1987 Buick Grand National JL Audio Setup?

[worthamterrence 10+ year member]

hi i just wanted to ask you guys your opinion on the setup im thinking about putting in my car.As far as the headunit goes i just ordered the new Pioneer Premeir Bluetooth Headunit(deh-980bt),I already have a JL 1000/1 and JL 450/4 amp.Im just curious on the subs i should run on the 1000.I want to go with the power wedge JL Box with the two 12"inch W6v2's in it or should i just buy a JL 500/1 and get the Pro Wedge box with two 12"inch W3v2's.Im gonna run Infinity Kappa Perfect 5.25 speakers,Infinity Kappa 3.5 inch speakers in the dash,and 6x9 Infinity Kappa's on the deck with the JL Audio 450/4.What do you guys think of this setup and would the 1000 with the 2 W6's be too much.Which setup would you go with?I want it to hit pretty sweet.Your opinion is appreciated!

the W6's for sure and they can easily handle the 1000/1

that's why you should get 1 w6 on the 500.1

I'd do the 2 12W6V2 off the 1000/1 but I'd get something better than Infinity speakers....

for the price what is better than the infinity's

I figured since you going to run all the JL, you could afford something nice than Infinity. Check our Diamond, Crystal, Rainbow, Focal or MB Quart...

what do the diamonds or mb quarts sound like?which models do i need to go with?whats wrong with infinitys?

whats wrong with infinitys?

Their midbass response is less than stellar and their tweets are often way too bright without heavy EQing...

I appreciate you telling me that.I was just going with what everyone talks about.

I like the way my MB Quart reference series components sound and they can be had for around $130 online. Check out the crystal ssc6s (or whatever the nonmenclature is), Rainbow SLC's, MB Quart Premiums or Q's or Diamond's higher lines....you wont be disappointed with any of them but I'd personally spend the extra $$ and get the Rainbows...
