Thoughts on stereo install

[loc82]

After spending some time reading up on different setups and listening to displays of different brands, I've narrowed it down to the following set up for what will work best for me. I would appreciate any input you all might have or anything I should be concerned about.

1 pair JL M880 LED towers (125W 4ohm) Recommended on JL site 125w-200w continuous power.

6- JL MX650 LED 6.5 coaxial (60w 4 Ohm) Recommended on JL site 75w-100w continuous power.

1- 12 in Wetsounds XXXv2 in a custom box 1000w RMS @2ohms

AMPS:
JL Audio M1000/1V2 1000wx1 @2 ohms For the subwoofer

JL Audio M800/8v2 200w x 2 bridged for the M880 towers and 100w x 4 for the tower speakers and 4 of the MX650's

the remaining two bow MX650's will run off the head unit.

why the WS sub with all of the other being JL?

Why a Wetsounds sub when all the other equip is JL?

On the JL M800 ... the towers will use 4 channels? Leaving 4 channels open for in boat? What about each bow speaker on a channel for 75w each and then the cockpit speakers wired to a 2 ohm load for 50w to each speaker, eliminating the head unit power?

I listened to this sub in a display and for my preference in music it sounded the best. I compared it to two 12 in JL W6 and a 10 in JLW7. I listen to mostly rap and trap music so I want a sub that slams

Wouldn't that leave the cockpit speakers underpowered? I'm new to understanding all of this so bear with me

jl 12w6 all day. one of the best all around subs out there. in a proper box, you will not be disappointed..

They could take more power but I don't think they would be hurt by only getting 50w.

I think a 3 amp setup is more ideal to power all the speakers to their full potential but it seems you can get away with those 2 at a quick glance.

Someone with more knowledge of newer head units will have to chime in. They used to be way over rated for the actual power they put out. My thinking was that 50w from the JL amp is better than whatever wattage comes from the head unit.

With the cockpit speakers together, you typically see those running the 2 ohm load, so the bow can take as much power as possible, since it's all alone.

JL w6 was my first thought on the sub. But if you compared ... that's your call. I'd assure yourself that the comparison was fair .... both boxed correctly, both receiving proper power, etc. If you want thump, I'd def look at ported boxes.

Looking up specs on the sub setup ....

The XXX is a dual 2 ohm sub. The JL is rated at 1000w x 1 at 2ohm and 600w at 4ohms. I'm not sure that jives? I THINK you are going to need 2 channels at 2 ohms or one large 4 ohm channel.

I'm running an SD2 to the XXX. Bridged 1250 watts at 4 ohm.

would you recommend staying away from an infinite baffle set up then? I suppose I could take another listen to the JL W6. the one 12 WS xxx sounded amazing compared to two 12 JLW6's.

None of the subs mentioned are infinite baffle. If you want thump, I'd def stay away from IB.
