Need Recommendations for Components and Amp

dp11 · 07-20-2009, 12:03 AM

Ok so I pulled the trigger and got everything. I found a local audio shop (Audio Tune in Lakewood, Ca) that offered great prices. I decided not to go the online route and have to wait for shipping when this shop was offering the same (or better) prices. I got the jl audio hd600/4 amp for $550, focal 165 for $350, and kenwood 6140 for $880 (includes accessories for ipod, gps, and antenna). The shop didn’t carry any pioneer stuff so I decided to go with the kendwood. They are also going to install everything for a final price of $2,050. He didn’t have the metra dash kit so I ordered that and the custom box online. I will have everything installed Saturday morning.
Thanks again to everyone who offered their opinion on this thread. I have a few more questions that I’m hoping someone can help me out with.

What are my installation options with this setup? Is it possible to power the rear speakers from the headunit and power the front components + sub with the amp? This link (http://mobile.jlaudio.com/pdfs/HD600...ide.pdf#page=5) from the the JL Audio website says it possible but I have the BOSE system. And there always seem to be something weird going on with the BOSE setup.
