JL Audio 8W7AE-3 8" Single 3-Ohm W7 Subwoofer Anniversary Edition (8W7-3)

I have two if these in my truck and they are the loudest eights I've ever heard. It sounds like a professional 15.

You won't be disappointed

Love this sub!! Saves a lot of room and sounds so good.

Best base ever

Nice subwoofer

I have been a long time car audio fanatic for many years and have had the pleasure of experiencing a wide array of speakers and subwoofers. As the title mentions, this may very well be my new favorite subwoofer.For my installation, I chose to go with a sealed enclosure for the 8w7AE3, even though I generally lean towards ported designs. The main reason for this choice was the location and shape of my enclosure. In this situation, there simply was no way to include a port and not conflict with best practices about enclosure design. In the end I am completely happy with the sound of the sub in the sealed enclosure. It is very detailed and accurate and even has very good output at the low range where many small diameter subwoofers struggle.I have only run into a couple things I would call negative. Let me say up front, I am absolutely nitpicking here, so take that into consideration. The first thing, as is common with all the W7 line, is the mounting procedure. The method to mount this subwoofer is very unconventional. The first time you do it, it kind of puts you on edge. You are basically disconnecting the surround from its mounting point on the basket. In the end, I do not think its a huge deal, as long as you are careful. The second thing is the cutout diameter of the driver - 6.94 inches - why couldn't they modify the design just a bit and make that 7? I know it seems trivial, but this poses a minor problem when using a router with a jasper jig to cut out the hole. Of course, you can cut a 7 inch hole and its fine. Unless you decide to use T-nuts for the install that is. There just wasn't enough space for T-nuts after making a 7 inch cutout. Since these are very minor issues, I don't feel they warrant taking a whole star off, if half stars were available, then maybe it would get 4.5 for those minor inconveniences, although even that may be taking away too much.Overall, this is an impressively constructed subwoofer with very high craftsmanship and it sounds fantastic. I would highly recommend the JL 8w7AE3 to anyone in the market for a high quality 8 inch subwoofer.

Big sound in small package it surprise me i need another soon and i mean soon thank you

Great speaker it sounds amazing in my car. Deliver was on time.

Best sub I've ever owned as loud as my set of MTX 12s at 1200 watts and I'm running it off a jx500d1 at 400 watts in a jl spec ported box super clean and loud bass
