I would definately recommend this speaker. I replaced 2 Fosgate 10's with this one 10, and the JL definately hits harder and has cleaner, crisper bass.

Review written by Supersexycobalt from Pasadena, Ca.
I purchased 2 of these subs from a friend who wanted to sell them. I purchased them due to the fact that I accidentally punctured one of 2- Old School 12" Soundstream EXACT subwoofers (really good SQ). I new going in that the SQ would not be on the same level as the Soundstreams but I was actually surprised that they sound as good as they do. They are not for the purist but what they lack in SQ, which is not much they make up for in output. For amplification I am using a Zapco Reference 500.1 *500 watts at two ohms mono* Believe it or not they are louder than my 2 Soundstream 12" subs. They are still not broken in yet but for 10's they hit really hard. Nice balance between SQ/SPL. Good stuff JL.

I have two of these in a sealed built to spec box for these subs. I have a JL 500/1 amp running them and it hits really really hard. I would get these, for the price and the name, you can't beat it.

i have 2 of these in my 300 they are in a home built box they are very clean and one of these hits harder than my old jlw12v_2 but with two of them its amazing i only have about 250 watts going to each sub and you can tell they need a lot more but if you are willing to spend the money to bang with some class get some of these

I had this sub pushed at 200 rms at 4 ohms, and it sounded great but not loud. To take advantage of the sub really buy a good deck, or eq. This sub sounds clean if you power and tune the amp properly, at the price here you can't go wrong. I would compare this to a alpine type s, it doesn't have a boomy sound, again sounds clean, and at only at 200rms you can safely power it all day and listen to music with out getting it to hot. Overall this is the cleanest sub I have ever heard, beside's a w7 and at 1/4 the cost or less. This sub would hit's extremely hard if you add more power to it, thats why I now have a 10w3v3 2ohm. One more thing is that its svc and it's so easy to hook up, no more worries about dvc wiring, it's simple, clean looking, clean sounding, and worth every penny.
Will I be a returning customer, absolutely! Was I happy with the process and sale, yes indeed! I appreciated Sonic as a provider and the site is very friendly so it was easy for me to find what I was looking for and was most informative. You cant go wrong with Sonic.
