bassl0va Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 well acording to the "pro" (shop owner) near me better off buying higer end amp that put out same power at 2ohm then the cheaper at 1..aparently 2ohms sounds nicer then 1..but idunno bass to me all sounds the same the l7 sounds just as good as w7 to me LOL hope didnt offend any jl fans Although there may be some truth to what he is saying, if you can't hear the difference yourself then don't bother. And don't let him con you into buying more than you want. Oh, and you will be hard pressed to find some JL fans on here, they all mysteriously disappear after they mention JL and install in the same sentence.

I like JL, I have full JL install in my evo X and love it. They do great and I can count on the output of the amps and not see any voltage drop. There is other companies I could have went with but it was my choice, they make great products just a little high on price but it is only money right?

neuspeedescort Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 oh JL here we go! seriously. i hated JL for years due to the vendors that locally sold them priced them like boob jobs. i came up on a JL w6 10 in trade a few years back and honestly its one of the best subs i have owned. an i have owned a lot and install even more. but back to the point here. don't let some shop sell you more then you want/need. but at the same time you can get stuff cheaper that is better but some people think sucks. IE JBL & infinity. look at the sensitivity ratings on those. some of if not the highest in the industry. there is a reason they carry a low rms rating and a high peak. its like DD. to many idiots out there turning their amps up all the to 5 o'clock and clipping the hell out of there stuff. send them a clean signal and they handle a ton rms!

ChampN252 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 the technology they use should put them a notch above most. I mean their amps make constant power across a broad range of ohms at broad voltages. If anybody has anything bad to say about their subs, they've never heard them before. Their shit is high, but very high in quality. 2012 Honda Accord Radio: Pioneer AVH-4200NEX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ18 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 All that you just said they have a word for, it is called over excursion....LOL thats 2 words! yeah, i wasn't bashing JL. But there are so many people here who do. Yeah, if you have the money and like the product/brand, then why not buy it. If you buy JL from a dealer you WILL over pay for it, but if you get a chance to buy it used and in good condition you wont regret it. JL is a very very good SQ sub. If you are trying to do a build based on SPL then JL isnt the product for you for the price. Now on to the Ohm topic. I honestly dont think you can hear the difference if there is any between ohm loads. i would decide how much power you want to run first and then buy your amp based on that. Then buy your subs based on the most power your amp will put out at the lowest ohm load. ex: if your amp is 1 ohm stable you could run 1 dual 2 or 2 dual 1s.
