JL 8w3v3

I am getting one of these dirt cheap, JL recommends .35 @ 35hz. I have a nice box built for my truck that is. 46 @35hz. Do you think the sub I'll act fine in that box?

Just looking back at discontinued models, all the previous models of the w3 wanted .75 cubed and the v3 wants .35 cubed. I don't see how a tenth could affect it too much. I think I am going to give it a shot unless someone can recommend a sub for .46 @ 35 that I would be better off with.

You should be fine. I had some 10w3's the new models and they did well in just about any enclosure. They sounded great but just didnt have the deep lows like I wanted. With sealed at that size dont expect much in the way of output

Thanks, It's a ported box

How much are you getting the sub for if you don't mind me asking? A better idea would probably be to sell it on craigslist cause you can get pretty good money for anything JL on there and then buy a better 8". SA8 either the v1 or v2. both are going pretty cheap on here. The alpine type r 8" also. There are quite a few 8" subs that run cheap that will give you more output than that JL. How much power you gonna run to it?

I'll set it with a dmm, I can send 230@4ohm 400 at 2 ohm or 600 at 1 ohm. I'm getting it for $80. The Type R 8 is definetly an option for $100 off ebay. I need a sub with a mounting depth less than 4.75"

I'm thinking that the Alpine Type R 8" would be a good alternative after some research.
