I have (not running them anymore) but i have 2 JL w3v3 12"s. They are 600watts RMS. And they sounded pretty good in my jeep. not gonna lie. I paid like 180 each. Now I recently bought a DC 12" lvl 3 and it, in its box, sounds louder in my new car and pushes more air than both, for about the same price and RMS power handling as 1 JL. I still like them I just like my DC stuff better. :)

well guys all i can tell you is that i was up in Miami last week and i i gone over to JL AUDIO for a tour and all i can say is WOW these guys are so into their products it's no joke the time and everything they put into it is unbelievable. I now know why their products cost so much and the sound you get out them is sick i have A HD600/4 and a HD1200/1 and a 13W7AE in a ported box tune with SMD DD-1 , fronts are JL AUDIO ZR650 and rear is JL AUDIO 650X and all i can say is sick but not for SPL but can get loud and clean but cost is alot but sounds is sick thanks

i started out w a little JL 8 inch W3v2D4 and an E150...so JL will always have that "little place in my heart" but in all honesty their price is just WAYYY to damn high. you could get a 5k DC amp for the price of a JL 10001 and a couple subs for the price of a Dub 7...great SQ out of the W7s other than that i dont really care for JL. too damn priey

Its high as hell true. You really can't JL Audio to all these SPL brands listed in this thread. I mean really. SQ is not meant to get loud and put up numbers. SQ products are also very pricey. So lets compare apples to apples. JL may still be too high for SQ guys that can get more bang for the buck. SQ will never be as cheap or as loud as SPL dollar for dollar.

You guys really think that cost too much?

You should have bought equipment 20 years ago when they all charged that much for everything you bought, but it was all made in america with companies that stood behind the products they made. We didn't mind spending what we spent at that time for it cause we knew we were getting some kickass gear.

so are you saying anything other than JL is crap because it wasn't made in america?

is it wrong to get the cheaper item if it does the task just as well? Or if the difference is negligible compared to the price difference?

i'm sorry, i disagree with some of the points you've made, sir. if you care to debate this further, feel free.

Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

More box builds

some cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches!

I'm with captain stupid.

For those choosing to not buy from online stores then jl audio and others are in line on price on some of the gear they sell but i will agree on the upper end of things where the cost just sky rockets. They do make some damn good amps that quite a few use in sq builds with success. My point was that jl's price per watt really hasn't changed much over the years where other companies have dropped the price of the gear they sell. I have used them along with many many other companies over the years and have been quite happy with what i purchased, they managed to get some patents on some designs and can charge what they want to for it. That is one point many people tend to overlook.
