Digitally Optimized So You Don't Have To

For years JL Audio has produced subwoofers with highly accurate, tight and clean bass reproduction. For many years more JL will continue its legacy of hard hitting bass and the WX series is no exception. These woofers work great in smaller more compact enclosures which saves trunk space and gives that bass we have grown to love. This woofer utilizes elevated frame cooling techniques to deliver cold air above the top plate of the voice coil helping to resist breakdown in extreme situations. A polypropylene cone has been used for durability and a foam surround provides exceptional excursion for a woofer of this size. Proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA) modeling gives a highly accurate computer reproduction of the woofers physical behavior. This helps JL Audio engineers analyze the distortion mechanisms of the speakers and make adjustments to improve loudspeaker behavior. For reduced distortion, improved performance and stellar sound quality the WX series woofers have it made!

Great sub for the money

The following review is for 12WXv2-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Bought this to match up with the single 12" that I already had. You cant go wrong for this price. Im running 2 of these off a JL 250/1 amp at 2ohms and they hit hard. Not OMG I blew out the windows hard but hard enough to shake every little bit of the car.

These hit decent for the price

The following review is for 12WXv2-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I've been running one for about a year now. Have it hooked up to a small JL Audio JX250/1 mono amp. The combo hits harder than other systems I have built with double the power. I liked the sub so much I just bought another one so I can drop the amp down to 2 ohms.

I know there are tons of subs out there that are probably much better than this, but for under $100, this is a great value sub that plays like it costs twice the price.

Why hate a jl of any kind

The following review is for 12WXv2-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These subs are perfect starters especially in my small compact car. I hooked 2 of them up and they bump all the lows and mids to perfection. I run a lot of power to them and they show no signs of letting up. They can be pushed passed there max to be honest. I run almost 1300 watts through the pair in a sealed enclosure. They hit hard and loud. If you do buy these, buy a pair and be prepared.

Great speaker for the price

For an economical build, the woofers are great. They provide great punch and great amount of low end. I highly recommend these for anyone looking to improve the volume and dynamics of thier sound system.

Overall good sub

I think this is one of the best entry level subs there is. I bought this with a low budget and was really suprised how hard one hits. I have a 1999 silverado 1500 ext. cab and it sounds really nice. Not somethin i would recommend if you plan on lettin the whole neighborhood hear you though.

Inexpensive model but great quality

JL has always been one of my favorites and this base model is amazing. I have just one in my Pt Cruiser and I thought that it wouldnt hit as hard since its not a 500rms or more sub but this one sub shakes the whole car when its just half power. Right now I have connected to it an Rockford fosgate R-150-2. I plan to put another one in so i would have 2 subs with a R500. I cant say this for sure but im pretty sure this sub pushes alot harder than some subs that are 500 or more rms

great subs great price

If your looking for the best deal on some good sounding subs your search is over. I'm using one in a 1.8 cu ft ported box from Sonic and i was surprised at how good this thing sounds for 50 bucks. I'm giving it 250 watts.
