Why are people so loyal to JL...

people are loyal to jl because they have an excellent reputation, and there is a reason for that -- they make good stuff, and alot of people know that.

btw, don't even use the word "best" when referring to subwoofers, there is no such thing. 99% of the time, that word is what starts up an arguement. there are so many good subs out there its absolutely pointless to waste your breath trying to prove if x brand is the best or not.

 
JL is a great company. They make great products! Are they worth it? I personally don't think they are worth that retail price. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Would I use JL's? Hell Yeah! Only if someone gives me a hook up on some prices though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I would definitely stick with RE, Kicker, and DD from some major "bump" though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

BTW, "F" Funkmaster Flex! That ni**a thinks that JL is the ****! This fool has people thinking that a 10W7 is the best thing a person can get. LOL! Don't get me wrong, they are great subs as I said.

Bottom line, they aren't the best subs on the market and **** sure aren't worth it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
ive never heard a XXX, but i garauntee that if i had a 15" xxx in one car, and a 12"JL w6 in another car right beside the other car and played both of them infront of half the people at my school...almost all of them would say the w6 sounded better....b/c its JL.

 
They make Quality Subs. For good prices. RE is better. =). Why is RE Better. Cuz RE will pound the **** outta your ride. If you put it in it.
Every time I think that you can't get any dumber, you prove me wrong.

FWIW, I've yet to be impressed with a W7 install. Sure, they got loud as hell, but I've definitely heard better sounding bass.

 
I personally think JL is good. But my whole thing is that i am so annoyed about how all kids think hands down JL is the best....and they only know like 4 brand names. When i talked my friend into getting a 12" brahma over 2 W3' 10's i was psyched....i know people might say the 2 w3's would be better, but i dont think so

 
from what I have read the w7 is more sq and the w6 is more spl and sq I just sold my 2 12w6v2's. I hated JL for yrs, I thought there subs were crap. I had kept blowing them. Then when they came out with the w6's my little brother got them. I liked them but he likes his hearing and keeps everything low and babys it. Well I baby my stuff but will crank it up as well. I got 2 and there the best I ever had wish I never sold them, and I wouldnt of but new child. Kinda had to my mind was all messed up first new baby wanted to sell all my audio thought life was over etc, but now its been 2 months. Wish I would of waited I could of kept them, but was scared. But I havent yet heard a RE so I can say good/bad about them, But I know for 10 yrs now in car audio. I have been through alot of stuff, and those w6v2's were the best for me. But the set up was all right as well, not some 1 small amp no highs cheap h/u etc. was all good and my system was clean sounding. They are a high price sub, but well worth it I think, but I am gona try some RE soon.

 
But was the W7 really created to produce great sounding bass?
Um....yeah, that was it's entire goal and purpose, to be a super-SQ sub. They wanted a SQ sub that could also get loud and go balls out, and so they came up with the W7. But I personally don't care for it that much though. W6v2 sound much better IMO, just can't get as loud.

 
Einzee, I dont think its accurate to say those brands are "done" sure they have seen their more popular days, but by no means have they gone out of business.
What I meant was when I was in high school "Pyle" was the shit. Every student at the school wanted anything that said Pyle. That fad died and was replaced w/ Kicker. I'm not saying that those were inferior products at that time, it's just that the names became less spoken as new ones appeared. Example: I signed on to this forum and what are all of you talking about? RE, XXX, Brahma, etc.... Get my point? In a couple of years these names will become faint memories. Sure they may still be in production, but the name fades to make way for "?????" BTW, the last time I actually purchased a magazine (Car Audio & Electronics) MB Quart was the Shit!

 
Ok, the only reason i went with jl over anything was because my dad a 43 year old man who has 2 15w3s in the back of this truck. When i was like 6 he had 2 15s and 4 10s sirwin vegas. My mom tells me they use to blow my hair forward. Anyways what i am trying to say is. I took after my dad. He was a dolphins fan and sure enough i am now a dolphins fan. I didnt get this from anyone else or hear anything that made me want to get jl.... when i first started getting my stereo shit i didnt know much about anything i just knew what i needed and i was determined to get all jl for the reason i stated before. Then i start doing my research and i find alot of people have mixed feeling about jl... And this is what i have to say about that. If u cant afford them, or have no desire to spend your money that gives u no reason to bash them. I keep hearing they are over priced but really good speakers. If u dont want to spend the money someoneelse willl. Is why Jl is still in business.

 
JL is a good brand had them b4, but they are way overpriced, n most ppl that have em are cocky little *****....

had a kid at a gas station lookin in my truck, so i turned it up a bit...he looked at me n said his 3 12" JL W3's in a sealed enclosure with a JL e1800 are louder than my stereo.......

so i thought it was funny n told him how bout we go system for system, who ever is louder at volume 2 on a radioshack meter wins the other system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

yep cocky *** then began to studder n say his aint hooked up yet but its deffenetly louder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hilarious.gif.02a037aad04aa96f19982b298a3d70a8.gif

 
BUt dude you cant take that to heart.... kids these days think a civic can out run my turbo charged eclipse.... Give me a break. They and i for one just think what they own is always better .... kinda like when u were really young u would get in an arguement about whos dad could beat the others dad up .... its a stage you grow out of it... unlike my dad lol still working on it j/k ---- like given him a hard time
