Need Some Opinions.

[nasen]

This is the setup I'm thinking about going with. Changing my whole setup to something better/cleaner/more musical/etc.

Pioneer P880

Boston AcousticsPro60

Elemental Designs NINE.4 (Bi-amping the comps. No rear fill this time)

1 12" JL Audio W6v2 (1.5cf sealed)

Elemental Designs NINE.1 (900rms @ 2ohms)

1/0ga & 4ga wires.

deadener.

I'm not too sure if that'll be what I'm looking for. (I assume it will from the research I've done and questions I've asked). The specs on the NINE.4 is 65x4 @ 4Ohm & 100x4 @ 2Ohm, so I assume I would get 70-80rms (140rms-160rms per side) @ 3ohms. (The BA Pros are 3ohm speakers, btw) Would that be plenty? I don't want the comps too sloppy/tweets too harsh, so any suggestions would be appreciated. I'd be over powering the sub by doubled the power, which I've reard the w6's can take 900rms and that's when they really sound good.

Do you think that setup would sound nice and clean? I want it to be loud but at the same time have great SQ with a little SPL. Or does anyone know anything better than that for my taste?

Any opinions will help.

You will probably want more power to the Boston Pros and their ohm reading is 3.6 roughly. You want closer to 100rms, I'm doing about 120.

Are you set on the JL? If not try DD, RE, TC, many more suggestions on here.

My 12" RE SeXXX will be FS probably this weekend. Handles 800+rms.

How do you like the Bostons? Clean and loud?

Bostons are excellent, deffinitly clean and loud. Could get louder

Just because they are a good deal, I'd consider the US Amps that are on eBay right now. The MD-42 (250x2@4ohms) would be great for any comp set and the MD-23 (1000x1@4ohms) would be great for any 4 ohm sub.

...and if you buy them, I won't be tempted anymore.
