I think the eclipse has been out longer than the JL. Eclipse is very high end and they really don't even bother or promote there low end equipment. I would go with Eclipse just because everybody has JL.

What I said is true, and that is my point.

Most people are bias towards what they spent their $$ on.

There are people who buy the most expensive product, and think it is the best.

There are people do what a salesman/marketing says, and think it is the best.

There are people who research, and know what is really the best for them.

Research and learn the technical aspects of products to find what is best for you. There is a lot involved with selecting a sub, and you'll want an amp to match. Car audio is a big can of worms, people will argue over some minuscule figure like it means everything.
