Would this be a good open air replacement sub in the rear deck for a 2003 mercury marauder? John Hall-Miami

Trying to find out what size is the factory subwoofer in a2002 Lincoln Town car ?

This JL 6W3v3-4 is only recommended to be used in a sealed box by JL sadly, John. This would only work well if you could modify the original plastic factory sub enclosure and custom mount this in. This subwoofer has a top mount depth of 4 3/16", in case you want to take some measurements and try to make it fit!

Could this go open air in a door? Or does it need to be in a small enclosure?

So I selected no aftermarket amp as one of my options do I need an aftermarket amp or does my truck already have enough amp to cover this speaker 2012 gmc Denali with Bose sound system?

For best sound, I recommend to built a small enclosure.

[ JUAN Jun 29, 2021 ]

I had to cut more depth out of my back window slot to get it in but in a door it probably would stick up too much.

I have a 2014 Accord Coupe with the 8â?? sub in the rear deck. The cutout is 5.94â?? for that sub. Will this sub fit? I already have a powered sub in the trunk, but hope this 6.5â?? could provide some mid-bass Iâ??m lacking

Hey Alex. You do need an after market amp. I have a 500 amp amplifier. I starte with one sub and added the second sub after. You don't need nothing crazy as far amp. My 500 amp idols just fine. Hope this answers your question.

[ JUAN Oct 21, 2020 ]

your Bose sound system was installed with a factory amp. For the JL audio subwoofer you will need to obtain an aftermarket amp to push a subwoofer. The factory amp will not provide enough power.

Are they waterproof?

Will this fit in the center console subwoofer compartment on my 2004 Jeep Wrangler?

It is not. You can find our marine grade subwoofers here: https://www.crutchfield.com/g_217950/Marine-Subwoofers.html?tp=61750 My Bio: https://www.crutchfield.com/bio/Paul

Will this fit in a truck box under the back seat of a f150?

Possibly. It fits in my tiny Toyota MR2 underneath the head unit. I mounted the speaker on 1/4 MDF that's 8&7/8" wide. It really fills out the sound well, even with the top down (though I have it connected to an amp).

[ STEVE Jun 25, 2019 ]

The dimensions for this speaker are in the JVC owner's manual. I highly suggest pulling the measurement from you Jeep to confirm that they will considering the above average mounting depth of this speaker.

[ DEVIN Jun 25, 2019 ]

Not sure if it will fit I that exact spot. I put two of these in my 2014 Subaru STI hatchback and they bang consider a custom box and run with it.

It depended what kind of box you use. The back seat of an f150 is approximately 5.5 inches to 7 inches off the floor so find a box to fit the dimensions of your back seat. I just custom made a box for under my back seat to fit a shallow mount 12 inch subwoofer . Just make sure you know your dimensions of the box you use. Bazooka tubes work well with that particular sub. I have that sub behind the seat in a ranger and sounds great

[ TYLER Nov 13, 2018 ]

Clarification.....My amp recommendation was for 2 of these subs. I have them mounted in my rear doors for "fill". Your application would require significantly less power.

[ JOHN H Nov 03, 2018 ]

I do not know the dimensions of the truck box. You "must" build an enclosure for these subs, sealed is 0.15 and ported is 0.25 SF. You can utilize these dimensions to decide if they will fit in the box under the seat. These are not "free air" woofers. They must be installed in the proper enclosure in order for you to properly tune them with a RTA.They will accept lots of power so do not purchase them with out a quality amp. You will be defeating their purpose. Amp recommendations: JL Audio HD600/4 or 300/4v3 ....75x4 or bridged 2x150

[ JOHN H Nov 03, 2018 ]

It could, but it may depend on which model F-150 you are talking about. Also, i have seen other 6.5 inch subs work. so if the box is built correctly, it very well could.

[ JOHN Nov 03, 2018 ]

Will these work in a 08 Nissan pathfinder powered by the stock Bose amp? The stock subs are 6.5 inch 1 ohm rated

[ JAMES Oct 24, 2018 ]

Will it fit a 2004 Land Rover Discovery 2 rear cargo door and can it be hooked up to the factory system or does it need a separate amp to run the two subs in the cargo door?

[ KRISTINA Nov 02, 2018 ] Staff

[ ELLIS Aug 19, 2018 ]

Stupid question, would these work to replace the factory subs in the front doors of my 06 ram, one just blew and I know it's the 7 speaker factory amp system and the speakers in the doors are for bass only and aren't effected by front to rear fade so I'm assuming they are on their own dedicated bass change?

It is not a recommended fit in the Discovery and it does need an an aftermarket amplifier to power it properly.

I have 3 jl w3 6.5 subs what amp should I use and how do I wire them up?

[ KRISTINA May 22, 2018 ] Staff

[ Brandon Oct 29, 2017 ]

Does this subwoofer have to be put on an amplifier? Can it be run without it?

I would use a JL Audio Slash 300/4v3 and bridge the amp to 150 RMS per channel.

[ JOHN H Oct 30, 2017 ]

Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp for your subs I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.

[ KENNETH Oct 30, 2017 ] Staff

[ JAMES F. D. Oct 07, 2017 ]

Would this be good replacement speaker for a Mirage BPS-100i?

Why did you purchase it if you plan no amplification. These subs will rock way harder then 150 RMS. If you do not power them properly, you might as well sell them!

[ JOHN H Oct 30, 2017 ]

It really needs at least 150W of power. 250-300 is ideal.

[ Marcos Oct 08, 2017 ]

[ John Sep 09, 2017 ]

will this sub fit in a bazooka tube?

Great replacement! Be sure you give them the power they require.

[ JOHN H Oct 30, 2017 ]

The JL Audio 6W3v3-4 is a subwoofer designed for use in a car audio system, so it's hard to envision how it would work as a replacement for your home audio Mirage sub. I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They should be able to help answer your question in greater detail.

i never heard of the speaker you speak of for car audio, The JL AUDIO 6,5 will rock! Money well spent

Are these marine speakers? (water proof)

Yes it will and that is a great idea I would get Crutchfield to hook you up with some fitted spacers and just make sure that it is airtight with no portEnter an answer to this question.

[ charles robert Sep 30, 2016 ]

I don't know. The actual measured dimensions and the cut sheet agreed.

[ EUGENE Sep 28, 2016 ]

you would need to be much more specific. bazooka makes so many different tubes, and they all come with speakers in them, and have different sizes, and configurations. they're really ported and set up for the speakers they designed and come with, not some other random speaker you throw in there.

No, these are not marine speakers. They may be ok in Light moisture conditions. I use them in my Jeep Wrangler & have had no problems with them.

[ JOHN Jan 30, 2016 ]

Have just 1 of these in the back of my soft top Jeep Wrangler. It is boxed per the specs outlined in the manual that came with the woofer. My top leaks every time it rains and soaks the entire area where it is located. This thing keeps on rocking. Have had no issues with the performance thus far.

[ J. SCOTT Jan 29, 2016 ]

This is a 6" subwoofer. And it isn't water proof, but if it was mounted in an enclosure. It would be water resistant. It has a polymer cone with a rubber surround.

[ Michael Jan 29, 2016 ]

II don't think that they are.

[ Mark Jan 29, 2016 ]

I have a 2014 HD Trike, I would like to put this 6.5 in my rear fender well between the tire and the rear seat, 1) do y'all make a cone that I can use to make them water resistant? and 2) do you recommend them on a motorcycle?
