Default New JL Audio Sub

I debated on buying this for a while. Since I change cars often, this is very suitable for me. It is a TW1 ported box with a 400W integrated amp.
It sounds amazing! Very deep and clean bass.

Nice. My old Alpine Type R 10" just went out. Had it for 8 years. Just bought the new 5th gen one 2ohm DVC. Going to wire it into a 1ohm. Should push around 1200 watts lol.

Don't know about cars but I find that in boats (lots of them here obviously) when ever I hear a good sounding system they are running JL subs, seriously, they sound great

Is the speaker bolted on? How does it stay while driving? I got speakers that I want to install too. If I do, I won't be able to store the targa top. Hmmmz

Is that running from a stock stereo? Or is this part of a complete system?

It is close to 30 pounds, so sits there pretty well. I do have an aftermarket head unit, so I can control it better.

Are you running the stock speakers everywhere else and, if so, do you have the Bose setup? I just replaced my H/U hoping that I'd be able to hear the stereo a little better on the highway with the top off but it's still lacking a bit, so I'm wondering if this might do the trick.

Yes stock Bose with Kenwood HU. There are much better speakers made obviously, but with all the EQ settings on the HU the stock speakers really sound much better! And yes the sub will certainly fill in even at highway speed.

Some of the benefits of this all in one sub setup...

Can keep my cargo mat which I prefer
Quite cost effective when you price box, amp, sub separately
Good color match too
It has not moved one inch with normal driving

Looks like a really good idea and fairly easy to add. I replaced my head unit but still have some of the bose and need a bit more bass.

Appears that the top will just fit over it....I think I'll try one out.

Did you run a dedicated wire from the battery all the way back for the power? If so what gauge was needed?

Yes I did. I believe it is 8 gauge. I grounded at passenger seat bolt.
