JBL PowerValve BP300.1 Car Amp

Pros: Low current,high power, large wire terminals, speaker level inputs.
Cons: It's discontinued.

I bought a used JBL BP300.1 because I thought I might add a sub to the stock stereo in my 2006 Civic Si. I remembered the good things I'd read about the BP300.1 and on www.sounddomain.com forums in 2001 and started looking for a small amp to power a ...

Pros: Sound quality, build quality, price
Cons: Possible undocumented feature (see last section of review body)

First impressions: VERY POSITIVE

Pros: Class D amp, PRICE, looks, quality of construction.
Cons: size and levels

Pros: Excellent power for the price.
Cons: Settings can be difficult to adjust when mounted.

Pros: Lots of power never overheats
Cons: don't have any yet

This is by far the best amp i have ever owned. I push two 270 watt 5 ohm subs with it and it will make the little disco ball hanging from my mirror bounce an inch. It has great clarity. easy to operate i dont even have the owners manual as i bought it used.

Pros: Powerful, cheap, good quality, all metal casing, built tough
Cons: Discontinued

I have this amp and it POUNDS! I have 2 12 inch 1000 watt Pyle Blue Waves hooked up to it and it bumps them like crazy in my ported bandpass box! 300 watts RMS powering 1000 watts RMS worth of subs (500 RMS each)? I got this amp with 2 12s for $100! It was well worth it!
