Bang for the buck money wise, the Polk MOMO C500.1 amp is a great amp! Had two of them and loved the amount of power the produced. The sound was great.
Someone mentioned the old Orions, talk about beasts! The other sweet amps from the 90's were the Blade amps! All digital!

Similarly, there are products that sound better, get louder, produce more wattage, are more reliable, and cheaper than JL, but people go with JL because of its reputation, and the fact that having JL is balla.

For me, I personally like the sound and the fact that they get loud too is just a bonus. Going by your logic, we all should have bought Accords instead of TLs.

There are some that get louder, some that sound better, but few that combine the two.

I saw your picture awhile back and loved this setup, but I just needed a little more space than what this provided. Golf clubs are big, and I drive to the course with 3 friends/bags

I would easily compare them to JL subs. Its kind of weird that not a lot of people know about them, but Image Dynamics makes high quality audio products. They go really loud but sound very crisp and clear. When I get to putting together my new system I'm having 1000/1 powering each of the two. They handle it pretty well and trust me they sound amazing.

Blade did make some insane amps. I personally liked the Esoteric Audio stuff also. My buddy has 4 of them sitting in his room and he won't sell em' to me. Their worth more sentimental value than anything.
When Diamond Audio first introduced themselves they were soooo bad. the original Hex series were the best sounding components of the 90's.
Last was the original Eclipse decks when they were introduced were awesome. Everyone was so into the de-face idea that when they came out with the ESN network people thought it was a great idea. Just my
but I am a hardcore caraudio lover and I wish (along with many others) still wish they put the time, money, and quality into products like they did in the 90's.

2008 NBP TL
2. What is the brand of enclosure you are using, and what are the dimensions (length, width, depth)?
3. How much cubic feet do you have inside the enclosure (volume)?

Orion Rocks
That would be me. I love the old skool Orion stuff. I spent so much money in high school on the XTR amps and subs. I never did have the money for the NT series though.
Blade did make some insane amps. I personally liked the Esoteric Audio stuff also. My buddy has 4 of them sitting in his room and he won't sell em' to me. Their worth more sentimental value than anything.

Sorry for being off topic. I just have to say ORION ROCKS! I remember the 12" Orion NT Carbon Fiber Lifetime Warranty sub I had. Remember those HCCAs 1FastVtec?
I replaced my truck (got written off) in the above picture with the TL. Lucky I could take my sound system back, which has 2 Orion HCCA250s pushing a HCCA12" (each pushing its own 2ohm coil... it is redundant but hey, got an extra amp sitting around, why not?) and a U-dimension 4x50 pushing 2 sets of HCCA 6.5s.... Man this sound system just kicks butts!
I leased my TL and am itching to install the sound system back in the TL........... I cannot imagine how good the system will sound with such a smooth ride. But figured i probably will do it if i keep the 3G, which means I have to buy back the lease
(which is not a difficult decision to make after the 4G came out... flamesuit on....)Anyway, thanks for all the pictures guys! It just gets me excited when i see the system setup of the others.
Peace.

the high output box makes a HUGE difference for my w7. the other box they have SUCKS. it is not nearly as loud...this thing is bumpinggggggggggg
