remember....you get what you pay for. in highschool or not, spend your money wisely. im still in highschool too, so i know what you mean.
l7's are great subs, some people hate them some people love them.
im indifferent, i love the way they sound but i personally wouldnt get any. i dont think they are worth the money. for that price, i would buy them, sell them and make some profit and get something better.
and as far as jl, im the exact same way, i love how they sound but i personally dont believe they are worth the money.
**and im with splduck about those e8's...those are some little beastly 8's and they sound amazing.
