    I know a guy who has TWO of them in his 23X25 HT plus TWO F113's in the front. The bass hits so hard it almost hurts! Awesome gear!

    I would only hope that subwoofer would hurt me! And yes, JL does make some very quality stuff.. I used to have 2 JL 10w3's in my previous car and they were very nice. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase something from them for my HT, except for that crazy price! I'm not saying it's not worth it, but wow.. I can only wish!

    My next purchase is a pair of F112's to round out my 2 Channel system. They one of a few subs capable of keeping up with the ESL's.

    The Gotham first retailed for about $9k, then they've gone up to around $12k in a very short period of time; talk about inflation!
