does anyone have a jl setup in their car? if so how do you like it? i dont know whether to get 2 10w6v2 or 1 12w7 and wats a good amp to go with it?

 

I LOVE alpine digital amps, I dont like everything alpine makes, I have blown out three sets of their speakers, but IMHO Alpine digital amps are the best on the market.

Also, JL subs are bad ***, however they need alot of box volume, and alot of wattage, look at Kicker subs, they wont let you down.

 

i would say get the 2 10w6v2s.. not really a fan of just 1 sub.. if you get the 12w7.. try to get 2 of them.. 2 subs sounds a whole lot better than just 1 even if you are coming w7s.. if you run 10w6v2 subs.. i would say get 2 500/1 JL amps also.. if you get v1s.. you would only need 1 500/1 amp.. v2s require more power.. if you get the w7.. im pretty sure a 500/1 would be strong enough.. are you try to do a all JL setup?

i am kinda on the same boat as you..
at the moment im running 3 12w6v1.. using only 1 500/1 JL amp to power them.. but that was in my crx.. not really too sure if the same box/setup would fit in my sti.. i might have to downgrade to 2 12w6s instead..

 

i ran JL subs with a JL 500/1 mono amp and 300/4 V2 for the speaker all around. I loved it.....really nice setup. I would match the amp to the subs. with 2 10w6's with 500watts you might still be underpowering them. you should go with the 1000/1 if you really want to hit potential....

I have a JL HO box with 2 jl 10w3v2 in them if you're interested. I love that box but i dont use it anymore. the box was factory designed by jl for those subs so they sound great.

 

thanks for the advice. you guys are running really good sound with 2 and 3 subs. and yea i just decided i wanted to do an all JL setup. i went with one 10w6v2 stealthbox and a JL HD 750/1 amp. wanted two subs but tooo much money for me right now. and later on im gonna get the components. i ordered it online now just waiting. do you guys install yourself or go to a shop?

 

normally i would do it myself.. but ever since i got my sti.. im gonna go to shops for it. a little bit harder to work with imo

 

Either way you should plan on some hefty power upgrades and perhaps some suspension upgrades as well. You can quickly add a couple hundred pounds if your not careful.

 

500/1 powering 2 10w3v2 in a bestbuy ported box. Sounds reallly reallly loud.
