Default JL Audio 10W0 Sub

Can anyone please give me the scoop on the JL 10W0 Subwoofer? This is discontinued, does anyone know when? How does this sub compare with what is out now? I have a stealth box that has this one in it and it was suppose to be a 6 month old box, but the JL web site doesn't show this one as the stock sub. Any help is appreciated before I go out and buy an amp to match to this.

Thanks
Dave

Thanks for the info. I did find the owners manual pdf, but I guess I was more concerned that I bought a Stealth Box that had the sub replaced since it was advertised as only being 6 months old. I guess since you had one back a ways and since its now discontinued that I bought a box that someone took the stock sub out and replaced with a cheaper sub.

And yes, it's coming out. I'm heading off to my installer this am, so I'm a little p**sed that I'm going to have to keep it, and take it apart and get it up to specs, for what I paid for it. I should have gotten educated before I bought it, that's my fault. But it was advertised being 6 months old and I knew what was in the ones that my local Tweeter was selling and I guess I just crossed up my numbers.

If I'm going to get into this and start taking stuff apart, I don't want to have to do it again when the sub I bought doesn't perform to where I wanted it.

Thanks for the help

Did you buy this from Ebay? I was watching one on Ebay and bid on it...bit I was surprised at the final price.
