Couldn’t have said it any better myself. They produce a different kind of sound along with being extremely accurate and the ability to make pressure and loudness.
Yeah sealed is cleaner but not by a whole lot with these subs. I had the w6.v2 two 12s in a spec ported enclosure powered by a rockford 1000 watt amp. Shit was still acurate as hell output ridiculous and sounded good doin it. When people heard it they always asked what kind of subs you got not how many just what the hell are those they sound good. Jl is just that good once you get one you're hooked.
Jason Kidd What about the W1 and W3? Are they that good too? I've only heard a 13" TW5, but it was for less than a minute and the song didn't have much bass.
I had two 12in w3s also after i sold the w6s. They sound good very clean to me. Id go with the w3 they sound good sealed or ported also,but not as good ported compared to say like a w6 which had more power handling and more accurate. W3 is a good sub better than most.
definitely looks like one of those is out of phase compared to the other as its moving in complete opposite to the other sub worth just double checking your polarity and wiring across both subs as they are definitely not wired the same and causing cancellation. you will definitely see an improvement once they are wired correctly as a matched pair in phase.
They are not out of phase it is just the rolling shutter effect if you have 2 subs next to each other in the light I will do it eathen my dual 12s do it
@@kailumgg6720 definitely. It's especially obvious when you look at the center on the screen where the surrounds are closest. The rolling shutter is minimal there ans they appear much more in sync.
No need to for a high output alternator. THAT'S the beauty in JL AUDIO. You can have a complete system under 2000 watts and not need to do crazy ass mods to the electrical other than wire upgrades. I'd definitely throw away that capacitor and just get another battery. Caps look nice but are unnecessary when you can get another battery that actually helps your electrical. Nice setup though.
caps are necessary if there cheap brands then there bad but if its good brand there good & the only cheap company i know that made a good one is planet audio 10 farad.
Caps should be used after the battery right before the amp. They do have a purpose and that’s to take the strain off the battery because pulling a lot of power from a battery for an extended period of time will make them go bad faster. The capacitor will keep those expensive batteries going longer.
How do the 6v3 sound vs the w3v3? Which one gets louder? I had 2 12 w3v3s sealed and it got pretty loud .. i sold that set up and regret it. Now i wanna get another sealed set up but dont know if i should go for w3s again or w6s or something totally different
Sorry if you already answered this but what was louder. The 1 W7 or 2 W6? Thinking about putting a single W7 on a JL 1000/1 in my 2013 Camaro so I'd really like your answer.
I bought these subs and a RF 1500BDCP amp and I couldn't get enough power to them..nothing like my old kicker cvx days. These subs are power hungry. I need like 2 stand alone batteries to sufficiently power them. What's your power setup?
Awesome subs, paired with the best mono amp on the market (IMO). I love that you went sealed too, I bet it's very clean in person. What are you running for highs?
@@nickmusgrave8t he’s just stating his opinion, sealed is a really great option though especially when you know you have the output to reach a certain volume specifically because you get better accuracy with a sealed box.
Oh yeah, the 1200/1V3 and the 12W6V3's are a match made in heaven! The subs can be wired to 2 ohm stable. The amp ranges from 1.5 to 4ohm which is perfect! Keep in mind that JL Audio under rates their amps so you're getting perfect clean power to those babies!
Ruben Alvarez JL doesn't under rate they just give you exactly what your paying for. When you have a regulated amp say a 3500 crescendo and your sub impedence changes and goes up to 4ohm you loose 2/3 of your power, with the JL being 1200 across a wider range of voltage and impedence 1.5-4ohm you still get that 1200 watts you paid for wherethe crescendo will be at 500 watts. Hell even as high as 8ohm the JL will just loose half power and still have 600 watts and the crescendo or any other unregulated amp will have cut power to a 1/6th its rated power. This is why in the car on music in the real world where it counts the JL will be just as loud or louder then a Korean 3500 or 5k. I just wish for once JL would cater to the bass heads as much as the sq crowd and build a 18w8 130 monster sub with 5 inch coils and a matching slash 10k to match. Just to silence the haters and regain their spl title to go along with some of their sq titles and old spl titles. Don't get me wrong you can still do huge numbers with the 12w7 and 13w7 but I just want to see something on par with the B2 or sundown teams or Alfred audio subs. A true heavy weight monster.
I was running 2 12 W3s in 5th order band pass ported box paired with a JL 900/5. Accurate as hell tbh but really worked the amp hard. I just installed a HD 1200/1 to my w3s running about 40% gain on the amp and OMFG it hits harder than ever and clean. I'm about to get the same subs but the W6 version. Do you think I can still run the same type of box or would it need to be sealed? I'm all about SQ! I'm running 2 sets of KR 165's for fronts and rear. Any info would be awesome! Thank you
Dude, two sealed w3v3's powered by a JL HD750 will sound so clean & you will still feel it pound on your chest & feel the bass in your hair without draining so much power from your electrical Ported is fine too but then u really need good mids & highs to go with all that bass :)
Joe Jessica That's awesome to hear! I was thinking on getting a custom sealed box for it but was worried that it wouldn't pound. I want a system that'll be clean and clear with the ability to get loud when I want it to. Wouldn't the HD750 be a bit much for two 10w3's? I'm a noob when it comes car audio. Thanks for the response!
+xectastic what do u mean by "a bit much"? One w3v3 takes 150 - 500 watts each, two 10inch w3v3 is perfect for HD 750, get two 4 OHM not the 2 OHM, just trust me. & hopefully a bass nob to turn the bass down or up ported will be so much louder that u will really have to upgrade your mids & highs to go with all that ported bass, idk what your budget is I have one 12w3v3 ported on 400 watts, wish I got a sealed 10 on 600 watts better :/ two w3 was out of my budget $$$
It would be ok as long as you wire the dual voice coils so you have a 2ohm impedance. That will give you the full 500W output at 14.4V. I ran two 12" Kickers off a JX500/1D for well over a year and it never gave me any issues. Since upgraded to 12w7ae and HD1200/1.
Leon Serrano make sure it's 1 cubic feet in volume for the 12 inch w6 .55 cube feet for the 10 inch 12 inch subs get boomy so getting it sealed should solve that annoying boomy bass that doesn't let u hear the words in music. & hopefully u can put a good amp & overpower it just a little bit :D
Will always be my go too over anything they will never understand the sound they produce 💯

Always was a kicker type. Until i got a 12" jl audio w6. Sounded way better then my 12" solabaric kicker
u2bed91 the w3 is alright for SQ but if you want some bass I’d go w6 or higher
I have a 12W3v3 in a ported spec box and it is a SPL/SQ sub. It sounds great and can beat your back up on 600 watts rms!!
Gotta love W6’s.
definitely looks like one of those is out of phase compared to the other as its moving in complete opposite to the other sub

Gawd the bass coming out of that I can feel on my jvc xx
Love it! But Why do these look out of sync? When you watch it looks like you can see the wave rolling over them vs being in sync.
it sounds real good!!! got this setup about to go in my F150

I run mine single jl w6 v3 12 on a zapco z2kd at 2ohm and it takes the abuse all day
@@DirtySouthFlorida3 Perfect! I've had the 12W7 in high outputbox, 13W7 in a fatbox and 12W6v3 in high output box. My favorite was the W6v3.
How them 12"w6's sound in a sealed enclosure?
Those subs are out of phase great video I love those subs
Is that the motor structure i hear also in the subs ? Sounds like mechanical noise ive noticed this on the v3w6s
Love the 6's over w7 any day faster response better SQ NICE SETUP
How do the 6v3 sound vs the w3v3? Which one gets louder? I had 2 12 w3v3s sealed and it got pretty loud .. i sold that set up and regret it. Now i wanna get another sealed set up but dont know if i should go for w3s again or w6s or something totally different
w6 all day man go to a local shop and see what they have working on see if you can listen in
Three words or food for thought - Transmission line enclosure. ;) and yes ported.
Beautiful thanks for the review
Sorry if you already answered this but what was louder. The 1 W7 or 2 W6? Thinking about putting a single W7 on a JL 1000/1 in my 2013 Camaro so I'd really like your answer.
msher1438
2 W 6's are louder for sure !!
msher1438
I personally like the w7 better.
Ashley Holtz I noticed you also tested 1 w6 and 1 w7. Was the w7 noticeably louder then the single w6?
msher1438
Yes! hit lower also
Ashley Holtz those low notes are what I'm after. Thanks for taking the time to reply! God bless!

It's very clean ! 2 JL audio 6.5 C2's off of a JL Audio 300/4. The only way to go is sealed !
@@ashleyholtz8020 I know this was 7 yrs ago but do you mean with the w6v3 that sealed is the only way ... Or is that a general statement ?
@@nickmusgrave8t he’s just stating his opinion, sealed is a really great option though especially when you know you have the output to reach a certain volume specifically because you get better accuracy with a sealed box.
just got my set from a friend, hope they fill my bass needs :)

How was the low end on these? Looks like they were packing a damn good punch
Love my jl audio from the 90's until they don't make them no more (That ain't gonna happen)..... Great video Appreciate you

Wow! I thought sundown, but JL beast
I like the W6v3 over the W7ae tbh
hey bro I just bought a jl hd 1200/1 which one you think puts out more power your v3 or mines?
1 ohm amp ? Or 4 ohm ?
This really feeling of bass
I brought an 600/v1 but I was going by an shop want me to get 12v1 but I am looking at the 12v3 but in 2ohm or the 4ohm.
hey what is the volume of the box and dimensions?
Which is louder? The 2 12 W6s or the 1 12W7?
is this the best sound quality sub or not?? i know its loud, but does it produce natural notes??
It just purrs as opposed to thumps. Definitely doesn’t sound right. Someone suggested 1 of the subs are wired at the wrong polarity
2 10" 3w's or 1 10" 6w? Opinions will be using a 600w amp
dude I really enjoy this I feel that I'm there nice !
Are those w6 dvc 4 ohm or 2 ohm 12 inch subs
Could someone tell me the pricing of these Subs thanks
What ohms are they wire too?
How are your ears after that? Sick setup bro!
Can I get a link to this song
sealeded box or ported
What do you think of a 10W3v3? I'm thinking about getting two in my truck
Dude, two sealed w3v3's powered by a JL HD750 will sound so clean & you will still feel it pound on your chest & feel the bass in your hair without draining so much power from your electrical

ported will be so much louder that u will really have to upgrade your mids & highs to go with all that ported bass, idk what your budget is
I have one 12w3v3 ported on 400 watts, wish I got a sealed 10 on 600 watts better :/ two w3 was out of my budget $$$
Most subs on video sound like crap. These sound great on video so in person I can only imagine. I run one on a kicker 750/1
Great subs..i picked up two of the 10 inch w6s...question did u upgrade your alternator?
no I didn't
Sealed or ported ?
Sealed
Built to JL Audio Specs
What's the name of that song. Just got my w6's
Song name is in the title "Feeling of Bass"
@@ashleyholtz8020 awesome 👌
Do you prefer sealed over ported cause I have the sealed I also have a Jl w6 sub
Always sealed !
+Ashley Holtz
have you tried ported ? A well made ported box will be just as smooth but louder.
+pepe salgado vc e brasilero
they are just a tad cleaner and smoother but never louder and a ported can do all three nicely.
I agree that sealed is a bit cleaner but you lose alot of output.
I have a 12w6v3. is the jl jx500/1d good enough to push the sub?
+Ashley Holtz Im using a 500 slashv1 but it's starting to give out. just was wondering since the amp sells really cheap for being jl
It would be ok as long as you wire the dual voice coils so you have a 2ohm impedance. That will give you the full 500W output at 14.4V. I ran two 12" Kickers off a JX500/1D for well over a year and it never gave me any issues. Since upgraded to 12w7ae and HD1200/1.
I would do the the jl 600 1v2 at 2 ohm
Wat is better for this subs a ported box or sealed?
Sealed is cleaner
W6 sound good sealed especially since there sq subs, there loud sq subs at that
And the box need to be big ,wide or doesn't ma
Leon Serrano make sure it's 1 cubic feet in volume for the 12 inch w6
.55 cube feet for the 10 inch
12 inch subs get boomy so getting it sealed should solve that annoying boomy bass that doesn't let u hear the words in music.
& hopefully u can put a good amp & overpower it just a little bit :D
I have the hifonics 1800 zrx
Time to upgrade from my mtx's
Awesome sounding subs btw!
You must have a really nice camera because the mic is barely distorting.
Part of the "distortion" you are hearing is the truck rattling a little:)
