I just put in 2 JL audio 12" W3 V4's in a custome box and a JL 500 amp. I love the bass...100 times better over stock....I just wonder when the car companys are going to fade away from the speakers they sell at best buy... got to love JL....good stuff at a decent price.

JL are nice. i dont have the cash to get them tho. i had to get kickers. i wish i could have goten the JLs.

If you can afford them, JL Audio and Rockford Fosgate are the best, but for those on a cheaper budget, or rather put more into other things, there are a few out there that arent bad for the mone. Unfortunately my two 15" RF's wont fit in my SS, so I'll prolly put them in w/e 4x4 beater i get, unless someone near me is interested, but that is all, dont wanna turn this into a classifieds add.

you cant slide them in slide them in through the back seat? thats how i got my subs in to my car. but i only have 12".

i got a "custom"(mirrors,chrome,etc.) bandpass box, so it's bigger then the reg. boxes you see most sub's in, i've measured the box, now i just gotta measure the opening,, but visually, it doesnt look big enough, maybe removign the back seat will give me a little bit more room? if nething, I'ma wait untill they come up w/ one of the set-ups like they have for the Cavy's and Sunfires that have the Fiberglass or Carbonfiber set-ups to replace the rear seat. I had the system in a 98 Grand Prix GT, big diff in trunk room

well, i just checked and the box is about 1in. too tall, and then it would still be rubbing the top of the opening, maybe i can just find a smaller one that will still have the right area for the subs to work right

B/c not everyone wants a back massage when they turn up the radio. Besides they would need to offer more than just the subs in a package.

Also, decent price??? from what I know they are one of the most expensive.


On a side note... does the cobalt trunk rattle a lot from the subs?

tiny

the back way into the trunk is just as tall, i removed the whole interior to try


how bad does the Jl make it rattle?

I have a 1000 watt MTX amp and two MTX 12's in my 06 SS and the car rattles horribly. I don't even suggest putting a system into these cars.

tiny

i agree

Yea when i test drove one the car seemed to be put together with cheap plactic however if i could find out where the car rattles I can buy some of that sound proffing stuff they saell at my local custuk shop "Excessive Audio and Sound" I hope that will work becasue I loooove basssss

well im going all out with the system...im pulling the factory sub...installing an amp there and one on the other side....Then I also have 2 10'' W3D4 subs...This weekend im pulling the whole car apart and dynamating the whole car...and try to isolate any rattles that I can...Wont have any trunk space but I should be able to do some sound off compatitions next spring..We will see

i put a 12" W3V2 or something like that.... 400watt max or w/e it was... got an alpine v12 350watt mono amp to it... puts out almost 450 watts... sounds great in my cavy... JL is awesome... so are ALPINE AMPS

dont need that much power... still b00ms like no other. hard hitting

tiny

i used 100 sq ft of dynamat, good luck

xonic

You used 100ft and it still rattles bad?

Any one interested in custom fiberglass how 2 videos?? I have the gcf 5.1, 6.0, and 7.0 -- Great information for a fiberglass newbie or the experienced installer. door pods, door panels, sub enclousers, in dash fabrication, rear deck pods and much more!! I paid 159.99 plus shipping for this set but will let it go for 130.00 including shipping. Private message if interested. Thanks.

does anyone know how much the MTX Jackhammer is? That thing is insane

italstalnprd86

i dont know, I think alpine type r and x subs would blow anything from rockford away, I have 2 type r 12's in mine with a JL 500x1, and it hits hard. I am going to get another 500x1 and run each of them with one, i think that would be a lot louder than just buying a 1000x1. As far as clarity, I have all type r speakers, 6 1/2 components up front, and 6 1/2 coaxials in the back, i want to get the type x components, but they are extremely expensive, i will get the ivad301 before i get those speakers....... Is say JL and Alpine are the best, but the alpines are a little cheaper, as far as the speakers go....... Someday when i win the lotto, I would def. get a 12W7, but the damn thing weighs like 52 pounds without a box....... not going to do much for the SS's acceleration...... lol

I'd imagine it's quite expensive...but you'd have to be a fool to put it in anything other than a showcar unless you have gobs of money to waste.

Did you see the pimp my ride episode where they put it in the car? 3 batteries 6 capacitors and 5 amps.. hit 139 dB though....crazy for just one sub...350lbs sub tho.

tiny

ohhhhhhhhh yea
but only the higher frequencies **** me off

slowbalt

JL doesn't have a 12 w3 v4. They haven't made a fourth version yet. The most current version is the second or v2.

yeah that gonna bet nutz i got a pair of 10's myself but im gonna ask why not just go to the w7's sounds like you spent enought you could have covered them hell one 10 in a ported is nutz but since you have to amps go with a pair of 10's in a sealed therfore better sound quality and still have stupid amount of bass
