"...the Gothams and the CR-1 are tickets to a full-range bliss you've never before experienced, because, in my own experience, it's never before been available at this level of unalloyed satisfaction. Both the Gotham subs and JL's CR-1 crossover, obviously, get my highest, most unqualified, most enthusiastic recommendation. I just wish all of you could hear them!"

"The Gotham is a massively overbuilt (think mil-spec) subwoofer that doesn't know the meaning of the term dynamic constraint"

CEDIA 2004 Best Sound, JL Audio Gotham
– Neil Gader, The Perfect Vision
While it's true that you should never judge a book by its cover or a subwoofer by its luxurious, hand-rubbed gloss-black finish, one look at the Gotham g213 creates instant desire.
