    JL 1000/1 would be a great amp for that set-up! Get ready to drop some cash though.

    SD is correct. Expensive but Sweet! Both of us are running the JL 500/1 which is half the power of the 1000/1. I think Altons Audio in Goldsboro sells JL. I don't know anyone local that sales JL. There is a couple of new audio shops there in Clayton though, maybe they carry JL.

    On the other hand Mtx builds good quality into their products as well. They make 2 different lines the pro series and the every day Circut city, Best buy etc. I've run the pro series for years with no problems. Best bet is to go and demo everything in your price range get specs and ask others. Good luck.

    Is that used? I would be careful about buying a piece of equipment that expensive used. You can get them for under $700 shipped, brand new on ebay. If you found a new one for $450 then definitely jump on it...i personally would not buy something like this used though.

    2 500/1's will work just as good as a 1000/1 BUT it will be harder to tune correctly! $450 for a brand new 1000/1 is a GREAT price, but I wouldn't buy a used one. Too many things could be wrong unless you try it out first.

    I ran MTX amps in the past also! Good amps but I think the JL's are cleaner and not so power sensitive.

    JL

    Ive had JL, Kicker, Alpine, and Memphis amps and JL is by far the best IMO.

    I have been doing some extensive research on it...and some of the reviews are saying that the kicker is far superior to the JL.....don't understand why it would be cheaper by a a couple dollars if that was true!!!!!....that JL will not be too much for my mtx 7512-44's will it?
