If Nick approves the driver for production it will take 45-60 days for the first run to be made then 4-6 weeks from there for shipping, customs then shipping to the customer.

T/S Specs never tell the whole story. But it'll be def. better for the price, just like every other audio components out there when compared with JL

True, but I trust that Nick knows what he is doing with the design. He says it sounds better than the last gen Mag with more output sealed and the Mag v3 was already known to sound better than any JL sub.

Nick will not guarantee anything nor will I. That is a tentative timetable IF this is approved to go into full production, but it still is an if at this point, Nick has a lot more testing to do from what he says.

im not saying they arent or wont be better than the tw5. yea i just got my tw5s today finally.

to me even with the price of the JLs being 500+ it makes a lot of sense to pay the extra $ and have it in 2 weeks. they are already available the 12s will be out soon.

SI makes some great products but id be weary of nick finding flaws and pushing back even longer.

edit:

honestly tho i hope he approves so they can get out and compare them to the TW5

I would rather have him get everything 100% perfected and the way he wants it and see him push the date back than see him approve and release a driver that isn't 100% up to his standards.

And if hype occurs in the mean time, so be it.

Nick is the king of marketing his products online.

Yes, it is, lol.

i do NOT agree with this. i personally hated the sound of the last gen mag. i know i am in the sever minority, i just did NOT like it.

To each his own, I just now know not to listen to any of your reviews, lol. No offense, I just mean that you like a different sound than I do so what you like doesn't apply to me.
