JBL?

We use a lot of JBL Pro series gear for our church sound system. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with their car audio equipment? Here is what I am looking at as far as subs and amps:

Sub Amp
Sub
Full Range Amp

Let me know what you think. I am getting 2 sets of Kenwood eXcelon components and just using the woofer in the rear deck. Think this will work?

JBL's subs aren't that good. the full range amp are average.. and the sub amps are great for the price.

That's the amp I have coming. I'm hoping to have it installed by the end of the week. It'll be powering Infinity Kappas.

Do you really think the AMPs are that good? I always thought them to be in the Profile/Jensen bandcamp.
On that topic, what do you think is the best amp (cost vs. reliabilty/performance) in the cheaper bracket (Sony, Kenwood, etc...)

Best cost-performance amps.. Alpine, Eclipse, and MTX....

JBL's Class D amps are quite good...

Uncle B Why an Alipne V12 amp for subs..it's a class A/B Amp.. why not make life easier on your electrical system and get a less expensive class D amp [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I probably won't know what I am getting for sure until the day I buy it. I will probably end up going with JBL because no one else does and I like to be different. I know, that's not a very good reason to buy something, but it works for me.

I have jbl subs. I got the GT series though. They hit nice but really do not get the high bass I like. They are 10's which might play a part but overall they are not bad. They are holding me off until next month. I am getting 3 JL 12" W3's in a custom trunk. I am going to use my Fosgate 800.2 amp to push those, which is pushing my JBL's right now. I would suggest you get if your just looking for a cheap whatever system. If your really planing on sounding beyond great, or showing the car, save the cash and go with high quality products. Like I said I got these to hold me off until my trunk. Have done a great job.
