Awesome amp!!!! I have had mine for some time!! Will never get rid of this!!

Great as always desperately hoping you test the JL Audio VXi series soon

jl audio is quality.i always find good deals on offer up always looking for the 1000/1 and w7 speakers the amp is always around 350 400 the w7s from 10s to 13.5 250 to 500 great deals cuz new its insane prices 1400

Thanks buddy great vid, am definitely interested in this amp, sums up all I have read

you should do a efficiency test between two amps that test out at the same wattage. Like say this amp and a much cheaper one like an Audio Pipe or something to that effect.

Wow just got this amp! Great sound cleaning amp & it pairs nicely with my 10W6v3 Thank you for the dyno! Subbed!

Hey BigD, Love your vids. I just bought a used but in really good condition slash 300/4v1 for $135 and a XD600/1v1 for $200. Did I get a good deal?

Good vid. And I agree with you to a point. It's a well-built sexy amp. But not $450 sexy. Plenty of other QUALITY NAME-BRAND amplifiers for ~$200 less. And while $200 isn't the world, that difference becomes more when we look at the 1000/1 or 1000/5. $620 for a 1kW amp is tough these days. (lol Looking back at the 90s and now can't believe I'm saying that LOL)

im running 2 8w7 with this amp . sounds good to me but is it optimal? was gonna buy another one . what should i do?

Hey BIG D! This was JL XD600/1v2 back in 2017! Did JL do some revisions of NEXT-D technology making the 2021 models more EFFICIENT, especially at 4 compared to 2 Ohms? I remember some truly great 83% efficiency here on the older model Rockford R500xd1. Everybody I speak to around here thinks the JL XD600/1v2 is the MORE efficient of the two! What's the REAL DEAL TODAY? What of the Rockford R2 500/1? Hmmm.

55% Efficiency @ 2 ohm. How hot does it get full tilt? You would think for 450 it'd be way way better? Am I right or wrong BigD?

The China bias from the 80's continues to infiltrate it seems. They may have cheaper labor due to a different economic infrastructure but the truth is, they have some of the most sophisticated and advanced manufacturing facilities in the world. It's not like the USA doesn't have any lazy workers or anything ya know. You might help a local economy somewhere in the USA but it doesn't mean the quality will be better at all. Too many daydreamers, drama queen, meth head workers here to be trusted working on an assembly line while maintaining a good work focus and work ethics for it to be any better at manufacturing than any other country. High end, low end...it doesn't make any difference what country it comes from as everyone produces terrible to fantastic products. What matters is good engineering, state of the art manufacturing and quality control.

Off brand or topic buuuut any chance you can dyno a Rockford fosgate power 1000a2? I'm super curious what it does it's pushing two kicker competition VR's and let me tell you this amp maxes them out completely bass is very loud for amp. Thanks big D!

My 8s are my mids and one evl 12 is my bass sub and with only about 1000 watts altogether my car gets off. No lights dim when it hits, bass is crystal clear and the entire car flexes. I wanna meter it to see where it's at. I'm not a SPL guy though I am definetly a SPQ but at the same time I want my neighbor to know I got the beat in the back lol. Hard to make a budget system that can make me happy but I'm close to having it done.

Patience, grasshopper....

While this maybe a quality amplifier, it is still way to expensive. For reference, the Pioneer GM-9601 will put out way more power (1700w @1ohm) but only costs around $150. For an amp that costs close to 3x as much, the JL should put out much more power or be certified down to 1 ohm. As mentioned in the video, it doesn't even come with a remote level adjust, a feature that definitely should come with the amp especially considering the Pioneer comes with one. I can also see a price increase because of the size being a factor. However, I would not consider that to be worth a massive jump.

@wal

I agree it should come with a remote bass knob, I see both JL and Alpine sell these separately for their higher end amps. This XD600/1 is only 8.5x7x2 inches, can be easily hidden for a stealth setup. It's not for everybody. I bought this one used for 150 and I'm very happy with it.
