09 VTX Stereo Amp Upgrade Q's

[erervin]

Thinking hard about replacing the factory Rockford amps with two JL Audio amps to drive the four cabin speakers, two tower speakers, and the single 12" sub.

• Will the JL Audio M600/1 sub amp be too much power for the factory sub? Any reviews/recommendations?
• Is the JL Audio M600/6 six-channel sub a good option to power the six speakers?

Also open to other brands and suggestions. Thanks.

The m600/1 would deliver 400w rms to the factory 4 ohm woofer. Thats respectable power and should sound good if the woofer is in a solid enclosure. It would be nice to have more wattage for the tower speakers.

I would consider using a Wet Sounds HT-6 for the 4 in-boats and sub and then go with an HT-2 for the tower speakers. Its a little less wattage for the sub, but not enough to make an audible difference IMO, but way more power available for the two in-boat pair and tower pair. if you want to stick with the JL M series, then consider the m1000/5 and the m/400/4 combo.
