Hella haters on going to come into this thread.

mendon99 08-21-2007 03:39 PM

choice 2 will pwn in this forum. Theres so many other brands Id rather have for the money........

AscendantMax 08-21-2007 03:56 PM

this thread is going to get locked...i can already see it...

there's nothing wrong with JL. they're just good at marketing and such, and people simply follows what seems good to them. are they sh*tty? by all means no. they're not bad, if the price was more reasonable.

the performance/price ratio on JL products isn't too appealing IMO, plus the customer service isn't really up to par.

nismos14 08-21-2007 04:03 PM

Never .

slickrick 08-21-2007 04:54 PM

I'm done wasting my time with JL audio...1st and last post in this thread. :)

D-Bo 08-21-2007 05:55 PM

Invalid poll, you need to have an option for "I've bought them before and will not buy them again" as that would best describe me.

It should have been locked or never started, it serves absolutely no purpose. Although if I locked or closed it Id be the bad guy covering something up. So .... lets see where it goes.

adampit 08-21-2007 07:25 PM

everyone on this forum hates JL, dont even bother with this poll

Pearl96Max 08-21-2007 07:46 PM

Who is everyone? 7 - 9 seems close to equal to me..

DcMaN 08-21-2007 07:49 PM

Pearl96Max 08-21-2007 07:52 PM

Pearl96Max 08-21-2007 08:34 PM

AscendantMax 08-21-2007 10:32 PM

:rofl:

nismos14 08-22-2007 05:14 AM

sterlingmaxima 08-22-2007 06:08 AM

I have been in dcmans car that **** is loud when he turns it up the front windshield starts vibrating.

nismos14 08-22-2007 06:36 AM

How many DEEBEEZ y0.

Just FYI, I made my front windshield vibrate with 8's in my rear deck, so thats not really a great gauge.

I've been in don's car with flatlines and idmax's.....now THAT HURTS.
I HAD the "king of all subs" JL 12w7 before feeding it the proper wattage. For that price....there are MUCH better subs. :ben:

JPIZZLE 08-22-2007 07:05 AM

DOn you are in Jersey right? I will do a sound off with you all day long! We can go for SQ not DB since my car is not designed for that ! But I am game!

Pearl96Max 08-22-2007 07:05 AM

We can invest some money here too?

JPIZZLE 08-22-2007 07:09 AM

Money not a problem to me at all!
Not one bit, you wanna say a grand or so !

Pearl96Max 08-22-2007 07:12 AM

Not a problem with me, but who's judging?

JPIZZLE 08-22-2007 07:13 AM

Pick a number!
I am game I say, do you want to do it at a nuetral spot in PA,
We have a Few RTA up there!

Pearl96Max 08-22-2007 07:14 AM

Id prefer Jersey and I already have an RTA. ;)

JPIZZLE 08-22-2007 07:22 AM

why should I go to your shop and use your RTA! Why dont we just go to a nuetral spot and everything will be fair that way! you let me know. I have a few judges from some of the IASCA comps imeet in Carisle. I also have a shop in Concord Pike we can get at ! Or we can do it in the hood in Camden!

burnurass 08-22-2007 07:30 AM

A neutral spot is fine - Johnson park in NJ.

Whats the problem with my RTA? Its sanctioned and calibrated.

JPIZZLE 08-22-2007 07:58 AM

Okay let me get cracking with my installers and we will set a date in the next few days! Any Duckets?

Pearl96Max 08-22-2007 08:43 AM

Get crackin with installers? I dont follow, your not R2R now?

filtor1 08-22-2007 08:54 AM

Wow, this thread just got interesting. :)

So are you both going to RTA w/o subs?

DcMaN 08-22-2007 08:59 AM

I'd go Don, but i dont want to embarass you... haha jk :)

JPIZZLE 08-22-2007 09:04 AM

I have two installers I deal with on Retainer, drop the car off tell them what I want and they get it done. Its really a barter system no cahs money exchanged you know! I know you know how to barter! I am actually waiting for my dyns to come in ! I currently have the older 182's! Then i have to fix the factory deck from the CD skipping! Unless I put my old Nakimichi head in but I will lose the NAV! So we will see, I am going to let them know what you got and they will let me know what i need to come close with you!

Whitebread 08-22-2007 09:30 AM

JL makes good products but they are far too expensive for what you get. There are many small engineering companies and build houses that make great products for much less money.

OH so your gonna have your setup re-done to compete with Don's? So I guess all is fair if we have a meet up and don's ad re-do his to tear yours apart?

:wtf:

Thats not exactly fighting fair, so Im open to change anything and everything I want to as well now? Although I really dont find the need.

Older 182s = 180s.

OEM HU? What processing?

Wouldnt the point be to exceed me, not come close?

And ... FYI ... you can use an aftermarket deck with OEM Nav, your installers should know this.. So if you wanna throw that Nak in feel free. If you want to have more fun I can swap HUs as well .. Nak CD700,Denon DCT-1,Clarion DRZ or keep my F1 in..
