jl audio or rockford fosgate

[thumpin_cavilier]

i am wondering what you all think about 2 of the highest quality brands of car audio out there. please tell me what you think.

From my experience (which is quite limited) i say you mix and match. Use JL 10W7 subs and a Fosgate amp. I used to have JL 10W6s and they were incredible, and I have a Fosgate amp now and it puts out great power. I love them both.

However, I do like them both very much but they are not the best out there.

i have 2 jl audio w7's and 2 rockford fosgate bd1000 amps this performs incrediably you should spend the 4 grand and get them but you also will have to look into power caps. maby a seperate yellow top battery and a new alternator. this draws alot of power i am glad i got the high quality. i worked my ass of for it but it was way worth it

If I had the 4k to spend believe me I would, but I am a broke ass college student. Anyway for now I am fine with my shit. I wish I had the W7's but I am poor right now.
Anyways are your W7s 10s, 12s, 15s????

[thumpin_cavilier]

my w7's are the 13.5's i am really proud of them by the way i spent my whole summer working 21 hour days landscaping to buy this shit. i would say i go to extreams for car audio but i dont think it is very smart of me.

What kind of car are they in?
And what kind of box are they in?
What head unit do you have?

A friend of mine just got a 12 W3 (he drives a rice rocket) and it still sounds pretty damn nice.

Also I went to school this summer, so I didn't make any money. Damn being poor. I wish I could have worked all summer so I could have either a new car, or some W7's

i have the alpine cda-7897 head unit which i am really proud of and i spent big bucks on it. it is in a chevy cavilier now i am workin on plans for my z71 for a custom box. in the cavilier they are in the box they came with from pacific sound. i am not positive on the cubic foot they are. i feel sorry for you but at least you got a system and i hope someday you will get to enjoy some w7's

I love those FantomFace XL alpines
You have one hell of a system

i feel sorry for you but at least you got a system and i hope someday you will get to enjoy some w7's

Yeah well in 4 months i am getting a new car, hopefully a wrx or a stang or a camaro, then I wont mind spending all of my money on my car.

[thumpin_cavilier]

i would for shure recomend the camaro z28 with the 6 speed manual tranny and the 350 small block engine(lt-1) that fucker flys. you can put one hell of a system in that thing.

i love my phantom face. it was 600 bucks i have so much invested i have one hell of an alarm. sensors all ova. i worked for it and my mommie and daddy didnt give it to me so i am proud of it.

here is a pic of my dream car
hall ass
mine would be way slower cause of all the car audio weight

Since you seem to be a Camaro fan have you seen the ZL1 Camaro
It is a limited production bad ass car here is a link to it. Check it out dude.

[thumpin_cavilier]

god damn that is great. i think i got a wood. hahaha you have some good taste in cars and audio. you should save up for them jls and rockfords it will run you about 10,000 with all the alarms and accessories
expensive but worth it
i am gonna be livin in my car

[GSteg]

not sure if there is any "best" brand, but i would pick JL over rockford.

dude you don't have to spend 4k to get good sound, my entire system cost around 1300 and it wipes the floor with every other system I've heard in SQ and SPL. I have a single 12 that dwarfs my friend's 2 12" jl w3's. I have a Pioneer Premier 750 headunit, Kappa components up front, Kappa coax in back, US Acoustics 85x4 amp, eDesigns 12A, and Avionixx 800.2. It doesn't suck much power, didn't cost too much, and it sounds downright amazing. 2 w7's is overkill, you'll never be able to listen to their true potential while still in your car so what's the point? The single 12 I have now hurts my ears when I turn it up all the way and it still sounds perfectly clear.
