Yeah I know. I still am going with 2 JL 300/4 and was planning on 1 JL 1000 but it seems a lot of the competition SPL guys think the XX Hifonics line is pretty good.
My thoughts were keeping the mids and highs loud and clear and throwing some watts to the subs if I go with the IDMAX's.
Don't get caught up in having to have the "best" stereo on the water. Go with the stereo that meets your needs, is reliable, and be happy with that. It's not a competition, and your torturing yourself to come up with something new and different. There are a lot of proven quality systems out there.
