Both are excellent subs if set up properly. I've used both in their recommended sealed enclosures(currently using type r's), but would not hesitate to buy JBL's again. Sensitivity rating is fairly useless as there is no standardized test for measuring it. I can tell you that both subs get equally loud by ear (may measure slightly different, 1-2 dBs), given rated power. One difference I noticed between them sound wise was that the JBL's sounded fatter in the lowest frequencies, whereas the Alpines tend to be a little tighter(thinner). I like both types of sound depending on the music, so it's not a complaint on either sub. Hope that helps.
