Model Reviewed: Jl Audio 15wo bought in 2004

Strength:

Nice loud, long carry bass and tight roll over. Has Great sound quality and produces ear splitting pressure in Jeep with window up.

Weakness:

Have yet to see any.

I have 1 15wo and an old school Rockford Punch 200 cast iron series. Speaker is in air tight box hooked to 1 channel. Not even bridged. The amp puts a hurtin on em. I can be heard 4 blocks away. here that is about 1/2 mile. Paired up with sony CDX-F7700 MP3 head unit and 4 gauge amp kit. I can drive by my house and shake every window in the whole house. I will be installing another 15wo on other channel of amp. I have install systems for about 6 years. This set impresses me for the money.

Strength:

Thumps like hell, makes the car shake like a turkey on xmas.

Weakness:

Mine doesnt really play as well as Id like at low frequeny as I would, but I must admit the amp Im running is pushing out about 50-60 RMS to the sub, it is underpowered at the moment and it is most likely due to this

I dont see what Kenneths issue is with the 15W0, I've got one which plays like a freakin dream,mabey the installation or his amp was not suited for it?,Im running a 1000watt starsound on this sub and it hammers,pumps n thumps like hell,A BRILLIANT BUY

Strength:

Price

Weakness:

Bad SQ, high distortion

I honestly dont see why you people like these subs. I had 2 of them in an eclipse with a 1200 watt amp and i thought these speakers sucked. they sounded like 2 regualr 12"s and mine had bad SQ. I like JL audio i now have 2 15w3's and i love them. I tried several boxes and the 15wo's sounded like ass in all of them. i would definately not recommend them to anyone. they distort to easily.

Strength:

Tolerance of crappy amp and box. Phenomenal SQ.

Weakness:

None that I've noticed.

I picked up 2 of these subs from a friend who was moving, proceeded to get a box from the local flea market for $25 and an amp(sony xm2150gsx) for $140. I already had my car(97 buick lesabre) wired from my last subs. WOW! I was only able to use one of the subs 'cause my cat destroyed the other :( but this sub is very good. The bass hits pretty hard even with a crappy amp and a generic box. The sq simply blows me away. I listen to everything from classical to rap to country to tejano to rock etc. Killer sound on all fronts. Recomended unequivicaly for anybody on a budget. Plan to replace with 15w3v2 and 500/1 jl amp next month. I can't wait...

Model Reviewed: 97 or so 15W-0

Strength:

Extreme Low Bass, wow, what more can i say? dont need much power, just have clean amp power and your set, sounds best with low bass rap music

Weakness:

doesnt hit bass if you listen to a rock cd mostly sounds best with heavy bass music but still i would pay retail for these babies.

My dad had no use for these subs after they were givin to him in replace of a late payment. I couldnt fit a dual pro box in my trunk! and i have a huge trunk! anyway i got a single 15" ProBox and put one of the JLW0-15's in there and WOW they stunned me! i could not believe how low this sucker would go. At the time i had them hooked up to a memphis power bass 1000watt mono channel amp. I probally had over 300 watts going to it and it flexed my trunk. The bass is so low you can feel it hittin these subs are excelent value for normal retail price. I highly reccomend them for all the bass heads out there.

Strength:

gives you a free full body massage

Weakness:

gives you full body massage so you fall asleep while driving, kind of unstiff dustcap

I bought my 10 inch JL AUDIO W0 sub brand new and put it in my 1997 chevy extended cab pickup under the backseat powered by a Boss audio 220 watt rms amp. My one 10 hit harder than my friends 2 12s and mine were still clearer. Another friend has 2 10 comp vrs my one walked all over those. the only thing that comes close or beats my WO is a W3, W6, W7, or Solo Baric 15L7. JL AUDIO FOR LIFE.

Model Reviewed: 1997

Strength:

Power Handling & Low frequency sound reproduction.

Weakness:

Lack of factory produced "ported" boxes

I have read some of the reviews and I must say you guys got it all wrong. I had 2 10W-1''S and I beat the living crap out of them. I had an audiocontrol bass signal modulator . it polishes the signal to the specs of the speaker. for example if the specs say the optimum signal input is 33.3Hz you can set it to that!! so the only signal your speaker is getting is the perfect input signal. My speakers can hit any signal!!! I have slaughtered people with systems 3x as expensive as my own!!! Focus on signal polishing first and sound reproduction must and will follow. I''M tellin you all......Kicker sola baric, MTX, Infinity ect ect..have nothing on a properly tuned JL.
