CRX, I just found a digital design installer/seller here in my area and went to his shop to see the big deal with the dd's and he happened to be a jl dealer too, and had 8w7's in his employees vehicle which I got to listen to and they were unbelievablly loud....I told him what you claimed "dd's being better over the jl's" and he gave me this odd look and said no way, he said dd's are good subs, but do NOT compare to the jl's---AND!!! he said BRAND NEW DD 1008's are $105 each NOT $150---
