monoblock subwoofer amplifier
Absolute Power... Every Time.

Ken Pohlmann, Mobile Entertainment magazine’s electronics expert, recently reviewed
our 500/1 monoblock subwoofer amplifier and found a lot to like…
Introducing the
JL AUDIO 500/1
monoblock subwoofer amplifier
On our sophisticated Active
Crossover and Advanced Bass
Control Sections…
“I’ve reviewed plenty of amplifiers
in my time, but I’ve never seen a sub
amp provide such a sonic tool set…”
“It offers such a plethora of controls
that you can dial out many unwanted
artifacts to get exactly the sound you
are looking for.”
“By tweaking the 500/1’s bass boost
and preamp-output section, I was able
to exactly dial in the perfect transition
between the subs and the (mains).”
“It’s cleverly designed to do almost
anything you need to perfect your
low end.”
On JL Audio’s R.I.P.S. (Regulated,
Intelligent Power Supply) System...
“Supply voltage can range from 11 to
14.5 volts, the range not significantly
affecting power output.”
“...the amplifier automatically matches
the speakers, allowing more flexibility
in speaker selection and wiring.”
On the 500/1’s sonic performance...
“If you’re more interested in lots of
bass with lots of sound quality... this is
the niche where the 500/1 is aimed.”
“With the 500/1, the massiveness
(of the bassline) was fully intact, but
the articulation of each individual
instrument was also audible.”
“That combination of high power,
loud levels, and clean detail is
extremely rare, and I felt that the
500/1 was superb in that respect.”
“...the bottom octave was awesome,
with good power levels throughout
and excellent transient response on
Jimmy Chamberlain’s kick-drum and
floor toms..”
