Hey guys, i've gone thru your forum and love the comments and suggestions. Now I've got a dilema here as i'm trying to set up my opel astra G and i've got the Head unit and the Sub all worked out, now I just need the Fronts and Amps, the dilema is don't know which model to choose from. Here is the list below, I hope someone can help me out here.

Oh and to give you an idea of what i'm looking for, basically an all around system, as I like to listen to all types of music. From Pop, classics, rock, trance, etc... so i'd like the system to be versitile, and I chose DLS as I'm not a fan of high pitched MB Quartz.

HU - Alpine 9855

SUB - 1x JL's 12w6v2

Fronts: Either the DLS UP6 or DLS Iridiums 6.2

AMPs:

1) DLS A7

2) DLS A3 + DLS A6

3) JL 500/5

4) JL 500/1 + 300/2

I'm not sure how the amps are as i've heard that the DLS Ultimate series sound digital? is this true? maybe I should go for the Reference Series? What about the JL Amps? how good are they in signal output?

Need all the help I can get here. Thanks.

i would choose the jl 500/1 + 300/2... Jl amps are great for sq setups

DLS Amps are better than JL IMO

I would do option 2

Guess the eternal question would be which is better ... DLS or JL's?

what about the fronts? what's the basic difference between the UP6 and Iridiums 6.2? heard that the midbass of the UP6 aren't as good. is this true?
