JL Audio 12W1v3-4

Very pleased!

If you’re looking for something that’ll fit in a smaller, under seat box…this is it. They’re not the cheapest, but there’s more expensive out there too. Do it…you won’t be disappointed

I’ve always had 12’s, but wanted to go with something that would fit better in my truck, so I got some kicker 10’s. After some time with them, I just couldn’t get down with the 10’s….they just don’t do what 12’s do. After doing some digging, I found these W1’s worked for the same airspace as the box I have for the 10’s (they ask for 1 sq ft and the box is about .95 per side) and the amp (kicker 800.1) I have as well. Hooked them up today, SUPER excited with the result. Obviously I haven’t had much time on them yet, but I can already tell I made the right decision. I haven’t even really turned them up much and the bass is on point. I still need to re-tune the amp since putting them in. Need to make some adjustments tomorrow, but it’s jammin nice now.

WOW

I would definitely recommend these speakers to people. I have to 12"s in these subs, with the JL PowerWedge box. I'm using these subs with a JL 500/1 amp,but at 2 ohms its only putting around 275watts RMS. THEY POUND in my camaro. I was very supprised with these subs. I love JL audio. They have never let me down. Great subs for the amount of power they only need to take. I've owned Kicker CVR's, L7's, Comp's and many others. these are good subs.

great sub id recommend it great value for what you are getting

You have one 12???

I have this sub in a huge 2.5 cubic feet vented box tuned at 50hz. I'm running a 600w (300rms) amp at 4 ohms to it and this thing is literally an eyeball rattler. If I'm in my driveway and I have it turned up the windows on my house shake and so does the china cabinet. It hits the lows like they are nothing while still providing superior sound quality. This thing is rediculous. Only con is the color. It is an ugly grey color. But jl gives you a metal grill to go over it which hides it.

Compared to the w0 series the w1 demolishes it. It is worth the upgrade. A friends car had 2 12" w0v2s in a vented box and you could only feel the bass. There wasn't much sound to it. But my single 12" w1v2 blew it out of the park.

sweet

These speakers are awesome!! They seem to handle any power with ease. I put them in a ported box and the bass hits real hard which was something I did not expect. I totally recommend this speaker to anyone..

Good intro subs

These are great Intro subs! Currently have 2 of these installed in my 2017 Maxima but about to upgrade to 2 W3's. Not quite enough oomph! Lol

grate price for awesome power !!!

I had 2 subs with a Jl500/1 and loved them so I upgraded to a JL1000/1 and boght 2 more and i was scared at first because i was told it was a powerful amp but they hold on pretty well. Will shore recomend them.

Good sub just dont put true power to it

Blew one out on the first day of use. Don't put the "TRUE" RMS rated power through these. I think they expect you to be using one of those cheap amps that claims to make this power but really makes less. It is a good sub for boxes that don't have much back spacing, like in a truck. Just keep the power low on these suckers.

good for the price

My son actually picked this out for his car. It seems to be a very good product and I would not hesitate to buy it again

SURPRISED!!!

I bought 2 but ended up buying a single ported box, Paired with a Ap1000d great amp(discontinued).. i had about 250-300rms going to it gains and bass boost on half, Boy it p0unded those lows like a champ. Now i got dual pirted box tuned @40hz WOOOOOOW put in lil john and almost died looollllll....
