its actually pretty decent....i would use a better amp on the subs tho
a pdx isnt gonna cut it....specially when the w7s are being fed 500W each
otherwise the rest is a pretty good selection of gear

no doubt sounds sweet, you feel the alpine would bring it better than the jl audio sub 1000/1?

Awesome, I say u're on the right track

 
Rep Power: 738

ribeiro is right on that

however if the dude is comfortable on tossing that kind of money on this setup
then i guess it should be fine as well

do you think the jl 1000/1 would make it sound better? why ? i was advised to get the pdx alpine. apparantly "one of the hottest amps on the market" i i just went with it.

I used to sell both Alpine and JL at my last job, both are great in comparison...the PDX amps are brilliant for what they are and what they do, the only single problem wth the PDX is the Heat it delievers and and the power delivery. At a higher voltage (usually over 14.4 v) the wattage stays the same, a consistant 1000 watts (or close to it) Alpine quotes to have regulated power supply on their PDX amps, and compare it to the Slash series from JL, which also has a true regulated power supply (R.I.P.S, Regulated independant power supply) the biggest difference is the Slash series can produce a monstrous amount of power, well over 1100 watts at just over 12 volts at either 2 ohm or 4 ohm, the alpine says it does the same, but really, the PDX needs power and the proper inpedance to really drive it efficently. I sold the slash series amps 3 to 1 vrs the PDX, even though the slash was (at the time) over 800 dollars more and the PDX 1000.

Don't get me wrong, I love the PDX amps, they are fantastic units, but if you want a system that will last you forever and one that requires the least amount of voltate to power the system, look into a slash series...

One huge word of advice for the dub 7 though, get a custom box made to the exact specs that JL lists on their website, you do it right and that sub will crank its *** off, magnificant piece of work, with a generic box, its made for anything, you will be amazed at the power, accuracy and delivery you will get with a fully tuned JL spec box.

System should sound great though man! congrats on getting some of the best out there!

thats the one thing i have found with JL. I have had it for about 8 years now and it pounds the same, its a JL 12w7 with a 500/1 amp though
