johns, FL on 10/14/2020
Easy install, straight forward setup and hopefully since it's JL Audio it will be very reliable. Right choice for my underseat woofers and added sub woofer!

JL Audio XD500/3v2
Crutchfield customer from Gainesville, GA on 10/29/2018
So far so good. Used this to replace the stock Bose amp in a C6 corvette. It's powering a single 10" JL sub and components in the doors. PLENTY of power and sounds great.

JL Audio XD500/3v2
John from Yorkville, IL on 12/6/2017
These XD amps by JL Audio are very impressive! My XD500 runs my tweeters and sub powerfully and VERY clean.Still can't believe how such a small amp can pack such a powerful punch.The old saying "You get what you pay for" is especially true for these amps.
Pros: Very small,powerful and good looking amp.Wires all come out one side.
Cons: If any it would be price but like I said you get what you pay for.

XD500/3v2 Review
joeyazzata4 from Florida on 11/30/2015
Unbelievable amplifier... Using it to drive a set of C2-650 components and a JL Audio TW5v2 in a Silverado crew cab, clear highs that get so loud my ears can't handle it, slams the TW5 and the 12TW3 I used to have with out breaking a sweat... Ive even played music on almost full volume for 45min to an hour and this thing hasn't even got hot...
Pros: Small, good looking, great sounding, packs a punch, efficient
Cons: Wish they had a XD800/3 like a bigger 3 channel for running two TW3s but this one gets the job done.
