[QUOTE="Saint211, post: 5242333, member: 564903"] JL makes good quality products, but they ARE overpriced. The reason you think the subs from on here are crappily made is probably because most of them are hand assembled by the small companies selling them. You probably saw a bit of CA around the dustcap and assumed its crappy. IMO, I dont want you to bash JL... but there are better woofers available. Not only that but there are woofers similar in output for much cheaper. We know it doesnt cost 800 or 900 dollars to make the w7. It cost much less than that and essentially you are caughing up an extra paycheck or two to have people see JL on your gear. And why when theres other stuff available. thats why people on here dont like it. People on this site arent all rich, and still value performance and quality. Plus in the car audio industry, and especially with the peopel on this site.... theres a huge uneasiness of lying about product, unwarranted markups, pushy reps, protected zones ,middle-men/area-reps, bad customer-service etc. So most car-audio people on here are naturally not going to like the fact that JL has inflated prices. I dont like paying for a name. I will pay for quality though. If JL was cheaper, Im sure I would consider looking at it. [/QUOTE]
