Tag: Stable Power

Let’s face it. We drive vehicles that have mediocre audio systems, so we shell out some bucks to upgrade our systems so we have the latest features and superior sound quality. Yet in some cases, we still fall short of our system’s capabilities and our personal expectations and it’s sometimes not the fault of the equipment we’ve installed. This can actually be blamed on the actual power supply from our vehicles, which like the power we have in our homes- is actually not very clean or stable.

I'm pleased to see a good variety of good sounding 5-channel amplifiers available. These small footprint designs offer greater flexibility, more wattage for the buck and save you $$ on installation- not to mention you only need to purchase one amp.

The latest addition comes from JL Audio, one of the leaders in small amplifier design and performance. The company already is enjoying success with it’s high-end HD series 900/5 amplifier, and now introduces the XD700/5 which compliments the HD model within its XD lineup of small efficient car amps.
