Right now it is in wedge shaped truck box but my cousin said get it in another box and it will hit even harder. What type of box do you all recommend for this speaker? Thanks all!

Well, I am kind of embarrassed to say that I am not sure what model JL I have or the area of my box off hand I bought it and the box came with the JL in it already. It kicked really hard in my truck but not as hard now that it is why in the trunk as opposed to right behind the seat. Sorry I could not give more info.

Okay..so you bought a sub based on that it was a JL?....well one way to find out.. take the sub outta the box and read the backplate.. this will help ALOT.. did you buy this from a dealer.. off a friends.. what did you pay if it was a dealer

I bought it from a dealer and it was $238 I think, around there anyway. I will take it out tomorrow and find out what I got for sure. As always, thanks for your help!

okay..unless you got really ripped off it's W3 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

in that case 2.3 cu.ft

2 3"x 11.6" Ports

That will be quite loud and still sound allright.

I think I got really ripped off mohawk [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] oh well. Here is what I have. I think it is a W1 What I got! I talked to a guy today that built my cousins box and he said that if I wanted a little more bass that he will build me a ported box and if I wanted tighter hits he will build a closed box. What do you recommend? Thanks for all of your help!

p.s. What if I bought another W1 and had a dual box made? Would that sound better yet? Thanks again!

at that price you got ripped... I'd reccomend going with a small ported enclosure..if your friend knows what he's doing let him build you one.. if he claims to know what he's doing but you're not sure..don't trust him [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Thanks Mohawk! I found some Q-logic boxes at crutchfield.com that look sweet. They have dula and single ported 10". Are those good quality boxes or am I better off with a custom build? Thanks once again!

Here are the two boxes I was thinking of getting single dual and use my W1 JL. Thanks!

How did you learn so much about this stuff? All I know is the basic stuff like hooking it all up, I never learned all the technical stuff.

Thanks again Mohawk! I appreciate it.

Ahem..those are Bandpass enclosures.. I will refrain from commenting as my comments may be strongly negative..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..

For the tech stuff and all that.. well read a few books. Work part time as an installer.. hanging out on alot of car audio forums.. learnign whatever I can.

Cool, thanks! I will stay away from the bandpass and just have this guy do a custom build. Thanks for all the help!
