Question JL audi-NO?

Sup peeps its me again.

I think that I have posted on this topic before, but I want to again so here ya go,

I have been saving for my system for 4 months, and I just want to make sure that I get decent sound and not have to upgrade in the near future so I want opinions.

For the deck I've decided to stick with the Pioneer DEH-7500 and that is staying, but when it comes to choosing the subs and components, I always flip-flop back and forward.

I had originaly chose to go with an all JL setup and had picked (2) 10" 10W6v2 for subs and for the components the XR525-CSi.

Now a couple of people have gotten me to think that maybe Kicker is the way to go. If I went with Kicker i would probably get (2) 10" Kicker 02S10L5 for subs, and the Kicker RS6c for components.

I dont want to mix and match brands so overall which would be better?

I would take JL over Kicker for sure. I have the XRs in my truck and they are great.

Because the 3 crappy shops here do not carry them, I'd have to order them and I have to pay before I order them. I'm just ordering everything off of the net and taking it to them to do the install.

I got a 12" L7 and RS6 components with Kicker amps driving them both all off a Pioneer unit and I love it. Going all Kicker gets my vote. JL is great if you got the money but if you're on a budget you'll get more bang for you buck with Kicker, period.

I have the JL XR650's in my car and 2 JL 12w3's I love the way they it all sounds together. I have the Pioneer DEHp-8400 just for reference and my subs are powered with a JL 500/2 amp.

I dunno, it seems like both are pretty good brands but I guess I would be looking for clarity over loudness so I'll go JL. Thanks for all of the help peeps.

You won't be disappointed with the XR's.

I have (2) sets of JL XR 525CSi's and i can't wait to get them installed.
