[QUOTE="mliebs, post: 8583870, member: 673386"] I have a 2017 Mustang GT and wanted to upgrade the system so I dropped it off at the shop today. The place I brought it too has been there forever and gets excellent reviews so I'm pretty confident it'll turn out pretty good. I know everyone has their favorite equipment but at my age I didn't feel like searching around trying to build the ultimate system, I just wanted something that works. In the 90's and early 2000's I had a quite a few systems and always ran Zapco, PPI, or tube drivers so this is new uncharted territory for me. Below is what I'm going with. Factory head unit JL Audio Fix 86 and TWK 88 JL Audio HD 600/4 for the front JL Audio XD 600/1 for the sub Hertz Mille 163.3 pros JL Audio 12 W6 (sealed) 0 gauge power wire the back for distribution Dynamat on both doors Here's where my questions come in. I originally purchased the 600/4 to have it bridged so the components would get 300 watts each. I know it's double the rating but I figured it's better to have too much power and not use it that need more but don't have it. The installer said he planned on running the system active instead of passive but with the four channel amp that would leave the mid range and tweeter still using the passive crossover. At this point will I benefit from the active setup or just go with bridging the amp like originally planned. I'm also wondering how well the XD600/1 will work with the 12 W6. I normally ran 3 -10's in my vehicles (always drove sports cars) but I wanted to save on trunk space so I went with the single 12 and smaller JL amps. Any feedback would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
