would that jbl gt601.1 work or should i look at other ones too?

i've been doing some research on www.automotiveforums.com also and people have been talking about matching up a brahma with a hifonics brutus 1500. is this a good match?

i'm also concerned about my electrical system. will this draw too much power, do i need to consider a red or yellow top, or a new alternator? i don't want my lights to dim or anything like that. i'll also be using a 4 channel amp, probably something like an alpine that's pushing 50x4 for my components and 6x9's.

I'll check it out.

I actually got a job at Adire in March of this year. So I work for them.

Might want to look into the ImageDynamics IDMAX, it's also now available in a 10. It performs along the same lines as the W7, Brahmah, etc. Also, the W6v2 is basically a more budgeted version of the W7 line. It's very similar, in fact, almost identical, to the W7 in every aspect. It shares a lot of the same characteristics of the W7, including design.

well so basically my system is going to come down to what i want to do first. i would like to have it all done at once, but i'm a little bit of a budget. i just got to figure my priorities.

in your opinions what should i do first, inside speakers (mb quart more than likely), or should i go with a sub and wait on the speaks?

Depends on how decent your stock sh*t is and what is more important to you. Personally, I'd rather fill out the sound with bass if my stock stuff was livable. If you can't handle the stock sound for mids and highs work on your front stage first.

i'm pretty sure i'll go with a brahma either 10 or twelve. but i'm wondering on what amp. i'm thinking either this JBL http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=GTO601.1&ser=GTS&cat=AMP or this Hifonics http:///.com/dll?ViewItem&category=18797&item=5719148524&rd=1

which one do you all think would be a better match for the sub? are there others that i should consider??

i'd definitely get the incar sound fixed or upgraded first. what is a sub worth for a daily driver when the audio inside the car wont be reproduced loud enough to stay with the sub. you may not get your bass right off the bat, but as you said your on a tight budget, and like myself im on a tight budget as well, and i really bought too many things all at once, and i've got bills to pay out the yahoo ;o

i'd say fix the car speakers, get them amp'd and then get your sub & amp

i'm probably going to do the inside first. i'll probably go with mb quart reference series. my only question is the rms wattage for them is around 60. the map i'm looking at says it's 40 watts rms per channel ( http://www.techronics.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=175), i've read that you really only need 50 watts to push speakers pretty cleanly. would this amp work for these speakers or is it underpowering them?
