I replaced two 10's for the JL 12 and I can't believe the crisp sound. The price was to good to be true but it was and I'm satisfied.
The clear sound this sub gives for its price is honestly so mind boggling. I’m happy with my purchase.
JL never disapoints!! Placed two 12s in a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited hooked to an Infinity Reference 6001A amp. Great deep sounding punchy bass. I highly recommend.
After arriving, i immediately hooked it up with amp on my car and wow it sounds amazing! If your looking for a great sub you should check out JL Audio's W0v3 series. affordable but still delivers the great sound quality JL Audio is known for
A much cheaper option from JL Audio, the W0v3 subs still deliver that JL Audio sound at a lower cost. Still powerful, and the bass doesnt differ that much to much pricey JL Audio subs. Love to add another 12W0v3 sub to in my setup.
A much affordable option if youre looking for a JL Audio sub for your car. Paired it with a JD500 for a month now and really sounding better than what I had in mind before. Exceeds expectations.
Good deal! I was able to get a discount for Black Friday on one speaker only. then bought another somewhere else :)
