JL or Memphis?
what do you prefer? a buddy thinks JL is the best out there, I prefer memphis, better quality. and I have heard a w7 and w3...the w7 was too much and the w3 would be about the only sub I would get from jl, but I still prefer memphis it just sounds clearer/deeper to me.just looking for some input
well i like the w7,but i do like alot of bass. Memphis on the other hand is a better speaker in my opinion

Memphis Audio cause my cousin is a MA audio authorized dealer in Florida
I just picked up a memphis 10" tonight for 80 barely used with a truck box. I can't wait to hook it up now, the truck box has to go though
memphis is nice but any guro would choose a JL sub over a memphis unless it was a mojo.. i live the older memphis belle amps
I have a 10w7 with the 500 amp, and it skake my whole car. Definitely a JL fan. Never heard memphis before, can't judge on that.
jl ftw before i started losing the wieght in my car i had a jl 12w7. it would knock pictures off the wall in the house. after that i had 2 10w3's. i like memphis but i think jl is better.
spending my own money...dollar for dollar...i choose memphis
house of turbo subarus...its all we'll drive
jl ftw, i have two jl 15's and i love em
why not a 12w6v2 you get the SQ and BASS, and cheaper then a W7

JL is a nice clean high quality base, plus the speakers last there very well made,
Yet memphis is a bit more dirty sounding base, yet the speakers are made pretty well
I have worked in audio for ever. go with the JL it is clean, and will last!

JL easily. Its an all around better product. JL price to performance is horrible, but that doesnt take away from the quality of the equipment. Memphis is midline gear. Its a good decent product, but JL is a high end brand when olny considering manstream products.
w6v2>w7
JL and then some.

If thats the only 2 chioces, JL. I agree Memphis is a great brand, but JL was created by an audiophile, for audiophiles, but along the way go hi-jacked by every big mouthed bragging kid as his own brand. I have never owned a JL piece that didnt do exactly what I expected or better, I have been disappointed with numerous other brands. Also, IMO....JL= SQ, Memphis = SPL, not to say thats all they do and they can't do both.

iam also a big fan of JLs i would buy there stuff in a hartbeat...lol
i think the jl w7 is a good choice
JL is more expensive, but you can get memphis to hit hard as hell, other ones to look at is kicker and pioneer premier

Memphis would be my choice. You just can't beat it when it comes to the same sound quality as JL but cheaper. JL makes bad ass hardware though too. Their amps push full power all the way down to 9.6 volts.

oh yea I didn't mention, I was asking based on subs not amps.
who cares. all JL products own. no competition! haha
don't hate, memphis is cheaper and more baller get over it lol
Lol at memphis having better quality. JL all the way every day. For the power levels the subs require they are very loud, very efficient, and very good sound quality. I've got a 12" w6v2 running off a 500/1 and I couldn't be happier.
that's the ideal set up IMO. JL all the way!
JL hands down
That is hands down the best mainstream sub on the market.
memphis...nothing else
Image Dynamics and Resonant Engineering FTW!!! lol jk
To add to this topic. I have heard good things about both, and have heard the JL. Good quality, good sound...you get what you pay for.
can't go awfully wrong with either...i prefer JL myself.
ya im wit u i had 12w7 and i blew it, yes i blew it wit a 500/2 hi phonics zuse amp. but now i have a 12w6v2 wit a 500/1 jl amp and i ****in love it! it ****in beets.. jl all the way! but if i didn't use jl id defentley use kicker i have always had jl or kicker
The only reason JL is considered "high end" is because its expensive. I'd put the m3's up against the w6's and the mojo's up against the w7's any day. thats SPL and Sq.
