I tried man...I tried. I saw the post...wasn't gonna say anything, but I just couldn't let the Audiobahn talk continue.
As for JL Audio...I ain't a big fan of them either, especially for the price. Everyone has 'em, but I really don't think they're that great.
You know those stickers that have Calvin pissin' on Ford or Chevy...I was gonna have one pissin' on JL Audio...that's pretty much what I think of them.
Focal and DA are good.
You should also check out Image Dynamics (very nice), my Eclipse of course, Memphis, Resonant Engineering, OZ Audio, Adire Audio...just to name a few.
All of these make some pretty good subs.
