Help Diamond vs JL vs alpine

[Jgonzalez]

I went to multiple dealers the other day in my area and im trying to decide what setup to get. I would like to know the pros and cons of each ones

Im getting the alpine 9857 headunit for sure w/ ipod adapter of course!

Subs im not quite sure if i should get 2 12s with JL audio or 2 12 Diamond D3 subs

- One dealer said that theres no distortion on the diamond and thats why he reccomends it.

amps= alpine mrp-f450 4 chan for speakers and mrp-m650 mono for subs vs diamond d3 600watt 4 chan for speakers& d3 600watt 2 chan for subs

speakers alpine type rs or diamond d3s (6.5s)

Thank you for any help im just pretty confused right now on what to get lol I listen to all types of music mainly Rap and Rock though and alot of tool lately. Street Scene was awesome

Im really looking for something that can bump and will sound clear and good at the same time.... but isnt that the idle stereo anyways?

JL W7's?

All of that stuff is decent equipment, I doubt you'd go wrong with any of the choices there. Personally I'd chose the subs first and then pick the amp that mates best with them.

I honostly forgot what JL subs they were talking about =\ I think JL Audio 12W3v3-4 or JL Audio 12W1v2-4 or Diamond Audio D3

Its basically diamond with the diamonds and the JL audio and alpine.... just dont know which setup and they are roughly the same doller amount too

whta JL woofer are they? also, if you choose the d3's, you are going to want way more than 600 watts. more like 1000-1200. i have single d3 in one of the setups i run.

SQ is subjective //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

actually they sound really similar, just the w7 has more output.

thats for a reason. it is bound to be more expensive, a little overpriced, but when you have the most popular high end mainstream woofer out there, you can charge what you want.

Its only really those options that i listed there... due to price and what not

I would go with the Diamond Subs. I love the D3 10 I have. SQ is excellent and it gets pretty darn loud on 450w.
