What customers say about "Size & Weight"

JL Audio 10TW1-4 10" 300W RMS 600W Max 4-Ohm TW1 Subwoofer

The weight and size is ideal for placing it in the trunk.
Quite large but attractive, therefore, the size can be considered one of the features.
It was easy to install. Good sound for that size. Exceeded all my expectations.
A bit hard finding a box that fits it well because dimensions of sub are non-standard in comparison with analogues.
It is too big and does not look beautiful in my car and takes up a lot of space.

JL Audio 10TW3-D4 Shallow-mount 10

If you want to save space or you have a truck these are a must.
Great sound built sealed enclosure. Fits in small space.
It sounds great! It doesn't need to much space!
Great sound and reaction slim fit easy to conceal. The size and weight suits me perfectly.
Very weak mount for such a heavy subwoofer. Tore off the mount and tore off the wire, now you need to buy a new one.

What customers say about "Audio"

JL Audio 10TW1-4 10" 300W RMS 600W Max 4-Ohm TW1 Subwoofer

The speaker sounds great and has very good punch.
Great sub! Nice build quality and amazing sound out of such a small package!
Great sub at a great price, the sound this thing puts out is top shelf quality.
Sensitivity 82.2 in 2019 looks ridiculous. You need to buy only in pairs if you want to hear a good music.
The sound is very distorted, which annoys me a lot.

JL Audio 10TW3-D4 Shallow-mount 10

Jl does it again this sub is powerful and has great quality. Shallow mount is great for trucks.
Fantastic! They hit the lows you would expect from a good 12 inch woofer.
This little sub delivers unbelievable sound! I built a sealed box and can't believe how good it sounds. You will not be disappointed!
It's the quality you'd expect from JL. Сlean sound, great depth, wonderful frequency response.
The sound went bad after a month of use, I think that if you replace some of the details everything will work perfectly.

What customers say about "Features"

JL Audio 10TW1-4 10" 300W RMS 600W Max 4-Ohm TW1 Subwoofer

Installation turned out to be very easy and fast.
Its design has a lot of nice features that make it one of the best.
Made from high quality materials that last for many years.
Tab-Ear Frame Design is ideal for installation in hard to reach places.
The sub starts to bask after an hour of use, I returned it back.

JL Audio 10TW3-D4 Shallow-mount 10

The top quality u can get. It picks up 12 bass and some 15 bass. Super clean sound.
These are some of the best subs I've heard in awhile, much better than other shallow mount subs and even most standard subs.
It sounds as good as any 10 I've ever heard and the dual 4 ohm vc's make it perfect to bridge most two channel amps.
These are the best shallow mount subs I have ever built a system with clean and crisp base.
Quite certainly the best subwoofer I have ever owned and the slim design meant it could be mounted entirely behind the trim panel in the cargo area. Very impressed overall.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

JL Audio 10TW1-4 10" 300W RMS 600W Max 4-Ohm TW1 Subwoofer

You can purchase a box in which you can neatly lay the wires so that they are not damaged and can be easily connected.
It was very easy to connect to a tape recorder and now it perfectly improves my music.
It improves the sound of my receiver and is easily connected using two wires.
I have been using this sub for 5 years and since the first connection it never let me down.
I purchased this speaker and it was defective. In fact, I spent hours troubleshooting, trying to get it to work and it had absolutely no output.

JL Audio 10TW3-D4 Shallow-mount 10

Hooked uo to soundstream nano 5 channel with 4 6.5 polk audio marine speakers. Sounds great.
I have it hooked up to a mono block 500 watt alpine which pushes 300w at 4 ohm,so it's just enough for the sub to handle.
Works well with the receiver and shows good performance.
I immediately connected it to the receiver and was delighted with this sound. I am very pleased with this purchase.
The connection was cheap and fragile in this subwoofer.
