Yes I know they cost a lot but if your going that route your just gonna have to pony up the dough. Your 500/5 will power it just fine. The fact that this sub has a 6" voice coil gives it amazing cone control and power handling.

You may want to check the "JL Stealth Box" thread as I posted in detail along with the plans and measurements for my boundary loaded enclosure with this sub. Its truley impressive with its perfect balance of SPL and SQ with an emphasis on SQ. My car will be competing in IASCA this summer in an SQ competition as I have been sponsored by Car Toys.

I listee mostly to rock and some classical music. I play CD and DVD audio disks (Kenwood HU). In your experience, is the JL Audio 13.5" sub easy to tune to this music? Is it best to control the sub with an Audio Control unit or __?

X-Max is not everything! I have compared subs with moderate x-max vs massive x-max and a sub with a large x-max does not necessarily guarantee better performance.
