Hey wondering whats a better amp? Overall, etc. WHats better to power lets say 2 12inch alpine type r's.

Thanks

JL has puts out same power all the time, JBL will fluctuate with voltage and impedance. If you can afford the JL, buy it.

but wouldnt the JBL one be better kuz its got 600rms, and JL only got 500rms?

What else should i know about the difference, pros/cons of each...

if your not afraid to spend money, %100 go with the jl. imo, its twice the amp.

The power difference isn't very big considering the JL 500/1 is a lot more underrated than the BP600.1 (500/1 does about 625 on the bench, BP600.2 does about 650). If you have the money, definitely get the 500/1 because it's a much better amplifier in basically every aspect except that practically insignificant difference in power ...

JL, no question about it.

The JL is rated at 500rms at ANY impedance from 1.5 to 5 0hms and at ANY voltage between 11.5-15 volts. This means that you r subs will always see the EXACT same power.
The JBL is rated at 2ohms and a perticular voltage(not sure which, 12 or 14.4) and the power will flucuate as the impedance and the voltage does. This means you system will sound different when you first turn it on then it does an hour later (as the voltage drops)

I'd probably go with the Jl because it is of better quality than the JBL, IMO. Many more features on the JL plus fully regulated power supply, and it is very flexible for the fact that it puts out the same power at many different impedances. And they look awesome
