JL Audio W3v3 Series Subwoofer Driver
JL Audio W3v3 Series Subwoofer Driver

Easily the best selling subwoofer driver, next to the W6v3, the JL Audio W3v3 provides phenomenal performance at moderate power levels with superb sound quality. The W3 series is in its 3rd iteration, embodying the series' pursuit for providing outstanding output and world-class sound quality. This is accomplished by utilizing a whole suite of advanced technologies originally developed for JL Audio's flagship W7. An Elevated Frame Cooling design helps in delivering enhanced power handling and sound quality. The DMA-optimized, long linear excursion capability minimizes distortion and increases output, while multiple patented technologies enhance performance and reliability. Such advances make the v3's the best sounding, most reliable W3's yet.

Although the W3v3 Subwoofer can be driven with as little as 150 Watts, for best audio performance it is recommended to run an amplifier capable of between 400 - 600 Watts of continuous power per driver, like the JL Audio XD1000/1v2 or JL Audio JX1000/1D. In addition, these subwoofers are optimized to operate in either a ported or sealed enclosure, needing only 1.50 cubic feet of air space in a sealed box and 2.25 cubic feet in a ported/vented enclosure. (Specific dimensions and figures can be found in the user manual, linked further below.)

Like many other high quality JL Audio products, all W3v3 subwoofers are built in JL Audio's Miramar, Florida factory, with extreme precision and top-notch build quality. Its this attention to detail that delivers the JL Audio quality and performance we have all become accustomed to.

JL Audio Patented Cooling Technology

JL Audio Patented Cooling Technology

JL Audio's patented Elevated Frame Cooling design delivers cool air into the heart of the subwoofer in ways no other manufacture's driver can. Purpose-engineered slots located directly above the top-plate stream air to the voice coil. In addition, the upper surface of the top-plate is directly exposed to this air flow, whereas on a conventional design it is isolated from this flow by the lower flange of the frame. This technology not only increases thermal power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression. In plain English, this driver keeps itself cool so you can play your system longer, safer and without having to worry about frying the motor.

Extraordinary Linearity and Control

Tight, Clean, Articulate Bass

DMA is JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system and is aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, W3v3 motors remain linear in motor force over an extreme range of excursion and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass. Its main catalyst is the driver's Ultra-long Voice Coil, that allows extreme linear excursion, phenomenal power handling and control, control, control.

Bangin'!

The following review is for 13W3v3-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have two of these powered by a alpine mrd-1005 1000/1 and they make my head hurt and the amp only pushes about 700 watts at 12 volts great speakers, kinda high priced, but I'm happy.

Impressive..... Period

The following review is for 13W3v3-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I've been in car audio / home theater for over 20 years, always have been a JL fan, this 13w3-4 I use in a ported box ( specsfrom JL website) I drive it with 500 watts rms in a home theater application... It hits hard similar to a 12" on steroids, and Carrys the boom of a 15" you cannot go wrong...it's tight and clean even in a ported application if the box is built right

More than enough BOOM for your buck!

The following review is for 13W3v3-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

The JL Audio 13W3 is by far one of the best subs on the market. Installed a pair in a 1970 Chevelle and even with the entire car covered in Dynamat, the body flexes and sounds like someone is trying to get out of the trunk!! Between the power handling and bass producing capabilities of this sub, I would own no other besides the W7 of course!!

LOUD!

The following review is for 13W3v3-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

My buddy has 3 of these in a blow-threw setup inside of a Ford F-150 extended cab, and the box/subs are in the bed of the truck firing into the cab and you can hear the entire song coming out of the truck for about 3 miles away, I also know someone with 3 of these in a ported enclosure in the back of an Explorer and his is so loud that he caused a police laptop to shut off from the vibrations.
I would highly recommend this sub, but it only hits hard when given alot of air space, but it bottoms out on low notes as well, I would reccommend the w6 series jl subwoofers over these any day, but it still sounds like a jl product, which is sound quality

jackson lake ooogah club

The following review is for 13W3v3-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

these subs are about the best you can get. i used to have the 10" 3v3 sub,and it sounds really good, but waunted something with more "deeper bass" . without upgrading the amp [250 rms clarion marine a/b] and this guy did the trick! i even went from ported on my 10"- to sealed on my 13.5[ due to space limations]....man these jl's are awsome at lower power levels, and yet they don't cost that much...not only was i able to replace my ported 10" with the 13.5" sealed, but with a slightly less "footprint" . yes some mid-high notes aren't quite as strong as the 10". but the balance is there,and sonic's price point is awsome... did i mention these guys are made in the USA!!!!! yes they are and they sound awsome.it's been the best investment for my boat, and i NEVER feel guilty about supporting american jobs!!!!!!!!!!! [the circle of commerse/industry]......... thank you sonic[again] for the best products at a realistic price...btw i have had systems in my rides since "1996" and know a bit about what it takes to "make your nose itch".... these guys will not let you down.

Excellent Sound Quality and Price

The following review is for 13W3v3-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

One of the best deals around. Sonic Electronix had the best pricing for 2 of these subwoofers.

The subwoofer overall is a great piece of equipment, the sound quality and clarity is awesome, and on my current tune produces some awesome low tones with some high SPL numbers.

Look the part as well in a smooth black finish with a subtle JL Audio symbol moulded into the subwoofer cone.

Great Speakers JL does it again

The following review is for 13W3v3-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

The JL Audio 13w3v3 is a excellent speaker has tight responsive bass but drops as well. I have 2 13w3's powered by a Jl 500/1 and the speakers are underpowered ! these subs are Worth every penny in my book!
