Watch us cut open and dissect a JL Audio TW5 shallow mount subwoofer. We needed some footage for our product video and we thought we would share the footage of us breaking apart one of these JL woofers. This is the 13.5" subwoofer is JL Audios high end shallow mount subwoofer and this video shows the quality as we take a look behind the cone.

This is the proper way to market a product. So you can let people see the engineering involved in making it. JL's been making subs for a very long time and they are the best at SQ.

Yes they are. This shallow mount sub is truly amazing.

Thats one of THE best subs I have ever heard playing from a sealed box.

You are right. We actually confirmed with JL after we uploaded the video that it wasn't a neo magent.

I like the shallow woofer,I want to get one in the future when I buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee and take the system up with this woofer and focal ktp 6.5 in front stage and pc 165 coaxial in rear and maybe Oeq 2 Rockford fosgate 10 band parametric eq to tune.So this is in my near future .I have classic Rockford amps punch 45 he,power 300 ,punch 150 with fan shroud,Old school but those amps are Soo dependable.I enjoy your u tube site.

Alot of JL fans I see posting and yet no one noticed that JL changed the basket on this driver? Look at the back view when Seth is taking it apart. The basket is normally more like a spoke style where every window is cut out. Not this one? I own a 13tw5 and it's a good driver. Little under motored. Really wish JL spent the money for a neodymium magnet to cut some weight and give this driver what it really needs.

does anything that is retailed at the price it costs to make? cable, wiring, amplifiers? Theres also engineering that goes into their products, instead of like some companies who just "copy" other companies, and they need a paycheck

Tinsel leads to the voice coil are very very thin and delicate on this design. Don't clip your amp... you will heat up the sub, cause some cone meltage, cause some glue burning, separating that thin tinsel lead...the damage will go unnoticed while your ambient temps are in the 70's and above...but below that, the sub will not play properly or only sometimes will play. Then you'll need to spend another $200 for a recone job. Like me.

This is a v2 the v1 had the basket you're thinking of. Neo is too expensive a lot of home audio drivers with neo magnets have doubled in price over the past year or two. I'd rather see them use something similar to Image Dynamics high roll surround to maximize surface area. From what I heard they are actually suspension limited not motor limited.

Ok and they cost 500$ for a magnet plastic and an a woofer basket? I like jl audio a lot but fuck that 500 bucks really? That is fucking bullshit they don't need to charge that much, probabaly cost like 20$ for them to build it. Just like W7 way over priced

@letsgonow5641 7 жыл бұрын

The magnet is pricey. You are also pay for the RnR. I had a friend that worked for Bose for a few years. You are right that speakers have a high profit margin. Especially for so called factory prem systems w $10-$15 paper speakers that the manuf buys them at.

That's what happens when you buy subs w/ your eyes. Audiophiles who buy JL use our ears but man those Xplodes sure do have a pretty red and there only $63 at Walmart. I'll just keep banging my invisible TW5 w/ 4 people in my truck laughing while they search for all those subs.
