specs of speakers, amp?

 

[antonyku 10+ year member]

pro60 spec: 3 ohms, frequency respones 50 hz-22khz (+-3 db), sensitivity 90db(1watt@1 meter) rms 125w, peak 250w.

xtant spec: Number of Channels 4, Watts per Channel 4 Ohm 4 x 75, Watts per channel 2 Ohm 4 x 150, Bridged Mono at 4 Ohm 2 x 300

Should do OK, but those Bostons are power hungry - 125W really is on the low end for them. I'd feel safer with something that could do a rated 200W per channel.

how about jl 300/4 or 450/4?

im thinking about to get a pair of 6x9 too. whats a good suggestion for those?

A good suggestion is to forget the pair of 6x9's and concentrate on the front stage.

A 450/4 would do nicely. A 300/4 would do, but would not let the speakers reach their full potential.

thanks guys, i will get 450/4 to run it.

i started out with an RF t8004 that made them sound amazing, but then i moved to a pg 200.4 for power issues, which made them sound lovely, just had to make doubly sure it was tuned properly...my pg 200.4 burnt up, so while im looking for something else i'm currently using an xt1600 which makes them sound pretty decent, but not the best...

never tried the JL's on them, im sure they would sound good...its all in constant power and tuning with the bostons...
