Better than JL ?

good luck fiting them in the correct enclosure in anything but a large SUV or van with no extra storage\passanger space.
imo - you can get that loud with a smaller box, and smaller drivers and sound better to boot. having a pair of 18's is basically just a wow factor - or an SPL vehicle lol. for 350, you got a deal on a pair of mediocre subs in my oppinion. but using them practically? thats another oppinion all together.

space is not a problem, but that was one reason why I was considering something else.

you say you could get louder and sound better, why not tell me how then.

thanks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

quote=MTX 1501d, 1989 Ford Bronco, as for the box... there will be many. I'll first start with a 10cuft sealed.=quote

i think this would suffice as far as having room to play with.

req, I haven't bought them yet, and what do you mean by "but using them practically? that's another opinion all together?

practicality is one of my major concerns in a vehicle. a 10ft3 box is not practical... but a 4ft3 box tuned to 35hz is alot more practical. and you could get a pair of good 12's for maybe a little more than $350 and get just as loud off that power.

imo - its just a retarded stereo - but so is steve meade's "daily driver" in my opinnion. i dont like that much bass, its just my oppinion. if you feel you have the need for that much output and wasted space in your car, go for it. you wont find much better for that price, its just retarded in my oppinion. but with a little bit of looking around, im sure you could go with a pair of 12's for a little more $ and get about the same output in a well designed ported box.

It's cool man, I understand what you mean. hell 10ft3 is one of the smaller boxes I'll be trying. I fiqured it was a good deal on the 18's so I might as well get them. this isn't a truck I drive everyday, the lift and tires are more retarded then two 18's. but you still haven't told me which pair of twelves you are talking about. let me no what you are thinking, always interested in learning.
