relax there killer. everyone assumes that just cus someone sticks up for a mainstream brand, or that cus someone likes mainstream brand product that their nobs just into the retail ****. not true. i brough up this thread, simply asking if anyone knew the release date of this amp. then i started getting all these members jumping in claiming its over priced and that im a mainstream user and blah blah.im tired of noob ***** coming in here thinking jl is god and that there shiit is worth the money....jl is over priced by alot..ofcourse u have never heard of mmats and thats because all noobs think mainstream is the best stuff around....ITS NOT there are subs for half the price that will whoop the DUB 7 up and down the street and there are amps from non main stream companys that will put any jl amp to shame and stick it in the corner till its learned its lesson
seriously bro save ur self some cash and stay away from jl for now...
i do love JL. not cus im a nob or cus i dont know other brands. i do know plenty of other brands and run non mainstream ****. look at my signature. i dont run ******* rare priceless jewels, but i dont run the classic kicker, jl and mtx. anyone can run what they like, but point is, that yes JL is expensive and some might consider it overpriced for their budgets, but truth is, that their **** is good and top quality. sure we all wish it was cheaper and more affordable, but their **** is some of the more top quality equipment you can buy. we are limited to what they build and we cant get a 2000 watt woofer or 1500 wat amp from them but based on the specs they use and what their prodcuts are built for, they give you great performance.
THANK YOU!Well, looking at the JL specs vs. MA specs, the JL wins hands down. Why? Because of the R.I.P.S technology. MA N3 makes 450 watts @ 4 ohms. The JL makes 1200 @ 1.5-4 ohm load. It also will make that power at only 11 volts whereas the MA needs 14.4 volts. What does that tell you? Bottomline is JL makes really nice stuff. Now, you may not like their prices or you may just be a JL-hater because they are the big, mainstream brand. However, you would be hardpressed to point to something in the their catalog and say it was junk. Someone made the claim that MMATS was "MUCH better quality" because it is made in the US. Really? Can you prove that by quoting an A/B comparison test?
Is JL the end-all, be-all? No, of course not. But, dogging a manufacturer because of their prices isn't a real convincing argument either.
here are some real specs. and these are the kind of things im talking about that do make jl a good brand and make me want this 1200/1 for example. im not trying to run all JL equipment, but i do like their line of amps, this one in particular.
i push a Lexus myself, so i totaly support this analogy lol.You JL bashers are the idiots.
Its like saying you shouldnt buy a Lexus because a Toyota costs less and can still get you from point A-B. While this is true to some extent, the fact is the Lexus is still nicer, and some people like nicer ****.
Ever heard of build quality? Fit/finish? JL is excellent.
but no seriously, build quality of JL is excellent, its one of the things they make sure to specialize in, and one of the reasons why they indeed have become mainstream.
