[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8788008, member: 587645"] There could be 2 possible reasons why it sounds the way you describe. The first would be the tuning on the box is in a range that gives you peak in output that you find unpleasant. I didn't find any posted specs from JL about box tuning with a quick search unfortunately. The second is just a byproduct of a small sub in a small ported enclosure, they tend to roll off hard around 35hz with a peak around 40hz. You could try sealing up the port on the enclosure and seeing if you like the sound better. The 8w3 is a pretty nice driver. You probably just don't like the sound of a prefab ported enclosure.
