Zenn said:for around 500 i can only recommend u the new rogers comp set. for ppl with low budget especially beginners this is the best ive heard in this price range. sounds better than alpine type s, type r, just lose a bit to type x and the DDL series. havent heard the JL yet but i hear it may be a copy. anyway JL not known for making good comps, just great subs. have tested the SS and ads against the alpines and sounded very thin and sharp, prefer the alpines.
