Awesome thanks! Think I'm gonna order the HT-4 and save the $100 off the syn 2. Already hooked up the sub to my old amp and rms matches perfect bridged sounds good!!

I run 2 Rev10s with a JL M400/4. Sounds great.
I'll Bet!Quote:

Got me thinking about a question for the pro's..........
setup: Rev10's, xs650 in boats, xs12 sub
Which option is better and why?
option 1: JL MHD600/4 running towers and a 2nd JL MHD600/4 running in-boats and sub?
option 2: stay all WS and go SD2 running towers and SD6 running in-boats and sub?
Jl amps worked great in the old ride, but now exile does the the heavy lifting .
For only a little more money, id consider 2 SD-6 and add another pair of in-boats.Quote:

2 SD-6:
585 available to each Rev-10. More headroom then the SD-2 and 2x the wattage from the mdh600/4
585 to 4 ohm xs-12. 2x over the mdh600/4
185 available for each xs-650 with room for another pair.
sorry.......didn't specify 3 pair of in-boat xs-650s
Good to know. 2 SD-6 would be the way to go as 2 600/4's arent enough amp chnls for 6 in-boats, a sub and a pair of 10" HLCDs.Quote:

Sure can! If a 2nd pair of tower speakers is in the future, then the SD-2 is the way to go. If you are thinking about adding that 2nd pair, then compare the cost of 2 SD-6 to an SD-6 and SD-2.Quote:

You can't really compare head to head the strictly regulated JL Audio HD amplifier power specs with other unregulated amplifiers. The JL Audio HD delivers it's full rated power at any voltage you will use on a boat while an unregulated amplifier typically loses 25% of its 14.4V rated power with a 12.6V supply.
But here are a few specifics. The JL Audio HD750/1 is a better choice for one set of tower speakers as compared to an HD600/4. 25% more power at a lower cost. 375 watts per speaker of strictly regulated power will give you all that the Rev10s can handle.
The 300 watts of the robust HD600/4 will certainly compare favorably to a 400 watt amplifier from another brand, not to mention it has twin power supplies, which is rare for a 4-channel. Never the less I fell like 400 watts is just a bit light for an XS12. Another HD750/1 is on the strong side for the XS12.
If an HD600/4 could make four HLCDs scream off the tower then you should have no reservations as to what it can do with six in-boat 6.5" coaxials.
Since the HDs are strictly regulated then put a 1.33 % multiplier on their power when comparing to any non-regulated amplifier. Then compare the power per dollar value.
Both the JL Audio and Wetsounds SD series are top quality Class D amplifiers, domestically engineered, with premium parts. Heads and shoulders above the rest of the pack.
I like the subsonic filter used in the HD750/1, especially if running bass-reflex.
I like the extra power of an SD2 if there are plans to add a second pair.
I like getting it done with two chassis versus three, but on the flipside it is hard to discount four power supplies and all that cast heat sink.
Both schemes have merit. I wouldn't hesitate with either.
Make the columnar comparison list. Green accounting pads and all. Power. Price. Other Pros and Cons of each.
It will come to you.
