JL Audio is a relative newcomer to the amplifier category but they made up for that by employing some of the most respected engineers in the car audio industry. JL is well known for their subwoofers and they wanted to make sure they could deliver good power to those woofers which is why they entered the category in the first place.
The Slash v2 series is a simplistic clever design that allows all of the wiring and connections to come out of the amplifier from one side, this design parameter while not knew was introduced by this engineering design crew and being that they have been doing it for longer than anyone the design is the most efficient.
As I stated before this is an extremely tight top five and depending upon your personal criteria for choosing an amplifier you may rate the Slash v2 series differently. Much like all the others in the top five the Slash v2 offers built in crossovers and several different power and channel configurations.
I rank this series fifth on my list because of package size and overall raw power output.
