Smorg,
Look at this realistically for a minute. JL has a worldwide reputation of excellence and the W7 has an rightfully earned outstanding reputation. I wish everyone had heard of the Brahma and others, but they haven't and a warranty is the last thing I can think of that would make someone choose one product over another. Think about the average buyer? How many are sensible?
The average car audio buyer likes audiobahn because they look nice and thump, hit, drone, push, slam, etc...
If you walked up to stranger on the street and laid out the facts including performance, looks, price, and warranty, I guarantee the warranty would be the least of their concerns.
