[QUOTE="req, post: 1781176, member: 555713"] you still arent listening to what im saying. A. its not about the name thats stamped on it. its about little fanboys thinking they know everything about car audio because they use JL. i feel there is more in this world then the biggest brand name. and i feel that i can get better performance for my dollar elsewhere. so i choose not to use JL and to find equipment that will perform just as good and cost what i believe is a worthy price. B. read - it is an [B]EXTREMLY MINIMAL CHANGE[/B]. sure, they chose it for a reason. but i believe the biggest part of that reason is to be different and unique so people will feel its a bigger change than it really is. why do you think companies can have two different coil configurations on the same brand of speaker, ie: dual 4 ohm type r, and dual 2 ohm type r, OH NOES - it changed the paramaters! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif[/IMG] i honestly can not believe its enough to change that much of an audible\mechanical difference. its what? a few less winds on the coil? i bet that 3" coil is heavy as hell anyway. C. sure [B]DEALER COST[/B] is reasonable. i would pay $400 at most for a w7. thats what they are worth in my oppinion. maybe 500. they have been selling the same speaker for so long with the same price point. maybe if they actually did some more *ucking R+D and made the W7 better than it is now, it could justify their research. but to me, it looks like JL isnt doing much of anything. so what R+D may i ask i am sill paying for? [B]but i agree, dealers charge an arm and a leg because JL is the hyped "best available" - its good, i do not deny that, but it is far from the end-all-be-all.[/B] D. okay, ill agree with you there. that **** ring does increas cone area and performance. but how much for the hassle of the ring. i do not deny it looks sweet. i do not deny it was a cool idea. but for me, its more of a pain in the *** than anything else. again, these are just my oppinions. i agree with everyone that they are good quality speakers and amps from JL. but there are a few things that bother me, and those are my oppinions. i would rather go with other equipment that in my mind is better justified for the money.
