Prior to this sub I was running an Rockford Fosgate Punch 1, 12 inch sub in a ported box. It was alright but I found the bass "muddy" and did not suit all kinds of music. A friend who is a diehard JL fan suggested this particular model. Luckily I was able to return the RF sub and bought this from Sonic and received it in 3 days - outstanding customer service and very efficient deliver (free too!). Let's just say once I hooked it up and listened to the first track (Snoop Dogg: What's My Name) I knew I had found the sound I was looking for. Outstanding clarity in highs/low end. Only had the gain on the RF T-500 amp at one third and it was thumping my Xterrra at mid level on the atenuator sub!
The unit itself is built beautifully, solid and compact enough to fit in most vehicles. Having it wedge shape makes it convenient to place right up to the back seats of the SUV. I have it tied down with small straps and ratchet to keep it from moving around. I am so impressed with JL Audio, that I'm saving up to replace my front speakers with JL compnents! You know that saying: "you get what you pay for", well, in this case you do, and then some! Thanks Sonic for all your help and offering such a great deal on car audio!
