What is ur actuual budget

 

[six6nine9wpk]

1000........ dollars. I have a 6 channel JL Audio G6600 but its under powered at 75 x 6 @ 4ohms. I don't want to under power my subs or yearn for more later on.

I'd ditch the rear speakers, apply that money toward a front set that has some real mid bass. Something like a PHD FB pro set or...

and if you really want some speakers for the rear, go cheap (& good) like a set of Silverflutes mids only.

1000 in the used market would get you a real nice system i would look in the classifieds

Having the SS ref amp for the front.....why not use the ref 500 for the sub?

Much better amp vs the HFi 1500....

and x2 on ditching the rear speaker idea....just use the factory speakers and fade them down for "fill". Use the ref 4ch to run your front components active

and you will have a very nice "entry level, budget" start!

130 bucks shipped new, 500watt Alpine for the sub

But, I would put more juice on that Sundown. 500 will get it moving alright, but it will take twice that easily.
