Subwoofer Upgrade to Bose Touring Stereo

bigaudiofanat · 01-04-2010, 01:33 PM

The biggest difference from the re-q5 and the JL clean sweep is that the JL can do the cleaning of the signal a lot better than the re-q5 THAT us why a lot of people including myself recommend the re-q for the bass signal and the jl for the mids and highs or fronts. You can use the re-q5 but that is up to you. It might be cheaper but the prepossessing is not as good. This is probably one of the very few times that I recommend JL over something else.

Ok, this thread has given me enough confidence to pull the trigger on this. I have the Bose NAV and really just want good front components and a decent sub (though I can't decide on 10" x 2 vs. 12" x 1).

So far looks like:

MTX-ReQ for Sub
JL CleanSweep for Front Speakers
JL Amp for front
JL Amp for sub
JL Comp. Speakers x 2 for front
JL Comp. sub x (1 -12 or 2 - 10)
Zenclosure Box for subs
assorted speaker, power wire & sound mat

And back speakers will be disconnected.

Sound right? Anybody got advice on speaker/sub choice for a small 2-person car? I have only done this to trucks before.

Depends on how many watts you want to put to the sub. I have one JL 12w6v2 which has a sweetspot around 500 watts. It has great sound quality and a sweet punch.
