Audio Advice/ info needed…

This is what I’m planning on adding to
23” Badlands (Non Sas, Non B&O)
6 speaker delete with enclosure (Dummy Amp and dummy Sub)


JL Audio C2-400x 4" (Dash)
JL Audio C2-650x 6-1/2"
JL Audio C2-600x 2-way Speaker
JL Audio 8W1v3-4 8" Component Subwoofer

2 x AudioControl ACM-4.300 50W x 4 Compact Amplifier
1 amp for the Sub and
1 amp for 6 speakers (dash, kick panel, rear pods )

1x PAC LPA-E.4 4ch LOCPRO Active Line Output Converter 4in/4out

1. Would this fit/work ???
2. Has anyone done anything similar ??
3. Do I need any special harness for plug in n Play ??


This list was generated by a nice fellow at Crutchfield.com

My understanding is that the amps are a bit of an over kill!?
But I’m told this is the best option for the small compact size I’m looking for.
The idea is to try and fit both Amps behind the rear panel where Sub enclosure is, as I do not want to place them under a seat or out in the open exposed.

I run all JL speakers (except underseat subs)

your choices are great 👍

I hollowed out the kick speakers holes much deeper and used the jumbo magnet JL Audio 6W3v3-4, in the kick speaker location with an soundstream amp... I like lots of mid range punch.

1. Should fit and work fine, look like good choices
2. I don't think I have seen this particular setup, but don't let that stop you
3. Maybe, it depends on your level of confidence/experience with car audio wiring. If you want plug and play, you will need some sort of loop-back harness.

I don't think your amps are overkill at all. You are driving 6 speakers with a 4x50 in an inherently loud car. If you plan on lots of top-down driving, you will be fine but definitely not overkill. Hardtop on all the time - you will be good.

Thank you, this is a very helpful reply to my original questions.
I’m feeling more and more confident on attempting to make this upgrade myself.
It’s definitely worth a shot.
Appreciate the feedback/info and the link your provided 🙌🏼
