theres about 5 that are better that can be bought all together for the same price of one JL

the only means of reinforcement thats gonna work is if you're running a setup that rapes theirs. some people are just too ignorant and will brush off your arguments like you don't know what you're talking about

13.5" is 1.5" shy of 15"

13.5 inches makes SQ sized sound waves. OP is screwed.

Pick any 12" sql sub that is rated for 1k, compare it to a JL 12W7 in price and performance.

Amazon.com: JL AUDIO 12W7 - Car subwoofer driver - 12.5": Electronics

$570 shipped for a 12W7

SSA Shop - SoundSolutionsAudio 12" SSA ICON Sub woofer

$260 shipped for an SSA Icon

That's just one sub. You can buy an Xcon for less. You could buy two Icons for less and get double the cone area, theoretically 3db extra output. If they think the W7 is going to sound better, they should probably commit suicide.

Ya know JL Audio are good stuff, their 1000/1 is one of the best 1000 watt amp you can buy, plus you know their stuff isn't put together by sweatshops and I rarely hear about quality problems with them. There are tons of threads of people asking whether this brand is any good or if that sub can really handle what it claims but you won't have to worry about that when you buy JL Audio because they've proved their worth - they're the most prominent name in the car audio business so some people buy it for the name for showoff points. A Gucci bag is infinitely better than a bag from Walmart. A Ray Ban sunglasses works just like the $8 no-name from a gas station but you can say you've got Ran Ban vision. $3000 Omega watch tells time like a $10 Casio watch but no self-respecting rich folk would ever want a watch from a company that also makes calculators... you get the idea.

If I was rich and don't know much about car audio then I'd just buy everything JL because everyone knows JL and everyone knows it's expensive. What the hell is Sundown? My son don't have down syndrome. What is Incriminator Audio? Sounds like it's for stupid teenagers. No-name custom subs? What are you poor and can't afford name brands? etc etc...

You're just having fun being a hater, aren't you? You've never used any JL stuff, have you?

A buddy of mine was at my house over the weekend. We were gonna be messing with his setup which is all jl. Before he came I told him how he could've got better, then he told me how much he paid so I couldn't complain. He asked what I had so I told him "a solo x" he'd never heard it an starting talking isht. He got here heard mine and didn't even wanna put his in. After that he started asking hella questions about what other brands there is. That's just another example of how closed minded people are til they are enlightened. Sorry for the long rant.
