what vehicle still using 4" speakers in this day\age , looking like a 4 dr pickup so vehicle acoustics might help it ...

I've been looking at that JBL DSP for a while. Glad to see someone using it. If it meets your standards, it has to be excellent. Nice placement on the sub box. That should sound much better than using a flat sub at that price point.
Thanks for posting. I'll post the log from my last install soon. I'm doing a much simpler build next. Thanks for sharing!

timelapse wrote:I figured as much.
Here's my humble recommendation.
Set the amp gains properly without the dsp in the signal chain using test tones and a multimeter. Then plug back in the dsp and dial in the limiter. Will tame any voltage spikes if you have any.
If you need guidance on this let me know.

The JBL site says that the amp output capability is as follows:
RMS Power Output @ 2Ω
60W x 8, <1% THD+N
RMS Power Output @ 4Ω
40W x 8, <1% THD+N
Looks like a nice little thing, and not too pricey for what it does, because after all, you're getting built-in DSP with it.
Turn everything on the dsp off:eq,time alignment, crossovers,etc.evolution7tt wrote:timelapse wrote:I figured as much.

The JBL DSP is the amplifier here.

So it’s basically the updated ms8. A little more power in a smaller package. Wonder what the gui looks like and how easy it is to use.

Does the amp portion provide sufficient overall output?
In relation to the sub, not sure if you mentioned if it is sealed/ported? Is the output sufficient to overcome the noise floor of the jeep (which I may be incorrectly assuming is high)
I used to have a sealed 8 inch infinity in my car before I got the JL 10 inch.Gladiator wrote:Firewall wrote:Good job.

To be honest I was not expecting the output to be sufficient especially for the Jeep environment. But after the initial install I never had the need for more power. I know you have to factor in the drivers and the sensitivity also.
The sub is what was unexpectedly surprising. A very small sealed enclosure and very good output with excellent freq response. Each 2 Ohm voice coil on a channel should give it 120W rms...

Thanks bro... thinking about upgrading the tweeters right about now. Any recommendations?

No budget really... let me know what's available or what you recommend.
