And what coils to get depends on what amp you will be using. Why the JL amp? They are good quality amps but tend to be overpriced compared to some other good quality amplifiers. For example the Audioque 1200d for $250. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8045 Registered: Jul-06 | Woah there, be VERY careful with JL and ebay. Anyone who sells JL on the internet is not authorized to do so and the amp will come with no warranty. And JL is the most commonly "faked" amp, where they build a phony case the looks real and stick sh!tty internals in it. And theres really no sure way to tell, so I would never buy JL online. |
