I disagree with the whole ID tech being old thing the OP keeps saying, but, why so much hostility from everyone?
Honestly, the guy got JLs for a killer price. The main issue ppl have with JL is the price and when that's altered, well, what else can u say? You can't seriously say JL is garbage. I doubt the ID CTXs will out perform the C5s as they are just in different leagues IMO.
It's been proven that JL wins SQ comps everything from his C5s up front to the w3 sub...both have succeeded in SQ comps and when it's all setup correctly, his setup will likely sound better than half the systems on this forum and he'll have paid the same if not less than some of you. But, he's doing it wrong? Come on son.
