Does anyone have these in there car or have used/heard them? I am wondering how the quality of these subs is, bith manufacture quality and sound quality.

I am not looking for anything really loud or high powered. Just something that will sound good and look good.

I am thinking of adding 4 x 12" subs powered by my JL 500/, which is lots of power to run them by the specs they have.

Anyway any input on these would be great.

Thanks

your not looking for anything loud, then the next sentance you say you want to run 4-12's ?

if your running 500 watts, running 4 subs yoru looking at 125 watts per sub. this isnt allot of power, if this is the recomended power for those subs, you'd be allot better off just going with 2 subs each pushing 250 watts.

I guess i should have worded that better. I am not looking for a huge SPL system. I was thinking the 4 subs more for the looks then the sounds levels it can produce.

The RMS rate is 150watts per sub for the w1v2s.

The optimal power range is between 100-150 watts.

But the real question I want to know is if they are up to the typical JL quality as far a sound quality and build quality.

yes they are a great sub but they are more for sound quality not for the thump if you have the 500/ JLamp run 2 12 w 3v2 I think you will be suprised . I am going to put 3 10 w1 v2 in mine with just the 250/ amp my 3 10 w 0 hit prity hard but I dont have the quality that I am locking for cause I like a lot of rock music. Also to help you out chek out the new CLEAN SWEEP by JL it will help you out. Just remember running 4 subs in the trunk of your cavy you can loose alot of air space and that sounds like crap I know from experiance that is why Im sticking to 10s

their by no means jl's flagship speaker, but they are still jl. the quality wil be decent. i beleive they are now discontinued? not sure on that,


just remember, when it comes to quality sound. more doesnt mean better in the audio world.

i was wondering about that because of the v2 wich made me thing 2nd version, but when i didnt see them on their site, they only showed the w1 as being discontinued, i must have just missed the w1v2 on their site.

The W1v2s just came out. I do agree with you that more is not better. The way I want the install to look just has 4 subs in it.

I had the shop put 2 in my trunk for a demo of them and they sound good. They are a lot more accurate then the l7 i have. They still play loud if you want them too.

I picked up 4 12s and I am starting the build tomorrow.

Here is a image of the subs.



This is my current setup.



The new one should look good once i get all of the pieces, i am still waiting on a few things

I installed 4 12W1v2-8's into my buddies 1987 Olds Cutlass 442, it hits 174.4db on our mic at work. It is a sealed box, and those subs are AWESOME!!!! A very BIG upgrade from W0's, and they are rated at 150rms each. 125 will be more than enough for them.
