JL goes to the web...

I knew it was only a matter of time before JL sold out. Give it another month or so then look for their products on Crutchfields site. No surprise to me...

Ummm negative. JLs warranty policy always sucked anyway. Even if you buy it over the counter from a dealer its 90 days. This is unless of course you pay them to install it to..

Yeah, Gregg and I are good buddies. He is actually in the market. Has been looking for g35 coupes, but I think he's leaning towards an STi at this point.

Truth be told if they didnt go the Crutchfield route that would be a very strong possiblity. Hence the reason why they did it. So you can roll your eyes Tim, but theyre not as strong as some would like to believe.

you can have the best equipment in the world, but it doesn't matter if the install/tuning was done improperly.

Wow, a Flatline failed? That sucks. I wonder what the failure rate is one them. I would assume relatively low.

Why is everyone mentioning whether they had problems or not? That has nothing to do with the topic at hand here..
