Totally Re-doing the system
Totally Re-doing the system
Yo im looking to totally start over with my sound system
As of now i bought two 10" JL W0's
im looking for front and back 6x8s (preferably 3 ways and 2 ways)
An amplifier putting out 700+ watts, and has 2+ ohms
and last a headunit, looking for a good looking and great sounding

okay ive made some decisions with the help of Sean
headunit: Alpine CDA-9851
Speakers: Mb Quart Reference 6.5" Components (front) and im still looking for a decent set of speakers for the back that, not great ones b/c drowned out by subs
Subs: JL Audio, two 10" W0's
all i need now is help with the amplifiers, quite possible the most confusing concept to me since tying my shoes. for the speakers i think im going to go with a 400w x 4-channel class ab, and as for the subs i have no idea (all i know is i need a class d)
i saw some JL 500w x 5-channel amplifiers for around $600, but im looking to see if i have anymore options for the amp area.. anything and everything would be great

For the sub, just find an amp that puts out about 250 to 300 watts @ 2 ohms. Should be easy to find.
Something like this may be the ticket:

Well what I would do is take your buget for the front and back speakers and combine it and pick up somne componets. I don't run the back speakers at all the stock ones just a little to fill out the sound. JL amps are quite pricy.
i am getting the MBq components already..
ive decided to change my mind on the amps and go with Phoenix Gold Octane's
800w max 4-channel, with 125w x 4 to each speaker
400w max 4-channel, with 125w x 2 to each sub

Hey this is just my opinion but,
When I got my system, a nice headunit and some big subs, I really wished instead of getting subs that i just made a really nice 4 speaker system. I didn't have the "volume" of music i just had the hard hitting bass. Hard bass is pimp, but I couldn't pop my doors open and hear my truck froma huge distance. About 400 yards away was the max you could hear subs, and 200 yards was distance of music. I wish i got some components and some door speakers that had good base.
