JL Audio 13TW5-3 installed

Just got this installed. Thanks to Mr.Marv for the custom box...the build quality and fit are top notch! Haven't really had a chance to let loose on the sub, want to let it break in. Install turned out pretty clean.

 

Good deal! Did he do the install, or just the box? Looks great though man! I spoke to him for like an hour the other day. He really knows his stuff. Great guy IMO, and very VERY knoweldgable! How do you like the JL?

 

Thanks! I did the install. Yeah Marv knows what he is doing fo sho. So far the sub sounds good...can't wait for it to break in so i can put it to the test.

 

Clean install. What are you running as a HU and mids/highs?

 

Looks Great!!! nice and clean!

 

Looks good!! I've been wondering about these subs...be sure and let us know how it is when you crank it up haha

 

Thanks. I currently have the alpine cda-9887 but i'm about to upgrade to the pioneer avh-4200 (can't wait). Up front I have alpine 6x9 type s and rear alpine 6.5 type s. Have boston acoustic tweeters in the doors that sound really good. Alpine 600.1 pushing the sub and alpine 4.150 pushing the door speakers.

 

how are those door speakers holdin up to that much power?

what do you plan on doing with that head unit once you upgrade?

 

pretty well actually. I don't have the gain up that much, but they sound good. I'm gonna sell the old unit. PM me if you want it.

 

What did you cover the box with? I'm waiting on the same setup from Marv myself (using Memphis amps and door speakers)

 

I used a primer first cause the wood just soaks it up. Then I used the rustoleum stone stuff. It matches the interior and gives it a textured look.

 

Can u put the seat in without the sub beating it from behind?

 

yes there is plenty of room for the sub to function. I can actually put the seat all the way down, couldn't do that with the 2 10s i had back there before.

 

looking good...welcome to the TW5 club

i have to upgrade my box...lol

 

So have you got the chance to crank it up yet? How many hours break in is recommended for the 13tw5?

 

not sure about the hours of break in. But yes I have put it to the test and this thing rocks! Sounds way better than the 2 alpine 10s i had before.

 

next time you should fill the screw holes with bondo before painting it. It'd look alot cleaner IMHO

How's it sound?
