Does JL Audio make a "Platinum Series"?

[daking247365 10+ year member]

So I was in this kids Escalade last night and he had a W7. I asked him what amp he had powering it and he said a JL 750/1. Then he added that it was the Platinum Series. I didnt think JL made a Platinum Series...but I could be wrong. Someone please shed light on this.

OK, but is their TNA mobile line better/worse/or the same as their regular line?

People try to claim that TMA is on par with the JL line, and while it is decent, I dont feel it is as good having heard both

TMA is lower class than the slash series.. But My buddy did a swap with the TMA 1000 watt class D to the 1000/1 and audibly didnt notice much pushing 2 12 w3v3s.. The slash did seem like it had more power behind it tho, made it feel like the subs were hitting harder.. But for the price difference the TMAs are descent..

That is to be expected, as the JL was doing 1000 at whatever voltage and ohm, so box rise was not a factor...The TMA would have lost power from volt droppage as well as box rise....but really, for the price, I would run TMA

OK, this kid claimed that they had a platinum series and he was throwing out crazy numbers that his "platinum series" 750/1 could do. i was curious cause i had/have never heard of a platinum series til now.

Neither have any of us.. The kid is a spoiled punk who knows nothing about audio, and buys the most expensive mainstream shit because he thinks its the best..

Laugh, and walk away

I thought that to, until my memphis mc1000d played the w3s the best out of everything

TMA and Memphis subs wired to 1 ohm, 1000/1 @ 4

JL ran a limited edition of W3(I think?) and W6s that had chrome-plated baskets, but speaker-wise it is the same.

yea dont worry i felt like he was full of it and i did laugh at him. then he started ragging on Audiopulse and claiming that they were garbage which made me laugh even more

I would love to see him score higher than the numbers I put up with my $600 system in my sig. Tones or music ....
