Strength:
LOUD bass, TIGHT bass, DEEP bass. Very powerful and inexpensive comparative to other subs. Makes peoples heads turn at breakneck speed. Very solid and loud!
Weakness:
NONE I would reccomend these subs to anyone. Put 2 in your car and make people turn their heads. Put 4 in your car and make people cuss at you. Put 8 in your car and have the cops called on you! Similar Products Used: RFZ12, MTX 5000 |

Strength:
Super great bass and cheap. Love em'
Weakness:
Super cheap. I have a pair of 12w0-4. At first I was skeptical about them. I have a 400 watt Orion amp, and running it to 2 "125 watt" subwoofer, didn't sound right. Boy, I love them.....they hit hard. You won't get a better deal for the price. Everyone is right. They are great subs. I sold them, and now I got 15w6's. Can't go wrong, especially great for starters. Similar Products Used: Kicker competition. They cost way more, so I can't really give a comparison. |

This sub plays loud and clear. It handles power well also. I have 200 watts going into each of my 12wo's and they can still take more. They also play low and hit all notes. If you want a musical sub this is the way to go.
Weakness:
Sometimes I have have playing so loud that it sounds bad in the back seat because all you hear it bass and no highs from my other speakers. Also it is not a very good sub for real punchy bass. But for hip-hop and r&b it is a great sub. For the price it can not get any better than this. I paid $314 for two 12wo's in a sealed box. These subs make peoples heads turn on the road. People always sit in my car and comment on how good they sound. It was a damn good investment. Similar Products Used: mtx 6000, w3 |

Strength:
VERY loud, tight bass.
Weakness:
No weaknesses. I have a pair of these JLs and they are just AMAZING! And at only $100 a piece, these subs are perfect for those who want loud, tight sounding bass. JL totally underated the power handling of these subs! They are rated at 125W RMS but I'm giving mine 400W RMS each and they pound HARD! At this level, I have hit up to 143dB in my Chevy Lumina. I highly recommend these subs for people who listen to hard rock or rap. In my opinion, they sound better in a bandpass box. Remember, these things are HUNGRY for power!! Similar Products Used: Slightly louder and much better sound quality than Rockford Fosgate 12" XLC. |

Strength:
cheap, dont require as much wattage as most
Weakness:
havent noticed any, heard it not do so well on a note or two, but they have great quality i have had these for about half a year, bought them off my friend cause he kept getting his car taken away and never really used them but for about a month or two. i am using the same amp i had on an 8" bass tube, only getting 35w per sub, and they stil pound. JL's dont cost much at all, good for the money. i am gonna get about a 350-500watt amp for them soon, i'm broke. i suggest them to anyone if you arent a rich kid who can go buy infinity perfects with a rockford fosgate punch amp ;) Similar Products Used: not sure |
