I have to give my 2 cents on this! I have been up there many times and they do bad mouth a lot of setups. They love JL subs and Alpine headunits. I've listened to some of there cars and was only impressed with one. They do very go work, but should not talk so bad about other peoples equipment. Those trophies mean nothing unless you are wanting them to install a competition system. I've been installing car audio for a long time and do not care to do it for a living. So it's funny as hell to me when they tell me that they can build a box better than me or that my amp is not putting out the right power. They also have told me that Focal access is not a good speaker and Kicker amps aren't that good. Notice how they don't mention when they lose, what the guys were running that they lost to.
They had a competition up there in their own parking lot a while back. All that stuff they love so much was loosing. It was a guy up there with 2 vehicles with Audiobahn and Visonik in both and those guys with their 13W7's and 1000/1's weren't even coming close on the meter. The Jl also lost to a Stroker, 2 12L7's in a hatchback, and some guy with 6 RF 12" HE 1 or 2's in a mini truck. They are pricey and JL is very over priced and yes I can afford JL. I got 4 12CVR's for $280 from a authorized dealer and they will destroy 1 12W6v2 that cost more money. So can you explain why people say you get what you pay for? I could have got they same subs from Circuit City for $600, but why get my wallet raped? I'm sure one of them will say I'm not telling the truth, but what do I have to gain by making this up? This is coming from someone that has ran RE audio, Ascendant, Kicker, Rockford, MTX, Mb Quart, Boston Acoustic, Phoenix Gold, Memphis and DD audio just to name a few.
