Papaslim Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 How does skar compare to JL Audio? I'm speaking in terms of SQ and actual quality. I have some guys at a local shop that swear by JL, but i honestly think that they are ridiculously overpriced compared to Skar and many over non-mainstream brands. Getting loud is only half the job;sounding good while doing it is where the glory is.1998 Jeep CherokeeHead Unit: Pioneer AVH-P6300BTFront Stage: Kenwood 6.5Rear Stage: kenwood 6.5Tweeters: SoundstreamMids/Highs amp: Hifonics Zeus 600.4Sub Amp: Hifonics BRZ2400Subs: 4 Skar VVX 10s(only running 2 now; still has all of them though)Batteries: Optima Red Top(under the hood)XS Power D1200(in the trunk)0 AWG Power Wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papaslim Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 No comparison or vs threads. It's personal preference I don't want a "vs" thread. I'm asking is the JLs worth the extra price when I can get Skar subs much cheaper.

TheNewbie Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Don't have any experience with them, otherwise i'd tell you. JL's overpriced imo anyways. Wouldn't get them even if they were better. 1 Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

LoudBimmer Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 JL makes high quality stuff, but it also comes with a "Lamborghini" price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
