Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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