yes yet, another poll

went to the car audio shop today to price some sh*t out.

i can get ahold of a jl 12w6v2 w/ a ported box for 479$

orrr

AA ava12.

i would've gone w/ the ava15 over both, but i have no room in my trunk none-the-less.

i just called AA to make an order about 10 min ago, but no answer...so i figure i would come on here to get one last opinion.

the specs on the ava seem to be more favoring over the w6...

will be going in a 2.5^3 @ 30hz

now you decide.

JL = teh w!n

 

[norcalSRTrida 10+ year member]

care to explain why?

looking at spec sheets, the ava seems to be in favor in alot more areas of criteria over the JL.

but im sure you have a logical explanation

it was my 1st time seeing a w6 outside of the box, and i must say they are solid subs. ive never favored JL but, seeing one play swayed my opinion.

i am in no way satisfied how w3's play tho, i must say.

If the ava seems to favor more in the spec department, then why are you making this poll suggestion. Go get it then!

specs dont mean everything. and 2nd/3rd opinions are always helpful.

im calling AA as we speak to place an order.

thanks for the suggestions.

You're weclome.

I voted for the avalanche because of T/S parameters alone, but I will say that neither will disappoint you in any regards. JL makes a killer product, the main beef everyone on this forum has with them is that they are so freakin expensive and will not allow their products to be sold on the web for a much cheaper price.

for a small company however things are said or implied it is their right to change as they see fit. i dont totally agree with how things went down but i cant blame them for switching. as far as a business goes aa gave me a refund 3 months after i recieved my woofer.....(due to their price drop) now how many companies do you think would do that? they have a good warranty to boot. i just think its sorta dumb to say a company is bad over a disagreement over things said. if you look down on either sides you arent a realist imo you would be more or less a bandwagoneer. i say this because in business i heard alot of stuff like this go down before with other very good companies, main diff is none of it went public. adire makes some REALLY good stuff so does AA i am more than happy with my dealings with both companies and would recomend either one without a worry.

a new 12w6 at the shop was 479 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

then i went to my other local shop, and the dude came swarming me. i was like show me the best sh!t you got in this store...

and he pulled out niche and dub (the company that makes dub wheels...eek)

i love sales people tho man, guy was claiming his 500w sub 'kills JL, pg, kicker, and orion'. i askd for his name, told him have a good day, and left.
