Bought 2 of these and built a slot port enclosure out of mdf according to the factory specs. I am using a 1000/1 v2. Just broke em in and they hit so hard for a set of 8's. All my rca and power cables are monster 400 series and the clarity and sq with these subs is amazing. Only downside is I need to go buy more dynamat. Make sure u get the bass remote. U need it for quick adjustments between rock n rap.

I purchased this on this website (www.sonicelectronix.com) I had just received it yesterday. Going through the break in period with it right now. I built the enclosure myself using 3/4" MDF using JL Specs. I currently am running this in the vented enclosure off of about 80 watts of Rockford Fosgate. The sub really shines through on the Very Low End! Sounds a little weak currently with rock songs but again its only receiving about 80 watts peak for break in. Plan on running either the JL 250/1 or JL 500/1. Overall I am very very impressed, Have I had louder setups for less money? Yes, but they didn't have the clarity of this 8. Have I ever heard a louder or cleaner single 8 setup? NO. I would say if your looking for very clear yet loud low end this is for you. 2 of these on a JL1000/1 would slam! BUY IT YOU WONT REGRET IT. As far as price, sonic is the cheapest.

I was looking for something compact but hit hard. I knew the long line of jl products were quality products. I bought 2 JL 8W7-3 for my 96 impala and wow do they hit hard. I always stick my friends in the front seat to see how they feel and then I show them the trunk and they are amazed. They had no idea some little subs like these could even sound like that.

My order was packed and shipped the same day my order placed. Very quick arrival time. Extremely high quality product. The JL Audio 8W7 is AMAAAZING. Previously I owned two 10"W3's and was worried about having to downsize in my new vehicle to an 8". But JL has definitely pulled the rabbit out their hat! If you did not know that it was only an 8, you would guess it was a high-end 10 or a nice 12!
These guys are the best in online electronics. They have the best prices around, they seem to have a vast inventory. Very fast shipping too! Their customer service is far superior than any other online retailer i have ever done business with. I will never buy electronics from anywhere else.
