    Your thinking and doing the stealth way and I believe in this philosophy. If it isn’t obvious, it’s less likely to become a target for thieves. Having greater options in amp mounting and amp choices makes this an easy sell for a shop. You get great sound and it is not obvious and you still have full access to your storage areas. That’s a triple winner there Mark. Great ideas and a great system with lots of options. Can’t lose! Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷

    Huge JL fanboy ever since my teens when I swapped out a Rockford 400a4 directly with 300/4 and noticed the difference immediately, but $230 for just the bracket alone to mount a single amp under a seat is absurd. JL should be ashamed.

    Great video, and timely for me. Researching my next Jeep right now. Thanks for the great content, I'm learning a lot from you. I see the JL Audio under seat amp mount recommended a lot, but no discussion on the impact of having the back seat HVAC vent blowing on the amp. Would be great in the summer to help keep it cool, but what about during the winter when running the heater? Should we be concerned with having the heater blow across a class A/B amp? Thanks for your time

  • @McIntosh1006
    @McIntosh1006 Год назад

    1. Are using DRC 205 to control system volume?
    2. Seems if you are powering rollbar speakers from Height 10 you'd use it as master volume?
    3. How would an Illusion C3x in upper dash and C6 at knee height sound compared to speakers you used, given same amplification? Trying to maintain stealth look.
    I was thinking Pac Audio AMPRO AP4-CH41 (R.2) with optional Toslink output to VXi amps.
    4. Think there would be much of a sound quality loss vs. the Heigh 10 or Alpine i509-WRA-JL?
    I'd install both driver and passenger side JL stealth sub enclosures.
    And pull seats and sound deaden complete interior.

I have a 12W6v3 in a porter Box that I was running in my 2017 Cadillac CTS, before I got the truck now it's just sitting in the garage. Do you think your 2 sealed tens would put out more base than a ported 12W6V3, Running the same 600W to either??

      @@MoragTong_ I'll assume that you were joking, albeit what you said was true, insofar as that specific sentence goes... but, on the off chance you weren't joking, a jeep, as you put it, "is not a boat", however, the point of marine grade components in a jeep, is the fact that a jeep is basically a convertible, therefore has the potential to be exposed to the elements, such as rain and muddy mud-puddle-water... Now in say a fancy convertible,(albeit not the easily convertible kind) like that one, and were you the type to go out with the top down in mud puddles and things,(like any self respecting jeep owner) you're likely to get water splashing in from those puddles, albeit in small amounts, or possibly even rain in varying amounts, although, if that's the case, a guy putting together a system for a vehicle, should probably just go with marine grade crimp connectors where needed as well, which, to be honest, can really increase the budget for the build, if you're not one to plan things out and just make every fitting marine grade...

    Hii... I need some advice and thought you can help... the live and ground wires accidentally touched on my amp, would you maybe be able to tell me what I should replace inside my amp to make it turn on again... now it just blows my inline fuse by the battery... thanks in advance.
