JBL GTO Series Amplifier Product Review

When it comes to powering your speakers & sub-woofers in your car audio set-up choosing the right amplifier can be quite a task. JBL has made this choice easier with there JBL GTO Series Amplifier range.

 

For Running your components or loudspeakers there is the JBL GTO1004 600-Watt 4 Channel Full-Range Amplifier with built-in variable eletronic Crossover and variable Bass boost.

This is the perfect amp for getting the best out of your components/loudspeakers.

  • 75W RMS x 4 @ 2 Ohms
  • 55W RMS x 4 @ 4 Ohms
  • 360W RMS x 1 (Bridged) @ 2 Ohms
  • 225W RMS x 1(Bridged) @ 4 Ohms

Like all GTO Series Amp’s it has a Full-Range Preamp Outputs making it easy for the user to add another Amp if needed. It also features Direct Connect, which allows up to 4-gauge power and ground cable just to make sure it gets all the juice it needs.

JBL Also have the JBL GTO5355 660-Watt 5Channel Full-Range Amplifier.

The JBL GTO5355 is designed to power a complete car audio set-up using four Full-Range channels and one Sub-Woofer channel.

Making it ideal for getting a-little more out of your set-up without running multiple amps.

  • 75W RMS x 4 + 360W RMS x 1 @ 2 Ohms
  • 55W RMS x 4 + 225W RMS x 1 @ 4 Ohms

To get the most out of this amp it is suggested that it is paired up with a set of JBL GTO Series loudspeakers and sub-woofers.

Now my favourite part of the JBL GTO Series Amplifier Range, Monoblocks! These Monoblock amplifiers are designed to get the most out of any sub-woofer and range from 360Watts – 1500Watts.

The smallest of the JBL GTO Series Monoblocks is the JBL GTO3501 and for a 360Watt amp it packs a big punch for such a small amp!

  • 360W RMS x 1 @ 2 Ohms
  • 225W RMS x 1 @ 4 Ohms

In the middle of the JBL GTO Series Monoblocks is the JBL GTO7001 and is more than enough for most sub-woofers with its 700Watts!

  • 700W RMS x 1 @ 2 Ohms
  • 425W RMS x 1 @ 4 Ohms

The biggest of the JBL GTO Series Monoblocks is the JBL GTO14001 and it is a mammoth of an amp with 1500Watts of pure power!

  • 1500W RMS x 1 @ 2 Ohms
  • 1200W RMS x 2 @ 4 Ohms

One of my favourite features of the JBL GTO Series Monoblocks is the JBL RLC Amplifier Remote which allows you to control the volume of your Monoblock with a turn of knob, which comes in handy if you find yourself with people in your car that do not appreciate Bass as much as you do!
