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.

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..

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.

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.

Solid Sub

This sub is built very well and like all other JL audio products it has great sound quality. I had 2 in a 4 cu. ft. box and they sounded great and had pretty good excursion even thought i was only giving them 200 rms a piece. I recommend for an high entry level setup.

Satisfied

I have one of these hooked up to a Tarantula 800w Soundstream amp. Its dialed about half and hits great. I'm looking to get another. The Soundstream amp is 2 channel and would def handle both great. One negative is in a small car (99 mustang), Dynamat or something is prob necessary because when I turn up just one of these subs it rattles the trunk too much. Don't get me wrong the sub hits and remains low and at good pitch its just the car that rattles. I usually pull the seat down in the back (exposing the trunk for a little more resonance). The sound quality remains even at very high volume. One thing else that you prob would wanna know is that yes these subs hit and sound great even at double pedal metal bass drum or slow hard hitting rap, but the thump outside the car isn't as loud as you would expect or at all. But personally I don't care that I'm not that d*****bag that thinks he has a nice system rolling down the street.
