Stereo & Electronics - WHICH WAY TO GO??JL 10W3v2 OR JL 10W3V3

IM TORN BETWEEN THE TWO..JL 10W3v2 JL 10W3v3? BOTH HAVE 300 WATTS...ANY INPUT WOULD BE USEFULL..THANKS

hmmm.....not sure what to say about those speakers.....i'm running just 1 jl audio w7 12"

I run 2 W3V2 D4's. I love em. basically they are about the same speakers with the newer W3V3 only having one voice coil available in specific ohm selections (2,4,8ohm). The W3V2 has either dual 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm dpending on what you choose. I think the V2 might be a little more versatile for this reason if your running more than one sub. You can get away with a lot less wattage to the W3 and still sound great with excellent SQ and reletively high SPL levels.

I'd go with JL 10W3v3 it's rated at 2-ohm.

JL 10W3v2 is a dual 4-ohm.......

What are you looking for???

JL 10W3v2 is a dual 4-ohm.......

...which would allow you to wire the dual voice coils in parallel to produce a 2-ohm load.

DVC's cost more, dat's my point dirty!!!!!!!!

So why go with DVC to get the SVC load??? Duhhh!!!!!!!!!!! LOLzzzz!!!!!!!

Well, that may have been what you meant but it's not what you said. Your comment implied that one was 2-ohm while the other was 4-ohm. Perhaps you should be more clear next time.

Dual voice coils can be set up for the same impedance as a single voice coil but they also give more flexibilty when using multiple speakers - that's why you might want to pay more for DVC. Besides, in this case the DVC subs are about $20 cheaper than the SVC ones (probably because they're an older model).

:judge: :)

The JL W3V2 is also available in dual 2 ohm version as well. It's the D2 instead of the D4. W3V3 is available in single coil 2, 4, or 8 ohm versions. I still like the versatility of the W3V2 dual coils for different configurations if needed. I do like the way the V3 looks like a W6 or W7 though with the way they did the cone. Although as far as sound goes the old model W3 is still the same shape, rms/peak wattage, sensitivity, etc.

I have the newer w3 the one that looks like the w7. I love it, for a single 10 it pounds amazlying well. I wish I went with a bigger one because, it could be louder and where your crusing it at like 100mph. The JL Componets keep up, but the sub gets drowned out.
