So where are all the JL peeps

I love JL owners with a pair of 12W3s on a 500/1 and think they are the loudest people on the planet. The look on their face when they hear a "no-name" sub thats a heck of a lot louder, is priceless.

usually goes down like this;

"so how much did you pay for your jl setup..... oh really? hahahahhahahah. sorry. i meant, cool man."

"well what do you have that is so funny compared to my jls'?!"

"oh nothing much. a few idq15's in a trunk infinite baffle with right around 20 volts to the pair of idq's. but thats guessing. i think i paid like 600 for the whole setup, why? and thats not counting my cd2 minihorns and seas rnx8's eaither."

"durrr."

That person is moron. I hope people don't think all JL owner's/fans are like that. I know JL is not made for SPL and I'd never prop them up as being such. They make great sounding products that also get a bit loud.
SPL is but one measure of audio performance, and one that other brands do better in than JL. Apples to oranges.

I totally agree. I by all means dont think JL is the greatest equipment available. For my taste on many things it has met what I wanted. I have currenty switched from Memphis M3s to the 12W7 bc I am looking for something that can get loud but sounds a lot smoother.

And ab the C5s they do sound amazing and I wish I could afford them at the moment, but I settle with Memphis PRs for the time being...

Thanks for all the input BringDaBoom, you have a very clean install and I should have pics posted soon of my new setup

x2...I remember when I had my TC-3000 and no one knew who TC was

I remember when I had a JL 10w1 and nobody knew who JL was...Still have that 10w1 16 years later BTW and it is still in pristine condition.

Well bringdaboom ... depends what you mean serious SPL lol. Honestly even for moderate spl I don't consider them even close to acceptable. But in all fairness they are a good SQ driver from what I have seen. And honestly due to so many really nice SQL drivers out there right now I would put it barely par as a SQL driver. Just now days there are prob 30 drivers I can think of off the top of my head that offer pretty decent to good sq that would slaughter JL for overall output within the same price or cheaper.. Now sq YES. And I have always heard good things about JL for SQ. But they should market it like that. If you go into almost any shop you will be told how the w7 is the loudest woofer made........

And REG....... where to begin. Well first off. 20 volts absolutely means NOTHING unless you know the imp so why would you brag about volts. You can get a 600 watt amp with no load to put out over 100volts..... Next why do you feel the need to make them feel bad. We all have been at the point where we got the bad end of a deal... and sooo cocky to them Why? what about somebody that is way louder than you with less would you expect them to be rude to you... You honestly sound like somebody that thinks they are so much better than the person in the example due to you have the "inside tip" to car audio... oh yeah that and 1,000,000 other people(you ain't that special). I ain't trying to be a jerk but man that post made you look bad

 

[vehementSPL 10+ year member]

Oh sorry keep thinking of stuff. I ain't saying I haven't had my fair share of showing off and I know sometimes real JERKS do need shown what is up. But for most people no matter how good they talk about their stuff(even if it is crap and you know it)......as long as they aren't being a jerk to others and putting other peoples systems down .....you should NEVER laugh at another persons system nor talk crap about it around them or people they know. People put a lot of WORK PRIDE AND TIME into them (even if they payed for it most had to work for that money, and if they didn't..they are still proud of their stuff) You can really crush somebody by doing this after all the pride they take in it . personally I want to spit in people's faces when they do this. My best friend never does THIS but he does do stuff like what you do and I just shake my head and try to educate him but he is bull headed.

If you go to a shop that actually knows their shit, they do market the JLs as SQ drivers. Always have. Problem that you run into is the idiot on the sales floor doesn't know jack about shit in a lot of shops. The installers are usually quite different. I may open a shop eventually, and if I do rest assured that the sales staff are going to be standouts for what they actually know about the products my shop is going to sell and car audio in general. Acting like a douche and misrepresenting any product (not just what we sell but ANY product) will be grounds for a pink slip.

not going to find a much better amp then the 300/2

as for jl used for serious SPL? there has been tone of people that already have been embarassed in the lanes. Iam not talking down but W7s are loud to the ear not to the mic.
