JL Audio 8W3V3-4

If you need an 8-inch subwoofer that can create outstanding bass in extremely small enclosures, the 8W3v3 will do the job and surprise you with its power and accuracy. It employs the same technologies as its larger diameter brethren to deliver a whopping 0.375 in. (10 mm) of controlled, one-way, linear excursion. The 8W3v3-4 is best used with amplifier power in the 75W - 250W range and is optimized to operate in a tiny 0.30 cu. ft. (8.5 l) sealed enclosure, or a 0.35 cu. ft. (9.9 l) ported enclosure.

Great sub

Sub has performed better than I thought it would. JL Audio has great products.

Great Sub

Have 2 of these underneath the backseat in a F-150 2010 extended cab. Great sub hits the notes very LOUD!!! Great sub for having no space to put them. Have it setup w/ JL audio to get rid of factory speakers and you can hear every note high and low. Worth the buy. May be worried about not getting the bass you want. DON'T worry about that at all. Get a great box too and they work superb.

THE BEST

I purchased these subs and I'm very pleased with them.

JL Audio makes a good product. I have made many buys from Sonic, very pleased.

Very Solid

I am very pleased with these subs. I have 2 of these in my 03' f150 supercrew and these fit under my backseat perfectly without any real modifications. my amp is a Alpine MRP-f300
SOUND: these subs really do sound great. They have what i would call "grown man bass." Your probably not going to shake your neigbors cars mirrors but they provide a very solid thump without being flooded or sloppy. I have always had 2 12's in all my previous cars and while these don't hit as hard as those did on the very deep lows they still hit amd I would say it is rather close and these sound better.
SIDE NOTE: As always it depends on what amp and whatnot you have running your speakers but with these i can set loose change on my console and watch it move with the bass where i have never really been able to do that before even with my 12's
CONCLUSION: if you are a teen and just what the most flooded. ratteling bass you can find these might not be for you. but if you want a very clean sound that will still shake your seat and fit conveniently in a tight space i would highly reccomend. .
*Only giving 4 stars for look/design and durability as i never see speakers and have only had them for 6 months so can't fully speak to durability.

8" W3?

These really do not sound like 8's. They slap hard and people are always amazed when they hear them. I have 2 8 W3 in a sealed box in a nissan frontier crew cab and they hit so hard. I had someone come into my car not knowing i had subs and asked them what they sounded like and he said he thought it was a 12 in a large box. No one believes they are only 8's until they see them. I definitely recommend this to anyone limited in space and wanting the most boom for their buck

Hammers

I put a single 8W3 in a fiberglass enclosure in the back of my SUV on 240 watts. It really gets down! Best in a sealed enclosure.

sound supreme ++

i have a lexus sc 400 these speakers with components and all fit flawlessly and offer a sound that is truly extraordinary, i was advised to buy this brand with guaranteed satisfaction, and i openly admit that is what i have. Complete satisfaction and super pounding power, highly recommended, state of the art is JL Audio, and i got a 8 inch sub instead of 10 i was very worried it would not provide the bass i wanted wow it vibrates the mirrors and seats and thumps!! more than expected and surpassed 2 friends 10 and 12s they had

Great deal

i would recommend these speakers to anyone who is tight on space but still wants the good sound and or bass. They are a little pricey but i would buy them again in a heart beat

Super 8

2008 Wrangler Unlimited. Made spacer so that the 8w3v fits in OEM enclosure. Being fed by Cadence XAH250.2 mono. If you are reading the reviews, you know the praise for this little thing. No BS, this little thing is awesome for an 8. In previous vehicles, I've had a single 10 and a single 12. Both Polk db's. The JL is as loud as the 10 and musically it sounds better than both the 10 and 12. Both db's sounded "messy". This one is very precise. Definitely worth they extra money and for this particular application, it is perfect.
