[QUOTE="JLJunkieMX107, post: 8670632, member: 577425"] I don't really hear many people talk bad about them from a quality standpoint. It's just that so many other companies have popped up and they offer similar (if not better) capabilities at a fraction of the cost. If you can't tell from my screen name, I was a JL fanboy for many years. I ventured out into other brands and quickly lost my hard-on for all things JL. Don't get me wrong, their stuff is great quality. I just couldn't justify spending $800 for a 750rms JL amp when there are a dozen korean boards on the market putting out a ton more power (with damn near the same reliability) for half the price. I still have 4 of the original 12W3s that I picked up in the mid to late 90's and they sound just as good as they did when I bought them. Like yours, I had to replace the foam surround due to dry rotting, but they are still kicking. I'll never get rid of these due to sentimental reasons. The first system I ever heard was 2 12w3s and I was HOOKED on car audio from that moment on. [/QUOTE]
