it's not what you know it's who you know, lol.
you obviously know abit about audio but the only reason i know differences between W6 AND W7 is that the main guy from JL was there at the IASCA last month and i was introduced to him and got talking about which is better, etc etc.
You mean Steve Turrissi, he is one of the guys from JL audio in the states and was over around that time. He might have given a sample set to source sounds when he was over here, but that probably wont be warrentied by us as we never purchased them. As for who you know- I speak to the guy once a week along with various other manufacturers.
Source sounds are one of our customers, as are every other authorised dealer in the UK. as for their demo car, i cant speak for that as im not completely sure who sponsored it- but i wouldnt be surprised if that was BBG as well. We tend to get dealers to build the demo cars for us as it keeps our industry relations strong. The SQ+ audi A4- that was commisioned by us amongst many others. when these companies say its a "JL audio" demo car, its because they have the freedom to do that from us. It works both ways, they build a car, they get the recognition for it, people want JL kit because of it and our sales go up from all directions- not just any single dealer.
Dude, in the UK JL audio does not HAVE a base, they are represented by BBG distribution who have the exclusive import and distribution rights on JL, phoenix gold, streetwires, MTX and dynamat, if the products are bought in by ANYONE other than BBG, there is no warrenty- period.
and the reason i know all of this 1) I have been keeping a keen eye on the ZR range myself! 2) im the marketing manager at BBG!!
