@JLAudioInc

Hello. The 10TW3 woofer has a rated power handling of 400 watts, and we recommend using between 200-400 watts RMS per woofer. For three 10TW3-D4 models connected in a series/parallel configuration for a 2.67 ohm load, you'll want an amplifier capable of delivering between 600-1200 watts RMS at that load. The HD1200/1 would be a good match, rated at 1200 watts. The HD750/1 would also work well with slightly less output potential with 750 watts. Other options include the VX1000/1i, the XD1000/1v2, and the RD1000/1.

Do two of these 12tw3s have more linear displacement than a 12W7 or am I mistaken?

@JLAudioInc

Looking to power a system with 4 speakers and 1 subwoofer (10tw3) which would be best a VX700/5i (300rms x 1) or VX1000/5i (600rms x 1), is it better to have a larger amp dialed down or a smaller amp running at max rms? Any efficiency, reliability, or heating benefits? Another option could be the HD 900/5 (500rms x 1) but Im leaning towards the new amps with built in dsp.

Hello, you have plenty of air space for either subwoofer. If you have the depth, the 10W3v3 could be used without modifying the enclosure. Although the 10W3v3 spec volume is .625 I would normally suggest about 10 percent larger in a vehicle such as your Camaro. The 10TW3 does have greater excursion and cone are for a bit more potential than the 10W3v3, but you would need to reduce the internal volume of your enclosure to .60 cubic foot Gross volume and the mounting hole would need to be enlarged since the 10TW3 requires a cut out of 9.625 inches.

JL, I love the lower profile design but why do the VC Plugs protrude out past the inherent strength of the magnet/chassis. If one of those VC connectors were to bend inward at all would have be a bad thing? You can see what i'm talking about if you grab one of your 10/12 tw3 and take one VC plug and push the end towards the center of the speaker, it's squishy and moves quite easily. Is it bad if they were bent in?

The push terminal is technically within the perimeter of the frame mounting diameter and does not protrude past the frame depth of 3.25 inches (or 3.5 in the case of the 12TW3). This should be ample clearance for most applications. If you need more clearance you can actually remove the push terminals which would expose just the connection blades underneath. It is rare that you should need to do that, but you could if you were pressed for space.

The TW3 is a very reliable subwoofer when played within its optimal 300-400 watts. At 600 watts you are well above the rms rating of the subwoofer which could be risky depending upon how loud you play the system and what type of music. I would dial the amplifier back a bit to help protect the speaker.

Thank you for your question. There is not a ton of output difference between the 10 and 12 inch Tw3 subwoofers. The larger cone area of the 12" will allow you have a more efficient system on the same power vs a 10" subwoofer. For a difference of only 40 dollars you can't really go wrong so long as the space is there and your budget allows for it.

What are your project goals and what made you think, with the literal hundreds of brands out there, that JL Audio would fulfill those goals?

TransmissionLineDesigns- well basically I never had a truck before, cars were easy...so the midgate box seemed like a good idea, and I was told that's only options from a few places. Wish I knew then what I know now and would have gotten custom made ported box for alot cheaper. I just assumed with a top name brand like JL that it hit pretty clean and hard. Didn't occur to me that the jl authorized professional car installers may wire it all incorrectly and have my coils stinking n smelling like shit. I have no knowledge on this really but assume from what I've been told that they set gains too high and a few other things. My expectations were to have a top quality system that shakes my car. My last system was cheap as shit and not that great but it shook my car and sounded great and lasted 10 years. Maybe they are out of phase another term I've learned recently. I'm sorry are 2 12inch Jl subs in a fiberglass stealthbox with good amp supposed to sound like shit? Forget about the money I spent, I've heard a single 10 or 12 sub that sounds harder and better than mine. Something is wrong and unless they are totally installed wrong and when they are properly wired they sound alot better than I'm extremely dissatisfied with JL audio. The money they charge and if that's there quality then I'm disgusted. I should have gotten 400 custom ported box and any other 12 inch subs. Jesus christ 2 12's facing you behind your seat shouldn't you feel the bass and have it sound good I mean WTF. I may just return the entire unit if even possible.

Which box is yours? www.google.com/search?q=midgate+box+jl+audio&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiL9dWuxNvaAhUEYJoKHfTxCAUQ_AUICygC&biw=1600&bih=763 Selling the system might not recoup all your money, there's always someone willing to take these off your hands I'm sure. However, you should be able to still get a good price for it. If you're handy with the power tools and if you give me some dimensions I can draw some plans up. I replaced a JL Audio 12W6v3 ($599) with a Sundown SA-12 ($214) and the Sundown absolutely trounced the JL in all respects.... and for gentile music the SA sounded far better as well. Hands up i'm not a bass head, but its nice to show off once in a while. Please don't take me for a hater. I do love JL, but I'm afraid in the this climate, there are far too many better options for a lot lot less money. If you're set on keeping the subs, I can throw some design ideas your way. JL are good, but its obvious that you need something different to what JL is offering.

Also having owned a few JL boxes in my time, i find they just kill the performance of the subs. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ka5qpNF9YNbRh7w.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmxm28mxgsjXdJs.html I can't stop lovin' the 8W3v3 though :)

Dunno why I'm watching this, I've got 2- 10w6v2d4's

Don't know why you told us that no one asked, cared, or gave 2 fuks. More than 1 person here has 12w7s for your ass so seriously STFU with your 2 Dixie cups on strings you got there leave the audio talk to the big boys.... Capache?! Eh?

Lies all lies. These subs don’t start working until you put 600 watts to them.

The TW3 woofers have a rated power handling of 400 watts, and we recommend using anything between 200-400 watts RMS. We would not advise using 600 watts on a single woofer, risking damage and voiding the manufacturer's warranty. If you're not getting good performance with half that power, you've done something wrong.

I’m aware of rated power. I’m also aware of what you folks say for your warranty. I have seen your subs handle double rated power from name brand equipment just fine.

A doubling of power is good for only 3 dB of additional output, which is hardly noticeable. Reducing the reliability for such a small change is not something we'd ever recommend doing.

I understand the recommend part of that. I have owned a bunch of JL equipment. I have never seen any of your woofers perform anywhere close to their capacity at rated power. Just look at the specs on the w7, 750 Watts. That seems way too low to me. I have personally seen them perform flawlessly at 2k.

It really depends on the user. A moderate listener with a dynamic track that has a high crest factor can can get away with additional power. The voice coil is almost never getting all of it, and the power it does get is for a very short duration. There's nothing wrong with headroom. A more abusive listener with a track that's already near clipping in the recording is going to have problems with too much power. Power over time into a voice coil generates heat, hence the thermal power handling specification. This is why we provide a recommended power range for all of our speakers and subwoofers.

How are you flowing air through a aluminium cap. its aluminium. marketing bullcrap

They don't flow air "through" it. The heat from the voice coil will travel through the vents towards the aluminum dustcap. The dust cap will absorb the heat and dissipate it into the cooler outside air. It's just like a heatsink from an amp. Or even a car's radiator.

Overrated and overpriced by far Gay L audio are masters of robbing you of your hard earned money ...you can get a lot more for a lot less even if you don't listen to Robot underground...

Can it fit on a rear deck of the 2017 bmw 530? Of course not free air, in an enclosure. I saw you guys have a 10 and 12 inch already in a sealed enclosure.

We'd recommend visiting a local authorized dealer to have them check clearances in your vehicle. We do not have information regarding the OEM woofer or rear deck dimensions in order to give you an answer. Once your dealer can verify fitment and make the enclosure for you, having the woofer fire through the rear deck would work quite well.

Ale Wu....I have 2 13tw5 in a sealed box built off the rear deck.Its been about 6 yrs and still going strong.My only regret is only powering them with a 500/1 amp.WAYYYYY underpowered but still sounds great.
