CompSpeakers Unregistered guest | So I've been looking into getting some components for my ride. A local authorized dealer quoted me $435 for JL Audio XR 6.5 inch components (front only, installation charges not included). Not sure if it was XR650-CSi or XR650-CXi or XR653-CS. My questions are ... Is that a good deal or am I getting ripped off? Are there any other speakers in that price range which are better than the XRs? My budget is $500 (preferrably installed). Thanks for your help. |

CompSpeakers Unregistered guest | The dealer mentioned that its a 6.5" component set. After reading JL's site more carefully it looks like only the XR653_CS fits that description of out the 3. I will double check with the dealer again. Looking at www.mobilesq.com, it seems like the DLS Ultimate UP35 & UP36 would be in my price range. My only concern is, if I get it from mobilesq, would I still have the manufacturers warranty? I would like to have the warranty just incase the speakers malfunction. |
