What do you mean? Sound Advice has carried JL for as long as I can remember. They've always carried "higher" end products, but I think that's only one of the reasons for their success. Alot rides on the installers though. Every installer I know who works there has been an installer for over 5 years...most over 10 years....and some over 20 years.
Brand names are important, but not everything. Personally, I want a product that I know is tried and true, and a company that stands behind that product. I'm sure there's cheapy equipment out there that could be hard to tell apart from higher priced equipment, but that alone still wouldn't necessarily sway me to go with it. Kind of like a Kia may have all the features and specs of a Nissan, but I would still never buy a Kia.
