Why are people so loyal to JL...

LMAO

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif I never heard of pyle beeing the shit, thats always good for a good laugh.
then you haven't been around car audio long enough... there was a time when EVERYONE was trying to get jensen 6x9s in their cars. at one time those speakers were the shit. at one time, pyle drivers were THE woofer to own. if you didn't have a pyle driver, you weren't cool. and more recent times, i'm sure you guys remember the blue thunder series from MTX...

 
The W7 is a pretty amazing driver really. If you haven't, you should read up on it sometime. Quite a few new technologies in the thing. Im impressed with them, but I wouldn't pay for them, nor would I trade my XXX's for them. I wouldn't buy one, but I respect them for what they are.

 
I pieced together my first real system (over time) about 8 years ago during college. I decided to go with three 12W6s. That was before JL (and Orion) was all mainstream, I just really liked the way they sounded during the demo. I do agree they are on the expensive side, but if I come across a descent deal on Ebay for a 12W7 I'll be sure to swoop it up.

 
8 years ago i bought 2 JL 12's cause they were the best sounding/ most durable sub on the market. I lost intrest in car stereo about in about 98, and last month i started looking around again. I see thay JL is STILL one of the best out there where as many of the brands that were popular back then are either nt good, or out of business.

That may be a reason.

and to who ever said it, the W7 is some amazing technology.

 
I have type R's, but i would much rather have a single 12" brahma, 12" XXX or an 12" SI magnum...... I am a fan of the type R's, but the only reason i got them is cause of budget

 
People like JL because they make a great product. I don't understand why people bash JL so much. Sure, they're expensive, but you get what you pay for. There is more JL bashing then there is Pyle, Legacy, and Sony combined.
Only read page 1 but...

Ditto that. I've ran Adire, RE, Stereo Integrity, Incriminator, and other lesser known brands and I've also ran JL. JL makes some of the best, most solid products out there. Granted you may pay a little more, but you can just drive to your local dealer if something goes wrong instead of dealing with the hassle of shipping back to an internet company. You pay a little extra for that brick and mortar network but it can work to your advantage if you ever run into any problems. I've blown over five grand just to be able to test out tons of different equipment, and I've come to the conclusion that everyone's tastes are different. Sure, buying a product from a lesser known company is cool, but there is alot to be said for being able to hear something before you buy it, in subs but especially when you're dealing with front stage speakers.

JL started out small just like the little companies we love. What happens if RE and Adire blow up. Are you guys going to turn your back on them? If you stay loyal to these companies who put out quality products, what happens when the next kid comes along and says "Adire sucks, they are all hype and everyone runs that stuff," what then? You're going to stay loyal to your company because they've earned your trust with a good product at a fair price. Same thing with JL. They've proven themselves time and time again over the years. They blew up for a reason. They didn't blow up then sell out like Rockford did by building bling products that dont perform. They stuck by their guns and still build awesome products. Call up JL or email Manville Smith. Despite being a big company, I can call JL or email them and get a response back just as quick as I could with RE, Adire, ED, or any of the other net companies. Just remember that they weren't always the brand to have. They were much like our favorite companies are today. Started out small and they were the underdog to bigger companies like RF, and finally they started getting the credit they deserve. I say its about time to let them have the limelight for a while. They are one of the best audio companies out there, period.

 
kids in my area are same as well, they all assume JL is the best, top of the line. Well as soon as my REs come in im sure they will be pwnt.

I wouldn't really Bash JL, becuase i know they do make quality products that will last a long while as well.

 
My only gripe with JL is their prices. They are not 'a little more' expensive as someone put it. They are 'OMG I think I may faint' more expensive. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
So your a fan of type Rs, then why the hell cant people be a fan of JL Audio?
Because they are not the "current fad".

JL makes good, quality products.....but I don't think that they are so special and great that it justifies the prices they charge. But if someone else wants to spend their disposable income on their products, more power to them and I'm going to bash them (or the product) for it.

Some people dont have the resources to get RE, AA etc....who cares what kind of subs amps speakers hu's people have? There system, there money, let them spend it on what they want to spend it on. If it sounds good it sounds good and thats all that matters.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
