I've used these subs for years in multiple applications.
Crutchfield customer from Sharpsville, PA on 5/30/2020
I'm using this speaker in an atypical fashion, I'm using it as a replacement speaker in my 300w Sony active sub for my home theater system, and it works phenomenally. The speaker it replaced was the same speaker just 20+ years older. Fantastic output and quality bass.
Pros: Great bass signature and overall sound for the price.
Cons: I've been using this speaker for over 20 years and can't say anything bad about it.

JL quality...

Same quality that I remember from JL when I used them years ago. This sub knocks pretty hard for a stand alone. Would recommend for someone that doesn't want to spend the money for one of their higher end subs but still demands great sound.
Pros: Great price, unmatched quality on a budget sub.
Cons: None so far.

Best subwoofers in the price class
Crutchfield customer from Meriden, CT on 9/9/2019
I bought two of these in a dual ported box with a fosgate 500x1 amp and the pound. I've had a lot of other subwoofers before Memphis, kicker, fosgate, etc and these are the best sound. By far.
Pros: Loud precise bass, 300-500 watt amp will work fine. Solid construction. Clean look
Cons: Maybe the price is a little high but you get what you pay for. None other than price.

Was never actually able to hook up and hear the speaker in my enclosure as since the plastic trim ring is not removable it would not fit. If that piece was removable I'm sure it would have been great but alas it was not. JL should really rethink this.
Pros:
Cons: Plastic trim ring not removable effecting how the speaker will fit in an existing enclosure.

Brian from Idaho on 3/14/2018
These things kick major a** I have two of them in a sealed box with only 500 watts and they make my teeth vibrate. I had a neighbor across the street and two houses down complain that my stereo was shaking pictures on his wall, and my windows were rolled up! I absolutely recommend these subs they are the best you will ever get for the price. I did the install myself it was my first time. Easy to do with the help of a five minute YouTube video.
Pros: Smooth, quality sound. Very loud.
Cons: Angry neighbors

JL Audio has always been the cleanest sounding sub out there!
Lou from Shelton, CT on 8/22/2017
I've been using JL Audio subs for over 20 years now. These WOv3's hit as hard and as deep as their original W6 line - although most of you are too young to be aware of those. I'm currently running a pair of these on a JX1000/1d and they shake my entire Audi A4.
Pros: Affordable, good excursion in a ported box, looks nice as well.
Cons: Be careful with how much power you give them. 500 watts RMS toasted one of them on me. (Yes, that's more power than recommended.)

All other reviews are true
Derek from Santa Cruz on 6/12/2017
Oops reviewed in the Pros and Cons section. But these are amazing!!!
Pros: Cost,clarity,true bass reproduction. Easy replacement. I replaced 2 older JLs that were 15 years old and had ripped. They were a more expensive version. Dual voice bigger magnet etc. and these new JL v3. 12W4 are amazing. I'm running Alpine deck and amps 1000 watt and Audio Control Epicenter. Still hitting 140 on the SPL meter! Happy as can be. I was skeptical until I heard them. I was trying for less bass because I'm getting older but if it's too loud you're too old. Haha
Cons: None at all

Joseph from Duluth, GA on 3/14/2017

I installed two of these in a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JKU. They are wired in parallel to create a 2 ohm load to a Pioneer Class D amplifier at 500 watts RMS. At 250 watts RMS each, they produce a nice clean bass sound. I listen to rock and my teenage daughter listens to rap/hip-hop. We are both very pleased with the sound.

2004 dodge with Fox acoustic speaker box
Chris from NEW Mexico on 7/18/2016
I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 with the Fox Acoustic speaker box, it's ported with 1.55 cubic feet per side and these speakers sound amazing now that they're broke in. I was kind of disappointed at first, but it been a month and the last couple of weeks they've really come alive! So be patient with them and you'll get some awesome bass.... I'm running the ported Fox box, but with my experience with JL, I wished I would have used the sealed box. Anyway, I'm running the Rockford Fosgate 500 mono amp for the subs and Infinity Kappa up graded mids and highs off the Rockford Fosgate 300 watt (I think it's 300 watt) either way Rockford Fosgate 4 channel and it sounds great! Thanks Crutchfield....

JL to replace my paradigm?
Waylon W. from Lincoln NE on 7/18/2016
1998 Chevrolet Tahoe
Well my 2001 12" Paradigm home theater sub finally rotted at the foam. After some research and a few quotes from local repair shops, it was either trash it and buy a new one, or pay 1/2 the price of the JL for foam, or buy a drop in replacement 12" sub. Recently converted my boat to JL equipment and am extremely happy, so I thought what the heck! Swapped with my blown Paradigm sub... Sounds phenomenal (had to pick up a few pictures off the floor:). It works for all of those who may be wondering.
Pros: Great sound, awesome looks. Great price for quality!!!

Great sub for the buck!
James from Waldorf MD on 9/29/2015
Great sub. I was never a real fan of the W0 series before. Mainly because I have used W3's and W6's in the past. Since I decided to do a budget bass system THIS TIME (dont ask how much I have spent in the past) I was going to try MTX. Mind you, my other system in my other car consists of JL Audio HD750 and the 10 in HO box (dual 10s). I almost went wth another brand until I saw this sub and the JX500/1D. The two of these together in a sealed box make for killer bass. More than enough to make people in traffic roll their windows up. LOL. Need a budget high quality sub? Look no further!
Pros: Price, quality
Cons: none

Love it
nmarcano3 from Texas on 9/11/2015
I didn't think that for just a simple 300 watt sub, it'd be THIS loud. Granted it doesn't exactly shake the neighborhood (I can't stand idiots who buy subs just to make noise), the quality is amazing. Run it probably around 120 watts and it's perfect. 99 Civic and the box built to JL's ported dimensions. Miscalculated and have it tuned to a higher frequency, which I plan to fix later, but it still gets those lows. Powered by a cheap Boss amp.
Pros: Loud and clear
Cons: None

Trent from Caney, Kansas on 8/9/2014
I had a pair of 2 10" Rockford Fosgates hooked up in the back of my truck and I wasn't very satisfied and wanted more boom at a reasonable price so I decided to buy 2 12" Jl w0's and they are very boomy with great sound quality... I was skeptical at first because of high prices but these subwoofers performed at a very high rate for the money definitely a reasonable price for the subs... Great subwoofers all around if your lookin to get great subs get these they will out perform just about every subs out there for this price no doubt. I am very satisfied with the shipping and the product.

The best in every category
Patrick from State Center, IA on 4/6/2014
For the money, this is the best 4-ohm sub hands-down, period. Mounted in the proper box, these subs will put out equally loud and clear bass all theough the low band. And these have always been underrated... they can handle more RMS wattage than claimed, shake the earth, and sound 100% crisp and clear all at the same time, and they hold up over the years and sound perfect year-to-year. I wouldn't change out this sub for ANY other at this price, or much higher price for that matter. I have done Kicker, MTX, Polk, and countless lesser brand installs. These JL's are the best money pound-for-pound you will pay for a sub. The others do not come close in any category.
Pros: Huge volume, clarity and quality is superb, bass response is even at all levels, can handle enormous amounts of power for years.
Cons: None

Greg from Glendale, CA on 3/24/2014
For the money, it's fantastic. It adds a lot more bass to music, it makes it more fun. This is the one of the lowest models in the series, but it hits much harder than what I need it for. I'm currently supplying power to this with the Alpine MRV-M500 amplifier and it's just perfect.
Pros: Wonderful value Capability of being much louder than I'll ever need Looks great

keegan from Kent, WA on 3/9/2014
This was the last part to my speaker system. I have changed out the stock head unit for a Kenwood head unit. Changed out the front speakers for infinity speakers and the back for Rockford Fosgate speakers and now added this sub in a ported box. I have no complaints about anything in the entire system. It is the best sounding setup I have ever heard and all I can say is wow. I am completely satisfied with this subwoofer and crutchfield.
Pros: Loud when I want it. Sounds very good no matter the type of music. Hits hard. Blends perfectly with the rest of the music.
Cons: I can't really think of any.

Hard hitting and solid
Bass lover from New Jersey on 5/28/2013
JL Audio is in my opinion the cleanest sounding bass producing subwoofers on the market. I previously had 2 10" in an old car. My new vehicle, suv, I decided 1 12" would be enough in a ported box. Man does this hit hard. I was originally looking at the JL Basswedge but for less money I bought the same 12" sub and I Bass Bunker ported box, and am very happy with the results. At the price this 12" JL sub is alot of bang for you buck.
Pros: Great price, looks good, quality feel, hard hitting bass.
Cons: None that I found so far. Great sub.

Great Speaker - Perfect balance
AnthonyC from Florida on 5/22/2013
This speaker is part of my system in my ext cab F-150 XLT. It is powered by an Alpine 500W amp (producing 300W @4 Ohms) in a Sound Ordnance 1.80 CuFt ported Bass Bunker. It is paired with Infinity Kappa custom 2 ways at 110W each powered by a JL 360/2 producing 110W per channel @ 2 ohms. The speaker is amazing and fill the cab with deep clean bass. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a moderate amount of bass in a small area who listens to EDM, Dance, Hip-Hop, Rap, Etc...

Clean Clean sound
Loud Music from West Palm Beach, FL on 10/10/2012
I bought two of these with a matching 600watt JL amp. The sound clarity from the subs is amazing. The bass is very good when the volume is high. The bass won't knock your socks off, but It still rattles the trunk of my 2010 Toyota camry. Overall great great subs if you're looking for some great bass and still want to be able to hear the words from your song at the same time.
Pros: Clean sound. clear and crisp.
Cons: not too much bass.

Great Sub for the money
SoulMan76 from Poconos on 8/30/2012
This sub came with my Kia Soul Stealtbox kit, in a premade, sealed enclosure. Does it SLAM!!, no not really. Is it clean sounding, powerful enough to fill the soul with Plenty of bass, yes! It may cost a few more dollars than some other brands, but watt for watt, JL subs always deliver. They are clean, articulate, and can go pretty deep for a sealed sub with only 200watts of power from my XD600/6 (awesome amp BTW). It just plain sounds great. This is a low watt 12" that is not meant to be a earthquake maker. If you prefer sound quality over loudness, and you don't need to have your neighbors china to fall off the shelf, then I reccomend this sub 100%. Look at the reveiws on all the subs and amps, look at competition videos and see what they run alot of the time, you will see plenty of JL in the mix, and there is a reason for that.
Pros: Clean and articulate.
Cons:

Great Subwoofer!
Ryan from Marietta, GA on 5/23/2012
I love this woofer! I have two of these in a ventilated box in the back of my 99 Toyota Land Cruiser. I listen to a lot of dubstep. And with these things in the back of my car I bump harder than anyone else! I have them hooked up to a planet audio amp. They are very powerful and loud. I am very happy with them and i highly recomend them!
Pros: Everything!
Cons: None that I have found yet

Accurate- YES, Loud- Not Really
SS Teacher from Plant City, FL on 4/27/2012
Mine is a single JL12W0 in a 1.4 cubic foot sealed enclosure getting 250 watts RMS from a Boston Acoustics amp in the trunk of Dodge Challenger coupe. I love the accurate musical reproduction of bass that this sub delivers, but am disappointed by its lack of volume. If you listen to country, rock, and jazz, this sub should be great for you, but a single driver for rap and electronic music will probably leave you wanting more.
Pros: Excellent musical driver, industry best construction in an entry level sub.
Cons: High price for entry level sub, not as loud as you will want it.
