JL Audio 10W1v3-4
Crutchfield customer from East Lynn, MA on 10/13/2020
2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
Upgraded from an 8" underseat Kicker to this 10" in the trunk and it's a huge improvement. Coupled the sub with front speakers and tweeters from JL - the sounds is clear and full, and the bass...heavenly.

Clean bass

JL subs are always great and this one is no different. I'm pushing only 500w (clean) to this sub in a .5cuft box in an Audi S5 Sportback and it's so clean and tight.

Great shallow mount woofers
Robert from Mount Dora, FL on 8/17/2020
Great looking woofer. Needed something with less than 5" mounting depth for install in a sub box behind the rear seats of my pick up truck. Solid performance so far, and I expect I'll get great results for many years to come.

The bass is incredible. Looks great. Plays great. Got a downfire subwoofer box built to fit the subs specs and it hits perfectly. Had jl audio back in the day and loved them. These are even better than I remember.
Pros: Hit hard. Fits in a small space.
Cons: none

10" replacement for auto subwoofer
Crutchfield customer from Temple, TX on 6/30/2019
Owning a Bazooka Tube I have used JL Audio twice as replacements with the first one lasting 12 years in the back of a convertible. Sun rot is destructive to most speakers but the JL Audio 10" worked well.

Nice
DG from Florida on 1/25/2019
Replaced a pair of older JL 10W0's in a JL Stealthbox. The 10W0's foam surrounds fell apart. JL recommended the new 10W0's or these 10W1's for the enclosure. The subs are down-firing in that Stealthbox and I'm only powering them with 250 watts total so really didn't expect much advantage in terms of performance between the W0's and the W1's. I bit the bullet and spent the extra on these W1's mainly because the surrounds should hold up much better on these W1's. I can't swear that these perform any better than the W0's that came out of the box but they are definitely better built and nicer looking than the old W0's and probably a lot of the JL's of the past. And they do perform well in the old Stealthbox. No regrets other than my wallet side cheek still a being a little sore.
Pros: Good performers without a ton of power. Better built than the older versions. Butyl surrounds should hold up better than foam. Work great as replacements in my old Stealthbox.
Cons: A bit overpriced.

Smooth, powerful bass
David from Henrico, VA on 9/22/2018
2004 Jaguar S-Type
I recently installed a single 10W1v3-4 using a sealed Sound Ordinance enclosure and powered by an Alpine PDR-V75 amp. The amp capable of pushing a 2 ohm sub but I figured the 4 ohm version would be a little easier on the amp. The sound quality is outstanding. I was a little worried that a single sub wouldn't be enough but it has been more than up to the task for my tastes. The sealed box means I don't get thumping base but rather a smooth, mellow sound. You know that it's there but it doesn't overpower the rest of the frequencies. With proper tuning, there is no distortion even at higher volumes. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase and look forward to great sound for a number of years.
Pros: Great sound, deep base, small size
Cons:

JL Audio 10W1v3-4
Jonathan from Corsicana, TX on 9/2/2018
Wow I've had a lot of subs in my time. Kinda a sub critic and if I may, these have to be the BEST by far that I've ever heard. The bass is so pure it sounds as if it's just pours out of the doors of my truck like a river flowing. ????
Pros: Extreme sound! Pure Clean Loud No distortion Perfect for 1.0cft. ported box. Perfect match
Cons: What took so long to order

Crutchfield customer from Marana, AZ on 3/15/2018
This Sub is incredible. Running on a JL Audio 6 Channel on Channel 5 and 6 bridged for 200 Watts. Huge difference from the 12 inch Infinity I had. This 10 kicks it's butt! The Clarity is so much better it is unreal!

Pros: Great sounding , well built speakers plus the the optional grills help to protect them in my work vehicle.

high quality smooth bass
Crutchfield customer from North Plainfield, NJ on 9/15/2017
2011 Nissan Juke
This is an excellent sub for a smaller enclosure. It puts out high quality smooth bass. Its sensitive and accurate to changes in the bass frequencies. I'm running it off an Alpine PDX-M6 635 watts. I'm 50 so I've had many many subwoofers. I have 2 sub boxes that I switch back and forth in my Nissan Juke hatch. I use the JL in a small sealed enclosure for my daily commute to work for medium volume high quality sound and still have room in the hatch for other items. For the weekends when I want to get crazy I pop in the RFP3 in its huge ported enclosure. I can roll down all the windows, let back the sunroof, drive 75mph and have no lack of bass. The JL can't do that. It doesn't have enough output. I love my JL but wouldn't have it as my only sub due to lack of output with windows down on the highway.
Pros: quality of the bass at all bass frequencies
Cons: price , lack of output for the price

Small space, Great bass
mac from Myrtlebeach, SC on 4/10/2017
I have a gmc crew cab no space at all but the stealthbox with the new v3's installed makes a great combination. ZzzI had the 10w1v1 forever. I just purchased the v3's and it was a much better sound. After ten yrs of using the v1's the quality of the speakers has changed drastically. I have 4 infinity kappa perfect 6 1/2 in my doors with a pair of v3's in a jl audio stealthbox runing a 500/1 on the subs and mtx thunder 400/4 on the kappa perfect. Next purchase will be the RD 900/5. If I had an extra 400 I would buy the HD 900/5.
Pros: With the limited space I have, these speakers exceeded my expectations
Cons: None at all

Not for hip hop/techno
Jonathan from Wailuku, HI on 4/13/2016
2012 Lexus IS250
Needed shallow mount subs for my IS250 and decided to try two 10's vs one 12. I listen to 99% rap/techno and these subs simply don't have enough low end oomph and extension. The subs will probably be ok for pop/rock listeners. Build quality and overall performance is appropriate for the price point. Ordered a JL 12TW3 shallow mount sub to run in a ported box.
Pros: Shallow mounting depth. With no pole vent, the back of the sub can be placed against a wall of the enclosure. Tiny sealed box size.
Cons: Not for rap/techno listeners

Slim but not Shallow
Travis from Vermont on 3/9/2016
I used these to replace my 10"kicker comp cwrt's. The jl 10w1v3's play at a higher volume before bottoming out. Even though they are 100watts rms less and only single voice coil these 10s slam. I have 2 of them behind the back seat of a 2014 toyota tundra crewmax. Believe me there's not much room back there for anything else. So far these have been the best soundin/loudest subs I have tried in this truck and I have had RF shallows and kickers back there. JL Audio is the way to go. They are playing in a ported box behind my 2014s seat. Pay once, cry once
Pros: Takes up minimal space and requires little power. It's a slim sub but not a shallow sub!
Cons: I wish jl made the same 12 with similar mounting depth. In my application space is very limited. They also went on sale 2 weeks after I bought them....

JL Sealed 10" W1-- 4ohm... AWESOME
Ima D Boss from fairless hills, PA on 2/28/2016
Although this isn't a W3 or higher, matched with a good amp (in this case an Alpine 250W) it was more than what I expected. For the money, it can't be beat. I really pushed this sub with limited power an it performed flawlessly. Clean, clear, LOW BASS.
Pros: Excellent performance for the money. Great, clean bass if a good amp pushing it.
Cons: Looks strange with the lip, but you're not looking at what it can do, you're HEARING it... Not really a CON.

Great update
Erok from Arlington, VA on 8/13/2015
Great product. I originally owned the v2 which latest nearly 8 years and always played at max volume. The latest version is of the same build quality and sounds slightly better.
Pros: Build quality and sound quality. Top notch
Cons: None

Great subs for tighter spaces!
Bryan from Ky on 4/9/2015
These subs sound great! I replaced a pair of crossfire idb3 10's with these subs. Can tell a big difference in clarity and power. They have really clear deep bass. I have a regular cab truck so they fit easily in a truck box behind the seat. I'm pushing them with a JL audio XD600/1V2 amp. Perfect combination if you ask me.
Pros: Fits in a truck box behind the seat. Really good subs for the money!
Cons: None that I have found so far.

did i get a broken one?
Big D from wausau wi on 10/26/2014
Bought one of these to replace factory Bose sub in my car. It sounds nice if you listen to a lot of talk radio. I added a separate amp to drive this(300 rms) onto factory system. Put it in, with a good chunk of trimming and fab work for a box(.65 ft3) sealed in to stock location. It is about 20% louder than stock before it gets sloppy. I have an old cheap sub that sounds just about as good. Wanted to keep trunk space,but my alpine type R crushes this thing. I personally was dissappointed with this sub. The price I paid for it made it even worse. Live and learn I guess. Listen before you buy.....internet reviews are sketchy.

OH YEAH!!!
jpharrison from Burke, VA on 8/10/2014
I originally had the JL 10w1v2-4 for 6 years and it was great. I ended up giving to my sister for her birthday for her car. I wanted something similar so I called in and the customer service rep suggested the v3 of same sub. It was shipped and I received it the next day. Installation was quick and easy. The sound is amazing. Sound is crisper, the bass hits lower and deeper. Overall the sound quality is better and my friends are jealous. Value was good and the whole buying experience was amazing.
Pros: Crisper sound, deeper bass, sub seems to hit harder.
Cons: none

Great speakers /Dissapointed on delivery
Crutchfield customer from Neches, Tx on 3/27/2014
Have just bought two of these and have always been a JL audio fan. I received them today, and was very disappointed in how they were shipped. The box that Crutchfield shipped it in was very flemsy and had the speaker boxes falling out of the bottom almost, and half the Crutchfield tape half already torn apart on top. Of course that could be ups fault with shipping, I can understand some of that, but upon opening into the individual sub boxes, I find that the inside of one had the speaker had been pushed down, but not enough to damage the speaker and thankful for that. And in the other one, out of all things, there was PINESTRAW inside it. Not a lot, but enough to make you wonder where these are being stored. How does that happen? The speakers themselves luckily look ok, and if they are the JL audio speakers I have had in the past then I'll be happy with em. They do look and sound great! But I will definitely think twice, before ordering again.
Pros: Great speakers The brand to have!
Cons: Very disappointed in how they were shipped.

Outstanding sound quality and hard hitting!
Rob from Montgomery, Alabama on 7/8/2013
These speakers replaced 11 year old speakers that were in the 02 S10 Ext.Cab stealthbox. Using a JL 500w amp they hit harder and are cleaner than the older series.
Pros: Great sound quality, hard hitting! If they are anything like the old ones, looking forward to many many years of use!
Cons: Had to "remove" some of the rubber from the mounting surround, they don't fit into the stealthbox if you leave the rubber. However, once the rubber was "moved" they fit perfect!

Amazing Loudness and Quality
Dstar23 from Texas on 5/13/2013
I have 2 of these bad subs in my f150 under the back seat in rhino lined sealed box being pushed by my MTX audio thunder 1000.1 amp! I was amazed on the amount of bass these subs put out! Also no matter how loud I crank it, the quality isn't distorted. If you want some bad subs with limited amount of space, these are them!
Pros: Compact, Loud, Quality, Reasonable Price! No reason not to get them!
Cons: None at all!
