Thoughts on stereo install

[loc82]

I was just asking because I considered the JL M12IB6 but was skeptical of the IB design.

Seems like it would be a big step down if you are considering 1000w subs.

Well you leaped up!! Double check me but I don't think your sub amp is ideal for the XXX. The JLw6 might line up better since it's dual 4 ohm?

does it seem like I'd be getting my money's worth with this set up at roughly 4k. Or should I go back to the drawing board?

if you're questioning it, then you're probably not IMHO. 4k is good coin to drop on a stereo one would hope after the install you don't feel like you overpaid.

don't use the Hu amp for anything in that setup.

My initial instinct ....

1. Not sure you will realize much benefit with the JL's in boat over the factory Kicker if you are not driving them with full power.
2. I'm always gonna say you should strongly consider the Rev10 on the tower. It's such a dang good speaker.
3. If you listen to rap and want thump, I'd zero in on the larger subwoofers and a ported box. JLw6, XXX, etc.

On the sub, a JLw6 could probably work off the 5-6 channels of a 6 channel amp. The XXX is going to want more power.

luckily that's not the case. I haven't pulled the trigger yet or listened to the set up to be disappointed.

I will keep that in mind. The tech was throwing out different options on how to power the 6 speakers
