Silver Member Username: TdisantoPost Number: 255 Registered: Sep-05 | They are a step up from the perfects, there hand made in germany. Anyhow, as far as brightness is concerned i dont know how they compare to the infiniys but im sure its not as bright(i havent heard the JLs before) This is what jonathan posted about the Xr JLs aren't designed for average installations. Shallow slope x-overs and a rather high x-over freq. for a 6.5" mid. Needs a kick panel install or angled door to get best results. If you don't, they won't sound good because the drivers won't mesh well. The majority of people that are dissatisfied with any component system are the ones that didn't take the time to install them correctly. Install= 70%+ of the end result. |

Silver Member Username: SpyderEglin AFB, Florida USA Post Number: 131 Registered: Jun-05 | i think the best thing would be kick panel's......installing components isn't really physically hard......but i can say it's an art that i can fully say i haven't mastered just yet.....but idealy you want the left speaker to aimed at the the right headrest....and the right aimed at the left headrest!! |

Bronze Member Username: Brandonk17Post Number: 33 Registered: Sep-05 | I know this wasnt my question... but simon can you elaborate a little more on imaging... like should it be aimed at the headrest from the position the seat is usually in or from a postion that is all they way back/forward?... also ive heard of laser pointers being used to get the imaging lined up... is this a good way to go? sorry for posting in the middle of thread vincent |

Silver Member Username: TdisantoPost Number: 286 Registered: Sep-05 | Yes, i have heard of people using laser pointers to aim the position of the tweeters. lol... |

Silver Member Username: SpyderEglin AFB, Florida USA Post Number: 134 Registered: Jun-05 | you can use the laser pointers but i know nothing on how to use them.......you want the seats in the normal positions they will be in for when you drive the car........and don't do like i did....i put my crossover in the door behind the paneling.....hooked em up and tuned the amp.....with out setting the crossover up for less treble and what not!!!! |

Silver Member Username: Skyliner17Saint Paul, MN United States Post Number: 187 Registered: Apr-05 | i'm still worried that the jl xr's will be too bright cause of the metal dome tweets. i like them in some of the music i listen too but not all so i think i should look into a set with silk dome tweets. how would the cdt sets or any other with silk dome tweets compare to the infinity perfects??? any inputs... |

BA Z's tweeter is pretty decent btw... |
