Clean and Efficient W3v3 Series JL Audio Woofers

Its not often you see a 13.5" woofer like the JL Audio 13W3v3-4. This woofer is rated at 600W RMS and features a single 4 ohm voice coil. So why a 13.5" woofer? The answer is simple, more bass. A bigger woofer means more surface area which means more bass reproduction. If a 12" woofer isn't enough one of these bad boys is sure to do the trick. Just like any other JL Audio product just because the size and power is higher does not mean the performance or quality will suffer. The response rate and efficiency is not hindered, the only thing you get is quality, and nothing but raw power.

JL Audio is all about performance and quality. They manufacture products to meet extremely high standards and anything less than those standards is not good enough to carry the JL Audio name. The W3v3 subwoofer is one of the cleanest, most efficient, and best sounding subwoofers in its class. This series is available in a 6.5”, 8”, 10”, 12”, and 13.5” size woofer that can pretty much fit any vehicle size. The W3v3 features a DM Optimized Motor System that provides constant and strong linear excursion that result in reduced distortion and higher bass reproduction. These woofers also feature Elevated Frame Cooling technology that delivers cool air directly to the voice coil of the woofer. This increases power handling and sound quality. The W3v3 series subwoofers offer many more patented technologies that truly make this series stand out above the rest. If you are struggling on a decision, the decision if simple JL Audio, it will never disappoint.

I have two of these powered by a alpine mrd-1005 1000/1 and they make my head hurt and the amp only pushes about 700 watts at 12 volts great speakers, kinda high priced, but I'm happy.

My buddy has 3 of these in a blow-threw setup inside of a Ford F-150 extended cab, and the box/subs are in the bed of the truck firing into the cab and you can hear the entire song coming out of the truck for about 3 miles away, I also know someone with 3 of these in a ported enclosure in the back of an Explorer and his is so loud that he caused a police laptop to shut off from the vibrations.
I would highly recommend this sub, but it only hits hard when given alot of air space, but it bottoms out on low notes as well, I would reccommend the w6 series jl subwoofers over these any day, but it still sounds like a jl product, which is sound quality
