will the xenon amp sound or be better than my amps?

Post by kg1961 »

I own like new clarion amps a dpx1851 mono amp 460watt rms 4ohm and a apx2181 90x2 4ohms

now my question is if I was to use a x600.1 and a x100.2 would there be any difference in my sound?


I know my subs will be getting 250 watt plus more but will it be worth changing. if I do for my wifes car I don't need to buy a line level unit. in my car I have a jl clean sweep dsp so im fine with the pg set up

with that being said what are the thoughts on the 2011 pg ti 6.5cs mid/tweeter set up vs my clarion SRU1720
I don't care about looks just sound

I'd be shocked if you noticed much difference.
Being loud without good sound quality is pointless, but having good sound quality without being loud is also pointless.

Just swap them out and have a listen. Probably take you 30 min and then make your own disision. You trying to snake the wife of the good stuff. Lol.

I heard the Ti comps on a sound board recently. I was very impressed.....but again, it was a sound board and not in a car.

I may be partial to the Xenon amps, but you shouldn't notice any difference.

ok shit is changing like normal.

I don't have fund to buy my wife a nice line level unit so she is getting my clarion amps.

now with that being said i will be using the 2 x100.2 i own. I have a jl dsp clean sweep so rca outs. i hae a lpl and rmd for the amps.

now if i use the x100.2 i don't feel i have the power to run my new clarions :( . so here is what i have on hand 8)
1. 12" jl 12w1v2-4 in a pre made by jl ported box with grill
2. 2 12" 12w0v2-4 and i will get a box made (can do sealed or ported)

the x 100.2 i have is rated at 272 watt rms so let me know what you would do. im not worried about space so much i just like some clean bass

I use the real channels on my X100.4 to power my Xmax. More than enough bass for my needs. You won't be setting any records, but it sure sounds good.
