I installed a setup in a buddy's Silverado, with two L5s running off a JBL 1200.1 and it hits quite nicely.

the fact that it was defective probably has nothing to do with JBL...

where did you get it from?

bought it from sonic electronix. we tested it in 5 different cars, nothin much at all. so, to my car we tested a jl audio 1000/1, kicker 1000.1 ZX and 2 alpines and they all worked fine, same wiring, same ground.

This is your first mistake right here -

You should'nt get angry at (or blame, whatever) the manufacturer of the product but rather, the distributor or store. Sonic Electronix sucks along with many other online retailers.

so after plugged it in and it didn't work they sent you another one for free right?


my jbl bp 600.1 is 6 years old by the way and has never shut off rain/shine/hot/cold.

nah, just sold it on the streets for $450. Make me happy, only paid $270 for it. He said he'd fix it so i'm all good.



I didn't know sonic electronics had a bad rep. i bought lots of *stuff* from them. first time I bought an amp though
