First let me thank Eldo and a few other people who gave me their 2 cents on amps and speakers for my TL.

So this is what I got (and it will be installed in 3 or 4 weeks based on my schedule):

DLS Iridium 6.5" components
DLS MW110 Magnesium cone sub (10")
DLS Ultimate A5 3 channel amp (for the sub and components)

The front doors are going to be dynamated, the sub is going to be put into a sealed box with the amp hidden and a wall in the trunk. The sub is 4 ohms and will get 300w continuous from the A5 (the amp will put 500w into 2 ohms and 700w into 1 ohm, so its got more than enough juice for another sub (or 2).

Since my Alpine 9853 has a good EQ and time correction built-in, no external processing will be necessary.

It came in about $300 more than I expected, but considering the reputation of DLS, SFX and the fact that cheaper parts wouldn't save me all that much $, I busted a nut and went big.

I'll post pics once its finished.

 

How much was it to dynamat just the front doors?

 

That should sound sweeet!

Just remember to let the speaks break in - DLS says "15-20 hours" but I think it's closer to 10...

 

He threw it in as part of the package.... I didn't ask the value of the treatment.

 

I hope it does......

I'll break them in as I drive the car (its not driven all that much anymore...... I use public transportation for work).
