Your on time just like always
I got it for 250 plus shipping, so $270.
I cant wait, the thing looks so sexy, the insides look beefy also. The local JL shop here sells em for $539, that was awhile ago so its probly lower but not by much. Iam gonna go there soon, they have sells going on alpine cd players.

yeah. i usually go to bed around 4 am or so.... the JL 500.1 is a really nice amp.. ive always liked JL, but definately over priced stuff... with more and more companies coming out that are using top grade products and such and selling them for alot, Adire And RE offer the same level of products for alot less.. maybe even better than JL. JL is goin to have to lower their prices, but i know they wont suffer too bad because there are quite a few die hard JL people out there. ohwell, as long as they keep up their work and everything. everything should be good.

Where did you purchase the 500/1?
I would be interested if someone is selling more of those.

I forgot to add that the amp didn't have the bottom cover, the installed he had was made to show the insides off, and he lost it. I was wondering were to get this at, and how much would it cost? I was just thinking about calling JL, and going to the audio shop too, just wondering how big of a deal this is if any.
ive got one
