Dilemma - Cadence vs JL

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

Price is fairly important.

Looking towards the future - I'm havin to sell my truck before summer(not sure when) and I want to go ahead and start building my system for her.

Basically what I'm lookin at -

Jl ZR components

15" AudioQue HD sub

And now for the Dilemma - a Z1200 and a Z8000 for the sub/comp

or

a 1000/1 and a 300/2?

Keep in mind I don't wanna lose quality(which I'm not sure that I would either way) but I don't want to kill myself price-wise.

Opinions?

Also - for around 350 bucks what subs would you choose for SQL in the 15" range?

AQ HD 15, seXXX 15, what else?

PG xenon 1200.1 real cheap right now becasue begin disct for new line, just traded my jll 1000/1 for it and was happier with the PG xenon amp. ALso its better on your charging system.

625 shipped from Ebay, or 799.99 from my local shop, this will be the last thing I pick up, hoping they'll come down in price before then.

Cadence or JL?

Not much interested in anything else(stubborn)

Meh, bah

I don't know if it's worth the extra cash though

"If you got teh cash" means a lot

Will Cadence give me great sound , still? From what I've experienced and read, it will, but I'm just getting some more opinions

I have 2 cadence z400's mand a cadence z9000 and I can say I love them,Lots of features (well what you need) and plenty of clean power.

Also on carstereos.org almost all the reviews done on subs they were powered off 1 or more Cadence Z9000's

Just a heads up- I placed an order (11/5) with the only seller on ebay that I could locate ("gigafurniture"-sells a strange combo of custom furniture and car audio). Anyway, he just sent me an email yesterday saying that it would be at least 2 weeks and maybe more for the ZR's as he couldn't get them from JL due to Wilma.

Orions were a maybe in my mind, but I wasn't sure about their quality so much
