[QUOTE="Junkyard81, post: 599323, member: 557730"] I will be getting a new JL 12W3v2 sub, mostly for the fact that I am familiar with JL subs. I have been reading quite a few forums over the past couple days and it seems that many people say that JL's are a bit overpriced, and you can get a comparable sub for much cheaper. My biggest concern is, how do you know which sub brand (i.e., Kenwood, Infinity, Kicker, etc.) is going to give a comparable, deep bass, that is equivalent? Obviously not all brands with similiar data sheets will give the same sound, so what is it that tells you this? Is it merely a matter of experience with different brands? If it is experience, then I fall short on that b/c I have not heard anything beyond Sony, MTX, JL, and Kicker subs. You can not go into a car audio shop to get a feel, because they sound different in cars... I'd really appreciate any light on this subject, so that next time I perhaps do not need to spend as much money to get equivalent quality. Any specific brands/models would be appreciated.....thanks you all. [/QUOTE]
