Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

well... my budget is 1000-1500 it looks like i can get a higher quality sub depending on the amp i get and the speakers.... i dunno

Find a JL Dealer in your town and ask em to show you their subs, find an Alpine dealer get em to show their Type Rs etc etc. Just ask em they should be more than willing to help you unless they dont like selling their merchandise.

I have went to hifi buys a LONG time ago... and saw their jl subs man all i can remember is i sat inside the store manager's car and he had 2 12'' w7's and i was amazing... But this was a LONG time ago when i first got into car audio...


So jl's and alpine mid brand??? Anything else i should check... the only place i can think tht is near by shope they sell mempis,mtx,sony,kicker,rockford fosgate, and pioneer... Thats all i know of around here i looked in the phone book i havent gotten out in awhile so... ima gunna look on the net for some dealers around here... Anybody know a good site to go to???

Well JL is not a "mid-brand" They have top of the line products, that come with a top of the line price. There lower lines are nothing to special, but when you get up into the w6v2, they are top notch performers. As for alpine you can stick some of there products into mid-brand and some into GREAT products. F-1 lines, type X's. Dunno all about that, but I know someone can chime in with alpine experience.

Oh i know Jl is one of the top of the line companys... thats not what i ment... I mean like jl audios mid brand stuff as in not the w7 the lower models the mid models... Yea sry about the confusion

got-cha, If you were lookin into their mid line stuff, I would stray away, and look into something diff. You can get better for the price. But for the w6 and up, they are worth every penny. Memphis has some good products too. You can look into them. Stay with the more top of the line tho, the rest you mentioned are mainstream. But are solid performers, so you should be happy with them. And most mainstream stuff has a great warranty behind it. So you wouldn't have to worry about a wait if something goes wrong with your subs.

ok you guys im sry for brining this old thread up i just havent been on for a week... so from what i see you guys told me to check out alpine,memphis,pioneer,kicker and rf... anything else that would be woth while to look at??? Something that has a dealer around here... There is a dimond auio dealer not to far around are they overly piced and in my price range for subs?

diamond audio is very reputable and they have some really great sq oriented subs. esp the d912. they don't take too much power and can get loud and sound really good.

The biggest thing is to look around for used equipment, get the good stuff as cheap as possible, ppl sell stuff for real low prices sometimes!

Well i was looking at used equipment.... Mostly at a reputal pawnshop i go to... Its just i dont want it to go out in like a week...
