Customer Testimonial

SONIC has the best prices, and fast shipping. This was my second purchase. This time I got new Front & Rear speakers for my truck. I installed them the day they arrived and they sound great. No need to ever go anywhere else looking for equiptment.

i picked up two in a package deal with a jl 600 rms amp and a bassworx ported box, i rattled everything and had to detune it cuz it felt like someone was hitting the back of my eyes with a hammer. they handle whats claimed but will bump with much less, they lasted till i blew the amp then a wired them into my 4-channel for my components so they were running off 90 watts rms and still shook everything just not bad enough to have to turn down, anyone that says they are overrated or blew doesnt know what they are doing and shouldnt be doing any wiring

I have this sub in a huge 2.5 cubic feet vented box tuned at 50hz. I'm running a 600w (300rms) amp at 4 ohms to it and this thing is literally an eyeball rattler. If I'm in my driveway and I have it turned up the windows on my house shake and so does the china cabinet. It hits the lows like they are nothing while still providing superior sound quality. This thing is rediculous. Only con is the color. It is an ugly grey color. But jl gives you a metal grill to go over it which hides it.



Compared to the w0 series the w1 demolishes it. It is worth the upgrade. A friends car had 2 12" w0v2s in a vented box and you could only feel the bass. There wasn't much sound to it. But my single 12" w1v2 blew it out of the park.

I recommend this woofer to anybody. Its a 130 bucks worth of pure enjoyment. I bought one used for a subsitute until my w3v3 gets here. Wow? Awesome. I know they recommend 1.75 but My box is a 2 cubic foot slot ported enclosure tuned @32hz. This woofer is blowing me away beyond expectations. IT ABSOLUTELY rumbles the LOWS with sound quality ALL DAY and THUMPS really hard and clean also. Not to mention im powering it @ 4 ohms with about 400-600 rms... Begs for more in this box, even though its above air spec. BUY!

All JL Subwoofers that I have owned work great. I have a 13" JL subwoofer in my GMC Jimmy. Two 10" JL subwoofers in my Chevy truck. Two 12" subwoofers in my 1967 Mustang. Very satisfied ! Lots of bang for your bucks.
