Single brand build?

If you could just pick one brand only and not drop Audison money what would you pick?

Criteria is simple.

400-500 single sub, 10 in a T line maybe

Active front stage 6.5 and tweeter, rear delete.

Processor to run it off the Ford Sync

I'm down to JBL.

I wanna do a full DD setup someday. Not sure how good their speakers are, components or VO series. And not sure how good the X1 is either. Everybody always talks about their subs/amps but nothing else.

The Germans are bad ***. My dealer freind uses the X1 but it's a demo truck. I need a bit more than it can do.

As for the VOs. They are not as loud as most lower end PA but they can play lower and never get raspy.

Hertz with a bit ten? I still have my HSK XLs sitting in the attic. If I was doing Arc of want the SE amps. At that point I might as well go Audison.

That's the main reason I'm leaning to JBL and those MS amps look solid. With a good install I'm sure the front stage will be great. But the sub is a problem. I don't want much but it has to has good SQ.

JBL has some nice upper end stuff...The internal amp of the MS8 is good for tweeters...small mids ...rear fill or center...but the midbass and substage will need a little more...JBL make a 3ch amp that would be good for that....50x2 plus 500@2 mono for the substage...I have one of those amps in my Jeep Comanche

JBL discontinued the MS amplifiers and the GTi subwoofers and components. What's left is not at the performance level you've become accustomed to.
