    Hey All, I am currently trying to upgrade my terrible JBL system... I just received the
    $319 Rockford Fosgate DSR1 8-Channel Interactive Signal Processor w/Integrated iDatalink Maestro Module
    Rockford Fosgate DSR1 and need help on choosing the remaining components.Keeping the stock head unit. My main hurdle is figuring out what amp to go with. At a minimum I want to do a 10” JL Sub but am considering 2 10’s or possibly a 12” I do not want overwhelming bass but a good all around sound with some punch. I at a later point plan on changing out door speakers and tweets but not on the list right now. I just want them to have some more power for now. I’m not looking to splurge on a stereo so I have to keep it fairly simple and on the cheaper side of things. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    You are on the right track! Dsr1 is a great option for those with jbl that want to keep the factory head unit.

    Start looking at 5channel amps. Something 75x4 +500x1.
    As far as door speakers, you really depends on your budget. I have jl c5-650 up front and they are amazing, but pricey.

    I would send James at tech12volt (he's a vendor here) and let him know what you are trying to accomplish. He has great prices and even better customer service.

    Per the advice of so many, I am currently working w James on building up my system as well. He seemed very well versed on the best way to attack this common issue.
    Give him a holler.

    I did 4 Kicker amps under the back seat, 2,800 watts total. A pair of Kicker 10’s behind the seat, Kicker components in the doors, Kicker 3.5” in the dash and new speaker wire ran individually to each speaker (even the tweeters). I also did the Rockford processor. It rocks even if I say so myself.

    Dang. Baller!

    I always wondered how you get signal for more than 2 amps if they don't have a pass thru.

    I just recently upgraded my system, keeping the head unit and door speakers.

    with a Kenwood X801-5, 5 channel amp and a
    $124 AudioControl LC7i 6-Channel Line Output Converter with AccuBASS
    AudioControl LC7i line out converter
    and a rockford fosgate 12 inch sub. Even with the factory speakers this things sounds
    amazing. Prolly will upgrade the speakers at some point.
