JL Audio System: The Big Bad Ford

What do you guys think of this?

http://mobile.jlaudio.com/pdfs/SYS_1.pdf

I'm thinking of swapping the sub in that setup for one of their stealthboxes: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_s...hp?fit_id=1512

What amp would match up to that, they recommend 300W RMS, 500W peak for the sub.

I pretty much used to have that setup in my truck. XR570CSi's (F/R) on 300/4 and a 10W6v2 on 500/1...

INCREDIBLE!

but ya that stealthbox will do fine. you can either do the 250/1, 500/1 or the 300/2 (to stay all JL)

Excellent, I'll start setting aside some cash...

How will all that sound compared to the stock Audiophile system? Will it be worth the $ to upgrade? Will I need a new HU as well?

1000x better.

It would definately help... Or a dig EQ with LOC (like the RF 3Sixty.1/2)

Would this system be good for rap? When you had it did you like the bass?
