Best First Step Upgrade

sirfatty · 02-15-2014, 05:59 PM

So I have three options please vote and then list your reason why below

Option 1 : Upgrade OEM HI-Fi Amp with JL Audio XD800/8v2 View Here

Channel 1/2 Tweeters
Channel 3/4 Front Mids
Channel 5/6 Underset woofers
Channel 7/8 rear Fill

Once option 2 is done 5/6 will be bridge and 7/8 bridged to send 150 to the underset woofers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Option 2 : Upgrade Speakers with Gladen's One setup. Underseta woofers for Sure might switch out the front component set for some focals or other brand but for this survey purpose this is a speaker upgrade using the factory Hi-Fi Amp 25 watts per

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Option 3 : Processing Power Adding in an Audison Bit One. With Stock AMP and Stock Speakers.

I am leaving to go in the order I listed. Upgrade amp, Upgrade speakers then upgrade Processing. Adding a Dedicated sub might fit in somewhere but for now these are the three options.

I had considered that as an option but then I read that you cant add in aftermarket amps. Is that true? eventually I will do all three options so I don't want to spend $800 on your speakers if I will have to replace then when I upgrade the amp. If they will work with the above amp then those will be my speakers as the plug and play is a huge plus.
