[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7841266, member: 614752"] JL is premium priced equipment. Quality is good, but 4X better than Kicker to justify the 4X price..... probalby not. I really like the JBL/Infinity stuff. For lower power applications I find it works great. Low end JL isn't worth touching at any price, so if you're not into their higher lines for that price don't even consider it. Materials for fiberglass are expensive and it is very labor intensive. If they have some examples of their work, it looks good, and you care about looks, fiberglass box may make you happy... Properly done fiberglass or wood should do the same thing. You may want to ask both shops if they will install equipment you buy elsewhere. Part of what you're paying for buying retail from a shop is their service. If something goes wrong, do you have to uninstall something and try to chase down warranty from an online retailer, or will the shop just swap you out right there? (aslo worth asking what their policy is). [/QUOTE]
