JL Audio 13W6V2-D4

JL 13w6

save yourself the headache and time,,,save up and buy this sub,,,the 13w6,,is the most user fiendly flexable sub out there. ,,its well built and expensive for a reason,,,dont waste time with ID Max or Digital Designs,,or Re audio,,JL w6 line has minimal break in time,,demand is high for this brand becasue its a well built product,,,ive owned them all one time or the other,,,ID MAX is one of the worst subs made,,,,600watts of real unclipped power with start to max this sub out,,,DD is a very well built sub but needs exact breakin procedure,,the jl 13,,with 700watts for power will last you the rest of your life,,

Hard to pay almost 500 dollars for a sub that will break after time.

These subs are very musical, sound great and hit hard! However the durability is not so much. They do suffer from crappy soft parts that will break. I own two of them, and they are both suffering from surround failures as well as ripped spiders. Being driven off a JL 1000/1, and in a JL built box, they are not being over powered or abused. After doing some research, I have seen that many owners of these subs and other W6 sizes are also having issues with it as well. They do offer surround kits online for these subs, but I feel like that shouldn't be an issue when I pay as much as I did! Shame on you, JL, use some better parts if your going to charge me top dollar!

13w6v2

i had the 2x12w6v2 and they pounder with the right amp but i want more more i want that crazy bass but JL is very pricey. I dont know if i want to buy the 13w6 if i wasnt pleased with the 12's but you cant go wrong from the forums ive been reading the
13w6 is equal with the 12w7. I'm interested in buying these though they are great quality subs. I'm thinking about waiting for the realese of the v3's thoughs should be nice the lip on them resembles the w7 and there coming out with a 1300v3 amp soon so stay tuned for SonicElectronix im sure they will have the best prices with the warranty to match it.

I don" get it

I have to say that for the price of JL audio (both the w6 and w7) they are way over rated. I hear many people claim they are the "best" SQ sound quality subwoofer made. This makes me laugh as I have competed since 1994 and if this is sound quality then im Santa Clause! I have had the 13W6 and the 13W7 and have to say that I have found many better subs for way less. I switched to the RE Audio XXX and am much happier and payed less than my W7. I feel JL is just living off the reputation they built as the subs have not changed in about 7 years. 500 to 1100 dollars for these subs is robbery but if you just have to have JL then have at it.

Good product

Well I bought this sub and for the 30 minutes or so it worked it sounded incredible but I have blown 4 amps at this point and have yet to figure out the problem so I have given up hope for now and just have a big change holder where my center consol once was

Quality subs

These replaced a set of JBL P1224's. Those weren't bad subs, but this is a whole different level. They require a custom box. I went sealed because of available space. I currently have them running on an Alpine PDX 1.1000 and i'm going to swap to something a little more powerful since the subs get distorted at LOUD volumes (because the amp can't keep up with them). They sound great with all types of music and at all volumes. They sound very controlled as well as loud. It is hard to criticize such a phenomenal sub. (BUT...) They are pricey even at sonic's prices. I wish the outside cosmetics of them were better. The surrounds have an old foamy rubber look to them. The surrounds also highlight dust/saw dust. The terminals on them are extremely easy to use and seem very durable. These have a great combination of spl and sq. They are heavy, but the old p1224's were about the same weight. Plan on using bracing in the box.

good

this is a very good brand and very good sub. The only problem with JL is that it is overpriced. even though it is expensive, its why you buy mercedes over a dodge. the benz will last much longer and is overall a much better vehicle. JL products are all top knotch so still recommended if you have the money

Excellent product!

great subwoofer!

I just bought two of these beast and they pound, I only have a rockfordfosgate 500.1 amp hooked up to them right now so there only getting 250 watts rms each and there rated at 750 watts rms, they are louder then my two type r's at 1200 watts rms when the w6's are getting 250 rms each, my friend has one in his Lexus with a 2 cubic foot box and a 1200 watt rms JL audio amp and up by his mirror the windshield is cracking and they wasn't there before he got the w6, these subs sound really good and there loud, don't think about it just buy there there worth the money!

sounds amazing and loud!

I just bought two 13w6v2 and put them in a 4 cubic foot box, in my s-10, and now I'm waiting for my t1500.1bd to come in. But as of right now I have just a 500 watt rms Rockford Fosgate amp at 1 ohm hooked up to both and they hit so hard, I upgraded from two 12" alpine type r's and had a 1200 watt rms amp at 1 ohm hooked up to both and the 13w6's are just as loud at 250 watts rms each, don't listen to people saying that JL audio is all about SQ, they do sound great but there also loud as crap! My buddy has just one and that thing broke his windshield, he has a Lexus and the sub is in the trunk, don't think about it just buy it you will be impressed!!!
