Sorry for the link. Pics were easier for a computer noob ,like myself, to post over there. LOL. Now, having said that, maybe it'll work as a link and you guys won't have to copy n paste.

I can't see them either but how do u like the components over the Bose?

I plan to run a JL W6 12 in a ported box myself on a JL 500/1. Wanted a W7 but it's way more pricey since it needs the 1000/1 and takes up much more space. W6's sound amazing anyway!

Im thinking of goin w6 myself now. Price and amp space reasons... There is no comparison between the jl's and the factory bose lol. The components are much cleaner, crisper, and a LOT LOUDER.

I may do components then as well. Factory Bose is impressive for stock but I know it's no JL setup. Lol

Yeah... W6 is best bang for the buck IMO. Still a high quality setup that requires a little less power and a little less space.

Pics worked here. That looks pretty good. The dash would take some getting used to being so bare lol.

Very nice brotha I like the in-dash... I too have a JL setup... C5's up front and C3's in back... two 13W6's ported with two HD750's... I honestly wouldn't waste money on a 12W7 with only 500 watts it's not enough... I'd either do a 10W7 or a 12W6.

Yeah i think I've been persuaded to go with a w6 12". Lol. The 500 amp is almost the.exact same length as the 300/4 i already have so it'll match up nicely.

From what i can tell that is correct, you do have to be a member to see the pics... Sorry guys. Ill check into shrinking them down to make the pics postable on this site..

I've run a few sets on 10's in the past and although they sound nice, you don't get as much sound from a 10 as u do a 12 IMO.

No wonder because I was like what pics!

I've got an Alpine Type R 12 with a 500 watt Alpine mono amp. Sounds decent in the V. I ran two JL 12W7s in my Formula. Way overkill.
