JL buyer

Hey Mike!

I was curious if you could help me with my setup. I decided to do JL throughout my car and this is what I need...

Subwoofer: 12W6v2

Front stage: XR-650-CSi

Rear deck: VR-690-CXi

Component amp: JL 300/4

Sub amp: JL 500/1

Questions...

1. What sound processing, if any would you chose. I prefer using the factory deck for a clean look. I know I am sacrificing some sound quality because of this but I am willing to accept it. Do you think it will be a drastic difference switching the factory deck to an Alpine deck?

2. Do you the think the sub amp will be overkill? Should I go with a 250x1 instead?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Oh yeah, this is all going in a 2002 BMW 330Ci.

I'm sure Mike'll be here in a sec to answer some of this...but I'll go ahead and do this too...

1) I wouldn't bother if you're keeping the factory deck...to be honest with you. You'll have flexibility and scalability upgrading the deck, and using a processor will help for that...but there's not much you can do with the stock HU...

2) Definitely not overkill. The sub is 400W rms...it can easily handle 500W.

correct me if im wrong im thinking about buying the 650cx and 650cs for my car and i believe that you need an amp that is about 100-150 watts per channel where the 300/4 is only 75x4. wouldnt it be better if u got (2) 300/2?
