JL Audio 8W3V3-4 8" Single 4-Ohm W3V3 Series Subwoofer

here is the critical info

8" 4-ohm subwoofer
mineral-filled polypropylene cone with nitrile-butylene rubber surround
power range: 50-250 watts RMS
peak power handling: 500 watts
frequency response: 28-250 Hz
sensitivity: 83.24 dB
top-mount depth: 4-9/16"
sealed box volume: 0.3 cubic feet

does any one know what the depth is from the mounting flange to the bottom of the factory sub box?
I could make it fit but it would be nice if there was only minor trimming required.

 

I am very interested to find out if this will work. need more bass. lol.

 

It would be a good idea to model that specific subwoofer in unibox or any of the other freeware sub/speaker modeling programs. You would have to have a ball park on the displacement of the stock subwoofer housing. I am also curious about what the stock wattage is for the sub- I think I read that the tech package sub has its own dedicated amp?

 

4 inches.

 

GOD bless you sir!

 

Let us know the results.

I wonder what else is out there for a direct replacement. I don't want/need amp/amp-kit/box, etc...I'm in the hunt for a direct replacement sub.

link to crutchfield comparison of direct fit replacement subs. might still need an amp to get the sub to sound good though.

 

 

wow

 

I know right. well the news is that this will be on the back burner till I get home because the local shop wants 100 to install the sub and another 100 to install the amp... but they'd cut me a break if I bought everything there... but ill resurrect this when I get home. in the mean time go show heeltoe some love!!!

 

yea they are a good company and came through on my exhaust system. Now I just have to decide if I'm getting bigger injectors and an intake to go with my flashpro.

 

pics and write up to follow mid march.

so a few things changed going with a Rockford fosgate P2D48
8" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils

power range: 75-250 watts RMS (500 watts peak power)
frequency response: 39-250 Hz
top-mount depth: 4-13/16"
sealed box volume: 0.2-0.3 cubic feet

a Rockford fosgate 250X1 mono subwoofer amplifier
150 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (250 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms) wired remote Punch Level Control included
frequency response: 20-250 Hz
preamp and speaker-level inputs preamp outputs
8-gauge power and ground leads and a 30-amp fuse recommended —no on-board fuses
11-1/4"W x 2"H x 7-3/8"D

and JL coaxial speakers C2 650X REARS
and JL component speakers C2 650 FRONTS

 

are you going to redo the OEM box? or do a custom one in a different spot?

 

ill try to reuse the factory box by adding a spacer to it.

 

Looking forward to the pics of the install.
Where are you going to place the amp?

 

ill most likely make room in the spare tire well. if that fails I do have a welder. but it is a very small footprint amp so I should be able to find something.

 

well the write up is coming along nicely ( its 3 pages in word so far with no pics... mods I might need help with how to post this much stuff ) but I think I'm going to put crossovers in the front doors and go ahead and swap out the tweeters. but the component woofers sound awesome in the front doors and the sub absolutely smokes the factory setup!!!

 

good to know.. cant wait to see the write up.. curious on what you did for the box
