Did you know that most competition sound quality systems consist of 2 front speakers and a single subwoofer? It's true. This is also the reason why many audiophiles refuse to power up their rear speakers with an amplifier. Generally, they leave them running off of the head unit for a rear fill.

JL Audio's XD500/3 amplifier is a perfect amp for this type of setup. This Class D amplifier with produce 75 watts for each of your front speakers, and 300 watts to a component subwoofer. Plenty of power for an intense experience. Most high quality speakers perform at their optimum at 75 watts. For example, the JL Audio TR650CSi component speaker system would rock any car when provided 75 watts.

The great thing about any XD amplifier is it's merely impossible to shut them down. Thanks to the Thermal Rollback feature that scales the voltage back by 10 percent when the amp reaches peak temperatures. This is a surefire way to keep the amp cooler and playing longer. The audible difference is negligible to the human ear, therefore your experience remains consistent.
