Power handling cannot be used to show which speaker is "better" than another nor does it show which is louder or of higher quality. JL is not the best out there nor is there any real "best" brand or company out there. There is only best for your application.

Also, you're looking at peak power which is a pretty irrelevant spec as RMS is much more important.

Even though I assume this is spam and you're just looking for people to come in here and flame and make fun of you, I'm going to give a real answer. Have fun.

you're comparing an 8ohm sub to those?? find a different jl if you wanna go that route. 8ohm is best used for multi-sub setups, or home audio.
