JL audio to me is a highend stuff.

Check it out at http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_pages.php?page_id=134

The price usualy come along way up high. If not I should be using it.

I overcome a JL woofer w7 series that cost RM2k above.

Please beware.

Although usable but what's the point if the quality doesn't meet requirement?

arghh... I will just go for Pioneer then at some car acc shop. Safer and cheaper

guys, anyone could help me out?

I budget Rm1k for a sub + amp + installation. Any recommendation? So far I found a lot of my friends are using Pioneer sub , how's it?

I don't have any friend using Pioneer subwoofer!
Got friend use MTX, JL, JBL, Ligthning Audio, Helix, Hertz sub woofer..but none use pioneer...

i use before the carbon fibre series
but the sub alone cost more than ur budget wo

huh? Friend, i'm living at kch here la... haha... we are not so advance... huh? my friend installed only Rm1k everything, well of course just moderate amp to power the Pioneer sub...

Hmm.. Prokick, Kickers, Pegasus(forget spelling) should within the budget.

I remember I get Prokick Sub-Woofer 12" at range of RM600-700.

Then the rest of amount just go for a 2ch amp for the Sub-woofer.

how to determine the sub is genuine? or real?

do they come with warranty card or wad?

i don think any1 would like to imitate pioneer's woofer.. he! he!

warranty card? i think got guah..

why they come cheap then? hehe... how's the quality? so far I think it's the cheapest and reliable anyway, how bout other subs? they come with warranty card too?

Well, so far I never come up with none warranty card ICE, unless is used item. All have warranty card.

since got ppl said got warranty card, then u should trust on him

Fact is, even got warranty card also doesn't necessarily is authentic, i remember, if not mistaken those fake DLS UR36S comes with warranty card

Bro i am from kch as well but now residing in KL

Well regarding fake JL it is easy to tell them apart if you have listen to the real ones before. Basically fake ones my experience is normally the JL 12 w3 v1 and 12 w3 v2.
Characteristic is that its power handling not as high as the real one and its loses abit of the trademark tight and solid bass JL is famous for. It tends to sound abit lose and boomy abit.

But just a note the testing we did was we even send it to the local distributer to tell them apart. Exterior wise is almost 100 % identical. except the rubber at the side of the woofer will fade after a while. The only way to see the difference sad to say is in the VOICE coil meaning you need to take it out to see its fake . the fake ones the coil is smaller and less wire coils.

Hope that helps.

BTW my friend in kch also drives a EK9 with carbon hood. you might have seen him. he got quite a decent sound system. maybe he could help you out

warranty card is the key? no way, there's fake ads and dls selling in malaysian forum....look almost the same and all stuff in the box are same....

wow.. u muz b super tai kor.. listen onli u know.. wat if 1 is using powerful amp and the other 1 is using low powered amp? i mean both using the same fake JL..

then I guess the JL componnent that my friend introduced is fake. My freind's JL name on the midbass already fade!

anyway, even without warranty cards... it's trustable right? Arghh... I'm so scared now... judging that i'm not a rich kid haha... Rm1k would gone if I choose the wrong stuff!

Your friend is driving EK9 or EG9? So far I've not encountered any EK9 with carbon hood in kch ler1~

name ur budget out and c if any1 here can help u out..

as I said, RM1k (amp + sub + installation)

i guess u can settle with normal brands
e.g. Mohawk, Stellar, Proc0ck, Shuttle Lab etc
