Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sound

Great sound, deep bass. Good upgrade to factory speakers. Quality you won't regret.

Nice sounding value speaker

I'm powering these speakers off a Pioneer P4000DVD and they sound very good for under $100. I had to set the high pass filter at 80hz but that is pretty typical for running off a deck.

If you want bass, I would avoid these. You should have a sub or at least 6x9s in the back to complement these speakers.

Excellent Choice

I installed four of these in my wife's Toyota 4-Runner to replace the OEM speakers. The sound quality is impressive to say the least. The only equipment powering them is a JVC KW-XG700 with no external amp. As already stated here, the quality of these speakers is excellent, complete with rubber cover magnets that are huge. After installation was complete I performed the "how much can they take test" and was impressed at how loud I was able to crank it before the sound quality degraded. Bass is outstanding for speakers this size and the highs are nice also. These are a great choice if you're looking for a nice improvement over your factory units.

Pure eargasm

this sub is a dream when it comes to tuning and stealth enclosures. I put this in an audio integration's sub box i had made for my mazda 3 2006. just for this sub and it hits nice. rock, hip hop, orchestral you name it and this sub will give you that low end you have been craving. IF you buy this sub just grab a nice 500 watt rms amp.

Awesome!

I had it for 6 months, it sounds great for the cost.

Awesome!

Installed in 2000 Dakota Quad Cab paired with JVC KD-AR8500 and JL VR650CSI in the front. Think it sounds GREAT!! Metalhead!!

jl w3

I really enjoy this sub. It has a crisp clear sound and hits quite hard. I listen to a lot of rock and the JL 10W3 has no trouble keeping up with the double bass. I would buy the JL w3 again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice upgrade to their car audio system.

Good quality sub

I really like this sub, and would recommend it. I have one installed in my Audi A4, powered by a kicker ix amp and using a Pioneer aftermarket head unit. I initially tried installing it using the factory head unit, using a line out converter, and was not happy so "had" to upgrade. Having the extra subwoofer adjustments were very helpful in getting it to sound the way I wanted. I custom made the box it is in using the specifications in the instructions. For my novice ears it handles the lows very well. It is capable of producing bass you can feel even with the head unit volume set very low. Although I believe the manual says it can handle frequencies up to 250 Hertz, it seems to perform best for me with the crossover set at about 100 Hertz, anything higher then that seems to get distorted.

JL Audio subwoofers

these subs absolutely rock. great bang for your buck. would definitely recommend these

decent speakers for the price

replaced rear factory toyota speakers with these. huge difference in sound quality and distortion/volume. used with scosche brackets for 6.5s and metra wire adapters. install wasnt too crazy. pleased with the purchase; it was either these or Alpine Type Rs. powering them with an Alpine ktp445u and they complement my dual 8 inch JL W3 ported enclosure very well. if your looking for good speakers and working within a budget, go for these. if you can spend a little more, id go for C3's or C5's (if you can amp them).

Best speaker ever!!! while it was working!

This speaker is great, but after 6 months it busted.

Exceeded by expectations

I have two of these Subwoofers in my 2013 F150 Supercrew in a custom ported box under the back seat tuned to 36 hertz. They sound amazing on every type of music played. I am running them wired at 2 ohms to my Rockford Fosgate T500 Amp. Hits lows very well, can get very deep. I would recommend these to anyone! Just give them the 500 RMS and they will kick.

jl w3v3-2

I like it sounds good and can hold all the power that it says it can while sounding good. Will buy more like this. Hits hard and best for the $$. Sonic Electonixs shipped fast as crap and was at my door in just a few days, not months like others, Ex.( h*-** ***** ) ...

insane!!!

These subs are amazing, I truly believe you can not possibly find any better in this class. . Fosgates are great and I'll always love them but these two jls blew my buddy's fosgate p3s away. I'm running two of them on a jlx1000-1d amp turned barley a quarter of the way up so only roughly 150 ish watts rms (still breaking them in) in a sealed .65cu box for a 2010 chevy silverado ltz ext cab and oh my gosh they pound like no other could! Definitely beyond a doubt worth every penny if not more. Only down fall to these subs is if you're trying to find a sub that has a cool design these are pretty straight forward and plain. But I'm still going to give it a 5 star because these subs need more attention

Good sub

I'm running my W3 with a Kenwood 1000w mono channel, and it's more than enough. I have my amp set all the way up, and my gain is at 3 db and it's the perfect amount of bass. It can get very loud and I haven't heard any distortion.

First day I had it, I showed my girlfriend at her house, and when I got it as loud as I could, he neighbors came out angry. I also showed another friend and he commented that his 2 Fosgate 12p2s sound like garbage compared to this. For the price, this is te best 10" you will find by far.

great sub

i have had this subwoofer in my car for six months now, and i could not be happier with it. i built a custom fiberglass box for it, and stuck to the exact volume specified by JL, which is the way to go for any build. It sounds beautiful, and will put a lot of other subwoofers to shame. keep in mind though, this is a 2 ohm sub, and needs an amplifier that can handle 2 ohms. my first amp for this driver was a piece, and it would constantly go into protect mode when this sub started to rock n roll. Absolutely worth the money.
JL kicks Butt!!

Great speakers!

These are some of the best speakers I've heard--ever! They match up all the frequencies very accurately. They're rated at 100 watts max. only but if you have a head unit that pumps 50 watts X 4 (@ 20 watts RMS, give or take), these'll be perfect for you. They're rated at 60 watts RMS, so pretty much any HU that you match them up with will do the job nicely. However, if you're planning on hooking up an amp you're probably better off getting something else (i.e., Infinity Kappa), since these babies pump up 91 dB with the head unit alone! I actually replaced a pair of Kenwoods for these ones because of their better quality of sound--and I was not disappointed. The manufacturing quality is also remarkable! I've never seen speaker magnets all covered with rubber. They're still 6" even but JL Audio makes a 6.5" also of the same specifications, which might fit some cars better.

Awesome speakers

I have these installed in a 05 dodge dakota quadcab and man they are freaking loud i got 2 fosgate in the back and it doesnt compare to these these speakers with an amp will blow your ears, mine are just installed in the factory plugs but would def recommend

Great speakers!

Give a rich sound whit no distorsion very good speakers!

Excellent

They sound amazing and can handle the power with no distortion.

By Ken on July 5, 2015 Verified purchase

Great value for money.

Pros: Great looking amplifier, and it has very clean sound with good specifications. Nice and compact, and fits under front seats very easily. Great value for money.

Cons: It doesn't have bass boost feature.

Great all in one amp

This amp is fantastic, power is true as advertised and the sub section is stable to 1 ohm. It's really tiny and fits perfectly under the seat of my 2013 Mazda CX-5. I have it running off an audiocontrol LC6i and powering my OEM speakers for now and a single 12" MB Quart PS3 sub at 4 ohms. I get a clean, noise free signal from my factory head unit. Everything on the amp seems solid, and it's marine certified so you can use it in a jeep or a boat as well. It is capable of running all 5 channels off a single pair of RCA's if needed which makes installation very flexible. The included bass boost knob is great and there is a green light on it that is on when the amp is on. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely buy this amp again.

Good Value 5 - Channel Amplifier

Pros:
- High Efficiency: doesn't draw a lot of current, runs cool
- Compact design: makes installation easy
- Sub section very powerful: drives two JL 10s easily
- Versatile inputs: one set of preamp inputs can drive all 5 channels
- Superb Sound Quality

Cons:
- Subsonic Filter Non-defeat able
- Gain Control a little too sensitive
- Not Gold Plated Input/Output Terminals
- Crossover Controls dont have frequency markings
- No High Level Inputs (not a con for me but some might need it for OEM integration)

Great sound

I just recently brought this Polk Audio amp. It is fantastic. I installed it in my boat and it performs beyond expectations. Wish I would have bought one years ago. Easy to install and takes up very little space.

Best price out there

I asked my Buddy for the best deals on a JL sub and he told me about Sonic Electronix.com. So i checked them out, because they had the best price on the 10W3v3-2, i bought it. I was pleased with the fast delivery of my sub and with my sub. Thank you!

broke the roof support in my uptak

i had 4 of the 10W3v-2 old school. they were rated at 300 w ea. i had 2 mtx 500d's pushing them at 2 ohms. the amps were rated at 775 w. everyone who heard me thought i had 15's in my vehicle. db drag read 155.3 dbs on the meter and that was Six years ago.

Simply Amazing

It does everything i could ever dream of for a 10"

JL audio 10w3v3-2 the best subwoofer out there... : )

i bought a jl audio 10 w3 from this company its the best sub that i ever owened. it hits hard and super clear and it could handle the bass real good and for a long period of time, not like other brand subs that burned out after 15 to 20 min of hard hitting bass... i would really recommend this sub to any one that wants one 10" sub to sound like two 12"... thats the question i always get when im bumping my music " hey what kind of 12's you have in your car" i respond its only one 10 they just look very suprise... JL

Amazing 10's.

I have had 2 of these subs for 2 months now and in a slot ported box. I went through the normal breakin process. After about 2 weeks of easy listening I cranked these things up with both windows down and moon roof open all the way and oh boy was I impressed. I have had people ask if I had 2 12's or 1 15. The low bass is very impressive for 10's and the SQ is amazing. Plays rock, techno and rap without any change in SQ or SPL. BTW I have a 2008 Cobalt SS and with the back seats down or up, either way they shake my car. AMAZING SUBS!!!!

Small Amp with lots of power!

I got this as a gift to replace another 5ch amp not worth mentioning (CEA rated amps are really worth getting). Enough power to run 2 sets of Polk db6501 components and 2 10" Polk MM subs in a 1.2ci sealed box. Just make sure to tune your amp and you'll get loud clean distortion free music out of this little thing. I would highly recommend this if you're in the market for a 5ch amp.

Great sub, but wish i had gone for the DVC

I have had JL subs for as long as I can remember. I bought a set of 10" W3's around 1997 in a custom box designed for their airspace requirements, and used them in my older model BMW. They were under amped by far with a fosgate punch 500, the series after the batwing style. However these subs sounded great! I traded them with a friend and then later acquired them again, but they had been damaged, and the dust covers were ripped. So I called JL up and I seem to remember it costing me little to nothing to have them rebuilt by JL and shipped back. Once again I was rocking my JL W3's. Matter of fact, I had the same subs up until last year, 2009, so they worked solid with medium use for over 12 YEARS! and only one rebuild in between. That's why I KNEW after I let mine slip away with my old car, I had to go for a newer version. I have one SVC 2 ohm on an MTX jackhammer amp, feeding it about 300 RMS, and the sub sounds great. However, it doesn't hit quite as well as the two old ones, so i am thinking I should have gone with their DVC, especially since I wanted 1 sub. I want that 1 sub to take all the power possible, and fill up my truck with the same amount of sound as the two old subs. I will end up using this sub in a smaller setup in my wife's car and opting for a DVC 4 ohm version to fit my single 10" needs. I love JL, they are high quality and they stand by their product. If you damage one, Don't throw it away, call them and have it replaced!

Awesome

Sounds great even for how small it is. Really kicks

Very happy

I'm a nut and reviewed so many subs based on my needs and this was one of the very few the met my criteria (medium weight, solid SQ performance, could get some SPL as well, high quality)

I've had this installed in the proper sealed enclosure mated to a Rockford Fosgate Prime R500.1 amp and I'm very impressed. Its visually stunning and incredibly clean in a equally nice black carpeted box, (that I got from here I might add)

It has fantastic reproduction of low end bass. I'm feeding it a little over RMS but I have my gain set to my headunit preout voltage and for optimal listen I have the sub set to -3 (range of -15 to +15) on my head unit (Kenwood X991 - epic headunit btw).

This things hits like a high end 12" for sure. About 5 years ago I had 2 Rockford Punch ( P1 12's, 200ish rms each) in a sealed box and this 10" in a .625" cubic box simply destroys it.

I've thrown techno, rock and rap at it and it loves it all.

If I turn my head unit up to about 75% of full volume and turn the sub past -3 into +3 the pounding starts to hit you nicely. Since I've only had this sub for 1 day and about 2 listening hours I haven't cranked it but the few times I tested out +6 and +9 if felt like a punch to the back of my head and chest, mirrors shaking, loud and accurate to the tones.

Please keep in mind there are several factors you need to realize to my review.

- I have a large hatchback (RSX) so the dynamics of the hatch are in my favor when dealing with a sub.
- I have this running with a 4 gauge Rockford Amp kit. This is as good as it gets folks. High strand, true 4 gauge wires giving the power the amp needs, ground wires are 4 gauge as well, this keep voltage in the proper ranges.
- 3/4" MDF box, go with nothing less for any kind of sub, low or high end the box is the key to a subs sound.
- I have a high end headunit that allows me to control all aspects of the speakers but technologies that help it sound better.

Keep all this in mind when buying a sub.

As of right now, I can't imagine getting anything other than what I've got right now. I love this little thing, its fantastic in all the aspects I wanted it to be. Fantastic SQ with the ability to boom if you want. High quality, made in the USA!, cant go wrong here, high recommended. Beware these new V3 series are single coils, limits your options but makes it easier to hook up for noobs.

Tight !

I will sum this up fast, clean sound at 2 ohms, loud as you want it more power = louder, clean looking (one of the best i think) , easy to install svc design. I have run mtx, alpine, rf, and this sub does not sound muddy, boomy and is reliable. Over all I am impressed by jl products and will buy more becuase of the quality I have received, but they arent cheap but if you cant afford them you might as well buy quality the first time instead of buying a bunch of subs that are gonna blow up.

great amp

works great and paired with polk speakers it makes them pound hard the only thing the sub control dont seam like it really changes it much other than that it works great

Great Sub

I have it hooked up to a Eclipse XA1000 mono amp with a Rockford 1FD cap and a Eclipse CD3000 head unit. The amp runs at about 400 RMS and 640 MAX I have the low pass filter set to 80Hz, input voltage is 5v and bass boost it at 6db. All I ever get is compliments when people get in my truck and take a listen. The bass is nice and tight and if the singer has a real low voice it comes through great. Make sure you have the volume for your box right if you get a leak or have too much it will sound very muddy. People are really surprised that my nice 10" sounds better and hits harder than there cheap 12's. It costs a good bit but you get what you pay for and JL is one of the few companies left in the industry that have not cheapened the quality of there products. Other things about the setup is that it is in a closed box inside a regular cab truck firing towards the back and all the wire is Rockford Fosgate.

Awesome Speakers

These are some high quality speakers. I installed them into my 2010 Camaro SS and was blown away by their performance. JL is the best.

JLs

I had this JL for about 6 months did me right nothing beats JL audio best deep sounds ull get I have one of these and it smacks louder then two kickers. Def worth the money

10w3v3-2

Excellent product Im moving it with a class D JL A1400 mono. Best sound Q I ever heard and low frequency bass with no distortion at all.

This sounds as loud ad a 12 inch subwoofer. I highly recommend this product to every one.

One's you hear this sub, you will love it.

Great Sub for Small Encloures

I built a custom fiberglass enclosure (0.6 ft3) to fit into the inner quarter-panel area of my A4's trunk, the space is tight and the rear of the enclosure tappers off making larger subs a no-go. The relatively small magnet of this sub and basket cut-out diameter make it ideal for a small enclosure like mine. Sound was a little boomy at first, but after adding some additional poly-fill, this sub sounds great.

Awesome

This sub is definitely worth the money. Right now I'm running it with a JX250/1, and I've got the amp cranked all the way up, and it sounds great. Just a tip thought, in the instructions it says not to run the subwoofer through a passive crossover, which I read, and I knew that the pre-outs for the subwoofer from the head unit have a passive crossover setting. I plugged the subwoofer into the pre-outs for the front speakers instead, and now it sounds much better.

This is an American made product, you could feel the difference

JL quality is legendary. I installed this sub in a sealed enclosure box in my hatchback 2005 Hyundai Elantra GT. The kind of music I listen to is electro and progressive house. This sub was paired with an amp I also bought on sonic, I forget the name. It was around 600w/450 RMS. Definitely my money's worth. JL is the best, don't settle for less. Add some polyfill in the box to get even more oomph. The box pumps amazing lows and midranges, and doesn't leak out of the car to people on the street.

Im Amazed

Ive had two kenwood kfc 3012 subs with a 900 rms kenwood amp. Then 2 Alpine swr 1223d subs with a 930 rms kicker amp. Now i have just this one little sub wired to a jl audio slash v2 250/1 amp and Id take this system over either of my two older ones. Sure the alpines were by far the loudest but this little guy still kicks hard but the best part is the amazing clarity and bass response. You cant go wrong with JL audio. Skip the kenwood and kicker junk and get with the real sound equipment. U'll save yourself time looking for that perfect system, totally worth the money.

JL woofer

Product was just as advetised and works great.

Freakin Amazing!

This sub is simply amazing. This thing packs a punch. I have it set up with a Rockford Fosgate P300-1 and it is the perfect match. It has great sound quality and is very clean. I set this up in my Tiburon and it has the perfect volume. If your looking for a great sub for a small car, this is the one for you.

The best I've owned

I chose the JL sub because they have performed so well for me in the past. I have never been disappointed when choosing JL over another brand.

Great

Replaced 2 10" M-Class Memphis Audio with these and the difference in sound is unreal. Wish I would have never wasted my money on Memphis audio.

Hola
Acabo de adquirir uno de estos pequeños en una caja sellada con las especificaciones que marca el fabricante y wow! tiene un tremendo sonido muy limpio, claro, es decir un golpe compacto y nitido, estoy muy contento con este sub lo recomiendo ampliamente

saludos!

A very good subwoofer!

The subwoofer has great sound. It is also a good quality machine to have in your car.

Great speaker

I swaped out my stock 03 front speakers for these bad boys and let me tell you, these things are loud! I dont know much about speakrs but ive heard quite a few in my day and these right here surpass most of them in sound and quality. The magnet is a little big so you might have to do a little tlc for it to fit, but other then that it was a great buy and will be looking forward to buying my next pair for my rear doors. Good job sonic electronix you gained a customer.

slammin

these subs are sweet! i have them in a really small box under my 2008 chevy silverado stallion crew cab and they SLAM! better then my previous 12' kicker cvr's and these are tens in a much smaller box. the bass is tight very clean. it'll shake your mirrors windows other ppls windows.. buy them

Great Value

This is not a cheap speaker but inexpensive JL. Plastic grill and lower power handling than the next model but almost half the price? I wish we could post photos but I found a way to mount 4 speakers in the doors of my Saab 900. That's 2 pair per door. So 2 60wattt speakers means 120 is ok. I'm actually running two of these and two JL components per door with 250 watts per pair. 8 speakers in 4 channels.
I should have done this first not last the car picked up so much more bass I almost think the subs are on.
I don't want to say they are muddy but solid mid drivers. I won't say they distort because I'm overpowering then but have the gain low.
The grill is low and dished in concave which worked for me because I gave no space between the door and the seat.
Only regret was not getting the next level JL because of the power I'm pushing but happy they fit. Give more mid bass. Look cool. Reasonably priced. Probably the best choice in it's class.

By Christopher on September 15, 2017 Verified purchase

Great amp, clean sound, compact

In Toyota king cab pickup, mated to NVX door and rear speakers and Kicker loaded 10" (dual 2 ohm driver) sub that fits nicely behind driver. Once frequency crossovers were properly tuned and levels adjusted--wow! Great sound--Rock, funk, jazz (horns, cymbals, real drums, etc). Tight punchy bass, nice ringing highs with low distortion. I rewired the sub from 4 to 1 ohm to take full advantage of the amp, and limited the voltage to ensure my kids don't blow the speaker!

Instruction manual is weak--needs better section on proper amp setup. When you plug in the Subwoofer level adjust, you need to turn it up to 50% or so to begin to hear anything. Or, first leave it unplugged from the amp, set your max levels, then plug it in. If the adjuster is left turned all the way down (as mine came) you'll get NO SOUND out of the subwoofer channel. Neither the Polk nor the SonicE tech's knew to do this during our "debug" sessions! Silly, in hindsight. 3 stars for durability only because I haven't had it long enough to know.

Excellent choise

Quality crystal clear sound
Great base sound but and even better sound from the
Super tweeters
I love it and if you buy it you will love it too.

JL Audio 10W3v3-2

Great sub. I was running it with a slightly more wattage amp and it fried after a while. It can take a lot of abuse hits hard for a 10. Its a little expensive but worth it. Just make sure its not over powered.

JL Audio C2-650x

I replaced my rear speakers in my 2016 f150 with the Morel maximo ultra 602. The sound was pretty good. Then i replaced them with the jlc2650c . The jl speakers are a much better speaker the sound is crisp and very good midbass.

These speakers sound great. Crisp highs and nice bass for a 6.5 inch speaker. Well worth the money

Simply Awesome!!

These speakers rock. I love the range these speakers have. Wether you listen to classical, rock, or rap music these speakers are truly great.Sonic Electronix has the best selection, price and shipping of any online audio / video store. I would recommend these Jl audio coaxial speakers for any system looking for an upgrade in sound. Thanks Sonic

By David on June 17, 2023 Verified purchase

The best.

I have had many brands of subwoofers over the years including JL. JL is by far the superior choice. Best sounding in my opinion. You get what you pay for.

Love It!!!

I've been running this subwoofer as an upgrade for a 10W0v3-4. It's powered with a JX250 A/B amplifier. It has always sounded great. Despite have just one 10" sub, my car bumps hard. I've even been told by a couple people that my car has the best sound system they've ever heard, and I believe that to be strongly attributed to this subwoofer. Also worth noting I live in Fargo, ND, where there is large temperature fluctuation from summer to winter. In temperatures as low as -30 F I've never had any problem with this speaker. Planning on soon upgrading to a two sub system, adding another of these to my setup.

Good Sub

Decent sub, thumps and bumps. I'm fully impressed. Very compact in mounting it.

jl audio 10w3v3-2 10" 2-ohm subwoofer

this 10w3v3 sub is really nice and well made. it sounds great and I got a great deal on it here. it was on sale at $60 off the original price of $300 just because the shipping box had taken damage but the original JL box it came in was fine and the sub was fine and undamaged. it's still a brand new sub. so thanks for a great deal. I really like buying my car audio products from here. so far I've had nothing but good experiences with sonic Electronix. thanks and keep up the good work. A+

By Pres on February 19, 2021 Verified purchase

Amazing

I didn't know what to expect because I have never own JL products before in my life, but wow! This thing sounds louder than most 12s. No question just buy. It's worth every penny!!

Good subwoofer

I really like this subwoofer it sounds great, I recommend it, just get the right amp for it and you won’t regret getting this sub

Excellent Sound

What else can you say? It’s a JL high quality product. This is my third JL sub over 17 years. This is the first 10 I have bought. I have it in the trunk of a 2016 Camry. I have a sealed at spec box and a ported at spec box. For me I prefer the ported box. Cars these days do a good job at sealing off the trunk so that ported setup provides more loudness than the sealed that gets through just fine. I would recommend this product to anyone wanted that pure bass missing from a stock car setup.

By Scott on June 3, 2020 Verified purchase

Hits hard

I replaced my JL 10w0 with this and I'm very happy. I'm running a Rockford Fosgate R500x1D and the bass is strong and clean.

JL Audio 10W3v3-2

Would totally recommend this sub. Followed the factory specs on a ported box with properly suited amp and she's got my rear view mirror shaking just right. Higher maximum excursion than my previous Infinity 10" is noticeable. I can't comment on durability yet as it's still new but I love it so far.

C5 Stealthbox

I have a JL HD 900/5 p with (4) C2 series 6.5, 5.25 speakers ????, paired with my 10” W3v3 2ohm subwoofer ???? stealth box by JL on my 1999 Corvette. OMG best sound I’ve ever heard.

Best 5 channel ever owned

Absolutely as powerful as it states. I am using Focal components with this unit and a Memphis M3 12 at 2ohms. I am also using a capacitor and have nondoubt that this single all in one amp is top notch quality fairly small packge. Only hassle was mounting it. Clumsy design for screws. I ended up using 2.5 inch wood screws tonreach through corner mounts. Very happy...i have had other 5 channels before and had many issues...first time I've been happy with an all in one unit!

Good value

First time trying Polk audio for my car/truck. Very happy so far. Small in size but sounds great and has plenty of power for my four component speakers and sub. Can't give 5 stars on durability yet but very pleased on everything else.

Great quality

Sounds great without breaking the bank.

Awesome Amp

clean power in a very small footprint, amp temperature is very cool compared to other amps that I have owned, no distortion at all

Great AMP, running in Boat

I purchased this amp to replace a old amp. WOW, the Class D technology is worth every penny. I am running four 7.5" wake tower, two 10" subs, two 5.25 wake tower, six tweeters. Disclaimer, all the speakers are high efficiency speakers meaning they don't take allot to be loud. No distortion, extremely loud. I cannot believe so much power from such a small amp.

PERFECT FIT...

I WAS PREVIOUSLY RUNNING A POWERBASS 1100.5, IN MY 1992 HONDA ACCORD EX... IT KEPT OVERHEATING, AND GOING INTO PROTECTION MODE... I NEEDED A CLASS D AMP TO PROVIDE RELIABLE SERVICE... I PURCHASED A POLK AUDIO PAD5000.5 FROM AMAZON... IT LASTED ABOUT 3 MONTHS, BEFORE THE LEFT REAR CHANNEL WENT OUT... I WAS STUCK WITH A BAD AMP, BECAUSE I DIDN'T PURCHASE IT FROM AN AUTHORIZED RETAILER... AFTER FINDING OUT THAT SONIC ELECTRONIX WAS AN AUTHORIZED POLK AUDIO RETAILER, I QUICKLY ORDERED A NEW AMP... NOW, I HAVE THE PERFECT AMP TO COMPLETE MY SETUP, WITH THE ASSURANCE OF WARRANTY COVERAGE... THE AMP ARRIVED IN ABOUT 2 DAYS, AND THE SHIPPING WAS FREE... THANKS AGAIN, SONIC ELECTRONIX!!!...

Amazing Subwoofers

I absolutely love the w3v3 series of JL subs. I have used them for years without any issues. They sound amazing and hit hard when put in the right enclosures.

Great buy!

Good speakers love the sound of JL Audio. Easy to install, looks and sounds great.

Fantastic!!!

Having used a JBL 5 Channel amp for quite some time set the bar high, but the 5000.5 has met and exceeded expectation. Its compact and delivers more than adequate power to my sub and my mirus speakers. I am thrilled beyond words. Thanks Sonix Electronix!!
