Two JL Audio 12W1v3-2 + Polk Audio PA D2000.2

Amazing Sound

I've always chosen JL audio for my car audio installs.

In a steal box environment it sounds absolutely amazing. I'm running a single 12" and couldn't be happier.

dis shit bangs

badass sub with right amp n set up 300 500 max amp I run one in a single cab truck in it and I can't keep my review mirror straight hits hard for one Jl audio sub buy it u will b hella pleased

Great mid-line sub

This is my first 12" sub. I have used 10" in past. This one seems to offer a little lower frequency extension, with great control. I like rock and in a small sealed enclosure, it is plenty fast enough to keep up. Volume is great with 300w RMS 2 ohm. So far no cons, works as I expect it to.

amazing speaker quality

very nicely made and sounds very good on 300w amp

Great sound quality

This is my 2nd JL sub after owning a 12W0 and they both sound great. The W1 sounds slightly better so I’d recommend it over the W0 For the extra $60-80. In a sealed truck box, I’m running it off of a JL JX 250/1 and LC2i along with the factory head unit.

Great sound and low noise. Easy to install and clean looks.

Class D full range?

After reading online about the issues faced by high frequency reproduction and class d technology I was skeptical whether these amps would perform well at high volume/high frequency. While my setup may not be quite audiophile grade, the addition of this amp has definitely brought it up a peg.

Seeing the Polk class D would run cooler and take up less space for the power, I bit the bullet and ordered. I am a believer now! This amp sounds great! While my Infinity Kappa 6x8's have always been a little on the bright side, they play much smoother than the other amps I've tried. Also, after playing the system at near full volume for 2hrs, the amp barely gets warm. Awesome!

May or may not be audiophile grade, but for anyone with a half way decent setup (aftermarket amps and speakers) will most likely be satisfied! I wouldn't let the amp class decide for you, get to your local audio shop and test one out today!!

By the way, did I mention the band-pass filter with the x10 multiplier? I think Polk just got a new #1 fan!!

P.S. I have only heard about Polk durability... gave it 5 stars
Settings have no graduated marks ... 4 stars

INCREDIBLE

I ordered this amp on a decision that it is cheap and has the 500rms I wanted. Plus I feel Polk Audio brand should be good enough to do the job.

Man...I was wrong. IT DID ONE HELL OF A JOB!

Obviously 500rms means power, but it isn't just SPL that this incredibly small Polk Audio amp provides; it provides superb subbass definition I have since long forgotten! I admit I wasn't expecting such a high sound quality out of this amp, but hearing is believing and this amp delivers! My subwoofer is AVI Sound SLS300, a high end subwoofer that once upon a time was paired with DLS Ultimate amp. This baby Polk did just as good if not better thanks to the higher power rating. It is just incredible.

Build quality is awesome too. It feels well made and solid with a nice weight to it. The piano black finish is gorgeous, and connection is very very good. The size? My goodness it is a blessing. The price? Ummm, if I said it I fear Sonic will jack up the price!

I suggests one thing for all of you guys wanting a high quality amp be it for front speakers or subwoofer; buy this amp!

I cannot say about reliability, but thus far I never blown an amp so maybe it is down to installation. Hell, why not, I just gonna give it 5/5 because this product truly impressed me.

Thank you to Sonic Electronix for the awesome delivery too!

Crisp and clean and unreal amounts of power in this tiny package.

I bought this with the PAD1000.1 for a new install. Driving a set of SR6500's. I have never had these speakers sound so good. Auditioned with some Duffy, Adele and then to see how they handle a pounding, some Five Finger. Nice, tight midrange and the vocals are breath taking with this new D series amp. Like the other PAD, this amp runs COOL over a long long period. The clarity of this amp is just nothing short of amazing. The SR6500's really shine with this amp. Did I mention how tiny this thing is? You can install it anywhere. Same heavy duty 1/0 accepting power connection and a beautiful finish. State of the art in all aspects. This amp cannot dissappoint.
