[QUOTE="JeeperVol, post: 8676697, member: 677088"] I talked with my friend who is a pretty big audiophile(loves Audison and JL) and I respect his opinion alot. He cut to fit my current 5.25" components and installed my 4 channel amp and the jl fix86. His thoughts were: You're going to risk not sounding much better than the matched JL set you have. Have you compared the woofer specs for your current sub to the Dayton? The Dayton is a clean sub, but isn't very powerful. It has a "short-throw" woofer, meaning the "excursion" or distance it travels is pretty short. I really think you'll be disappointed, and I think you're beyond the point that saving a couple hundred dollars to cut corners wouldn't be worth it here. The W6V3 paired with the 600W JL HD1 amp, would blow that Dayton and any amp you pair it with away. Not even in the same ballpark. [/QUOTE]
