You've heard?
The website is free to view, and they'll send you a catalog if you ask.
They're usually within 10% of the best price I can find, and it's normal for them to be within 5%. Their prices usually include free installation parts, and they provide detailed instructions. They have the best customer service I've ever dealt with, from any company in any field. They've even helped me troubleshoot problems with products I bought from other vendors.
I'm always willing to spend more to support them.

Year: My Jeep is a GMC
I was given a 2000 watt boss amp and it couldn't even put out what my 300 watt Rockford fosgate amp put out without going into protect mode. And my friend had a 2000 watt 12" boss sub in a ported box and it was nothing compared to my alpine type r 12 in a sealed box only getting like 400 watts probably.
I've got a Sansui 7070 receiver I keep downstairs it's rated at 60 wpc. That receiver at about 50% and some old school JVCs sounds like SRV is 15' away and will generate a noise complaint faster than you can dial 911. lol.
ETA:
Today I drove my Cherokee to the grocery store & got some gas.

Speaking of Subs, I just put this in this weekend: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500PWAS...-PWA-S10V.html
It's damn impressive. My thinking was - my bass cab I play at home is twin 10s @ 300 watts and I have to keep it set to around 2 of 10. So one 10" at 250 watts should be pretty intense.
Yes. Yes it is. Fits real nice in the back up against the backseat, too.

After much deliberation, I went ahead and ordered the OME lift from Quadratec for my 1996 XJ, as well as a JKS track bar, OME stabilizer, and additional 3/4" Spacers.
It took me 1.5 days- All day Saturday with a buddy and beer time, plus 1/2 day Sunday by myself.
Had to cut notches in front leaf bushing housing thingy- Air chiseled one welded factory nut off, and had to cut most of the other shackle bolts/sleeves/bushings out. Lots of heat, PB blaster and muscle did the job.
Front went really smooth, and netted about 2.25" of lift with the OME 930 coils and 10mm OME spacers + .75" spacers.
Rear CS033RB OME leaf springs netted about 4.25"....hopefully will settle to 3".
All said and done I have a smile, and my wife thinks it looks goofy- Success!
Now for some Extended brake lines from Quadratec that I haven't installed yet, and either shims or T-case drop kit to eliminte the drive line vibes, and I'll be a happy camper.
Next thing is a locker for the rear. If I can convince he wife..heh heh

Installed a new ZJ tie-rod and aligned it then, the wife and I took it on a 100 mile drive.
First time I've driven it that much in one day in almost 2 yrs. Lol!
Nice upgrade though and I definitely noticed the difference in steering and stability.

Finished a couple of things
Got the Riddler covers and Lubelockers installed
Also got the over-the-knuckle tie-rod flip finished, lots of room everywhere, although the ZJ tie rod adjuster is catching on the Synergy swaybar relocator brackets at full drivers turn, so need to clearance that

Replaced the shackles today. Had to pound the weld nut out off the uniframe then cut out a small hole on the floor so I can put in new nut & hold it with a wrench.
Did some compression testing, etc on the engine. It's starting to look like the cylinder #1 piston rings are worn out.

wasn't trying to bad mouth. I was just saying they're expensive. I know there's a reason they're expensive. I'm sure they do a great job with warranty and all that, and I know they have a lot of info. I'm not picky about warranties, and I google stuff to find out about it, so I don't need to use them.
