The XLS Series is placed by Crown Audio as an affordable alternative to their best selling (but expensive) iTech series quality power amplifiers. The XLS 602 is the top most model in this series. XLS 402 and XLS 202 come next. The 850 W (2-Ohm Stereo) per channel amplifier will be sufficient to power almost anything that is used by professionals. If you are looking for cost effective but quality solution for your amplification needs, this is the best product to go for. You can start by installing one amplifier and later can add more due to stackable nature of this series. XLS 602 comes with standard protection like: output current limiting, DC protection, thermal protection for transformers, circuit breaker etc. The forced-air-cool fans provide excellent protection from excessive thermal buildup. It keeps the box cool even after playing it for more than 12 hours non-stop on full load (My personal experience). I used this product for more than 2 years, and never had any problem with it. Also, these amplifiers come with Three years international warranty (Comprehensive and Transferable). The sound quality and performance is superb and sometimes makes you think that is it really worth to spend couple of more thousand $s on more expensive brand/model when you are getting everything from this price. The build quality is typically Crown..rock-solid! No wonder why most mobile Djs opt for Crown amplifiers. At US$ 620, this is worth every single dollar spent.

Always being a fan of Crown amps I purchased this amp as an emergency back up amp to my Crest Audio V-900. My Crest was destroyed and I needed something fast. Little did I know that when I actually plugged in this amp I would again be completely re-assured why Crown is a known name in the business. Sizzling high, crunchy lows, more headroom then the 600 rated watts (4ohm stereo) should have, and built like a mack truck. After gig'n at peak lvl's for 6 hours I touched the top of the amp to find that it was cold to the touch. Haven't doubted it since. I plan to buy another 602 to bridge and bi-amp, but to tell you the truth I haven't found a reason to even purchase the 2nd yet only because this one seems to handle the job everytime. Hooked up to a piar of JBL-TR225's this amp will smack most people in the face with sound and trick most into thinking you got something else in your setup. I normally don't post reviews on anything but this amp made me change my ways. The first amp I ever owned was a Crown, and will be my last.
