I did tune mine the last time in the driveway with engine running. It sounds better going down the road than previously. Just had to make sure the laptop didn't fall off the seat.

My neighbors are almost over it!

I'm more concerned about 6 speakers being powered by a JL 500/4.

U can rev that shix all day long at red line but that ain't gonna close the watt gap.

Just sayin!!

Yeah, neighbors might be a little mad at me yesterday, good thing is I have a little seniority on my block.

Talked to JL before using this amp with my set up, they said I shouldn't have any problems, and haven't had any problems the last 6 months I've been using it. The new edition is the PSM, trying to clean it up a little. Otherwise it sounds good, of course after many speaker changes before I got to where I'm at now.

If it's working for u brother that's awesome!!!

I just don't think I would set a system up with 70W x 4 @ 4 ohm - 14.4 volts on a sled. If u roll parallel 4 ohm speaks to 2 ohm load ur looking at 62.5 watts each. If ur running all high efficient PAs u might me ok as the JL shix is damn efficient but I think ur leaving a bit on the table with that amp powering ur setup.

Like I said, if it works for ur ears roll with it but just throwing out some different perspectives.

Yeah, its actually pretty loud and clear, been told by a few shops local that I should get a small two channel amp and run the B3s on. But after talking to two different JL techs they said I should be fine running six speakers.Speaker rms 100 watts I'm giving them 70, I know I'm not maxing the speakers out but 70 clean watts have them sounding good. If I ever burn the JL amp out will probably go with the DD audio amp.
