rwhitaker04
06-17-2005, 04:14 PM
well they are-

12 inch
Dual 4 ohms
not to sure about the rms....or peak..they are very rare to find some w4's and even harder to find them in this perfect shape..

derek ill bring them to you for 225 in the jl box..? or we can work something out..

damn dude that's pretty high...

those w4 specs are:

200 watts RMS

and 1.25 sealed , and 2.5 ported.... blah.blah..blah..blah.....


if you would come down on the price quite a bit i'd be interested.... w3v2 subs which are alot better are 200 brand new with a warranty.... ***not post dumping just informing since nobody knows the specs on these..

rwhitaker04
06-18-2005, 08:39 AM
w3s arent better then these they are more on the lines as the same...and 200 for a w3 is outragous...they are a 140 dollar sub...and i said 225 but i can work with ya...but im not gonna ship them in the JL box which is what makes it worth 225..u find a JL Audio Bandpass box and price it...

the w3's were rated over 200 watts and w3v2's are even better than the originals rated at like 300 watts.. much better than w4's.. not saying that power ratings are the end all of speaker selection.... but the w4's aren't as good as the w3V2's atleast not imo... but ya.. i don't want the box just the subs... how much to buy?? email me some pics

drmisherre
06-21-2005, 06:40 PM
well how much would shipping cost if you shipped the box also? i was really only interested in the subs but if shipping isnt TOO bad then i could get the box also. what town do you live in? if you are close enough, it would be cheaper to just either meet somewhere or have me come pick them up? lmk thanks

06-21-2005, 09:12 PM
well for the subs it would be even..but if u want the box..imma need like 50...cause the box is nice..and thats what i would sell it for..if i had to keep it..

drmisherre
06-21-2005, 09:44 PM

rwhitaker04
06-21-2005, 09:49 PM

to find all the info about the w4's go to www.jlaudio.com

click on subwoofers

then where it lists the models click on discontinued

then find the w4's in the list...

they're good lower end subs..

drmisherre
06-23-2005, 11:58 AM
thanks for the help....
lower end meaning cheaper subs?
thanks

rwhitaker04
06-23-2005, 09:51 PM
hmm...well thanks cheeseburger dunno if ur tryin to help or just crush my thread...but anyways...the model of the sub, watts, all that doesnt matter..if u give these subs 200rms...they are gonna sound good...everyone thinks they need w7 (overrated) and they dont...ive heard these...on a planet audio 850.1 amp..and they sounded good..and werent cracking or peaking yet..if anyone knows anything bout jl...for one..they dont make LOW END stuff...for two...u can make 2 w3's just as loud as w6's so the number after the W doesnt matter..

You are just going by the website. Ive been listening to JL's for awhile now, I have the W3V1's right before the v2's came out, I blew the W3v1 and when the reconed them they used the w3v2 cone. Also talking to the local stereo shop that has had Jl's from the beginning and they say the W3v1 are just as good.

As far as the W4's they are good for taking up a little less space and sound damn close to a W3.... $225 shipped in a box isnt bad.

I had 4 W3v1 in my truck and they out hit a 2000 tahoe with 2 W6's in it. W6's werent any cleaner but did look cool and took up less space. And like you said JL does not make low end subs. They could have got alot more bass, etc... out of their subs but instead they go more for sound... Until the W6V2's and W7's came out they couldnt get a long excursion woofer to sound like they wanted.

rwhitaker04
06-23-2005, 10:23 PM
well i know i hooked them up..and granted they werent SPL record breaking..but the sound quality is unmatched...JL has some of the best...Sound Quality and Bass on the market...its hard very hard to find a sub with both bass and sq...and i myself think these jls are worth 225 in the box...plus they are very rare and in excellent shape...

i have 3 JLWO10's :( they arnt too bad,and that is the bottom of the list.rwhitaker,ya sell them 12's yet? let me know,i want them....Paul

06-23-2005, 11:53 PM
jl makes top notch subs... i have 2 15 w3's in my gf's suv and i personally just got rid of my setup of 3 12 w6v1's about 5 months ago..... but jl makes lower end and higher end subs... a w0 will not sound as good as a w7 for example... i would compare theese almost to the old w3's... the w4's were made for lower wattage smaller systems.... i wouldn't run more than 500 watts to the pair of w4's... just plain doesn't need it .. like all jl's they sound great and hit good... wasn't trying to squash your thread..

rwhitaker04
06-24-2005, 04:34 PM
nope i still got them..i got a few interested..but prolly tire kickers..

rwhitaker04
06-24-2005, 04:37 PM
but jl makes lower end and higher end subs... a w0 will not sound as good as a w7 for example...

well if u knew anything...logical..its not the size of the sub..that makes the sound...a w7 with 100rms is not gonna be as loud as say..a w3 or w0 with 100rms...so therefore thats the point im tryin to make...and for the lowend...call..jl and get laughed at for me..when u say lowerend...the correct term would prolly be for the SMALLER budget..

rwhitaker04
06-26-2005, 11:40 AM
still forsale..will trade for anything for my 400ex...id like to get some 9 inch rear beadlocks for it if anyone has any of them? lmk if they are in good shape i can include cash..

damn boy.. screw the correct terms you knew what i was talking about.. and you're an idiot if you put 100 watts on a w7... and where did i say anything about the size of a sub making the sound??

but... 4 12 w0's with their recommended wattage will be blown away by 1 13 w7 with it's recommended wattage... ....


bump for the most awesomist superduperist subs ever... lol... geez i was saying these are good subs leave it at that...

rwhitaker04
06-27-2005, 04:49 PM
wow..that guy knows his stuff..NOT...it doesnt matter if u gave a w7 alot of power...or a little power...u think just cause u give a sub the recommended power its gonna be loud..jeez man go get a w7 and do it..then come back to me so i can explain to you why u blew it cause of distortion...theres more factors into making subs sound good...then just power threw subs...and for someone like yourself obviously coming on here to talk like u know what the **** is going on..u should know that....u can get a w7 and a cheap headunit and it sounds like ****...the loudest jls i ever heard were 2 15w3's and it blew w7s out of the ****in water...so u can jump on the all mighty w7 band wagon..THEY ARENT THAT GOOD....and if u had some u would understand where i am coming from....

cheeseburger35
06-27-2005, 06:00 PM
:eek2:

wow.. look at my post up there bro.. i dont even own w7's but i definately like them... i own the same subs in the loudest setup you've ever heard... 15 w3's... the w7's have a really flat bl (bet you donn't even know what that is..).. which makes them prone to LOW distortion.. you can put loads of wattage on them SAFELY.. as long as you know what you're doing.. i took my gf's durango to a db drag and my buddies tahoe with 1 13 w7 pulled 151.8 with his daily driver system.. 2 1000/1's ...

my gf's suv with my 15 w3's will a planet audio 1250.d only got 143..... both are ported boxes tuned to 35hz....

don't act like i don't know what i'm talking about..

sorry for phucking up your thread but don't insult my intelligence stereo's are my shiit
