Default JL Audio Vs. Diamond Audio Technology

Hey guys I am in a knot between these two companies and am deciding on which brand to get. I am going either for 2 12" JL Audio W3's or 2 12" Diamond D3's. Its a hard decision on my part cause there one of the two best companies out there. I heard the JL W3's today and they sounded amazing My local audio shop had Diamond D1's which sounded like my Kicker CVR which I hate, and I officially hate Kicker now there subs sound like trash haha, anyways JL is a bit more pricier than the Diamonds but money is not an issue here . The JL's sounded alot higher quality too so im still not sure.

JL and DA both sounds good, but i would i have to go with JL. JL subs are more efficient than DA.

are you set on just those two brands of subs or open to anything? if so i would recommend image dynamics idmax 12s or an elemental designs 13av, great subs with the sound quality of 8s and the boom of 15s, but if your stuck on the two above mentioned brands i would say jl is good but overrated and diamonds sound pretty decent as long as you have them correctly powered and box size built to spec, but good luck in your search theres alot of competition out there

Diamond Audio D912D4 is prob one of the most musical subs with super output in a proper enclosure. Did I mention those boys can get LOUD?

diamond audio is the way to go. get something different then all the other fan boys out there, and enjoy the sound that diamond produces. D9 is really where you want to be at, much more musical then teh JL can ever be, and has more excursion then the w7.

I personally run all d9 stuff in my rig. d9 front speakers, d9 amps, d9 sub. If you were in oregon i would let you listen to all of it.
