Verified employee review (What's this?)

Installed this 10 inch sub in the center console of my 22' Pathfinder boat along with four 6.5" JL audio speakers and a 5 channel amp. Holy moly! Crisp clean powerful sound that rivals any other brand I have tried.

Pros: Too many to list

Cons: None

Nasty loud!

Verified employee review (What's this?)

These speakers are awesome! anything but entry level. I have had them in 4 different boats and they never disappoint. I have 6 of them with 2 -10" M3 subs on a JL 800x8 amp... it's nasty loud and clear and clean! Love my JL audio equipment!

Pros: Price point to the M6

Cons: None

JL Audio M3-10IB-S-GW-4

Crutchfield customer from Starkville, MS on 8/12/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Purchased this sub because it fit my requirements of limited space (10") and no room for box on my boat (infinite baffle and waterproof). Hooked up to one channel of SKAR RP-150.4 at 150watts RMS (4ohm). Cannot give the sub full power without distortion. Therefor, assuming it's getting about 125watts, at 87.2dB sensitivity, puts out 109dB. In other words, the bass out of my four 8" full range speakers is just as loud. Not impressed for price, but best sub available to fit my demands.

Pros: Waterproof, Box not required, Looks good.

Cons: dB not where I expected.

Skeptic to believer

Crutchfield customer from Glen Allen, VA on 8/5/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought this to replace my similar subwoofer from a 2007 Mastercraft boat. Circumference and bolt pattern was identical to the one it replaced. However, I was concerned when I received it as it was lighter and a little bit smaller depth wise than the one it replaced. It is rated slightly higher for power (peak and RMS) but I was skeptical. I can confirm it works very well. I am pleased. It's powered from a JL Audio M6450 amp along with the other speakers in the boat. Seems like not enough power but the stereo rocks all the way to max volume - no distortion and base hits nice and clean. Packaged very well also.

Pros: Direct replacement fit More power but shallower mount than OEM Clean base

Cons: Grill is mounted with screws that come from the back. You can't remove the grill without removing the entire speaker to access the screws.
