i would agree with the quality of other brands that are discussed (RE,DD...). but living in northern michigan we're kinda limited on our selection. mostly nationally known brands. i just bought a new f350 that just had a system installed; i almost went with a couple of the RE SX12's but i've never heard them, just heard of them from this forum. so back to JL W7 i went. i wish we had a selection up here, i would like to try something new out.

 

Thats why god created the internet!!!! Ive had my local shop do one thing for me and that was meter me. (did not have a laptop at the time)

 

that's a $450 gamble to install something you've never heard.

 

lifes a gamblebut really it wouldnt of been a gamble if you research the product before you buy it! Really thats what sx's are going for now i member when they first came out you could get a xxx 15 for under 400$$. But re has lost its way there starting to fall just like rf and so on. Re had great products but have since changed there lineup to what they say are better drivers but many beg to diff plus they doubled the price over the past 6 months.

 

didn't they get bought out by someone or have something in their business tier change or something in the last year or two?

 

yep yep bad thing is they lost there top eng to all the bullcrap!! thats how fi came to be<<< just a matter of time before they go wild on prices. supply and demands a bitch

 

Any time a company goes mainstream they lose the most important thing that most american businesses lose. Relationship. That's why i love eD. They havea business to run and must abide by what it takes to have a business, but they try their hardest to maintain relationship with their customers. Makes me want to work there.
