And unless you're looking for a nice brand name that everyone recognizes, I wouldn't go for JL stuff, unless you can get a really good deal on it. It's typically overpriced for what it is...the only reason I have a 10W6 is because it was $30.

Really? I didn't find that to be the case at all; I find JLs dirt cheap nearly everywhere except good guys- they wanted 200 for a W3; I got mine for 100 each

and sev, those are amps

As for profile; i've heard bad things.. but then people defend them.. and then I hear bad things.

as for Infinity, I haven't heard about the quality of their amps at all.

I was just about to purchase a 4 channel Pheonix Gold Amp, cus I've heard only good things; but suddenly it's 150 dollars more expensive everywhere!! AHH

I've never actually heard W3s so I can't comment on a comparable sub for around the same price range, but I know that my 10W6 is typically expensive, but I don't find it to be that great of a sub for the price that they usually go for...I'd much rather have a cheaper sub from Image Dynamics.
