I pieced together my first real system (over time) about 8 years ago during college. I decided to go with three 12W6s. That was before JL (and Orion) was all mainstream, I just really liked the way they sounded during the demo. I do agree they are on the expensive side, but if I come across a...

I was wondering if all three pre-outs were 4V or just the sub pre-out? The ad makes it appear that only the sub preout is 4V, but for some reason I thought all three were 4V on the 7998. Anyone know? Thanks

Just looking for the best places to shop for a W7 sub. Thanks in advance

I'd be willing to give up ~1.8cu ft or so. I don't mind having a bit extra extension on the low end. So should I build it to JL's 1.375cu ft recommendation, or has anyone found that it sounds better in a different sized sealed enclosure??

I'm considering upgrading to a single 12W7. It will be in a Mustang hatch-back powered by an older Orion XTR 2150 which is ~750W rms at 3 ohms. Can anyone recommend from experience a sealed box size?? Or should I stick with JL's recommendation? Thanks

I have my remote wire going through a relay. The amp will turn on but it won't turn off when I turn the HU off. Any ideas?? Thanks

Both amps have remote turn ons, but only my older amp is turning on even though both are getting the signal from the relay (30 spade). Also the one amp that is turning on won't turn off when I turn the deck off...I had to pull its fuse on the distrobution block to turn it off. Neither of my...

I finally finished my install yesterday consisting of two Orion XTR amps (an older XTR 2150 I've had forever and last years 800.4 which I just took out of the box new) and 2 squirell cage fans. I used a 30A relay to try to turn on the amps and fans. BUT only my older amp comes on and it makes...

Just thought I'd give my experience for other people to reference. My '91 Mustang GT is pretty loud between the long tube headers, 2.5" dual exhaust, lopey cam, and the whistling of the 1000cfm supercharger. I planned on doing the doors, floor, and hatch so Dynamat or equivalent would of been...

I have an old school Orion XTR 2150 amplifier (600x1 at 4ohm mono) that'll be pushing a single JL 12W6. In this configuration the amp will see a 3ohm mono load...is that the equivalent of 1.5ohm stereo?? Also will the amp be able to live with the 3ohm mono load (I heard the older Orions are...

NRGY, The idea as using chunks of wood to set the angle sounds good since I don't have a belt sander (I only have a jigsaw). I just need some clarification if you don't mind. I will be mounting the MDF plate with the pre-cut speaker hole to my door. Would it be better to use the blocks...

I don't have much room for kicks. I'll be mounting my 6.5" comps on a 1/2" MDF plate on the doors. Can I simply try to sand the back of the MDF mounting plate at a continous angle to help aim my mids?? (Basically one side of the mounting plate will be narrower than the other side to create an...

I cut the fake floor board for my hatch already (1/2" MDF). So I should I cut the holes first for my plexi windows then carpet, or is it better to carpet the solid panel then make the cuts?? Thanks

Thank you, that clears things up. After searching for a while I decided I'll just buy a 10A relay from Radio Shack to turn on my 2 fans and my 2 amplifiers from the remote lead. I think a 30A relay would be overkill since each fan only draws 650ma. Thanks again guys

Thanks. It's just that the Radio Shack relay looked to have 4 contacts and I think the Bosch one had 5 if I remember right. Just wanted to make sure the RS one would work to switch on my two fans safely
