thats just mean homie...haha. JL is still the shit though. i still wouldnt buy anything else. not the jackhammer, orion hcca, DD, Diamond, kicker, fosgate, soundstream, hifonics, audiobahn, phoenix gold, cerwin vega, infinity, boston, jbl, pioneer, kenwood, sony, the list goes on...nothing else...granted, some of the other subs out there are awesome...i just love my JL

Dad had three. Two in the car and one spare. He still has the spare one, but it needs to be fixed.

theres a reason why JL has been around this long with the same design without change. and the subs themselves last. i even have a big ass hole in my w6 and it still bangs. JL is not overpriced. u gotta pay to play.

Sure ya gotta pay to play, but there's a point where it's just stupid. If you can spend 300 bucks every five years on a sub that'll sound about the same, or 1000 bucks every ten years on JL subs, which would be better?



And as any car audio site will tell you, INSTALL INSTALL INSTALL. The sub itself isn't as important as the install, and even a Sony Xplod can beat JL if the install is right.

Right now you are basing your decisions more on price than quality. Are there subs out there that can hit harder and or cleaner than a w7 sure maybe, but I have owned/heard most of the stuff out there, yet I still like the warm sounding/right on the note bass...W7. Ask yourself this, if the W7 is in the same exact price range of other subs on its same level, which would majority pick? I would say hands down to the W7 due to its Brand, craftmanship, and their customer service ( Very important when purchasing a product).

As for comparing a Sony subs to JL subs, you're just being nonsense right now...lol. Yes, I agree cheap subs can be made to sound nice in the right enclosure. Like most people say, its about 80% install and 20% equipment that makes a system. But installs have too many factors to compare. Right now we are comparing product for product, and so my friend, " A sony XPLOD will NEVER be on the same level as a W7."

NO... in the same situation a JL sub will never be out done by a Sony ...

please stop giving bad audio advice ...

Ive been dealing with JL products for about 15 years now and in my personal opinion they are a great line of products with a great company that stands behind it. I had the pleasure of touring the JL plant in miramar fl. when I was an installer for an authorized dealer, and the craftsmanship is just amazing... everything was hand built ... I know today the lower end subs (w0s i believe ) are made overseas but all there w3's and up are still hand built here in fl. You have to respect a company that can still mass produce a product with quality this day by hand still... With that I think for what your getting the price is exactly were it should be...

BTW i own 4 10w3v1 (2 installed in my car) and 2 10w3v2 that are going in the wifes car... today i have owned or listened to pretty much every JL sub produced in the last 15 years in many different enclosure's (from sealed, ported, band pass and even isobaric) as well as countless others from cheep LA sounds to high end Kicker, eclipse, hifonics, ppi and many more ...

The only subs out there right now that I would rather buy over a W7 if it comes to price, would be the Elemental Designs 13av. Its very similar to a w7 but is very affordable, plus great customer service.

On the other hand, there's RE XXX, Fi BL, DD, etc. but for their prices, I can get w7's for much much cheaper.

"Amen brother" but in my opinion, xplods arent even in the same class as the W7 line up....i would rather compare the xplods to the w0....maybe the w3 at best.

[sleepygreen]

funny thing about xplods is when i first started to buy ICE way bfor my CB i bought an xplod... shit came with a fucked VC already thats when i decided to never even think about sony subs.
