Silver Member Username: Dsmith07Post Number: 156 Registered: Jun-06 | I'm getting the 5.25" and 6x9" models of the TR JL's and not putting a amp on them yet...do you guys think they will still sound pretty good providing they have no amp but the internal one in my head unit ( alpine 9851) |

Silver Member Username: BernymacRialto, CA United States Post Number: 510 Registered: Sep-04 | They will sound good of course, thats if your not an Audio Freak. They will sound better when you amp them. But you might want to do it right the first time. As in, get something you will be happy with in the long run. |

Gold Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 1301 Registered: Jan-06 | JL entry is not really JL, so don't get your hopes up too high, atleast go for the XRs. I'd spend a little more for something like the Kenwood Excelon which has better SQ than the JL TRs. |

Silver Member Username: JohammbassCork, Cork Ireland Post Number: 308 Registered: May-06 | BTW, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, a couple of days ago I listened to XR's vs VR's powered by Focal amp and the HU was Alpine, that was so funny, because VR's sounded better than XR's, the last ones were almost totally missing upper midrange (I guess to make them less harsh ). JL is so much about marketing that they look stupid. LMAO, put a black guy on your website with an amp in this hands - see, his 15's bump LOL. Recently I looked at a 8W7, I mean COME ON, if you don't consider the surround then it's like a 5" driver LOL, well but I guess it's all about Xmax They are so pathetic |

Silver Member Username: BobimpactDanbury, CT US Post Number: 196 Registered: May-06 | Yeah, who would want an 8 that will play 33Hz comfortably and be as quick as any other 8 on the market? What junk. And what, pray tell, do you consider the "upper midrange?" The TRs are OK at best. The 6x9s are WAY too harsh for my tastes. |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7250 Registered: Aug-05 | hi Bob!!! i have never heard the JL comps, but i have been told the XR's are veddy nice....heard some W7's....they sounded weird to me. haha |

Silver Member Username: BobimpactDanbury, CT US Post Number: 204 Registered: May-06 | W7s are good, XRs are good, if pricey. My ZRs stomp, great speaker for metal guys. I'm going to refrain from posting when i'm cranky from now on. |

Silver Member Username: JohammbassCork, Cork Ireland Post Number: 332 Registered: May-06 | Yeah and when I was back in Springtucky OH my local Soundwaves dealer guy simply sh:t his pants when he heard my cheap MB Quart RSD213's ($130 shipped) powered by Art 404 vs his XR's powered by the "super duper" slash series, not to mention that I don't like MB Quart's titanium domes IT STILL SOUNDED BETTER THAN THE XR's. And I am 100% positive that 2 x 10" IDQ's would sound MUCH better than an 8W7. Well, upper midrange, hmm, I would not be able to tell you the exact frequency, however, I am talking about the higher end of piano. I've compared Focal K2P's next to XR's and it was like day and night (XR's being the night), not to mention that I don't consider K2P's to be a referance set to begin with. |

Silver Member Username: DelsolePost Number: 938 Registered: Feb-05 | derek smith i recently had a set of tr 6.5's and a set or tr 5.5's hooked up to a eclipse HU no amp and i thought they sounded great. i think for what you are lookin for they would be great and if i were you i wouldent amplify jl's lowest line. but the point is i had them and they sounded great, ya there may be better for the price but jl is well known and im sure u would like them. |

Silver Member Username: BobimpactDanbury, CT US Post Number: 206 Registered: May-06 | K2Ps are XRs aren't even close. The ZRs would be the match. XRs and Quarts both have Titanium domes, so there's no REASON TO GET ALL CAPITALIZED ABOUT IT. And the K2Ps are a reference set. I would say that 1 hot dog is not a match for two hamburgers (catch my drift?) Not to jump all over you, and this next bit isn't directed towards you either, but I just think there's a LOT of hatred out there towards JL that's misplaced, and a lot more "that doesn't sound good" being done by people who either A) don't know what the hell they're talking about (The kind of guy who can't tell a $100 speaker from a $10,000 speaker) or B) Will NEVER admit that they like how JLs stuff sounds. My favorite are the "audiophiles" that come into my store and stand directly on top of one speaker, listen for 5 seconds and claim that it's not a good as their off-brand internet only special. I'm not saying that EVERYONE MUST LOVE JL, nor am I a JL fan boy, it just disheartens me to see the constant smack talking, about any manufacturer. Maybe JL isn't your cup of tea for whatever reason, but that doesn't make it bad. For example I dislike almost everything Rockford or Kicker has made for the past three years, does that make it bad stuff? Hell No! I just don't like it! I'll be honest, I've been in this business a LONG time, and i've seen most of the stuff you guys tout on this board, and a good majority of it isnt fit to be installed. I am NOT going to single out brands or products, but it's the honest truth. Put it this way, this business is HARD, companies do NOT make it as car audio only if they're not good, or weren't good at one point. |

Silver Member Username: JohammbassCork, Cork Ireland Post Number: 338 Registered: May-06 | Bob, I am just saying that for the $ vs $ there are better choices than JL. If I were to buy those RSD's the year they came out and at an authorized dealer I would have paid just as much if not more as XR's cost at a dealer. Regarding the reference set - I would consider that to be say Scan Speak (Alpine F1, Genesis Absolute) and a few others. K2P's just din't do it for me, well they are pretty flat and accurate, but.......there is something about them that my ears get tired of, especially if I were to listen to AC/DC or similar. Now on the other hand, that new Utopia Be, hmm x-overs are impressive to say the least, must say I haven't heard it, but I think it would be a refference set if the price is right, but I will believe it when I hear it , btw, that is going to happen in about 3 weeks, local shop is getting their CLK demo car ready, I will listen to it as soon as it's done and tweaked |

Silver Member Username: DelsolePost Number: 939 Registered: Feb-05 | well said bob, but on the same note if derek said he wanted the tr's that is prolly tellin u he doesent want to spend the money on the zr or xr nor an amp. the tr's will still do what he wants them to a sound good doin it |

Silver Member Username: JohammbassCork, Cork Ireland Post Number: 343 Registered: May-06 | I guess "good" is a relative term bump |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7323 Registered: Aug-05 |

Silver Member Username: BobimpactDanbury, CT US Post Number: 212 Registered: May-06 | "I guess "good" is a relative term" That would explain the continued popularity of Ashley Simpson. |

Bronze Member Username: Style_frontPost Number: 14 Registered: Oct-06 | Is the JL 3 way set any good? |
|
Silver Member Username: JohammbassCork, Co.Cork Ireland Post Number: 378 Registered: May-06 | Chris, I would go with a 3way CDT's, 3way DLS's or 3way Morel's. There is no way I would go with JL's for a 3way. |

Silver Member Username: DelsolePost Number: 965 Registered: Feb-05 | hey derek im glad your happy with your choice, i told you that you would like jl's speakers. we just have alot of jl haters hear on ecoustics jk |
