wow they still make the w0's...... last time i kept up on car audio jl had just released the w3v3. so however long thats been...

yeah i used to have a 10" L7 in an s-10 x-cab. loudest single 10" i have ever heard, and sounded good too. man i actually miss that set-up :*(

the 10 looks promising, was hoping for something even less power consumption. thinking of going to 1 4ch amp that will do the highs on 1 + 2 and sub on 3/4 bridged. so probably 100-150 rms to work well with the highs also(amp wise). something kinda like what the w0's were....

been out of the loop for about 3-4 years now and dont know whos making what anymore. not looking for anything crazy just something to fill in the low end for the hour long drive everyday. small box, low power, >$100 music- little of a lot. country and rock mostly. a little top 40, hip hop, talk radio.... going in a civic trunk. got an alpine headunit 9855 i think, the one with the "glide" bar at the bottom.? jl 6.5" in the doors with an alpine 2 channel amp. not to brand loyal, but i dont want junk. again nothing fancy just wanna fill out the music. i think a single 10" or 8" will work. so question is whats a "good deal" now a days? - rob

so here is a short story why i might be the luckiest guy i know. things @ work have been crazy, lots of long hours lately. with the holiday weekend i wanted some time to relax so i only worked a half day yesterday. i get home and am getting out of the car when my finace' pulls up and tells me she has a suprise for me in the trunk. she says i know you have been working hard lately and i thought i would treat you to a little something for it. i open the trunk and there sits 4- 10" Jl W0's, she had just come from the local shop. she then tells me she got all 4 for $100, out the door.... so i guess my search is over. now its time to start building. i hope to get some pics up in the next day or so......

anyone else have any thoughts?

i always liked jl in the past just didnt know if the quality is worth the price tag anymore.

i know my local shops carry jl, kicker, boston, rf, diamond, alpine, memphis...... are any of these still worth a look or are you just "paying for the name" reason being as i am thinking of buying from brick and mortar as we have been having some delivery issues at the new house....

been out of the car audio loop for a while because i have been working on the new house. with some spair time and cash coming up soon i wanted to do a little work on the car. i have been able to piece together everything but the subs from stuff lying around. its all going in my beater back and fourth to work car so i am not looking to go all out. its a 97 civic 4 door that runs better than it looks. anyways...... looking for something thats pretty well rounded musically ( country, rock, hip-hop, jazz, talk radio ect... i listen to almost all of it) more than likely sealed and up to 3 cuft. i have one of the v-power alpine amps thats 300 @ 4ohm, 500 @ 2 ohm to work with. pretty open to suggestions as i have no idea about who's making what anymore..... and i care more about how good it sounds, than how loud it gets. can you guys help me out?

What are you looking for, components or coaxial, and whats your budget? And will you be amping these speakers? comps, $200 or less, yes either an alpine mrp-f300 or f450

oh, alright i got you now..... any recomondations on decent equipment to use? like i said before i have been out of the caraudio loop for a while now and have no idea who is putting out quality stuff. i wanna do this right the first time.

yeah the glide touch can be a pita @ times. what do you mean by a simple 2-way active setup. pardon my ignorance its been some time since a have done anything to a car.....

the jl coax that are in it now are junk. the surround on one is torn about 1/3 of the way around it and the other side sounds blown. all it does is pop and crack.... or else i would try and work with what i have. i did see @ an online site cdt has the cl-s60a comps on sale for 99.99 good price? worth it? they also have the upgraded tw-24 tweet with it for a few dollars more......

bump was hoping get stuff ordered asap. have the next week off and wanna get the ball rolling on this. any input? off the shelf, dyi i am in the dark here guys and need some help.....please

was going to get some second skin and just go right over the top of it.........good or bad idea?
