Picked up an MD 1200.1 - first song was something on SiriusXM and was disappointed, then played another source, kick ass for the money! I appreciate your opinion of them.

Thanks for your reply. 13 - like a bad habit.

Clear in my head! Are these amplifiers worth the money for a simple cost effective system. Or a waste of money and then thrown good after bad for something else.

Thinking about using 2 x TS400X4, 1 in 4 channel for mids and tweeters, and 1 bridged for midbass. Also thinking about using a bass 1200 - 1 ohm for subs. Not expensive and reviews look decent. I have a Stinger heigh10 head unit, the crossovers are not usable. I have an MS8 that I was...

since having a bit more time available.... Didn’t like the 4 - 10’s, however the 2 - 15’s work well, IMO. One of the dust caps blew of and need to glue back on. Also did some mock up pillars, I’m going to try my hand at fibreglassing.

Not much to report or show. Life and work have been keeping me busy. Painted the partition and installed the subwoofers. Hope to get some work done this week.

I picked up 13 ply Baltic Birch and used PL Premium and #10 screws to secure it to the metal partition. It's very solid compared to what it was. I found out that my old router is, well old and dead, so my jigsaw was the choice to cut the holes in the baffle. I have black Duratex that I'll apply...

Me too!! I'll keep up with pictures as I go.

I'll be using 4 - 10" free air subwoofers with approximately 250 watts each. The drivers will be facing the cargo space, magnet inside the cab. 4 amplifiers mounted on the inside of the cab, not the cargo side as the picture shows (just for reference). I realize that the partition needs to be...

Thanks for the advise. I've been beating on these JLs for 9 years and 4 vehicles and they continue to work. Sorry OP for highjacking, it's all yours!

I should have clarified, non mainstream car audio brands. The idea of choosing inexpensive drivers and having it sound better than more expensive kits... I don't have the option of listening to anything other than mainstream where I live, the car audio scene has disappeared, for the most part.

not to highjack the thread, how would these sound in comparison to jl c5-650's, i've never used raw drivers!!

Got a PDX1000.1, but thanks!

"plug and play", I don't have the time to "tweak" I don't mind buying new amplifiers if required. And then upgrading speakers if amplifiers are added. I was hoping to start with amplifiers for each channel, or an MS-8, followed by speakers....

Taken from from last vehicle, Alpine PDX-1.1000 and PDX-4.150, I realize these do not have hi-level in. I'm not sure if I want to try a JBL MS-8, or add higher powered amplifiers with hi-level in, if the speakers have issues I would then upgrade them and if required add the MS-8 to tune...
