Great Bass For A Great Price

After JL Audio developed the W7 and W6v2 subwoofers, they were able to use that same technology to create an affordable subwoofer with excellent bass.

The results of this is what we know now as the W1v2. So what is it that separates these subwoofer from other subs? Well, how about the DMA optimized motor system and the elevated frame-cooling system. Lets also include the FCAM (Floating Cone Attach Method) and the patent pending Surround Stress-Relief technology. But wait, theres more. The interlocking cone and dust cap, the vented reinforcement collar, the insert molded suspension / coil / terminal sub-assembly, and finally, the customizable trim ring. Wow... thats a lot of features for a subwoofer priced like this one!

I installed a pair of these JL Audio woofers in my 35 Plymouth Coupe. They sounded better than the engine (that's saying something). Very good value at a great price.

i bought two of these to replace a pair of roadmaster subs id bought years ago. They'r behind my seat, 1990 F150 regular cab, powered by an old sherwood 100 watt per channel amplifier. have to say they sound great. thinking now that i could of gotten away with only one. They hit harder and cleaner than the old road master. good price too.
