Hey I am looking to install a jl audio 12w3v2 in my car and am looking for some opinions or recommendations on a monoamplifier to power it. The one I had in mind was the jl audio 500/1 slash series, but I am open for opinion so if you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks

Might want to look at Alpine's MRD-D605 Class D Mono amp too. Can get this one of the net for under $300.00.

Nice electronics, menu driven setup is easy and plenty of power too.
That's 600 Wrms @ 2 ohms.
The more I have researched Alpine products, the more respect I have gained for them. Not that JL is a slouch... just a bit pricey, unless you have a connection.

Actually, you would be fine w/ the JL 250/1, the 500/1 is reaching into the dark grey area of a W3v2, the optimal rating is in the 300-400 wRMS range, and the 250/1 can putout close to 300 when installed properly and receiving 11-14.4 volts. JL amps are pricey, which is why I went w/ Diamond Audio, they are somewhat cheaper, my personal experiences with them have been great. I run a 600.1 @ 1ohm and the performance is excellent.
