Default More advice wanted on system...

Posted a couple questions in the past, thanks for all the help so far. Heres what I've decided.

Sub = JL 10" not sure which model yet, I can get a W3v2, W0, or W6 all for about the same price.

My current delima is what amp to get. I would really like to run doors and sub off of one amp. I was considering the JL 300/4 which puts 75 to doors and 150 to the sub. I'm curious if 150 to the sub will be enough. I don't want to be heard a mile down the road, and listen mostly to rock, but I still wanna feel that bass in my back/chest.

I listened to Bacchus's JL 10W3v2 with 300 watts to it and it was plenty loud, but we had the top up and were not moving. Not sure how it would be doing 60 mph...

I guess I'd like to hear from anyone who may have 150 or so watts running a 10" sub and see what they think. Otherwise, I may have to do 2 amps, which will suck money wise

Thanks!

I used to run the 300/4 to my BA Pro 6.5's and one JL 10". It's better than stock, but now I have 150w(300/2) to each front and 250w(500/1) to each 10"(10W3v2). Much better.

Bacchus is also selling a Spare Tire Amp Rack with PAS2KNUT that you may want to look at for your setup.

300.4 is a little weak. Do it right the first time and get a 125x4 amp. Jim got the Soundstream Van Gogh, and says it performs well. I recommend that.

I started with almost the exact setup (only exception is that I have a JL 4300).

When I fired it up and took it on the road I was SORELY disappointed (although I like rather elevated listening levels!). This setup lasted only as long as it took to get an additional JL 500/1 to dedicate to the sub.

Now I'm a much happier camper.
