The Speakers in the Door...

 

[tinman22]

I dont know about door speakers. I have never used JLs and only heard a set maybe 13 years ago. I do like the sound of kenwood, alpine and eclipse for door stuff. and ofcourse focals which i'm running now. but focals are high end I think mine cost 1200 to 1500 a set new. I managed to find 2 sets that fell off a truck so to speak for 800 a set

Is there any quality difference between the Rockfords and the JL Audios?

I have owned a car audio store since 91. I have sold Kicker,Mempis.and Rockford. I loved the sound of the old (pre2000 ) Kickers.Memphis has excellent quality,but in my opinion they are a little pricey for what you get. My preference is Rockford. Go to an independent dealer,and let them sell you whatever brand they sell.The differences between brands, at a given price point, are pretty slim.

I used to run JL's, but I got sick of the foam surrounds coming apart and the rest of the sub still being fine. Plus they were pretty $$ for them to still have foam surrounds.

When the last pair went, I bought some Image Dynamics and I was really impressed. For much cheaper than JL I had subs that sounded better and would hit lower. Now I would just keep using Image Dynamics. They focus strictly on speakers. They don't try to do a little of everything.

I will second Image Dynamics and Memphis. I have been in car stereo for almost 12 years and both of them have never let me down. I still have the original Memphis amps from when they were Fultron and they still pump. I have only had one of their amps crap out on me and I sent it back...in two weeks I had it back with a brand new board in it and it was two times stronger than before. Both companies have great customer service and products.

OK, i got my 2 ten inch eclipse subs hooked up through my 2000 watt hifonics by using a PAC converter and tapping into the rear speakers. It isnnt as clean as i want it, has distortion and nothing compared to my friends exact setup with a headunit instead. Any one use this kind of hook up? or did anyone tap into the factory amp or speakers wires be4 the amp?

 

[Xero]

They probably aren't the best in the business but I've had great luck with Kicker stuff.

I'm currently running 2 Kicker 10's in a subthump downfire box, being pushed by a Rockford Fosgate amp. I'm by no means a car audio expert, but these subs do the job.
I'll post pics ASAP.

 

[LMMGUY]

[LMMGUY]

[tinman22]

[LMMGUY]

[tinman22]

[durallymax]
