[QUOTE="BnGRacing, post: 7500392, member: 557400"] There's absolutely nothing wrong with JL products. I've dealt with JL since the 90's and I cannot remember a 'bad' product. JL's have their own timbre to them and are very well engineered products. I actually prefer them over the overhyped woofers that need 1000's of watts to make noise. While it's nice to have choices between different products, that does not mean what you do not like/enjoy is poor. In addition, I really doubt many other speaker manufacturers have the engineering power or experience as some of the folks over at JL. That's certainly the case when it comes to amps anyway. Some on this board do not like JL b/c it's not the right 'brand' or it does not fit their application (SPL). Aside from that, I don't think anyone here or on another board has grounds to call JL 'garbage' or 'junk'. At their price point, they're very good woofers...always have been. Over a decade ago, the original W6 sold for $299. Many called it overpriced junk back then, yet JL sold many. They still sound great and many are still 100% operational today. Their woofers have only gotten better while the price:performance ratio has gotten much lower. And yes, people can hear the difference once they look past specs & what they've read on an internet forum. JL's have a unique sound and don't need a lot of power to get going; very few subs today can do the same while still sounding great. [/QUOTE]
