JBC - EX1000; Ever Heard of??

[sparg93]

I have a JBC EX-1000 amp; JBC literally stands for "Just Be Cool" (i'm not kidding).

Ever heard of this amp before? I searched on google and the only sites I found with this amp were in Japanese; it's New in Box and has been sitting in my house for ~6yrs.

I'm building my first system and was going to use this to power two subs. Is there a way I can test the amp to see if it still works and the "quality" of the signal?? (w/o hooking it up to $500 worth of subs)

The box is in English but I can't the spec sheet on it..anyone know where I can find on online?

Thanks!!

No spec sheet with it?? What does it say on the box??

Suprisingly not much...just 500w x2 or 1000w bridged....

i probably spent an hour at work (working nights and extremely bored) and tried to find anything about the company or any other products. probably didn't see anything that you hadn't seen, slim pickings out there for JBC info. i saw a couple subs for sale online from them, but never came across much info about them. musta been a fly-by-night or short lived company that either went out or was bought up by someone else.

thanks Branndon for looking around, much appreciated!

The only thing I heard from guys on caraudio was that it was really expensive when it was for sale...but noone has any idea on spec or quality.

12" sub: http://www.gooddeals18.com/product/EX1280/JBC-PRO-SERIES-360-WATT-12-CAR-AUDIO-SUBWOOFER.html

about the most i found out: http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/271795.html

and the link to the jbc-usa or whatever doesn't go anywhere. neat conversation piece at least huh?

Yeah, it's certainly interesting finding some trail for this amp.

My only worry about using this damn thing is that it will catch fire or destroy brand new subs...

Plus, showing someone a "Just Be Cool" 1000w amp would be pretty damn cool.

But yeah, this amp is long and heavyy

a cheap, cheap copy of someones elses junk, IMHO

 

[sparg93]

not to disagree...but why do you think its junk?
