The JL Audio JX amplifiers have risen to the top of the company’s sales charts by delivering JL Audio’s no-nonsense, pure performance philosophy at very affordable price points.

When you inspect a JX amplifier, you will see that nothing is spent on gimmicks, blue lights or chrome. Instead, you'll see specified oversized output transistors and rugged MOSFET power supplies that ensure ample current and thermal capacity. These beefy parts operate well under their limits to deliver stable performance and significantly more reliability than the wimpy devices commonly found in many competing products. All of these components add up to solid bass definition and cleaner, louder high frequency output that gets the most out of your speaker system.



Manville Smith, JL Audio’s V.P. of Marketing says, “The latest member of the JX lineup is a new Class D, 500 Watt monoblock, replacing the best-selling JX500/1. By shifting this model from traditional Class A/B technology to the more efficient Class D design, we were able to significantly reduce the size of the amplifier, while still delivering outstanding power and fidelity.”
