[QUOTE="Why So Cereal?, post: 7741565, member: 626047"] A few of those companies still make some decent quality stuff. Eclipse is out of business, but u can still get some of their products on ebay and occasionally on other sites. On the note of the JL's I wouldn't say they are "dull"...but I think its best someone hear JL comps before buying as they are usually hit or miss. Its just a sound some ppl like and some hate. One thing is for sure....JL has been doing very well in the SQ competition lanes with their components, subs, and amps, so obviously the product quality is still there. I wouldn't count them out completely. Have you considered running an active 3 way front stage, in which you buy your own raw drivers and set up your own xover points and all? also, are u COMPLETELY against a 2 way front stage? There are some really good 2 way sets out now that will give your budget 3 way comp sets a run for their money and even whoop them if the install is up to par. I know u said you like the "fullness" of the 3 way front, but speaking from experience, I ran a 3 way front stage and went back to a 2 way front (both active) and I can't honestly say that I missed the 3 way front stage too much. A good 2 way can give u the sound u want more than likely [/QUOTE]
