I'm a big fan of JL so thats what I would go with, of course Alpine is a great amp too and I think you'd be happy with either, however since you are already running JL speakers, why not keep it the same and go with JL amps?

thats what i want to do but i have to wait another 2 weeks till i can aford it. i just wanted to know if there's much difference in the 2. i've had JL AND ALPINE always been happy with jl but not always alpine. everyones talkin about the pdx's

 

[SteveSkal]

Yeah, depends who you talk to, everyone who loves Alpine with bash JL and JL fans will bash Alpine, but I like to stay objective and at the end of the day there isn't a whole lot of difference between the 2, just personal preference.

what you think about this set up? would this be a bigg improvment?

previous setup.

2 12 type R's sealed

kenwood 1800D

alpine 250 .4

kicker 6 1/2 and 6x9 ks- serries

new set up

2 12w3's sealed

1000/1

300/4

4 jl 6x8's

There is no need to spend that much $$ on a 300/4 to power some coaxials.

 

[mustanggt5330 10+ year member]

would the 300/4 have better sq then the alpine?

 

[Jdm94Coupe 10+ year member]

why dont u invest in componets....... thats my ? to you.......and why waste all that $ with a 1000/1 on w3's in a sealed box and waste a 300/4 on coaxials?

 

[mustanggt5330 10+ year member]

then what you be a good set up 2 you

 

[Jdm94Coupe 10+ year member]

i wasnt trying to be an *** man..... but thats a lot of $ spent on your part and its not going to satisfy you.... at least run components up front and do a ported box for your subs.....

if it does satisfy you...... just give me the $ u spend getting a 1000/1 and i can build you a system to equally satisfy you.......

 

[mustanggt5330 10+ year member]

$1,300 on 2 12's class d amp class ab amp. cant go ported with to 12's not enough space

15H 33W 15D is the bigest i can go.

 

[mustanggt5330 10+ year member]

i dont know a hole lot about this stuff, but i learned you get what you pay for i heard the 12w3's and the 1000/1 and it was so clean and hard hiting. it wasted my to type r's in 4 cubes tuned to 35 on 900 rms.
