    first way louder, requires electrical several hundred in electrical upgrades to your car

    second would sound way better and may require only minimal upgrades to your electrical system. but wont be as loud.

    to me its not even a choice, i would go JL

    the subs are considered by some the best period at any price, the amp, very clean, very controlled. a sweet pair really.

    Subs of different sizes/wattages can cause sound cancellations.

    Read this before you do anything http://spkrbox1.spaces.live.com/

    If your total system power is 1000 watts RMS or more, you will need to:

    1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator

    2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery

    3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground from the battery to the chassis and the ground strap from the engine/tranny to the chassis with at least 1/0 AWG wire.

    Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail.

    Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26...

    A second battery is never a good idea as it's an added strain on the alternator to charge two batteries AND supply power for the car. The ONLY time a second battery is useful is if the audio system is to be used with the car off.

    A cap is only good so far as the audio system isn't trying to pull too much from the electrical system. A cap doesn't provide more power, it's designed to 'stiffen' the voltage to the amp, nothing esle. If the current isn't there, a cap won't help. The alternator must have at least 20% more amperage power than the entire vehicle and sound system combined for a cap to be of benefit which is ironically the same requirements for an amp to be efficient.

    JL, definitely, and I'm not a fan of JL by ANY means. The first setup is ridiculous unless THAT is why you'd be doing it, to be ridiculous and hilarious. I don't think you'd hear anything but bass...
