JL Audio MHX300/1 on Sale for $99

[robert843]

So I used this to power a 10 inch JL Sub in my last boat and I'm starting to piece together my up grade for the current boat and ran across this through cruthfield for $99. It worked great in my last boat and sounded awesome power the one sub. I picked it up again now just have a good 4 channel amp to finish the amps off.

Funny I just ran across this online and had the same thought.
Thinking of using this for my 10" sub also
I would think you could power 2 subs with this?
You had time to play with it, thoughts?

I do not need to add a sub. I do not need to add a sub. I do not need to add a sub.

I have had two of them. One in the old boat and one in this boat they do good and yes with two 4 ohm subs you could wire in a 2 ohm set up on this amp. I plan to add another sub next year and will not replace the amp.

Do ever feel you need more power?

I've had that on my Amazon list since September, it's always been a hundred bucks. It's only 160w rms @4ohm. This is 20 more and is 250rms

It’s also a class A/B, more power hungry than class D

Lol this is a trick question. I'm running a JL 10 IB3 and this amp produce more power on a bench test then its rated for so it already exceeds the subwoofers power handling so no I don't feel the need for more power in my set up. More bass sometime yes but that requires more speakers not more power for me. If you sub woofers power handling exceeds the specs on this yes I would like for a stronger amp.

I saw you just posted never mind lol. These have very similar specs in 4 ohm the JX250 produces 15 more watts but in 2 ohm the 300/1 produces 50 more watts so its great for running 2 JL 10 IB3's at their peak handling. Biggest differences between the two is the 300/1 is a class D amp which runs cooler and more power efficient then the Class A/B JX250/1 both which our important in our type if marine setups. Also the 300/1 is a marine rated amp with the internal circuits coated the JX250/1 is a car amp and will be prone to deteriorate with the marine elements.

Eh, I've been running car amps in boats since the early 90s in salt water slipped boats. Never had a failure. I agree that class d is better, but I'm not playing the boat stereo all day with the engines off. Maybe this is a sign that i need to buy one more jl10 ib!

 

[Jack Bailey]

Thanks @robert843 for making me spend more money lol.
