Jl Audio Speakers

I listen to rock more than anything else, so I want a speaker that will be loud.

Also where do they put an amp if you get speakers that can take a lot of watts?

ROCKFORD CAN HANDLE A LOT OF BASS. PUT THE AMP IN THE TRUNK. JL SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD TOO. IT COMES DOWN TO BUDGET.HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO SPARE?

2000 Honda Accord SE Pioneer Premeir DEH-P600UB (Head Unit) JL Audio TR 6.5 Component Speakers (Front) JL Audio TR 6x9 Coaxial Speakers (Back) 1 ...

After changing out the factory speakers in my car to high end JL Audio speakers. It seem to sound more distorted at higher volumes. Is it cause I need a Amplifier? (The factory 6x9 speakers was 4 ohm at 15Watts, my JL Audio 6x9 replacements are 4 ohm @ 60 watts) Do I need more power (Amplifier) to get better sound?

Just distorting from the factory head unit. A nice low powered amp will clean it up nicely.

RMS Power: 120 watts per pair / 60 watts each

Peak Power: 200 watts per pair / 100 watts each

Whenever I see someone with a banging system they are usually JLs. Why are they so powerful, the wattage specs on them are never very high and their subs always have a weird rating of 12W7 or something like that, what does that mean?

I guess my question is are they really worth it?

JL has been at the top for years. Reason being, years or research and development. JLs products have so many patents on them, so many unique features and technologies that they are undeniably one of the best, if not the best out there. The find ways to make all their equipment perform at its peak capabilites, for example: having the W7 subs nominal impedance at 3ohms, not 2, 4, 8, but 3, why: because that allowed for maximum performance in both SPL and SQ. Their amps are top notch. And just like Justin was implicating, JLs equipment is under rated, their amps give you more power than what's listed (you'll see on the certificate, that comes with the amp) especially at 14.4volts (when your vehicle is running), their specs on their subs drastically improve once the sub is broken in (better frequency response, better sensitivity, etc). And it's not always about have a ton of watts. Some of the best systems I've seen, installed and even owned haven't been ridiculous power hungry systems. I've seen 500-1000 watt rms systems from respectable companies outperform systems two or three times that size from cheaper companies. Now as far as the terminology of JL, i.e. your 12W7, that is a model number. 12 is the size of the sub, and W7 is the actual model. Check out JLs website www.jlaudio.com, they have tons of articles about their products and technologies and their support sections has even more info to help you out. In my opinion JL is definitely worth the money, if I had to pick my top five overall companies (subs/amps) it would be like so:

1) JL Audio
2) MTX
3) Hifonics
4) Soundstream
5) Kicker

Its a tough top 5 because there are several other companies that are scratching at the top.

If you have any questions feel free to email me, hope this helps.

Sensitivity: 90 dB
PEAK Power: 100-watts
5x7 inches Car audio 2-way speakers also mount in 6x8 inches (Pair)
RMS Power: 60-watts
Frequency response: 53 Hz - 22000 Hz

do they make JL audio speakers for cars or only subs and amp?

yes they make component speakers as well and they are top quality as well

I HAVE A 95' GMC EXTENDED CAB THAT I WANT TO THROW A NICE SYSTEM INTO. MY PLANS ARE TO HAVE THE REAR SEATS REMOVED AND HAVE A NICE CUSTOM BOX BUILT. MY QUESTION IS THE FOLLOWING, ARE THE JL AUDIO SPEAKERS AND AMPS WORTH THE PRICE THAT THEY COST?? A BUDDY OF MINE HAS A COUPLE OF 15" MTX 7500 SPEAKERS WITH A SONY XPLODE 2000 WATT AMP AND THAT SOUND VERY GOOD!! BUT I WANT TO OUT DO HIM ( BRAGGING RIGHTS). I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE JL AUDIO 12W7 WITH THE JL AUDIO 1000/1 AMP, AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY W7'S CAN THIS AMP HANDLE, OR IF IT CAN ONLY HANDLE 2 SHOULD I GO WITH THE 13W7. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME OUT, ARE THESE SPEAKERS THE WAY TO GO SO THAT I CAN HAVE THE LOUDER SYSTEM???

so you want to be louder then the guy and the best you can come up with is a w7? dont get me wrong, w7s are badass woofers, but there made to both sound good, and give good spl. it sounds like your just worried about spl. 2 w7s would indeed beat his mtxs. so if you want to go that route, then its logical, and you'll accomplish your goal.

however, if i were you, and really wanted to just blow his doors the hell off, i'd get a pair of these.

these are the spl world record holder. there cheaper then a w7, and they'll be a lot louder. the amp/amps is where its going to hurt. 6,000 watts rms combined. thats a lot. you'll need a bigger alt, and defiantly a bigger battery, and you'll need to upgrade the big 3. yeah thats all a lot, but i can almost promise you that you'll win about any SPL competition in your town.

good luck
