86242ls, I'm thinking of using JL as well, with exception to using 4 8.8s. What kind of head unit are you using? Does this set up require an additional battery? If not, does it drain your primary batteries quickly?

The Mobil Monitor series must be different or it is the angle of the kick panel pods in this Ranger. Actually what surprised me about these speakers was how high and wide the sound stage is considering their low placement. They are not directional at all in my application.
Not fair for me to compare the db series, please ignore my post

I have used polk MM series on my SeaRay and 4 6.5" with two Kicker subs are fantastic. I did use a JL amps but the MM Polk sounds as good as anything until I listened to Focal... I just ordered a set of them for my MTI and its going to rock!!
For the money the Polk but if you don't mind dropping some coin the FOCAL is hands down the best audio equipment out there.

I am using an alpine head unit with their remote commander. I just installed the system so I Donno how much draw it will have. I was told that as long as my batteries are fresh I shouldn't have a problem with draining the batteries, we'll see....

I was going to start another thread but I see what happens here...
I have 4 6x9 JBL's and Im in the process of rebuilding my bench structure out of starboard... so I would hate to cut out the 6x9 holes for these speakers that seem decent but then im stuck again with the 6x9's. Should I just cut my losses now and go to a 6.5 speaker? Buddy of mine said that there's not much of a market for the 6x9's anymore... Not sure i can afford the 6.5 JL speakers right now...
