Strength:
-efficient hard hitting bass
Weakness:
-a little sloppy in the sound quality side of things( it's not my amp either ) I bought these subs 3 months before rockfrod came out with it's he2 and hx2 line up now I'm kicking myself for not waiting. I have 4 10" JL W3's with the 4 ohm voice coils. They are mounted in the trunk of a 1987 monte carlo ss, and they pound stupid hard. I've turned them up to the point where my ears couldn't take anymore and they were only about 2/3's working, when I turn them up all the way they are too loud for me. I got a warning from a cop when I was driving around and had them pinned because they were too loud. Similar Products Used: 2 12" boston acoustics ( rally's ) |

my only weakness is that my trunk rattles so loud and if you sit in my ride for one whole song you would know what bass is!!!! I have two 10w3 in a small sealed box. These things kill. One of the best subs ever made. If you dont got a JL then you aint got shizz. Similar Products Used: kicker(xpl) |

Cheap Design Only good for SPL sound qualitie sucks my left nut If your looking for good affordable subs go with Xtants . Overall they are a decent sub just i am not a big fan of the foam and other features it has could use upgrading . Similar Products Used: Xtant A104 I have 2 10 Xtant A's that sound just as good as my 3 12w3's For half of the price and half the space |

Strength:
Slams hard, hits clean, handles a lot of watts, looks nice, requires only a .75 cubic ft. enclosure per sub(small box).
Weakness:
C'mon I bought these subs for $130 a piece. This was a great deal. To power them I also purchased a Crossfire TEK150.2 which pumps out about 600x1 into 4 ohms. Both subs are in a JBC competition box(.7 cubic ft/sub). They sound great in my 1989 Civic Hatchback. When I put on some rap they really shake the crap out of my car. The output from these subs would blow your mind. My car sounds like it has 2 twelves instead of 2 tens Compared to the other subs that I have tried they are the best. However, there is no way that 10w0 or 10w1 could compare to this sub. I give these an A+. Similar Products Used: JL 10w0, 10w1 |

Strength:
Fullness of the speakers are great. Good over all sub
Weakness:
Speaker terminal, you pay alittle more for them, why not include better hookups? The only thing i dont like about these sub is that i now need to invest for some dynomat. Similar Products Used: Clarion Proaudio 12 did not hit as low as the JL's. Oh yeah, 2 10 inch punch's..... try again Rockford!!!! |

Strength:
Hard hitting, good on the lows, car shaking, lets just say they are great.
Weakness:
No weaknesses that I have yet found. I recomend them if you want a serious sound system. I have a 600 watt Coustic amp pushing these 2 10 W3's and it's awesome. My neighbor complains about his shower doors shaking. Get them. Similar Products Used: I can't find any subs that compare. I use to have 2 12' Punch's and my JL's blow them away. |
