JL Audio XD600/6 Amp and AudioControl 2XS Recommendation / Help
This is mainly out of curiosity, and if this combo may work, I might try it out.
Does anyone have any experience with the 2XS? If I connect a differential-balanced input to it will it work just fine and push out two differential-balanced outputs that I can hook up to an amplifier?
I am essentially trying to solve the conversion of 4 signals into 6 signals that would be required to use all 6 speaker sets in the car. (2005 G35 Coupe with 2 components in the front, the rear speakers and the two rear deck woofers).
Anyone know of a better way to do this? Maybe just buying a 4-channel amp and using some sort of line level crossover to split the rear channel into 2 signals for the rears and 2 signals for the woofers?

A) Buy a 4 channel amp and buy a 2 channel amp.
B) Buy a 6-channel amp.
C) Don't run the rear speakers at all and just use the rear deck woofers to help fill, since you have (I guess) good components up front anyway.
D) Remove the rear deck woofers and install a mono channel amp and a sub.

A) Buying two amps would be nice, but you still only have 4 channels of input signal coming from the stock HU and you have 6 channels to output to. The Bose basically does what I think the AudioControl 2XS does and takes one of the R/L pairs of signals and splits them into two.
B) The XD600/6 is a six-channel amp. The main point of the thread was to see if anyone knew a method of converting 4 differential-balanced inputs into 6 differential-balanced inputs for said amp.
C) Ideally I'd like to use all the speaker slots given to me to maximize the audio in the car. It seems like a waste to just ignore two capable speaker slots (the 6x9s or the 6 1/2s)
D) Same deal as C =) and I would hate to lose any more trunk room! Two golf bags are already testing me on a normal basis lol.

A) Amps with pre-outs to chain to other amps are extremely common.
B) My bad for not looking it up. Your bad for not reading your manual.
From JL's online Manual:
C) No problem with this choice of amp.
D) Ditto.
So you don't need the 2XS at all with that amp.
And it's pretty much obligatory at this point:

From JL's online Manual:
The XD600/6’s input section allows you to send signals to the amplifier section through the use of two, four or six differential-balanced inputs.
If you wish to feed all six channels by using only four channels of full-range input, set the “Input Mode” switch in the to “4 Ch.” and use only the inputs to channels 1, 2, 3 & 4. In this mode, channels 5 & 6 will operate with a sum of the 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 input signals, respectively.
