Our take on the JL Audio VX1000 1i 1000W DSP Car Amplifier

The VX1000/1i is JL Audio's 1000-watt mono Class D amplifier with a built-in DSP, so it powers a subwoofer and handles crossover, EQ and time alignment without a separate processor. It is part of the VXi line, which is tuned through JL's TüN software on a PC and stores presets onboard. It suits someone building an active system who wants clean sub power and full digital control in one compact chassis. Against plain mono amps it costs more and needs a laptop to set up, but it replaces a separate DSP and line-output converter. Owners rate the output and tuning flexibility; the common complaints are the software learning curve and the need for a careful gain and level setup.

Pros
  • 1000 W into a sub at low impedance from a small Class D chassis
  • Onboard DSP with crossovers, EQ, time alignment and presets
  • TüN software gives full control over each channel
  • Damping factor of 400 keeps bass controlled
  • Runs cooler and draws less current than a Class AB amp of similar power
Cons
  • Setup requires a PC and the TüN software, not a phone app
  • No bridging, so it is sub-only
  • Needs a clean, strong electrical supply to make full power
  • DSP tuning takes time to learn

Questions and answers

Do I need a separate DSP with this amp?
No. The DSP is built in, with crossovers, EQ and time alignment set through JL's TüN software on a PC.
Can it power door speakers?
It is a mono subwoofer amplifier. Use a multi-channel VXi model for front and rear speakers.
What impedance subwoofers can it drive?
It is rated for low-impedance subwoofer loads, so check the rated impedance range in the manual before wiring.
Does it come with a tuning controller?
No. Tuning is done from a laptop running TüN; a wired remote level control is a separate accessory.
Is it worth it over a plain mono amp?
If you want sub power and DSP in one chassis and will use the tuning tools, yes. If you only need raw power, a plain mono amp does that for less.
Where is the JL Audio VX1000 1i 1000W DSP Car Amplifier cheapest?
At Abt Electronics, for $1,449.99, as of our latest check.
