awsome

ive had a pair(2) jl 12w0-4 for 8 years,in several different cars. these speakers faithfully pounded my ears. replaced 1 shortly after i got them under warrenty. on a punch 100 amp bridged. bottom line these are the sheeeit.

good subs

i have 2 of these w0-4 12's in a box 1cube ft per chamber with 2 inch ports. i am pushing them with a 900watt rms amp and they sound great. although when the box was sealed the one made a popping noise. as soon as i ported the box the popping sound went away for the most part but you can still hear it when you open the trunk (i think the sub is partially blown :( but still sound amazing). 900rms is ALOT more than JL has rated these subs for but they seem to take it very well (for now at least). i have the gain and bass boost on my amp almost the whole way up and the hertz level is around 57. also the excursion is amazing for a low watt subwoofer. the only thing i don't like about them is they are single 4ohm and not dual 4 or 2ohm subs. after having these i would never buy any other brand of woofer besides JL and MA audio.

Nice SQ subs!

I just got a pair of these in on trade.... Very impressed! Ive owned Fi, Earthquakes, HCCA's, every kind of Rockford and Kicker. And these little things are nice, Of coarse they arent super loud but they r loud enough.

I have 2 in about a 2.5 cu ft ported box tuned around 35 hz wired to 2 ohms running on a Memphis MClass MC500D amp so they r getting the full 500w rms (and thats under rated) so each sub is getting 250rms and they r alot louder than i would of thought and hit pretty low too.

Great for the daily driver that doesnt want his vocals to be drownded by stupid loud bass, or someone that can appreciate sq. put these on a nice class D monoblock and enjoy

Good Speakers

I have 2 of these in my mustang running on a 200 watt fosgate amp and they hit really hard. My nieghbor thought I had W3's. Would highly recomend for any one who wants good sound quality from a low wattage speaker.

first pair of subs, amazing

Have had these for 6 years and they still got life in them. Had them wired to an old Rockford P600.1BD and they sounded incredible. Good SQ with some nice solid volume. Eventually had them replaced by some Rockford Fosgate P2's but I still have them and still love them. Great subs to start off with.

bang for your buck

these subs are awesome! I have 4 of them in a tempo, and it knocks. they are a cheap sub (good), they pound at a low wattage(good) and the retro look is cool too. The only thing that i could possibly recommend to anyone is that these subs are NOT made for ported boxes. i had them in my first box with ports and it sounded horrible, but put them in a sealed box and you'll be happy.
