I received this item in a box with nothing but the speaker inside. No padding at all. Upon inspection I realized that it is not even the correct item. Instead of a JL AUDIO 12W3V3 that I ordered, I received the previous model the 12W3V2. Further more the condition was not to my liking either. It was a terrible buy!

How do you know when you have a good subwoofer? When you replace a bad one and the new one really comes alive.

I bought this based on reviews all over the place after rushing into my first sub that was a shallow sub and was basically silent most of the time. It did not do the job it was intended to do.
This JL 12W3 does do the job. It takes up more room for certain, and with a prefab vented enclosure takes up about a fourth of my small SUV's cargo area, but I have learned that you really need the volume to get really good bass. This one delivers.
I put it in a 1.7 cuft. ported pre-fab subwoofer box and it sounds awesome. I did line the sub box inner walls with layers of polyfill sheets (purchased from a fabric store as crib cushion fill). This cut down on unwanted higher frequency reflections exiting the port. The result is deep rich bass without the boomy peakiness of most ported enclosures.

Highly recommended as your subwoofer solution.

i only have JL in one of my cars. i could have gone the route to get a 15" L5 but i was looking for accurate smooth bass. WOW! is all i can say, it sounds amazing, JL has done it again, this bad boy is loud 141db loud in a sealed box. i know that JL is pricey, however, its worth every penny!
