JL Audio 10W0v2-4

Great bang for buck!

These come highly recommended. I have two of them in a downfiring box. Always the best from JL. Cheap, efficient, and the sound quality is above all the rest. Buy em, you won't regret it.

Broke after 6 months

I was using this product for 6 months and it broke one day out of the blue. Rigged it up and it still works, but sucks that it just came apart.

jl good for me

This new model w0 is bad***. For only 100 bucks you are getting a good quality sub. this 10 inch beats hard. sounds very clean and the lows are heard good. other subs might be louder but jl products hit harder and sound better. you won't be dissapointed.

Great Sounding Sub but Overated

I purchased 2 of the JL 10WOv2-4 to install in my son's truck. Initially these subs sounded great, especially for the price. Only problem is, though they are rated to to handle 300 watts rms/600 watts peak, they will not handle it for long.

I had these subs installed in custom built enclosure that my son and I fabricated, giving them exactely .65 cu. ft. each with an old school Rockford Fosgate "The Punch 150" supplying the power (.This amp is 20 years old, and is pristine condition. Of course, as you can tell by the amp I installed for him, I'm giving away my age. LOL) This set up was slamming initially, I was very impressed with the results. Sad thing is, the JL W0v2's only lasted about ~ 35 days.

At any rate, I've been into car audio for quite some time, and have never witnessed a situation like this, especially since the system was calibrated to the extent that no componet of the set up would allow clipping to occur. Initially, I thought the voice coils were blown, based upon the way the subs were sounding, but after removing the subs to test them with an Ohm meter, I found the culprit of the problem - The woofer cone had separated from the foam surround.

Like I said, if you buy them, I would suggest powering them with no more than 100 watts rms each. My thinking is that with the lower wattage, the cone excursion won't be as extreme, thus preventing the separation of the cone and the foam surround. Other case scenario is that JL should probably do some R&D and supply a tougher surround material, like rubber maybe. As I stated earlier, the voice coils were fine, maybe JL has a design flaw in using the foam surround. If your budget allows, go with the W3's or simular, if not, choose an amplifier pushing ~ 100 watts rms.

Great Sub! Great Price!

This is my first 10 inch sub, i always been a fan of Kicker 12 inch subs so i was kinda hesitant on purchasing this one. I went with JL Audio because of all the great reviews this brand gets, even the guy at the stereo shop I went to recomended JL right off the the bat soon as I told him I was looking for a 10in sub. Got this sub in a sealed box wired to a RockFosgate 250 Watt RMS Amp, This sub puts out clean loud tight bass and car mirror vibrating lows you can feel. This sub went above my expectations, Great job JL Audio.

JL Audio W0....WOW

We all know the JL reputation. I bought 1 of these 10 W0's, and didn't expect much since it is a W0. I must say that after 15 of dealing in car audio, i'm sooo very impressed. The sub will SLAM at any volume, and with any music type, and still remain very tight, snappy, low, and clean sounding. I would recommend this to anyone as a beginner sub, or just a quick simple, and very wise upgrade.

great product at a great price

well, sonic offers a great price on this and it's a steal. H**l I'd pay double. This is one quality sub and the folks at JL got this newer version just right with the polyfoam surround. Bass is tight, fast, rich and damn does it bang. I ran the 60-100hz sweep to set it right on my amp, feeding her 200W off an MB Quart in a sealed box with some polyfill for smoother bass (trust me) and have had no issues. I played ACDC (great bass drum), Metallica (wow), techno (club bass!) and of course Southern Hip Hop. Now with southern hip hop the digitized bass is deep, like trip hop- try Portishead. The bass is clean, smooth and deep, you can feel it in your soul! I am definitely satisfied at the power of what 1 10" can do. I heard this on a ported and beautiful richness is all I tasted, but I went with sealed due to space and was looking for a sealed sub and this fits in either one (I ran the numerous specs). Try it, you'll be a believer. And to those that say JL is overpriced, well, try it first. I go by what my ears say. Oh, I heard a Kenwood and Alpine Type S and this was the clear winner. I also wanted something 150-300W. This fit the bill and then some. ps- single voice coil, 4 ohm, great look, durable, and don't forget to order the grill.

JL 10w0 is a great value!

I might be bias considering i had issues with mine... but i love JL subs! They are not punchy but can bounce back for the next bass note. The only downside would be that i had issues with the voice coil and had to return mine. I would spend the extra dollars next time and get one of their higher end models next time.

I Love It!!!

I have 2 of these in my 1989 single cab chevy, not a lot of room which is perfect with these, will be adding a 3rd one, oh yeah the two i have hit harder then most 12's.

Sweet Sub

This is the first JL sub I have ever owned and it rocks! The mids and highs hit awesome. The lows are great for a 10 inch. The excursion is pretty crazy once it hits about 24 hz. This sub is really clean compared to what ive used before. Ex. kicker, kenwood, rockford fosgate, sony. This sub also hits really hard too. I got this sub a few days ago and so far its awesome. I just hope it lasts awhile. I have this in a 1.3 cubic ft ported box running at 150 rms. For what I like, this sub does it all. I would definitely buy this sub again. JL is the only way to go!
