i used to run those jl comps in a ranger and they are sweet!!! i liked them better than the quarts i replaced.........

the compustar is good. dogs are overrated and easily circumvented.

everything sounds fine, i would definently do a separate amp, i would do a 13.5 w6v2 depending on how much more it is , and that alpine is NICE, my friend for the 9853 very nice.

I have a compustar alarm on my car, and a rottweiler

I'd go with two amplifiers myself, not the 500/5 with the setup you're eyeing.
nice layout. Aside from an alarm, and power distribution, that looks all set. http://www.knukonceptz.com has good interconnects and wiring for at a good price. all house branded stuff. most folks go with that if they don't slplurge on something like higher end Esoteric Audio cables or something similar.

Hello,

I've been out of the car audio for a while now, I was playing with this in the good rockford fosgate years... I'm looking to build a good sq system for my car. I was thinking to go with PPI and boston acoustic, but look like from what I founded on internet that this should not be the way to go, either panasonic head, so i'm back to basic. Here is the deal:

Alpine CDA-9855 (I would prefer eclipse but need XM radio build in)

JL Audio 500/5

JL 12w6v2 (in a 1.25" sealed box)

JL 6.5 xr serie componant front

I think that the 250w supplied to the sub by the 500/5 might be on the lower limit. The other solution will be the have a separate 500/1 for the sub and a 300/4 for the component.... That why i was thinking PPI dcx800.5

Any idea? i'm I on the good way?
