C6 Speaker and Amp suggestions needed
I plan on installing a complete system and need some suggestions.
So far I have the DNX 9140 picked as the headunit.
I have a MadVette stealthbox coming for the JL 10W3v3.
First, what are the pro's and con's of having or not having rear speakers?
Secondly, what components would you suggest? I want it to be loud and clear. As far as budget, I was thinking in the $500 range. I'll spend more if need be. The amp I am looking at puts out 150 watts rms.
As far as the amp goes I was planning on running one of the JL HD's. Either the 600/4 or the 900/5 depending on if I run rear speakers.
Would the 300 watts rms be enough for the sub or would it benefit from the 500 the 900/5 puts out?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

My only chaalenges are with regards to the door chime unit. It is a GMOS 04 and I no longer hear the confirmation tone when setting a seat memory. I also occasionally get a continuous door chime when exiting after listening to stuff while in accessory mode.

I am running the 900/5HD with JL C6 6.25's with xovers and tweets. My sub is a JL Stealthbox. The sound is insane!

actually running the 5 channels. Kept the rear OEMs as filler and the Stealth can easily handle the 500 watts. I can actually feel it now and it doesn't appear to be suffering. Bearing in mind that the 500 watts also gives way cleaner power.
16 Vettes and counting…..

I used the Alpine PDX-5 amp. 75 X 4 and another 300 for the sub. I used two Subthump rear boxes with RF 10" subs, Alpine components in the front, and some Eclipse tri-axials in the rear.
It sounds great....soooo much better than the horrid Bose......but what's really amazing is that is sounds great with the stock NAV head unit. I can only imagine how much better it would sound with the Kenwood 9140.
