Yeah - JL Likes to play with the specs. 140 x 2 @ 14.v 100 x 2 @ 12.5 v Going down the road we usually operate at approx 13.5 v So it's somewhere in between.

Thanks everybody

I do appreciate everyone's help and advice with this. Things are a lot more complicated these days. What is the story on the polyfill?

Best thing to do is give it a shot and see how you like it. I'm not a huge fan of the polyfill. I've tried it on all my speakers and the only speakers it helps are speakers that are very bright. Give's you a little more low end. I don't use it anymore. If you have good speakers you don't need it.

We never use it as we can normally dial everything in with tuning. I've heard some using it but I think any feedback you'll get will be subjective. My best guess would be that what Gannicus is saying is on par. I don't think it will improve real low mid range, but should dampen speakers that are really bright so they aren't echoing the highs as much and let the mids come through more.
