It had better have been an AWESOME price. These are the one product that JL has made that even I will say are overpriced. $550 retail. Ummmm I don't think so. Two for that price would be about right.

Are you really gona give them 1,000 watts rms each? isnt that on the high side if JL recommends 600 rms max?

What size enclosure do you plan on running?

coming from JL these are better than the w6 and possibly the w7s.

retail on them is crazy no way i would pay that for them.

Define "better".
You also said in your other thread that the one 13 you heard in a 'small sealed box' sounded 'like two 15s ported' to you, so clearly your judgment and experience are questionable at this point.

So far this new sub is 'better than a W6 or W7' and sounds like a pair of 15's ported. Does it shit golden eggs as well? Im glad you are excited about your new purchase, but lets stay realistic here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Didnt you order 2 jl 1000/1 to go with your 2 13w5s?

Im interested in how are you gonna give them 600 to 700 rms to them since I have a 1000/1 and need a new sub?

Interesting since I'd heard that they were slightly less musical than the W6 and were slaughtered by both in output because they lacked in excursion. Sounds like the guy you talked to was trying to hype the new product...

I'll wait till the SI BMs come out and get a pair for $300, thanks.

Don't get me wrong, I like JL and think that for the most part, their pricing is on par with their competitors, but the TW5 series are insanely expensive for what they have to offer.
