If you want subs, http://www.edesignaudio.com is your best bet.

JL is great stuff, but I think the price is all in the name.

Plus box and installation seems like you are getting a good deal to me.

Thanks...
Is elemental Design really that good?
Does it compete with Jl?

I just ordered my sub from them with the hidden box. I've heard nothing but great things about them and they have great customer service. I can't comment on the sound quality yet as it hasn't come in yet, but I have no worries about it.

Ty_Max

Wanna give me a reply when you hear it...
and can you give me the link to those two things you got so I can check them out

With JL your buying mostly a name. Don't get me wrong, JL is nice, but for alot cheaper you can get subs that are up to par. Hit a 139 db on a SEALED box with only 190w RMS on each sub.



Bought these componets from Audio-Warehouse.com and SavingLots.com

Check em' out

aight sounds good

^^ i disagree...with JL, you're not just buying the name...you're buying the quality! JL is known for their products to outlast most of the competition if not all(as long as it's not abused and broken in properly)

And to help with the answer to the original question...you would have to go to an audio shop in your area and check some prices out...the setup that i have, which is in the signature below, i got for about a grand with installation! Good stuff ain't cheap, and cheap stuff ain't good!

Hmmm so many people so many opinions O_o

Just get Diamond Audio and be done with it all.

One thing about JL...buy authorized or kiss any sort of warranty goodbye.

JaeSin

yea a system def. is not cheap...ive got all kicker...the L7's both amps and panel speakers with a tsunami amp kit, 1.5 farad, that with install ran almost 2g's....

food for thought....

What are these boxes for? I've never gotten into car audio at all. Do these boxes in the back mostly increase bass? volume? overall sound quality? How come high end Mercedes or Lexus or whatever cars never have equivalent type boxes? I'd assume they'd want quality sound too?

teamben158

The boxes house subwoofers, which fill the low end of your music (bass). Most higher end cars have them, they are just hidden though or have higher end speaker components that can handle lower frequencies better.
