Jl Audio's are bad, if you can afford spending a bit extra go for the MM series Polks and ill guarantee you it will give you the biggest smile considering your running their 125rms per channel digital amp. :)

Really? JL audio's use to be up there in terms of quality!

It's like any mainstream brand now they domestic market stuff cheap, then they normally do comp gear better quality etc the cheap for example the cheap alpine stuff like type s is cheap where as their type r and x stuff people descend about its all about what quality you are going for in what brand and $$$ you spend

I'm in the middle of my ute install at the moment, the sound deadening in the FG's is pathetic so I would defiantly put at least a few sheets in the doors and a little bit of insulation directly behind the door speakers to stop reflections.

Here is a link to the treatment I have done so far, massive reduction in road noise and even the factory system sounds ok now.

Trying to keep my install looking stock, just waiting on all the gear to be delivered.

JL Audio 500/3 - 100w per split, 300w for the subs

Alpine PXE-H660 - if this sux it will be swapped as I have heard mixed reviews

Dynaudio 242 GT - very interested to hear these as they make amazing studio monitor speakers

2 x JL Audio 6.5" - subs in rear speaker locations, cavities have been treated to match box volume

Photos to come.

I don't know if I can justify the sound deadening, I thought about it in my BA and I decided not too (because I was being a tight ass lol) and I was happy without it. I have seen a few cars with it and for a couple of db's I think I would rather spend my money elsehwere but that's just personal opinion.

Hey joz have you ever heard the Dynaudio speakers before, I've never heard of them?

See I don't know if I agree spinr cause I've heard alpine type s up against type r and the only difference I find is in the clarity at a higher power level, and that's at the point where you wouldn't listen to it anyway

Dynaudio are a household name when it comes to studio recording monitors, so are Focal for that matter.

When it comes to the studio monitors I prefer the Dynaudio over Focal for their high end reproduction so hopefully that's the same with their car audio products.

All their speakers are hand made and they do the audio for the Bugatti Pucinni which is a good sign.

I tried to get them and hear them in Australia but was told I had to wait a month for them to be made and imported, also the Australia RRP was nearly $1200 for a pair of splits.

I ended up importing from the US as it was a hell of a lot cheaper and they were in stock, I should have them in the next few days. Also if you are looking at importing Dynaudio make sure you deal with an authorised dealer as there are a heap of copies around that are made in China.

As far as I know Dynaudio only use the one trading name, they spec there car gear as ESOTEC but still brand it as Dynaudio.

Cheers,

I like the way you are going 2 6.5" for subwoofers. people often make the mistake that thinking bigger subs will make lower bass...

Yeah interested to see what they do, I just want a clean flat system not something to shake sh*t out of the car also as I don't generally listen to music that loud the 6.5" subs should voice more accurately at lower volumes.

Also I run production at a venue so this is what I get to play on at work.

D&B Q with J Subs - Spec's on that system...

12 x 18" Sub

12 x 10" Mid

6 x 1.3" Horn

Total power 19200w @ 4ohm
