I had $2,500 to spend on a sound system a couple years back and figured Audio Sensations would be the place to go. Boy, was I wrong.
I ended up going with the following based on their recommendation for the best sounding system for the money.
12"" JL W6 w/ ported box
4 component speakers + 2 tweeters - All JL
Two JL amps, one 500 watt for the sub and one for component set
My sub amp frequently overheated, and my sub would turn off when this happened.
The amps frequently fell of the board they were mounted on.
I went through 5 pairs of tweeters before they stopped replacing them for free, amps were tuned by Audio Sensations.
Sub started sounding like junk for no apparent reason, and was never pushed past 500 watts as recommended by JL even though many people said it could easily handle 700, I figured I would try to make it last.
Eventually I ripped out all of their wiring, and replaced with my own wiring. Replaced all of their cross-overs, and had a friend tune the amp and re-wire the head unit.
After all of this was done my system was much better than it had been throughout 10+ trips to Audio Sensations.
It sounded great for a short while, but I would not recommend them and have not visited their shop since.
Don't make the same mistake I did.
