[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3017500, member: 561023"] I have no beef with JL Audio when looking at it purely from a product quality standpoint. They inarguably make solid gear and that's the end of that. But when you factor in their somewhat extreme retail pricing structure and the general attitude of their hardcore fans who will tell you (normally very loudly) that JL Audio is the Be All, End All of aftermarket car audio that people begin to get a bad taste in their mouth for anything associated with JL. Look at the average retail price of a 12w7. OMG! Now have a look around online (whether that be factory-direct from somewhere, eBay, Classifieds on a forum such as this, etc) and see what that same amount of money could potentially buy you and do a comparison. Would I rather spend a grand on a single 12w7 or would I rather take that grand and buy a pair of RL-s 12s BNIB direct from SoundSplinter that so long as they were powered adequately would soundly trounce the Dub7 all day long? I'll take the pair of RL-s 12s, tyvm. Again - JL makes a solid product without a doubt but their [I]average[/I] fanbase is more than a bit annoying in their claims of JL ruling all. [/QUOTE]
