Actually, MTX under rates all of there thunder product. That birth sheet on the 6500d I owned was 638x1 at 2ohm but they rate at 12.5volts.

MTX over the JBL product anyday.
Mind if I ask how much you're paying for them?

A used Crossfire or Memphis 1000D can be had for ~$300 which adds upgrading possibilities in the future. Just a thought.

I had the 6500D running three 6000 series MTX 12's in my last car. It ran very well, but I have also owned almost every JBL amp, and have 3 of them now. I think the JBls are cleaner, but the MTX might have the more overall power.

MTX 6500! i've sold/used tons of different MTX amps and the 6500 was one of the best performers for the money, you'll be impressed with it. If the deal falls through the 600.1 is still a pretty solid amp, I have customers still rockin these, and they seem pretty happy with them...later
