[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8618639, member: 614752"] It's almost like doing actual R&D, owning a large manufacturing facility in the first world, and paying employees average 44K a year instead of a couple bowls of rice a day costs money. And again, you've never auditioned their equipment. Still can't see the value there? Really? Sounds like sour grapes to me. [URL="http://www.sun-sentinel.com/business/careers/fl-audio-manufacturer-expansion-20150820-story.html"]JL Audio brings manufacturing back from China - Sun Sentinel[/URL] Mostly when people here recommend against JL is when the poster is trying to DIY (where they have other equally or more expensive options) or when the guy who wants to "beat down the block" is asking if the W3 is a good choice. Meanwhile Sundown 600.1 amp has MSRP of 350$ which is mighty close to what you can own a 500/1 for and I'd take the 500/1 every day of the week out of the two. Not everybody shops at the flea market for audio because many of us aren't happy with flea market sound, reliability, and resale value. There's a guy up here that was doing 151 and change with two of those 12W7s on two 1200/1 amps and his car sounds great (JL components and amps all around). Buy the W7 and amp and it'll outperform whatever you have going now be every measure and still be worth what you paid for it in 5 years assuming you don't break it through abuse. [/QUOTE]
