[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8618501, member: 614752"] Yes. JL makes fine quality equipment much of which is made in the USA. Be aware you're paying for JL's name, American manufacturing, plus a markup for the store. That said you're buying good quality, re-sale value, and supporting a business that will (or should) take care of you. If you buy whatever else on Amazon and bring it to them, even if they will install (many shops won't) what happens if something fails? Will the remove and replace it? If they don't know the brand or didn't sell it, possibly not.... I wouldn't. Don't let the DIY purists scare you away or tell you about "savings". There is value in going to a professional shop and buying from brick and mortar store... assuming it's a good and reputable shop. I would suggest you forget about the back doors and just go for some higher end components up front and if you want time alignment and EQ flexibility best IMO is to buy a solid head unit with that built in. I can't vouch for outboard processing since I haven't personally seen any in person in ages (everyone who wants snobophile sound uses Pioneer DEX-P90RS or similar these days). I don't know where this guy is in NY but you may reach out to him as well. This work looks spectacular.: [URL="http:////forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/635333-2006-lexus-rx330-build-log-first-build-new-location.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/635333-2006-lexus-rx330-build-log-first-build-new-location.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
