I have 2 w6v2d4 from 2002 . I replaced the surround on both and they sound just as awesome as the day I purchased them. In my opinion the w6v2 was the best SOUNDING sub of all time.
To fix the shift is $65 plus $25 return shipping. That's just the motor. You'd have to cut the spider though too get the assembly out and then remove the frame's bolts.
Hello from Birmingham. I attempted my 1st speaker rebuilt last year, a 12w7. I am just now testing it via a. 40hz tone off RUclips using maybe 50w. I hear a slight buzzing sound. However if I press ever-so-slightly down on the spiders first outer roll, it stops buzzing. I'm a oldie in the 12v biz, but a newbie to your channel here on RUclips and must be honest with ya, i didn't use not 1 clamp when I glued the spider to the basket. I replaced the pinched coil ( magnet shift from plate ), spider, foam surround & opted for a stick on JL logo for the lost original one. Any immediate thoughts? Thanks in advance ~~
I have a couple of options. Just text me direct. 6023126504 Just let me know your name and shipping address, so I can add you to the phone. Then we can go over your options. I just finished a fancy one.
I would have loved to hear his A B comparison sound review going from a sealed W7 to a ported custom sub. Yes the sound should be different but the amount of extra output going ported should be drastic
Well, you'd have to add EQ to the sealed box for it to replicate what the ported box will be. It also depends on what frequency you tune the box at. You can tune it high for more SPL but since SQ is subjective, it's very tough to compare. Both are fine depending on your application. If you can do ported, do ported. If you don't have room or don't want a port... like in a marine application, then just go sealed and use the EQ or DSP to get the sound you want.

How come after the refoam on the w7 , the silver ring is very hard to push down on the new foam ? That’ll cause the aluminum clamp ring to be hard to put on . It’s obvious that the new foam will be a little thicker because it’s new . Therefore I will have to find another way of getting this ring to slide all the way down . Have you run across this issue ?
I use a pair of lineman pliers to massage the ring into place. Then you start with one end of the aluminum clamp and work your way around with a mallet

You’re more likely to damage your speaker by underpowering it than over powering it. Unless absurdly overpowering it and playing it like an idiot of course. But extra wattage = extra headroom. When you underpowered a speaker, you introduce clipping. Clipping = damage.
JL w7 subs just costs way too much for what it is. Even if I had $1300 to throw away, I'd rather get a set of Incriminator audio subs that hit harder and sound just as good.

@@whoseveret what kind of conditioner? I just got the 8w7
I've got 2 p212s4 subs from Rockford fosgate, i cant seem to find a recone kit anywhere on the internet and my one sub has some cone damage. any recommendations on a cone?
That's because they're not worth recone. Just buy new ones, better ones for $100 each.
@@RobotUnderground aweh, yeah im planning on building 2 15's from lord of bass for my car. the p2's don't sound bad I'm only after a recone because id like to continue to use them in my house.
ive got 2 of the p2's in a bassworx sealed box from back in the day on my gm 7200m. pushing 360w rms in 2ohm to both my subs that can do 400w rms together. tuned for 40-55hz
@@lecaptain6949 Yep, just look for some used subs near you.
@@RobotUnderground sadly the only used subs in my area is a single 15" he2.
The W7 will definitely get loud if the user knows what they’re doing especially with multiple
Oh I never said it didn't. I would just rather give American Bass $200 for the same thing
That box Doug made for the W7 in the f150 was a beast. And me being a fan of your channel since you came to me i still havent found a something I can work on. Im an I.t guy so I build computers so of course I would like to recone a sub but just still havent found one
Advertise or you can buy stuff off of me. You can also ask local shops to give / buy their dead.
@@RobotUnderground cool thanks for answering. I'm probably about in the same boat is this guy. I have a Nissan Xterra I'm wanting to do some nice bump with some really guys highs. Wanting to do more of a Sq build and what Amp would you do for that 15 you built
I agree
You definitely are looking out for the people who can't but will try to feed there musical basshead beasT..
It's always about balance
One day I’ll be able to acquire some of your wonderful work and then I’ll be happy in bass heaven 🔊 🔊

@@RobotUnderground truth I can see it now I start out with a 15 and then I’ll need two. Then I’ll justify some way to need 2 more until I end up with a wall of sound like the Grateful Dead 💀🤪
Hell if that’s the case start off with the 21’s
You have no idea how important JL Audio is in high end audio. SQ is everything. In home audio it's all about quality. Fathom, Gotham are sacrosanct. Car audio is another story......
Name a sub that has better sound quality than the w7. I've had the 12 and 13.5 and they both sound great.
Long list of plenty of other subs from TC Sounds, Rockford, Sundown and of course Robot Underground

You have a lot to learn in this car audio game bro. JL isn’t even top ten when it comes to SQ or SQL. I’m not trying to down you or anything, but don’t let brand loyalty blind you, always be willing to learn and try new products
@@SubwooferKing100 I have 25 years experience in car audio buddy. I helped build a world record spl vehicle in the early 2000s. You failed to name better subs.
@@delaneo100 Robot Underground just replied to you a list. I can copy and paste it or add more to the list if you want me too. Have you’ve ever heard of TC Sounds?
I think folks get confused with the price tag of that woofer being now a 1400 woofer = sound quality but the skar evl 12 to me has way better sq and has held up longer on the slash v1 1000 than the w7 by far if anything to me its an spl woofer and,paf, peaky as fu$k
I prefer the VXF myself.
@@joshholden8561 they gotta stiff suspension i know on higher notes theyll max out a little with my box but i can play any regular music full filt and run eq -1 db at 50 hertz and it sounds great
@@RobotUnderground i wish id bought a couple during theyre sale i think for the 15 it was only like 250
@@joshholden8561 lol. Nope. Soft spider and heavy coil. Pulled apart 6 of them now. They play to 27Hz.
😆 🤣 😂 😹
You’re more likely to damage your speaker by underpowering it than over powering it. Unless absurdly overpowering it and playing it like an idiot of course. But extra wattage = extra headroom. When you underpowered a speaker, you introduce clipping. Clipping = damage.
Not true. It's ALWAYS over powering it that kills it.

I could. Just need to powdercoat in satin black
JL w7 subs just costs way too much for what it is. Even if I had $1300 to throw away, I'd rather get a set of Incriminator audio subs that hit harder and sound just as good.
Just what 🤯🤣
Great video just bought one for $750cad regretting it right away
Lol this guy really talks down and talks crap about his customers and viewers 🤣
Who?
Hey, if the shoe fits, don't let the truth hurt ya feelers
Hey buddy where are you located? You can probably help me out I have a 12W7-3 and, i really want this sub back in my vehicle but it stopped working so, please contact me with your information thank you very much
