How closely balanced are the left/right channels on this amp on low volumes? On my current amp turned up about 30% before being balanced in volume.

Channels seem balanced all the way up and down to me, this is a great little amp!

I turned mine on and can only go by ear (no spl meter and no balance control) and it seems to be the same volume from both sides.

Hi, have not checked or measured it formally. But from hearing experience they seem to be balanced very well. Have not heard any volume unevenness left and roght channels when listening. Also the imaging is precisely in the center of my AV rack , almost like a virtual center channel, another reason I believe there are no balancing issues

Yeah, i have a 500 but only run it at 250 because if i turn it up any higher it drones out all the mid and treble in my pickup. 300 watts it pleanty for this sub, cant go wrong with JL Audio!

Yea it wilk work id recommend getting a bigger amp tho. I got two of these wired down to 1ohm with a planet audio ac5000.1d so they are gettin around 1500rms each at 1ohm and man do they pound

I am driving mine with an ADCOM power amp @ 150W - 8 ohm - per channel - without distortion. These puppies clear AND loud.

Mine had excellent bass from the start...almost too much. It might be your source that is lacking bass.

Bro I'll be 100% honest it's a good amp but it's for sure not pushin 3000 amps. It hits hard but it has it's limit and will shut off if pushed too hard...one you have it set and equalized right it's a solid amp I have 2 bridged subs on it and it works perfect. Out of the 4 mths I've had it, it's only overheated once and shut off maybe 3 times because I turned it past it's limit lol but overall it's pretty good man iwould suggest it for a good sound for sure!

In my opinion that amp is not stable at that impedance. I have 3 of those amps in 1.33ohm config and 1.5 ohm config.I would either invest in a different amp or buy 2 one for each sub.

Good question...I have mines up top too, it does not sound bad. What receiver or amplifier are you using or how many watts per channel?I have an Onkyo 80 watts per channel and it sounds pretty good but I am in the process of getting the Onkyo 828.Check your settings, db

Once your tone has been achieved or set with the pre -gain control, your overall volume of the channel is set with the post gain control. Hope that helps. It's an awesome amp!

there is some static noise yes..as with many amps...but if it is minimal when playing..you are good. If not, I would contact the seller.

The sub out isn't a fixed voltage, the master volume does adjust L/R and sub equally.

Get a better amp. Better amp=clearer sound=les distortion=no blown speakers including Sub. Good luck.

The answers about being two separate channels in the tube are correct. But there is an issue in the amp that needs a simple modification. Because of the way it was designed, there is an issue with balance and separation of channels. If you balance to one side or the other, there is still sound out of both left and right speakers or headphones.

The RCA Clear Top is my favorite so far. The answers about being two separate channels in the tube are correct. But there is an issue in the amp that needs a simple modification.

Hi Tyrus, I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well. Thanks and I hope this helps Fernando

the clean channel sounds really good. I was happy with the distortion channel once I got the knack of dialing tones in. The amp is pretty loud alone. If you are using processor like Digitech or whatever, it really increases the volume. I no longer use this amp, it was just too loud for my needs, so I downsized to a 15 watt Marshall MG15CFX. I'll get around to reviewing that one of these days.

I believe that as long as you are only changing the preamp tubes (12AX7), you don't need to mess with the bias. If you're changing the power tubes as well then you may need a bias, depends on your amp.

I tried my t70p with my dac. For hotel California, the first 10seconds there is only a guitar which should on the right. So it is not unbalanced.
