I state my honest opinion and you call me retarded eh? Everyone has their own preference, so sue me. I've been out of the circuit for a while and don't even know what the hell EDs are. They don't sell the real high high line stuff around here in the most western corner of KY. JL, Kicker, and maybe Orion are about the best that the local dealers carry that I know of. So if these EDs that I keep hearing about are so great, why are they so cheap and where can I get my freaking hands on some?

 

I am not really talkin about subs or even speakers in general. They are a consumable product in car audio that WILL wear out no matter what you do to it. I am willing to bet that nobody else here has subs that they are currenly playing that are over 15yrs old except me but I honestly feel lucky to get this out of these speakers and expect the surround to rot off any day.

I am really talking more about amps then speakers. Subs like W7s are just not made for nor played by people that want to have a resonable sounding longterm system. Being in the bay you get your hands on alot of stuff and see what lasts and what does not. Old pg, rf, alpine(I am talking 10+yrs old) still comes in looking like it was dragged down the block behind the car still powers up and works fine.

I have not said a single bad thing about ED, I just said come and see me after 10 yrs after you bought your ED and I bought my JL and see who has the more valuable product?

 

why compare ur jl just to ed?? i know of a few people still running hx2's (over 5yo).know quite a few still running armageddons and i know there over 5yo. But like uve stated older is better always. As far as amps i know ur talking older ones but for 1000 watts of jl power for 500-1000$ it fing better last 10years cause that would be its only real selling point. But i will admit 15years is one hell of a life span for a speaker of any caliber.
