sq = sound quality
spl = sound pressure level, basically refers to a sub/setup that's simply going for output with no regard to how it sounds
sql = sort of a mix of the 2, excellent sound quality but also retains the ability to get very loud

I forgot which ones the Gti subs are, if they're the top model then I know they're very good. I don't have any personal experience with them though, so I can't really compare them to anything.

JBL/Crown...10000w amp...mad respect... SQ is all in the eyes of the beholder. people who drive 198X towncars and lesabres and caprieces generally think the sound of their trunk and licens plate rattleing is good sound quality, where as others want to hear the bass... "Lets see your seat belt fassened, trunk rattlen' like two midgets in the back seat wraslin'. Speaker Boxx vibrate the tag, makes it sound like aluminum cans in a bag, But i know yall wanna 'that aint no way'. can you fell the B-A-S-S bass, But i know yall wanna 'that aint no way'. can you fell the B-A-S-S bass. I LOVE THE WAY YOU MOVE, DA DA DA..DA...."

Do you want them to look nice?
If so, go to www.knukonceptz.com ( you don't need 20ft)

If you don't care what they look like, walmart sells them.

Hey Manny, you go ahead and look up a JL W15 and tell me if you have any luck on that, buddy (sarcastically). AAAAAND if you knew your facts, you'd know that is called a W-7, not a W12 or what you claim to be a "W-15"

And the JBL GTi off of sounddomain is $600 and only a 1 year warranty. So next time you post something, dont just post it to try and sound smart, cause you were just proved stupid.

Before you go bashing, check the facts.

JBL w15, JBL w12... Yeah ummm Good job making yourself look like a fool.
