WillPwn4Food Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Quality wise, both are going to be outstanding. Polk Audio definitely knows what they're doing. The Polk will put out more power per channel 90wx4 vs JL 75wx4), but I believe the JL amp you listed is stable down to 1.5 ohms, as opposed to the Polk that I believe is stable down to 2 ohms.

I tried the 300/4 and its bigger and less watts and getts hotter but I think it cost less. The hd600/4 is double the watts and smaller.

863hurricane Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I actually thought about the HD600/4 but Ive got so much money wrapped up in this already and work gets a little slow in the summer so I kind of need to slow down still need alternator or do you think I can get by with adding my stinger battery in the back? Im hoping to be done with this install in 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping to be done with this install in 2 weeks well the hd600/4 is expensive but its supposed to use less power. But I don't know about adding your battery before u upgrade your alt maybe someone else can answer that but if I'm not wrong its better to have your alt first cause if your gonna put another battery then your alt is gonna have to charge two batteries instead of one plus run your system.
