To be quite honest with u...The only **** JL sub that has ever impressed me was the w6v2s and the w7..The subs are rather decent, have great SQ and maintain a good level of SPL at that...The only thing of it is, they are over priced like a *****..but Like i mentioned in an earlier post, They are priced so high because of all the Technology that has been placed into them...not to mention is JL AUDIO //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif .....The w0's are a low-level sub, not really having great SQ or great SPl..There just one of those "Self-pleasing" subs...lol....The w3 with all its design problems and what-not..Its a decent SQ sub which can get rather loud..depending on what u like...The only thing I suggest for the w0's and w3's is Keep them near RMS at all times..yes they can handle a lot more power, but if u havent put a well-thought out box into the mix...Your not gonna be liking them all that much..And yes the w3s do pretty good in Sealed enclosures, but as in-efficient as they are, I would recommend putting them ina ported box...And dont go tuning the ported box for **** SQ cause u really take a lot of the subs efficeny AWAY from it..Personally if someone were to offer me 10 12" Jlw3s for $5...I'd go tell the...are u crazy..Wendys is havig the VALUE MEAL TODAY...LOL..But I'm not trying to sit here and critize JL..They are a decent manufactor and have there qualities, but then again just LIKE every other company of Car audio..Has there downfalls as well...I think JL's downfall is the price of there product line..But before I go typing PAGES AND PAGES of stuff, I'm gonna leave it at this!! I've basically repeated this like twice..lol..Gonna LEAVE IT BE NOW!!
