There is actually nothing wrong with the JL Audio subs. In fact they sound great and are cheap for comercial drivers. You got a good price, better than I've seen by about $50 or so. But, Dave hit the highlights already why the Shiva is a little bit better. One more, magnet weight of 112oz, IIRC which lets the Shiva use it's 15mm Xmax. So if you already have JL's, enjoy them as I would. But if looking at buying the JL's, there are some alternatives I'd put my money into. I don't reommend upgrading to a Shiva type from the JL unless you have a buyer for the JL's.
