JL Cleansweep
I was thinking about adding a 12" sub and amp to my CLS55. Does anyone have experience with the JL Cleansweep? What is the procedure for adding an amp for just a sub and leaving the speakers stock (for now) until I can afford new crossovers/tweeters and amps for them?
Thanks!

I was going to do the clean sweep also, but after some reading i found out using a hi low converter was the best and easiest optiion. you can pick one up at best buy for 20 bucks. Very easy to install and works with any amps.

The only problem with the converters is that they start to distort when you have high wattage feeding them.. even the ones built in to the amps. The bass is very distorted and of phaze with the music. The added benifit of adding a signal proccesor is it changes the frequency in to a flat line and lets the amplifier do its job better.. You get much cleaner bass.
Good luck

i am no expert, but i am running a 1500 watt Kicker amp and 2 12" kicker L7 and i have no distoration, even before when i had a Fosgate 550 never had a problem, maybe i just got lucky.

The quality of the Audison amps that I use, sometimes JL also, are more superior than the off the shelf $10-$20 line output converter... so obviously the better the equipment the better the sound as long as the installation is completed perfectly
hope that makes sense
