I do not know it you are still monitoring this thread, but I am having a set of Focal ES165KX3 installed in the doors of a 2005 Porsche 997 with a set of Focal 4” components in the rear all powered by a JL VX8008/1 with each channel powering an individual drive in the front and two of the channels powering the two rear speakers. I also plan to install to two 10TW3D8 in a sealed inclosure in the rear. I have two questions. 1) should these be down firing or not. 2) Is the XD600/1 a sufficient choice in light of the other equipment being installed or do I need to consider another amp with a built in low pass filter?

[@MrLowrider3]

HI I am going to purchase two of the 10TW3 subs and i was wondering what choices of JL audio amp you would recommend for this set up ?

[@JLAudioInc]

Hello. The TW3 woofers have a rated power handling of 400 watts, and we recommend using between 200-400 watts RMS per woofer. If you plan to purchase a pair of the 10TW3-D4 woofers, connect them in a series/parallel configuration and use an amplifier that will deliver between 400-800 watts RMS at 4 ohms. The HD750/1 would be a great match, rated at 750 watts to any load between 1.5-4 ohms.

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?

Hello, did you have a question about JL Audio products? Sincerely,

[@Tomnician]

i.imgur.com/cSCxrAD.jpg This happened, upper right example(not nearly as drastic). Why is this even possible of happening, any good reason to engineer this fitting outside the protection of the basket? For an tight enclosure why should I have to take into consideration a connector that sticks out like this? (Spent way too much time on this explanation, haha.

[@JLAudioInc]

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.

[@anubisbahamut]

I was thinking about buying these soon I have a 12in w3v2 how would the smaller tw3 sound in comparison

[@XER239]

curious too!

[@shoegum7362]

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.

[@JLAudioInc]

@Shoegum, the VX700/5i is the perfect match for full performance and the best reliability for the subwoofer.

[@bryanviper]

Question is how reliable are these subs? I have the 12" version in a custom fiberglass enclosure. Have had it for around 8 months and it Blew a week ago. (I think the voice coil or something went) I'm using all JL equipment (wires/600watt amp) etc I did send it in for warranty however now I'm scared this will happen again or just after my warranty is finished. Not to happy since I paid a premium for all this equipment.

[@JLAudioInc]

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.

[@bryanviper]

My JL Audio amp is rated to 600 Watts RMS, The sub is running at around 250 Watt range give or take, So well within its recommended power range however the Sub still failed/blew for some reason.

[@JLAudioInc]

How did you determine if it is running at the 250 watt range? We do not hear of failures when run at optimal power. If it has a defect that caused the failure it would be covered under warranty as long as it was purchased through an authorized dealer and you still have the proof of purchase.

[@bryanviper]

My professional installer had originally told me it was running in the 250watt range. I have gotten many systems from him in the past & know others who have also with no issues. He has been in the industry for many years. The sub was covered under warranty as I just got a replacement 2 days ago, However since it was running well below its limits and was properly installed using all JL Audio products I fine it weird that it did fail & now question the reliability of this replacement unit I got which I'm assuming is a refurbished unit.

[@JLAudioInc]

I would talk to the installer and verify settings. As I said, the TW3 subwoofers are usually very reliable when run within their optimal power range.

Hi, I have 3 10”Tw3’s what amp do you recommend for the 3? I have a kicker amp 1200 watts but it doesn’t sound as good as i thought

[@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.

[@JLAudioInc]

The TW3 is rated up to 400w RMS. If you decide to go with an amp capable of providing more power it would be important to set the amp levels to match the power rating on the woofer, not the rating of the amp itself.

[@cliffjasway7712]

Hey can u invert them how would they sound

It is tricky to invert a TW3 since it doesn't have a flat flange. If you can make a custom flange for it and invert it then it should sound about the same as being mounted normally.

[@JLAudioInc]

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.

I purchased two of these for my '08 Tacoma to replace two Pioneer TSSW251 subs (I burnt both Pioneers motors completely after excessive output). I'm reusing the sealed box after a minor modification which has 1.2 cubic foot of air space. I wired the JL's in series for a final of 4ohm to my amp. What I'm noticing is that there's a popping coming from the JL's at high but comfortable listening volume, well within wattage specs. My old subs, though destroyed now, would be otherwise fine at the same volume. I know there's some wear-in time, but the popping cannot be good so I'm unable to listen at higher volumes until I can resolve this. Any ideas? Thank you.

that box is a whisker too big according to JL specs, however I would ask; is this a single enclosure, or a dual chamber enclosure (one for each sub)? Some subs prefer their own chamber. Not sure it'll solve your problem, just throwing out a consideration. Personally, i've never understood shallow subs as the enclosures most of them end up in would accommodate a decent conventional subwoofer or multiples of a smaller size.

We recommend a monoblock amplifier that can deliver anywhere from 400 watts to 800 watts RMS into a 4 ohm mono load. First, wire the voice coils on each subwoofer into a series configuration, then wire the two subwoofers together in parallel to either our JX1000/1D (500 watts at 4 ohms), RD1000/1 (600 watts at 4 ohms), XD1000/1v2 (600 watts at 4 ohms), 600/1v3 (600 watts at 4 ohms), or HD750/1 (750 watts at 4 ohms).

[@JLAudioInc]

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.

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...

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

[@JLAudioInc]

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.

[@shudnadunat1476]

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.

[@JLAudioInc]

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.

[@shudnadunat1476]

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.

[@JLAudioInc]

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.

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.

[@JLAudioInc]

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.
