i have a set of JL components hooked up to a JL 300.4 and i noticed it doesnt sound as loud and clear as my Alpine Coxials by themselves even without an amp... i notice my JL lacks midbass.. is there somehting wrong here?

 

depends on what series of each that you're comparing

 

Yup, it certainly depends on what components to what coaxials but I still have to beleive the components shoudl sound better if tuned properly. I have JL components and they sound great.

 

jl audio xr components vs. alpine type r coxials..

 

XR's are softer in nature, especially with the silk dome tweeter. JL's components just seem to be softer in general. I love their ZR components

 

Actually the XR are titanium dome tweeter and very bright. The VR are silk dome and softer in sound. I have the ZR which are awesome!

But the XR should sound much better than the alpine r coaxials. I would check all the settings on the amp.

 

my bad, i get those two mixed up.


we've got a set of ZRs on display....i want to put them in my car so bad
