JL Audio disappoints me

[Brian_smith06 10+ year member]

jl never impressed me.. they just did NOTHING special.. people rave about the w6s and there SQ, but they didn't sound better than alot of woofers you can get for half the price. for instance people swear the w7 is the best sounding and loudest woofer... as soon as people used them, they where noting special... the w6 is 600 bucks.. the AE AV simply is superior in every way and is a mere 275 shipped... less than half.. with a 3 year warrentry... i recently installed a AE AV 15 on 2 1750s @4ohm mono, despite the coil rubbing it sounded excellent and output was jaw dropping... i would compare it to the DD 3500 series output wise while sounding exceptional... i will be 7/32 the price.. hell for the same price the IDQ is a much better option... its basically a w7 output wise sounded better with 1k and is cheaper than both the w6 and w7...

that is not true. the idmax would have output like a w7 but yes the idq does sound better. the w6 and idq are basically the same in everyway when it comes to sq and spl

but keep in mind sq is subjective

if you mena peaky down low louder, yea the w7 will take the cake, but im talking car audio subsonic bandwidth aka 30-70hz... average, there within .25 of each other.. not worht the 650 more bucks... as for as the w6 having the same output, maybe in a would where jl knows how to alter physics...

You do know that subsonic implies lower than the audible range?

yeah, because DD service is soooooo much better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif Maybe you should look up how long it took for them to send me my amps back...oh wait, they didnt.
to the OP... just own up to buying JL's shit stream of marketing bs and move on. There are plenty of choices for you out there these days. I thoroughly suggest you read thru the forums here and don't go after every boner sub some of the boneheads on here push on people. Make up your own mind, learn and read here and soak it in, then go buy some wang.

Man you always rag on people for talking up what they have in there car, But yet everytime someone mentions DD your the first to put them down. Now go change your tampon and whine some more about DD... Thank you

You are paying for the name and proprietary parts. They are great quality as far as fit n' finish, but yes their over the top prices give them the image of prestige, which people then relate to being "The Best". Good marketing.

20hz and lower is considered subsonic and for most people is inaudible.

Congratulations, this is the longest run on sentence I have ever seen.

", . ? !"

Back to the point, after having your message analyzed by numerous linguists we've come to the conclusion that this "paragraph" is stating that you fed 6000 watts to a sub that is rated for 1000 - 1500 tops and you're suprised that it blew.

Honestly, WTF did you expect?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
