Aight guys, I haven't had to mess with my audio equipment since I installed it in 2006 so I don't really remember what fits, etc.

I have a box that fits under my back seat with no modification needed and it has 2 10" JL Audio W0 in it. (I know, pretty old right). So I started to notice pieces of speaker floating up by my feet in the driver's floorboard. I knew my speakers from 1999 had probably given up.

So I stopped by an audio shop and he told me he could put some Pioneers in it but would need to take something off the back of the speaker. Not sure what.

I started looking at the JL Audio 10W3v3 but I'm not sure if they would fit my box. Is this a pretty standard speaker that other's have installed with not fitment issues? I have a Sony Xplode Mobile ES 760w pushing my subs so that would be about 150w RMS @ 4ohms or 190w @ 2ohms. I'm pretty sure that amp can run either but I don't want to have run new cable or any of that crap if it needs it to push a 2ohm speaker.

So am I headed in the right direction? I'm not looking to do a lot of work. I just want to pop the old speakers out and drop the replacement in.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Image Dynamics. I have one of their ID-series 10s and love it. Depending on your box depth you may have to pop off the dust cap to make them fit, but that's a few seconds with a screwdriver.

Image Dynamics would definitely sound nice, but if they're taking something off the back it's probably the magnet boot if they have one since the dust cap is on the front.

 

My bad. Been calling them dust covers ever since I was a kid. Hard habit to break and it sneaks back sometimes.

Yeah, it's the magnet cover.

Yea I figured that's what you meant ha. But if they're removing the magnet boot, it's gotta have some tight clearance in there for sure.

 

Ok, so I'll check these ID subs out. What about going to 2ohm vs 4ohm?

 

They're dual coil. My amp was set up for a 4 ohm load so I did the simple thing, getting the D2 and running the coils in series. Works like a champ. Plus, the IDs really seem to like a smaller box, like an underseat truck box, when run as a sealed setup.

I had to remove the magnet cap on mine because it was buzzing just enough to notice on some of the hardest notes. If you have a box with tight clearances you get an extra 3/8" by popping the cover.

I think I am just going to stick with the 4ohm since that was already in it. If I bought 2ohm speakers it would be my luck that something else would go out. I'm really just looking to spend the five minutes it takes to pull the old and busted and install the new hotness. Thanks!

Hope those work. Should be a direct or very close replacement for your old subs. Subs like the 10w3 will need more power than your amp can provide. Your old subs were a good match for your amp's capability's.

 

A dual voice coil sub with two 2 ohm voice coils wired in series = 4ohm. That's why I recommended the IDs. They will work perfectly with your amp's output, they will fit your box, and they are proven performers for the price.
