[QUOTE="ashtrey1212, post: 4501529, member: 588132"] Before I say anything let me say that I do agree that JL is a good company but, I've never had a JL product and I never will for these reasons. Money being the first one, I've heard a lot systems that sound just as good if not better for half the price. The guys at the car audio shop I go to told me a W7 goes for around $850 dollars and for that kind of money they advised towards two 12" Type X's which would sound amazing SQ wise while still maintaining crazy SPL for a whole $800 after taxes. Secondly, R&D means about as much to me as a bull with tits when your product sounds just like any other brand with a good rep. There are alot of good companies out there other that JL that have been around a long time that people are very still very happy with. Thirdly, I feel sorry for people who go out and buy JL products and then have to covince themselves that their friends system doesn't sound better than his because " it's not JL " and he didn't spent X amount of dollers on it. And finally. JL fanboys have overly hyped them up to me for so long about just being the greatest company known to man that when I finally seen/heard my buddy's W7 and my other buddy's W6's I said to them, " and you spent how much on all this ". For what they do in real life and not in everyones dreams I could really care less. [/QUOTE]
