JL is over priced for what you get anymore. SSA, Fi, the upper DC levels, Sundown, Brahma, even AB has a couple higher up models to look at that are nice. There is a reason so many people call it Skarbage here and other audio forums.
I joined this forum in 2005 to buy three RE XXX 18's. I learned how to design boxes and mod amps. Don't take it personal. I wouldn't trust Buck to wipe my ***.
