I do! I bought it for $215 shipped from Sounddomain.com. http://www.cardomain.com/item/JBLBP12001Z
I am going to be ordering some RCA Y adapters since it is common to get a power and SQ increase when you use all 4 inputs of the amp. It should power my PG TI 15s rather well with good SQ I am hoping anyway. Peace out!

Even though it is a refurb I am hoping that it will be in VERY good cosmetic condition.

Is that common for all amps, or just JBLs? I never thought about that, but I have four inputs on my Xtant amp, and may want to make use of them if it'll help out.

only time I have heard of using all 4 RCAs is on the jbl bp series. I've never actually tried since mine is already split with the Y adapters in order to use two amps. Pretty good price, a lot cheaper than you'll find in any audio store. I bought mine off ebay for about $200 shipped a couple years ago, I got really lucky.

a guy on the explorer forum I post at got one of those refurb jbls, the metal logo on the top had a big dent on the corner, and a couple scratches, so you may have some wear and tear on the amp when you get it.

My 600.1 doesn't need all 4 to get its loudest. Theres no difference between hooking up 2 or 4. Maybe is depends on the revision or somthing.

It's a great amp. Buddy of mine owns one and it pushed his Hc 18 for a while. He is rebuilding the Hc box and it will again power the 18. Great durable amp and he got it for around 225 shipped.

Only thing is no SSF, but it isnt that big of a deal.

If I ever need to I will just get some F-mods to run on my RCAs to act as a SSF. My order for the amp is now on!

I've had the JBL 1200 for a couple years now, and today I tried the 4 RCA's and it was like twice the power. It has always been very good power, I thought it was actually doing 1200 watts but after I did the Y-adaptor thing, It is amazing. I tried the F-mods today too, and they reduce the output drastically. I guess you have to sacrifice output for safety, which is cool on the pocket. I guess the JBL 1200 is drawing too much power now for my old red top in my girls car because after using all 4 RCA outputs, after a few minutes you can hear the difference and you can tell the amp is struggling to get power, so I guess I have to put my reserve red top in her car.

I got one and it was in 9.7/10 cosmetically. I finally started using it a few weeks ago and it is very powerful! I now need to start on a box for the 15s.
