JL Audio XD1000/1v2 1000 Watt Mono Amplifier

The JL Audio XD1000/1v2 mono amplifier is designed to power your subwoofer(s) and delivers up to 1000 watts of RMS power at 2 ohms. This is the top-of-line amplifier that uses JL's NexD switching technology. The XD amplifiers offer superior sound performance and signal processing thanks to JL's advanced thermal rollback protection. That is a fancy way of saying, "This amp is efficient and stays cooler than most," to eliminate distortion and deliver harder-hitting, better-sounding power.

The XD1000/1v2 delivers cleaner, better sounding power than the RD1000/1 or the JD1000/1. Although they are all rated the same, the difference is the thermal management of the XD and the components used inside the amplifier. The XD1000/1 sounds better, has superior signal processing, and since it runs cooler, you get less distortion. This amplifier has a low-pass filter that is selectable at either 12dB or 24dB per octave between 50 - 500 Hz. In addition, this amp comes with a infrasonic filter at 30 Hz that can be turned on and off the protect your subwoofer from over-excursion, reduce distortion, and increase efficiency.

The JL Audio XD series amplifiers are the "Go-to" amps for those that want the best JL has to offer, but do not want to get into the HD, Slash, and VXi amplifiers due to cost or complexity reasons. When the JL reps put systems in their cars, they use the XD amps.

This amplifier will work with a 4 AWG wiring kit and accepts low-level inputs. The XD1000/1v2 has a black, powdercoated finish and a brushed aluminum cover.

If you want to save some money and sacrifice some performance, you can downgrade to the the JL Audio RD1000/1. If you think you might want more than 1000 watts, check out the RD1500/1, the Slash 1200/1, or the HD1200/1.
