JL Audio W6

[Crich03 2]

First I want to say I love these woofers and after trying them I don't understand why they get so much hate. I've played rock, country, jazz, rap, r&b, and blues. The subs played every note with great detail and clarity. Right now I'm running them with a Sundown Audio SAX 1200d at 1 ohm, and I'm just blown away with how loud they are and how great they sound. If these subs sound this amazing in a ported prefab box(1.25 cubic ft per sub) I can't wait until I get one built.

No doubt man. I am currently using a 13W6 and it is a great sub. Shakes the car when it should and blends in beautifully with the front stage.

I had an XCON 15 in a large enclosure with a 3000W amp. I wanted some cargo area back so I switched up to the 13W6 in an enclosure half the size powered by a 600W amp. Love'n the JL setup.

BTW I traded my Fi BL 15 to get these 12 inch W6's

The W6 is a fantastic driver, anyone talking bad about them is obviously an ignorant sumbitch.

the BL isnt a very good choice for jazz anyway

Id like to get my hands on some of them w6's as well

After hearing them for myself I agree lol

Yeah after buying it I wished I would've bought the Q. Don't get me wrong the BL is an amazing driver and was stupid loud, but it doesn't really have the clarity of the W6

Hopefully I can get my hands on some W7's so I can hear those too.

Definitely not meant to be a sound quality driver, but it performs great for me, which is slammin lows and pounding double bass

Looks like you made a good trade through

JL is releasing something new in Jan '12. I am anxious to see what it is.

Fi, Sundown, T3 Audio, DC Audio (to name a few) all make a great products too.

[Adrian_D 520]

T3 actually makes something ?

The w6 is a great subwoofer. I think more of the hate is towards JL as a whole, mainly because of their procing. They make some great products. I think it's time for some new things from them.

I agree with you. I didn't realize how long each iteration of their W6 and W7 line last. The W6V2 released in like 2004 and the W7 has been out for 10 years and the technology they use is still relevant. They have a new fan.

I really couldn't believe that someone was trading me 2 W6's for just 1 Fi BL lol

Do you have the W6s or W6V2s? Both are great drivers, but the V2s are in their own league.

below is an old video from 2008 of two 12's on a single 500/1

Their pricing is one issue, but the main reason is their popularity. For quite some time, MANY people ran them and considered them the best. They quickly grew from a small company to one of, if not the best sub manufacturer in the industry. The W7 is still in a class of it's own. There are comparable products, but very few on the same level as the W7. JL has ALWAYS been a B&M company and they have worked very hard to protect their products and their dealers. Nothing holds it's value like a JL product.

I can't wait till I try the W7. As many as I see for $300 and $350 on CL I might have to grab 2 12's and put them to use lol
