New member Username: KshkolMarkham, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2 Registered: Aug-06 | Hello everyone, I want to put an amp & sub in my car. Budget is about $800, kicker, JL Audio, or whatever you guys can suggest, I don't want it to be very LOUD where you start losing the quality of sound... the only condition is Quality of Sound.  thanks in advance to chip-in. |

PS: Steve, you said, stay away from Kicker & then u suggest Kicker ZX750, was that a joke about staying away from kicker? |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 192 Registered: Feb-06 | Why not get a great SQL setup for $800? That way you can keep it turned down, when you just care about SQ, and can turn it up and really crank it when you want some loud bass, that still retains good SQ. And for $800 you could get an awesome SQL setup. |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 194 Registered: Feb-06 | SI mag 15, Massive Audio P1000.1 $750 shipped to your door, and will be much better than any Kickers systems, and the only JL sub that can come close to a mag is the W7, which costs about $200 more. And many people agree the mag, sounds even better than the W7. So if you want a very nice SQL system those to products would be amazing. |

New member Username: Thed42Post Number: 8 Registered: Jun-06 | There is no such thing as SQL. Thats like salt and pepper in the same shaker. There is no point. SQL is a made up thing. It is like saying I like brown, when both my favorite colors are black and white. In reality if you mix black and white you get grey. Think about it |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 195 Registered: Feb-06 | Mark D....No offense, but you have no idea what you are talking about. Everyone knows what SQL is. You can have SQ, which is just a greats sounding sub. You can have SPL, which is a plain loud sub. Then there is sound quality level, which sounds good, but gets loud as well. Just do a search on any reputable car audio forum, and you will see people talking about SQL subs left and right. Martelle Pitts...Email showcarsite@gmail.com. He will take care of you. |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2983 Registered: Oct-05 | both are very very good amps. i prolly would pick the kicker because they are underrated quiet a bit, more than jl. but jl's reg. power supply is the feature that would be somthing to go for, |
