JL AUDIO 8W3V3-4 Review by George
Quality Value Price Purchased (2) of the subwoofers from via Ebay about six months ago. Since installing them they have been one of my best car audio purchases that I can remember. I've gone through 4 different systems, ranging from 15, 12, 10 inches. If your looking for a compact woofer that is backed by one of the best audio companies out there this sub is for you. In a small ~ 1 cu ft sealed box these subs hit just as hard as a comparable 10" woofer, given proper power.
I have done business with for almost four years, and I will continue to use them in the future. (Posted on 1/29/2016) -
8" W3? Review by King
Quality Value Price These really do not sound like 8's. They slap hard and people are always amazed when they hear them. I have 2 8 W3 in a sealed box in a nissan frontier crew cab and they hit so hard. I had someone come into my car not knowing i had subs and asked them what they sounded like and he said he thought it was a 12 in a large box. No one believes they are only 8's until they see them. I definitely recommend this to anyone limited in space and wanting the most boom for their buck (Posted on 1/27/2016)

Great product Review by Jones
Quality Value Price I purchased this 8" sub because I have limited space in an 87 Fiero. I made a custom box and mounted it under the dash, this sub hits like a 10" and I am extremely happy with the performance of this product. (Posted on 1/25/2016)

sound supreme ++ Review by Barbara
Quality Value Price i have a lexus sc 400 these speakers with components and all fit flawlessly and offer a sound that is truly extraordinary, i was advised to buy this brand with guaranteed satisfaction, and i openly admit that is what i have. Complete satisfaction and super pounding power, highly recommended, state of the art is JL Audio, and i got a 8 inch sub instead of 10 i was very worried it would not provide the bass i wanted wow it vibrates the mirrors and seats and thumps!! more than expected and surpassed 2 friends 10 and 12s they had (Posted on 11/14/2015)

Amazing Review by Taylor
Quality Value Price I bought this speaker about 6 months ago. My intention was just to upgrade the speaker in my factory installed sub-woofer box. Needless to say, this was the best upgrade I have EVER invested in! The sound is stunning, the lows hit amazingly hard and the mid punchy bass is the perfect complement. On top of that, the box I have isnt even ported and I'm only running a 250 watt mono amp! I'm perfectly content with the sound and I haven't even pushed the limits yet. I highy recommend this Sub.

Great Sub Review by Mitchell
Quality Value Price Have 2 of these underneath the backseat in a F-150 2010 extended cab. Great sub hits the notes very LOUD!!! Great sub for having no space to put them. Have it setup w/ JL audio to get rid of factory speakers and you can hear every note high and low. Worth the buy. May be worried about not getting the bass you want. DON'T worry about that at all. Get a great box too and they work superb. (Posted on 9/22/2015)

Super 8 Review by Wright
Quality Value Price 2008 Wrangler Unlimited. Made spacer so that the 8w3v fits in OEM enclosure. Being fed by Cadence XAH250.2 mono. If you are reading the reviews, you know the praise for this little thing. No BS, this little thing is awesome for an 8. In previous vehicles, I've had a single 10 and a single 12. Both Polk db's. The JL is as loud as the 10 and musically it sounds better than both the 10 and 12. Both db's sounded "messy". This one is very precise. Definitely worth they extra money and for this particular application, it is perfect. (Posted on 9/10/2015)

A Nice Thumpin' Sound Review by Young
Quality Value Price Hey, if you want a big beat sound for smaller vehicles, please invest your money into a pair of these speakers!!! These speakers provide the hard hitting bass that you want without eating up valuable storage space IF installed correctly.

Great for the price Review by Nelson
Quality Value Price I bought these to replace the speakers in my dash, although they were too big. This is a problem with my dash, and not the speakers themselves, as they do measure 3.5" as advertised, I just thought I could get away with a bigger speaker, and could not.

AWESOME! Review by Baker
Quality Value Price THIS. THING. ROCKS!!!
I have one (yes, one) JL 8"" w3v3 in my SUV and it fills the car with beautiful sounding tight bass.
My previous car had 2 12""s... this 8"" isn't quite as loud, but gives the 2 12's a run for their money. oh, did I mention, it also takes up about 1/8 the space (JL specifically designed the sub so the the box dimensions would be small) and is on approximately 1/4 the power?
For anyone wanting to stick with JL amps, and having trouble deciding: I had spoke with the JL technicians, and they recommend the XD 300/1 amp for this subwoofer. I have that amp on approximately 60% of the gain, and it slams.

little sub....HUGE BASS Review by Ronald
Quality Value Price Wow. That's the first word that came to mind after i installed this little wonder. JL already has an outstanding reputation for sound quality and power especially when it comes to their subs. This 8" w3 series is no exception. I was considering a smaller sub because of the cramped space i have in my jeep wrangler. I researched which sub i wanted for my jeep for a few months before buying this one, so i know what this thing is capable of and the quality sound it can produce. I needed a sub that produced maximum sound with minimum space requirements; this sub definitely meets and surpasses this criteria. After installing this sub in a sealed box that meets the performance requirements, it took up hardly any space and sounds phenomenal(when matched up with the proper amplifier). The 8w3 comes second only to the 8w7(which is pricey) and it sounds like two 10's, if not better.

Perfect for a good basic sound system Review by Harris
Quality Value Price I've never been one to order the premiere sound system from factory, I prefer to build one myself. I have a 2008 Sierra CrewCab and have two of these under the back seat and they are perfect. Im not trying to let anyone down the block hear my system but inside my truck it's concert loud with a sweet bass note to back up the mids and highs. I love it
