My brother, bring your tea or coffee by and stand in front of our 12W7 cranking in the middle of the showroom and attempt to take a sip, you will have a fine mess on your shirt!

All fine points here. Arc I can comment on-as I have seen/heard and worked with some of their equipment. We have even considered carrying the line but don't feel we can support it as well as we would like to. Fine equipment across the board for sure though.

Crossfire-I can't really comment on at all. Never had any experience with it whatsoever. Never had anyone bring one in here for comparison either or swap out with a JL for real world comparison so I remain neutral. Equipment looks to have some good features for the money-but I've never heard them in action

And Luke is correct, JL picked up the Total Mobile Audio lineup a few years ago as a budget line. They spec'd out the power supply with their own however and the amps still stand up with the big boys and hold their own. Yes it is made in China-they make no qualms about it. That lineup was never put out there to set the world on fire (that being said, they sell REALLY well). However, their own lines of amps and speakers/accessories are mostly made down in Miramar, FL or Phoenix, AZ.

And as far as warranties, say what you want. I had a TR member who purchased a used 1000/1 amp a while back on the cheap find out it was blown when we installed it. We sent it out for repairs he was expecting to pay for. JL returned it repaired (brand new motherboard) for FREE. They felt that even though it was out of warranty, it failed too early with no signs of abuse. Saved the customer $180 and even started the warranty all over again for another year! I have NEVER had another manufacturer we have dealt with step up like that. EVER!
