Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Because this is a "Thin-Line" sub, the clearance behind the cone is minimal. Check if your enclosure's back wall is bowing or if you’ve used internal bracing that is touching the magnet. The sub requires exactly 2.625" of clear mounting depth.
No. This is a 13.5" subwoofer. It requires a much larger mounting hole than a standard 12" sub. You must use a custom-built enclosure or a JL Audio PowerWedge specifically designed for the "13TW5" footprint.
This sub is rated for 600W RMS. If you provide 1000W, you risk "bottoming out" the suspension. If it sounds weak, check the "Polarity." If the (+) and (-) wires are swapped on one sub in a dual setup, they will cancel each other out.
The 13TW5v2 uses a unique concentric tube suspension. Using screws that are too long or driving them at an angle can puncture the internal suspension components. Use only the provided hardware and ensure the sub sits perfectly flush.
This sub moves a massive amount of air for its depth. This noise is usually an air leak in the enclosure. Because the mounting flange is so large, ensure you use a high-quality gasket or silicone seal around the entire perimeter of the mounting hole.
JL Audio officially recommends a Sealed Enclosure of 0.80 cu. ft. for this model. Using it in a ported box can cause the sub to exceed its mechanical limits (Xmax) very easily, leading to permanent suspension failure.
This is normal. 4 ohms is the "Nominal Impedance," but the "DC Resistance" (Re) is typically lower (around 3.2–3.5 ohms). Your amplifier will see this as a standard 4-ohm load once the sub is playing music and generating "impedance rise."
The 13TW5v2 has a very specific "front-mount" design. If your baffle is too thick, the "lip" of the sub may not seat correctly. You may need to "recess" or counter-sink the mounting hole so the sub’s frame sits flat against the wood.

Great sub

The following review is for 13TW5v2-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Classic JL Audio subwoofer. Does what it is designed to do. I'm only running 1 in my vehicle and although it would be nice to have 2, I don't need two.

JL is still the best!

The following review is for 13TW5v2-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I got 1 of these on a Slash 1000/1 running at 4ohms which is why I wanted the Slash for its regulated power supply. According to the power rating for this sub I am overpowering it (I'm definitely voiding my warranty) but I can tell you undoubtedly the 7" VC can handle it. I'm at 3/4 of the IS and I have not clipped once and after a little bit of tuning it is up there w/ some of the best single sub setups I've ever heard. I read a lot of reviews saying it has trouble with lower notes but I think people were tuning it like a normal sub. I set my low pass medium lower and tuned out the junk and I can tell the difference big time. I think most people are missing the low frequency on their subsonic and just think think it's not capable. Once I got my amp set I can't tell you how happy I've been w/ the sound and the quality of my equipment. I have always been a JL but for good reason. No other sub IMO is more complete w/ such a robust sound. I'm not just amazed with the capability of this sub but the fact it was designed and engineered completely from the ground up and it still has that distinct JL sound up and down. It's quite amazing a sub less than 3" deep could even compare to a W6 but it does. The cost was high but if you want the best you have to pay for it and you'll be glad you did. I don't recommend putting a 1000w to it but at least you know it can take it.

great sub small box

The following review is for 13TW5v2-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Got two of these subs because i needed more room and the 13w7 was taking up to much. I love the big sound and the small size.. not like the w7 but still a good clean sound.

The following review is for 13TW5v2-4, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

O man, where to start, this sup is just amazing clean clear, bass i have never heard a sub sound so good, the way it hits is just crazy, love love love, the only problem I had and has nothing to do with sub, is sonic put a signature required when they shipped it, fedex did not want to let me pick it up, as they said we will try again tomorrow, I said I would t be there tomorrow because I work are the next day are the next day after that, but In the end I was able to pick it up,
