I switched subs from a JL 10 W3 v2 yesterday to an Audio Control SPC10S4. They fit in the same enclosure space.I prefer the Audio Control to the JL .Response is much tighter . The best I can describe it is creamy.

I might have to give an Audio Control sub a try.

Guys...I have a simple question. So I currently have a 4 channel output DSP but I was thinking about adding more to the system. I was considering getting the 8 channel version but I don't want to have my current DSP lying around. Does it make sense to get another 4 channel DSP? Or is it too much of a hassle?

I'm trying to sell my current one to get the 8 channel but the second hand car audio market is slow these days and I don't want to get robbed or shot lol.

Just more channels to bi-amp the front stage eventually

8ch out would be neater .
Another 6ch out dsp would mean u have 4 spare channels to play with ... Lol

Thanks Smash, I'll see if I can sell the 4 channel.

I'll be using 6 out of the 8 channels and if I decide to go 3 way I'll be using all 8.

i would say to sell the 4 ch dsp and get an 8 ch replacement (or greater).

^That's the plan now. Think I found a way of getting my old DSP off of my hands.

I might actually do a 12 channel setup if $$ permits after I get the car painted.
Front door woofer x2
Front dash mid x2
Front tweeter x2
Back door woofer x2
Back Wideband mid x2
Sub x2

Plenty to ponder

Tbh
A simple two way front stage with decent equipment and proper install and tuning is most times much better than a 3 way set up with compromised install or tuning

If no one usually sits in your back seat
Decent coaxials will be sufficient

Do it!

I was actually thinking about using the AudioControl 6.5" components and adding their 2.75" mid for a 3 way. Pretty cost effective when compared to other brands.

Also, who makes a 12 channel DSP? Helix? I not so boujee one time lol

Audison, Alpine, I've seen a few of them.For the longest while I have been considering going with amps that have dsp capabilities like the JL,Audio Control and Helix. Also Optical cables are more easily available now.Quite a lot to ponder lol.At my age, I am surprised that I can still hear some very high frequencies. Let me know how the audio control comps sound.
