Wire

This wire is silver tinned IFC and is true to spec. Heavy duty jack and a high strand count for easy installation. Best wire I have ever purchased.

Great product for your $

Its pretty good package for installing amplifier i recommend this if you're looking for good wires for your system

nvx ftw

Nvx is my go to manufacture for everything all there products give u the most bang for your buck

A+

Quality wire, built to spec. Highly recommended. I used NVX wires and accessories for all of the electrical in my car. Did the big 3, have about 40FT of 0/1 gauge NVX wire and 50FT of the 16 gauge speaker wire for all of my speakers. Very happy with the results.

great speaker wire

Excellent speaker wire an is true 12 gauge very durable and flexible gave my subs the power it needs I was impressed with it

Good stuff

Ok they say "wire is wire" if that were the case monster, streetwire and a few others wouldn't be so expensive. This review is based on response of professional installers. My guys were so impressed with how NVX makes my system sound.

works well

this cable is super durable!!! i recommend it its high quality just as stated... it is a little difficult to cut through and to size or strip but it has a double jacket allowing for long life and will take most any type of regular wear and tear

Great stuff

No disapointments at all great speaker wire I love Nvx equipment

Great Wire

I ordered this because I wanted to try this brand. I was surprised at the quality of the product. Arrived fast to. I recommend this brand to anyone who wants good, flexible and reliable wiring.

Nice speaker wire.

I bought 25' of this 12 gauge speaker wire to wire up my mids and tweets. This is good size wire with a nice thick jacket on wire and was perfect for this application. I would recommend this speaker wire to anyone.

Amazing

I have two of these with a JBL 1200 watt Grand Touring amp and a capacitor. These subs hit HARD. Gotta dynamat the trunk with two of these. Complete requirement. Love them, sound great, gets some real attention (good and bad (5O)) and I will transfer them to every car i own.

The best subs I've owned.

I don't have these ones I have a pair of 12W3v2-4 that I bought from a pawn shop for $100 two years ago. I have them in a ported box powered by a 1100 watt class d Sony Xplod and they pound. Now if the sub doesn't say JL on it I won't buy it.

w3 best sub ever

Just installed 2 in my car, hit super hard strongly recommend.

Deep, Clean, Kickin' subwoofer!

Alright now when I go to reviews, I want to know the variables (car make, box type, box size, etc.). Before I go any further this subwoofer is wonderful and a pleasure to listen to. Now i shall explain WHY it's a great woofer. First off the variables: I have 2 of these subs wired to 2 ohms to an Audioque 1200.1D (both subs are getting about 450ish watts rms, and I don't even know if it's even that because my gain is turned down a bit) in a ported box, one slot in the middle. I don't know the specs on the box exactly, but i do know that the box size and port size are selling the subs short. EVEN with a prefab ported box, these hit accurately, clean, pretty deep, and they don't flutter or boom too much. I have my subsonic on to try and decrease that. Have in mind guys I'm a guy that likes his metal, rock, and music with a kick drum. Hear me out! these subs play any type of music accurately, and that's in a PORTED box. That alone is remarkable to me. And it's a cruddy ported box too! lol. Get these subs! buy them, hug them, love them, whatever you gotta do. Also if you can, get a custom built ported box and get ready to be blown away. These kick. Now for some physical characteristics of the car. I just got them tonight so i haven't observed much but i do know that my rearview mirror is absolutely useless. when i try and readjust it, goes right back down within 3 seconds. I drive a BUICK REGAL year 2000 for your information. I know i packed a lot of info in this review, but i'm very picky, hard to please in certain areas. So being a reviewer, I want to give a review that I'd want to see. As a multi-instrument musician, audiophile, bass lover, and just an average guy trying to have some summer fun with a good set of subs, these are now my go to subs. I've owned or heard sets of Diamond D3 12, Audiopipe TXX-be12, Kicker CVR 12, Power Acoustik Fubar 12, Rockford Fosgate T1 12 (that was a single), 3 Image Dynamic 12s v2, Rockford Fosgate P2 12, Sundown E Series 12, Powerbass L12, Kicker Comp, Kicker L7 15 (single), and probably more that I can't think of, but these give every sub set a run for their money! And beat out 90% of the subs I've heard (majority of them are listed above). Just goes to show you don't need a set of 1000 watt rms subs to bump, you just need a set of these ;) Hopefully this helped. Take Care!

Best deal on the market

I have tried a lot of subs over the last 5-6 years since beginning to enjoy car audio. Some of the names I have used include Infinity Reference and Kappa, Sony GTR, Alpine Type R, Memphis M-Class and reference, and Kenwood Excelon. These are easily the BEST SQ sub for your money, and among the top subs on the market period. They are not going to make you an SPL champion, but they provide more than adequate low-end punch when powered properly.

Pros:

* Awesome quality - right off the bat you can see the time and effort JL puts into their products. Fit and finish is superb, and the clean look of the cone just made me fall in love. Installed in a box with black carpet and it is the stealthiest, sleekest looking thing you'll ever see.

* Superior SQ - the most accurate sub of any I have ever owned. Have a single 12w3 in a 1.3CI selaed box running off a Hifonics BRZ1200.1D (450 RMS output, 50W under RMS) and it does not miss anything. Nearly perfect bass reproduction in all varieties of music (I listen to anything from dubstep, to classic rock, to blues - very eclectic music style and this sub handles it).

*Untouchable value - you will not get quality and SQ like this anywhere else for 180 bucks. Period.

Cons:

*Not as loud as some others - to me, this is not a con. If you know what you are buying, this isn't an issue. This is made to be an SQ sub, and to me the SPL is absolutely adequate. Don't fool yourself, the w3 gets LOW, but it is not going to flex your trunk really hard or crack windows. In my hatchback, it rattles all of my mirrors as well as any change in the center console when turned up. It has even loosened the bolts inside my door skins that hold the hand rests to the door to the point I will need to take the doors apart and tighten them.


To sum it up, BUY THESE. A product doesn't get 4.9 stars on 39 reviews for no reason. Put the right amp on this product and you'll have a system that anyone from a complete beginner to a seasoned audio pro can appreciate. I have mine slightly under powered, in a sealed box and it is so amazing I wouldn't even bother with anything else. I never thought to try one until I heard them at a local shop and decided to research them a little more. Just as an estimation, I could probably give this sub 100-150 more watts and I think it would handle it perfectly fine.

JL has COMPLETELY outdone themselves, and this is far and away one of the top values in car audio history. No vehicle I own from now on will have anything but JL W3's in it.

Awesome!

Great pricing and sounds excellent!

Nice sub

Whatever i paid for the sub, was definitely worth it great sub. I dont even have a very strong amp powering it, i have a decade old cheap pyramid sub, and i still dont have this thing cranked up all the way. sound quality is good.

ahhhh jl bass head

These things are beast i have 3 of them in a custom sealed box in a honda and let me tell you people here me for at least 5-10mins before i pull around the corner. I'm running a 2600 hifonics d class mono on them and they are eating the power with no problem.

Great Wire

This is great quality, thick wire. It's very flexible and handles decent power.

By Corey on April 27, 2015 Verified purchase

Quality product

I have had this sub for around 2 months now and i freaking love it. This sub hits so hard and is so loud. The sub is in a 12" slot port box. the box's volume is 1.8 and it is super deep in sound and hits every note. I have a friend with a type-r running at 1ohm and 1400rms and this sub is just as loud running at 4ohms and 500rms.

Good sub

Had two of these in a ported box and they hit hard. They cant really handle the real low bass notes but for all other ranges they handle it perfect. These subs can take a lot of power so hook them up to a big amp.

Very high quality wire!

I needed some high quality wire for my new sub install. This wire did not disappoint. Very high strand count, flexible and jacketing was very high quality. Don't hesitate to use this in a high end install.

By Rob on December 10, 2023 Verified purchase

Perfect fit

I thought this box would be kinda bad when i purchased but its holding about 700+ watts at bay with the Nvx vsw dual 4 ohm sub. When i inspected the box before sub install I had more confidence with it. I did upgrade the terminal cup since i was running over 700+ watts to a 600 watt sub. Its holding up good so far and matches very well with the nvx vsw.

By Dizzy on December 24, 2023 Verified purchase

w3v3-4

Very clean and hard hitting. Gets a pretty good abundance of low-bass for a 12' subwoofer. Not the most stylish sub but... if your talking sound, its great.

Good box

Box sounds great, have it paired with a JL 12W0v3-44

man for the price that I paid and quality of this product couldn't get any better

By rafael on September 17, 2015 Verified purchase

Just As Impressive As 4GA

I purchased this along with the 4GA NVX XW4BL20. You can see my 'With the Best of 'Em' review on that page.

This wire is on the same level as the 4GA.

It too has the nice wound bundles of wires, albeit only 3 for the smaller gauge, but the same quality is apparent.

The two wires separate with a little force, and it does not tear the shielding off either pos/neg wire.

Shielding is easy to snip and strip without losing (m)any strands of wire.

This and the 4GA variants have left a wonderful impression on me. Do yourself a favor and don't look any further for power/speaker wire.

By Robert on August 18, 2015 Verified purchase

JL is the best!

I have owned this woofer for more than 3 years now. The sound quality is unbelievable, the output is amazing and i think the look is clean and sexy. Nothing but good things to say about this woofer.

wow !!! the sound is truely a piece of heaven

Okay I've had numerous subs in the past few years from SPL to now SQ now to give this sub an amazing review I have to compare it to subs in its class . I bought a Type R three years ago from Sonic and I absolutely loved that sub but the problem I came into contact with was there was not a very good low bass note. I tune all my subs to specs of the manufacturer. The type are is awesome loud and can handle great power but I recently bought a w3 from a car audio shop in the area as im trying to with a sq setup to be honest I love this sub more than my Type R I have it tuned where JL says and have the perfect JL amp on it. To be honest this sub has hooked me into JL for life. My brother now has the Type r and it is still pumping which is impressive considering I had the subs on 800 rms on a cea certified amp. Yeah the sub is expensive for the watts but the sound that comes out of this sub is amazing it can play country rap rock and rock and will even hit the low notes from slowed down music ....if you want the best of both world sound quality and a sub that will punch you in the stomach get this sub I cant write enough about it !!!!!! JL you make amazing products keep it up I can't wait for my C5 components to come in and make my car an audiophiles dream !! *****

jl audio w3v3-4

my brother has 2 of these they will please so much. the best 12'z you could ever get two of these will make you smile one will to if u thought about stop think and get them.

Hard hitting sub

Had two of these bad boys in a custom built box and couldn't be happier.. They hit every bass note with precision.. And as always no one can beat SonicElectronix prices!

tremendous sound

I have just one of these in a crappy looking box so people just laugh when they see it in my trunk. When i turn it on, i get cash offers on the spot. AMAZING for all types of music. If you can find them used, grab them, otherwise the price isnt too bad on them anymore.

JL Audio W3's

These are one of the best subs on the market. Thay can handle way more than their rated power. I haven't heard a sub that plays more clear than JL Audio.

Best value

The w3 have made my car audio what it is today. If it wasn't for them I could not accomplish what I have. I recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a great sound in their vehicles...

Awesome

This subs are amazing... I have two in a probox and they hit hard. i would highly recommend this subs, yeah they are a lil expensive but they worth it.

NVX XWS1225

good wire , it works good, i like,it free with purchase

By Robert on January 11, 2017 Verified purchase

NVX= Quality. End of story

I'm currently switching my entire system over to NVX. I've purchased all the wiring, subs, box, and sound deadener and have yet to be unimpressed. Do yourself a favor.....just buy NVX and quit wasting your time and money.

Would never buy anything other than JL

Bought a w3 a while back for my chevy blazer. It hits hard and it has the cleanest sound of any sub i've ever heard. My friend has 2 12 inch kickers in his blazer and my 1 12 inch jl sounds just as loud. I listen to rock and rap and it sounds great on both. I would highly recommend this sub to anyone.

Awesome Sound!

I hooked up a Crunch P1400.2 amp to 2 of these and they are the best so far!

great quality, no joke.

Solid...

Well built sub box and looks great too. For the price, you cant go wrong.

Very good speaker

1. Very good sound quality
2. Too expensive
3. 300 Real RMS power
4. same good for sealed and ported enclosure

OUTSTANDING

I have two of these and they are the best speaker i ever owned. Clean clear and deep. Just bought a JL Audio 500/1v2 and can't wait to hook it up.

Decent for the price

Looks good, works good however the glue on the carpet could be better. It's been in my car for a few weeks now and I checked some things earlier and the carpet is already peeling.

By Ken on September 30, 2022 Verified purchase

Great Sound Quality

I have 2 of these subs hooked up to a JL Audio JX1000/1D and they sound amazing. Without a doubt they are the cleanest subs I have ever heard. When comparing it to my friend's Alpine Type R, the W3 is noticeably not as loud, however, it is noticeably cleaner and goes deeper on all songs.

Crazy Good

I have previously owned Kicker L7's and CVR's and i got two of these and they sound better and SLAM! Really glad i purchased these.

Awesome

Such a good wire.... Flexible.... Nicely insulated and right on point with the price.

By Jonathan on February 10, 2020 Verified purchase

good wire

true sizing , double insulated , looks and feels good. also stays tight after being stripped back.

Great Product/Excellent Value

Very flexible for such a thick wire which made it easy to run through the car. Used this to rewire my subs, old wire needed to go. Subs sound cleaner and a bit louder. Great speaker, I will be getting the 16 gauge to run my mids and highs. Highly recommend NVX wiring of amy kind.

By Rizzlers on June 10, 2016 Verified purchase

Great seller

Shipped fast. Great sound. Would buy again.

Full Excursion

I just bought 2 of these beasts an put them with a kewnwood 1,000 watt 2 channel amp that i also bought off of here and i put them in the back of a 1995 blazer an they hit. I was heard almost 1 an 1 tenth mile away great buy

great wire

this is an affordable wire that's great quality. The sound quality is awsome

By Gerald on January 12, 2017 Verified purchase

Surprisingly nice cable

Cable was 12 AWG as advertised. The jacketing consists of a soft-touch frosted rubber that's about an eight of an inch thick with a rounded side and a squared side. They are plenty flexible and the thick jacketing gives a little piece of mind that these would be able to handle moderately sharp corners under my carpet.

Really the only downside was splitting the pair with my fingers to separate the two cables so I could strip them. Doing that a dozen times got pretty old because they're stuck together well

Great Sub for the Price.

First of all, I LOVE it. For one of the medium to lower-line subs in their collection, JL Audio has outdone themselves. Sub emits clean and hard pounding (But not overpowering) bass even with just one sub. I highly recommend picking this up if you want clean and balanced overall sounding bass rather than having loudness to showboat :P

Always loved JL

Have Two in my 07 silverado Crewcab. Hits the lows amazing. Have these housed in a sealed downfiring box custom built to spec. Definitely going to need to dynamat my roof to get more SQ.
overall great sub well built and clean bass

Cool wire

jl 12w3v3

I love my jls, couldn't have been happier, pump them all day long, never hear a pop!

Amazing

This sub is outstanding, it hits very clean, very fast and bumps hard. It does a good job of rattling off my mirror with just one in my car!!!

very satisfied

was very pleased with all products and pricing.i am very satisfied

Premium Wire

Very good product. I was looking for a #12 gauge quality speaker wire for my home stereo system. This worked perfectly. The length sent was as expected and delivery was fast and prompt.

Notorious

This sub hits HARD! I have it powered by a zx500 amp in a sealed enclosure.

When I talked to the sales department at sonic, they called this sub "notorious" for it's hard hitting and clean bass. They were right (as usual). So glad I went with the best. The w3 really is the best out there.

INSANE

I have three 12 inch JL w3v3's in a custom ported box with a JL audio A1800 amplifier on them. Best brand and speaker out on the market, period.

awsome subs

these are the best subs ive ever bought. ive had countless subs in the past and nothin has compared to these especially for the value.the bass is clean and they dont take a whole lot of power, i have mine in a cab through box in a 96 silverado and it pounds!!!!

INSANE BASS!!!

My friend just installed two of these 12inch W3's in his truck underneath the seat, and let me tell you these things can bump. He only has the amp turned up half way and you can not even see out of his rear view mirrors. Get these if u do not have much room. YOU WONT REGRET IT !!!

JL Audio 12W3V3-4

The JL audio 12W3 is simply an impressive sub, it looks great with its simple yet modern design. The push terminals were a breeze to use yet held the wire in place firmly, and as for sound, That’s the subs most impressive feature, You get an abundance of low bass from a fairly small speaker & enclosure using minimal power. The sub hits hard and clean.

Awesome wire

Very good wire, but what is the purpose of the square edge?

Great!

This subwoofer is EXTREMELY reliable and one of the cleanest sounding subs I have ever heard. But trust me..with enough power this subwoofer will SLAM. I have 2 hooked up to a 2400 Watt MTX amp and It flexes all the metal on the car. Its great (:

I am very pleased with this product

I recently built my own subwoofer with the JL 12W3v3-4. I was impressed with how easy it was to drill the holes using the outer ring.

It looks great and sounds absolutely terrific!!

Totally Awesome

These subs are amazing. Their always crisp and rebound immediately, no matter what I throw at them. Having the JL Slash V2 powering them is the way to go, as its designed specifically to push 2 of the JLW3's.

Hip hop, rap, reggae, rock, drum and base: these subs enhance anything and everything.

This is what bass sounds like

I purchased two of these subs and put them in a Dual 12" Turbo Pro Box and these JLs bump!! The bass comes out clean and crisp in any genre of music. I'm running two JLs off a Kenwood 1000 watt amp and they pound!! Great buy!!

Very nice

This wire is top-notch. I’m not an expert, but the quality is the best I’ve seen.

By Wayne on July 31, 2020 Verified purchase

Quality sound + extremely loud

I had a Rockford Fosgate P3 before I had this sub. The rf was a 10 inch in a sealed inclosure. I built a ported box for this w3v3-12 sub according to the specs on JL's website. This thing absolutley slams. I have it hooked up to a kenwood 7205, running at 500watts rms. I have yet to come across anything that hits the low notes as clean as this sub does.

To put this in perspective, i played wiz khalifa's song, on my level, It has some pretty nasty low notes that not many subs can hit. The low notes are so low that not many people can hear them, Well, let me tell you, this sub hit it with a passion, nice and loud.

Perfect fit

High Quality, but Little Power

I owned two of these subs and must say that the quality was of these subs were pretty amazing. I wanted them to play kinda loud too, but didn't have enough capacity to do the job. I'd probably spend money on something else that can hold more power and have louder sound.

Wire

Good speaker wire use it for my car audio looks like it was made with good material would recommend 9/10

Great wire

I usually use knukonceptz oxygen free copper wire, but this wire came free with my subwoofer enclosure I ordered. The insulation is really nice, and the black/blue color coding is so much easier to identify than the color coding on knukonceptz speaker wiring.

Oxygen free copper, loads of strands, quality insulation and look. Would easily buy this stuff again

I previously owned a 12w1v3 and that was pretty good..but this 12w3v3 blew it away...it is what bass, reverb, eq, and music is supposed to sound like!!!!!

I'm just waiting for them to start producing head units so I can get one and then my entire system will be exclusively NVX! You hear me NVX?!

Great Value

I purchased a sub and received the wire as a bonus. It would still be a great deal at regular price. It is ofc speaker wire . It is extremely flexible and easy to work with . NVX has not failed me yet with any product of theirs that I have tried so far.

This wire has a tough sheath but amazingly flexible. Good wire that works great.

Tremendously Awesome Subwoofer

JL Audio makes nothing but top-of-the-line equipment, and this 12w3v3 is no exception. I have two 8w3v3's in the doors of my 2005 Mustang, and those are so much better than what I was expecting as well, so I decided to get the 12" W3. I built a custom vented box made out of 3/4" MDF with double thick MDF on the front side with about ~2 cubic feet of air space. Believe it or not, I built this for Home Theater Use with a BASH 500W amp powering it, and wow. I LOVE THAT VISCERAL FEELING!! JL Audio fan for life. Thanks, SonicElectronix, for also having the lowest price!

These Things Are Smooth

My Cousin recently purchased a w3 and man these things hit hard and are very tight and smooth even at higher volumes. Barely any distortion at all when at high volumes.It also takes deep notes VERY well for a 12 inch woofer. I totally recomend this if you want a smooth sounding woofer for everyday use. I plan to buy 2 of these very soon.

Durable

I'm replacing my existing JL Audio 12" W3 subwoofer with this model. Why? The original is 17 (yes, seventeen) years old. It pounded out incredible bass until its last day. Anyone else have that kind of quality experience?

Great product!

If you like tight and clean bass this is the way to go.

Can not handle 500 watts RMS

Have owned two of these 500 watt rms 4 ohm SVC subwoofers. Both were tuned with an SMD DD1. Both were receiving 500 watts rms from my Kenwood 500 watt RMS amp at 4 ohms. Voice coil burnt out on both of them. Subwoofer sounds good but can't handle rated power at all. I have contacted JL Audio in Florida to have their techs recheck the specs of this subwoofer in order for people to be made aware. Oh yeah, the subwoofer was in a custome-made ported enclosure built to JL Audio specifications.

One of the best sub wires out there

Made of very good quality and strong materials. Works great with my RF T1S1 subwoofer.

Great subs for the money.

Used two of these in a bandpass. Dimensions are 2.5 ported, 1.5 sealed. XD 1000/V2 amp pushes them. They pound.

By ryan on April 19, 2017 Verified purchase

Sounds good I guess

I haven't had time to tune the sound for the sub. But my initial impression is the sub is quite good. I have them hooked up to a JL JX500/1D amplifier in a single sealed box. They hit hard even at 300W RMS, and can get quite loud.

By Corander on October 21, 2015 Verified purchase

Clean bass

I have these I didn't buy from sonic,but these are clean sounding subs. If you want SQ then this is the way to go. They can go over in the SPL a little but SQ is were they shine. I have mine on a phoenix gold tantrum 1200.1 2 of them in a 2003 gran marquis with spec built box sealed and they sound awesome! !!

LOVE JL!!!

JL Audio is a brand that everyone has heard of and even though they are priced higher than a lot of other subs on the same level the Quality and Experience of a premium brand is something JL Audio Excels in and it shows .. Would Highly recommend to anyone who wants Quality.

By Charles on January 31, 2020 Verified purchase

JL Audio 12W3v3-4

The sub runs at 4ohms so my amp doesn't draw as much power as it would at a lower ohm. This makes less of a strain on my electrical system. This sub takes up less trunk space and is very clear with no distortion. I went from two 12" Memphis mojos to one 12w3 and I am very impressed.

people make no sense

first off this is not nearly as clean as my image dynamics or even my stillwater kicker subs this is not that impressive and for the price dont buy this at all dont let reviews fool you buy a sundown sa trust me its not that amaxing clean or loud very dissapointed veryyyyy

Great sounding bass that's tight !! Love it!

JL audio has always been a name you can trust when it comes to audio. This 12" subwoofer is no exception wether you install it in a sealed or ported box. I've used both and with the Belva 1.5 sealed box from Sonic Electronix this single subwoofer thumps at any volume. I have a JL audio HD 900/5 amplifier powering a set of Jl components up front and JL coaxials in the rear with the single 12W3V3-4 subwoofer in the trunk, and it's one of the best sounding syatems and my car is 20 years old. I would recommend this subwoofer to anyone that likes tight, crisp lows, with audiophile quality.

Great speaker, installed a pair of them in my 19 Scat Pack. Hits great with the JD1000 powering them.

Larger than what Crutchfield installed

Like the title, had a previous 500watt sub installed with 16awg low voltage wire and this filled the void I was missing out of my subwoofer.

Superior quality!

This wire is excellent, top quality coming from Sonic Electronics house brand! The strand count and craftsmanship is the upper echelon when it comes to car audio wire!

Awesome wire for awesome price per foot

Everywhere I price for 12 gauge was just getting out of hand. I needed some for my jl subs I got. Let say separating them to single strands was a breeze for my install and jacket was nice and thick for protection flexibility was amazing to bend them pretty much into a u shape if you needed to. And ofc selling point then that cca.

Quality 12 gauge.

Real 12 gauge OFC cable. great value for the money. I typically use KnuKonceptz and the nvx is just as good.

Sounds amazing

I had w0’s and upgraded to w3’s on my dual 12” sub box! Can tell a huge difference, the bass hits a lot cleaner!
