Clean and Efficient W3v3 Series JL Audio Woofers

If space is limited but you still want unmatched bass, then the JL Audio 6W3v3-4 is the best solution to your problem. This 6.5" inch subwoofer might be small but it carries all the qualities an expectations of any JL Audio product. With 150 watts RMS and a Single 4 ohm voice coil, this woofer will provide rich and responsive bass.

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, JL Audio will never disappoint.

This sub packs a punch, and if set up right inside a well constructed box, outperforms the cheaper, 8" and 10" that I've heard. Looks amazing reversed as well. But the real winner on this amp is the size, for a sealed enclosure it only requires .15cf! You could put this thing under your kids bed and give him nightmares, 'cause this sub is a monster!



Perfect for small cars with little to no room like my MR2 Rev.2, MX-5 etc.



Great for precision and filling out the bottom end of your frequencies, but can't compete with the larger, properly installed and powered 8 and 10" subs but still a stunner!

Performed beyond my expectations, simply excellent! The bass is just right, not enough to be a nuisance to other road user but enough to really enjoy music. I am buying another one for my other car.

I bought this for my little motorhome. It works great with my alpine head and amp. I put it in a little oak cabinet, behind the driver's seat.

It is very good audio quality, not just a big boom box.

I would recommend this sub to someone who wants that little extra bit of bass without over doing it. They work great for metal and rock and would pair up great with a bigger sub to get some of the higher ranged tones.
