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 XD600/1v2 or JL Audio JX500/1D. In addition, these subwoofers are optimized to operate in either a ported or sealed enclosure, needing only 1.75 cubic feet of air space in a sealed box and 2.50 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.

Great Little Amp!

The following review is for VADM1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought this to replace my JL 250/1 because I couldn't run a 1-ohm load on it. This amp doesn't sound as clean so I ended up hooking both up, one on each sub for a 2-ohm load. The sound quality got better and it puts out a great amount of power. It slams a kicker Comp VR 12 at 2 ohms.

Small Amp Tons of power

The following review is for VADM1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Was really skeptical about how much power this little guy put out but it powers my one kicker perfectly and its so small you can place it anywhere if youre wanting a clean unseen install!

Tiny but powerful

The following review is for VADM1, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This amp is tiny, but packs a punch, similar to the other amps in the VAD line up. The only downside is the 8 gauge power terminals and the push-in style connector for the speaker wire. The speaker wires can pretty easily pop out of the connectors on the back of the amp, and I had to use a 4 gauge to 8 gauge reducer to run adequate power and get the 500 @ 1 ohm promised on the box. Overall it's impressive that such a tiny amp can produce such power and be 1 ohm stable. It's compact design means it can be mounted virtually anywhere or easily concealed depending on what your install calls for.

Excellent Subwoofer

The following review is for 13W3v3-2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I purchased one of these for my truck after getting rid of my 10w6v2. I built a sealed enclosure to the exact specs on JL's website and I am feeding this sub 400w rms per JL's recommendation. Not only does this sub destroy my old 10w6v2 in SPL, but the SQ on this sub is nearly as good as well. I plan on building a ported box for it soon to get that extra 3db out of it. Bought this from Sonic and I could not be happier.

LOUD!!!

The following review is for 13W3v3-2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I know two people that have 3 of these in ported enclosures, one has a blow through in a F150 and it is insane to even be in or around his truck with it turned up, then the other guy has them in a brand new explorer and they are just as loud, I would have to say with these being JL's mid level 13's, they are a greta product, they dont lack in performance one bit. But they take some air space for good sound out of them.
