I am a JL Audio whore. I am obsessed with JL Audio, sadly though, my wallet cannot match up with my sick obsession. I am madly in love with the JL ZR650-CSi Component speakers

http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_c...php?comp_id=65

but I simply cannot afford them.

Can somebody recommend a comparable alternative?

Price range being $500 or lower please

Why're you obsessed with JL? Have you ever heard other stuff out there?

LiquidClen · 11-01-2005, 08:25 PM

I don't know why, I really don't. I know it doesn't sound the best, and I know its way overpriced. I just LOVE it, and i dont know why.

Care to answer my questions.

Do this, get the JL XR's, put that other 300 into sound proofing and deadening.

LiquidClen · 11-01-2005, 09:26 PM

should I get the 2 or 3 Way XR set?

***cam2Xrunner*** · 11-01-2005, 09:50 PM

2 way unless you wanna do some custom kicks. Are you planning on wiring active? If so, we can do MUCH better than the JL's.

while on the topic...are JBL and JL the same thing?

I have JBL Floorstanding speakers for my home surround system and they are awsome.
But JL's car audio wise seem to be all hype? am i right on this assumption?

***cam2Xrunner*** · 11-02-2005, 12:01 AM

JBL and JL are completely different companies.

No, they're different.

Weren't you an installer?!

***ModifierMR*** · 11-02-2005, 12:43 AM

lol yes i was an installer. but ive only been into car audio for maybe a year and a half now. I have more knowlage of Home audio and Computer Technology. Computer Networking and Programming is what im majoring in right now.

lol the reason i asked was becuase i didnt know if JBL had a sub-division or something for car audio.

Yeah I will get around to wiring active eventually. I am not familiar with car video so is it possible to have TV's hooked up your stereo while it is wired active?
