Go with digital amps. Alpine, JL Audio or Rockford.

That XD600/6 is digital.


OP, that 600/6 is a good amp. I have it tucked under the steering wheel in my jeep and it rocks the shit out of my polks.
If you dont go JL, Alpine pdx is also really good

Nothing wrong with an old fosgate but they run really hot and kill batteries like its there job.

Digital vs. old school is like a old light bulb vs. led if that makes sense. The technology is amazing and the power they put out in a small foot print is crazy.

I'd be interested in them for nostalgia sake. Let me know what you Want for them and where you're located.

I've got 2 in my boat.....it's been so long since I've used it, they're already nostalgic. :D I'll keep you in mind if I ever pull it out of the museum.... I'll upgrade them to digital ones.

Made the decision.

Amps: 2 JL600/6 for the 7.7's and a JL1200/1 for the subs.
Speakers: 6 sets of JL mx770
Subwoofers: 2 JL10W6
Receiver: JL's New Head Unit with 3 remotes

Anyone have LED rings around the speakers? Is it worth it or a waste of money?

Why 2 amps for 6 speaker sets?

I have a Fosgate 851x, same style as the 2 lower amps in that picture. Let me know if you want it.

SD why 3 remotes?

i would guess u only need the leds for night rides. Im building a system as well and basically have the same package as you except im only going with 4 sets.

I got all my stuff on Amazon and Ebay. Alpine PDX amp, Alpine Type R sub, and JL speakers

I did the R&R of all the old speakers and amp myself, and took it to a shop to get an extra pair of speakers and a custom box installed.

Do the pdx amps hold up well in the 115 degree outdoor heat?

The class d amps do much better than a/b in the heat. Nothing is bullet proof, but these come pretty damn close. (PDX, XD, etc)
