Finally! I don't have to build anymore.

Every bit JL. I have a 2015 Ford F250 Super Duty regular cab. If you remove the jack and notch the cardboard back wall, this guy fits perfect. This is important, because its the ONLY thing that fits. And JL designed and built the box volume for the 12" that comes in it. It puts out more than I can take, and it's very compact. Stop wasting your time looking. I believe 2 of these in my truck would blow the glass out.

Fits perfect under the seat of my 2018 F150 supercrew. Didn't have to modify anything for it to fit and gives great tight bass.

JL Audio CS112TG-TW3-8

Initially, the sub did not push out much output and bottomed out very quickly. But having known that some subs require a break-in period, I was patient. After about a week, the sub started to open up and began to hit tight, hard, and accurate! It was a night and day difference. I highly recommend it! I am powering it with an old-school Orion XTR 200 which is between 400-500 watts and is perfect for this sub/enclosure combo. The sub has dual 8-ohm voice coils wired in parallel to achieve a 4-ohm load.

Not impressed yet

I added this 12" power wedge to my existing 10" power wedge setup in my Acura Integra. I'm less than impressed with the difference. For full transparency I was first running a single JL Audio 10" power wedge off of an JL Audio 500jd mono amp and it was ok. I added another power wedge, but this one is 12" also running off the same amp. I know it's less than ideal but I expected more. I just ordered the JL Audio 1000jd mono amp to replace the 500 because I realize I was only powering each of the two subs at 125 to 150 max watts rms. Not enough at all. I will update if sound improves with the 1000w.

I wish I could have kept this but I needed something a bit more stealth in my truck without getting a custom box made. Very nice sounding subwoofer. This one and the 13TW5 made me change my mind about shallow mount subs. Unfortunately I couldn't keep either one. But feed it some power and prepare for some bass. Running identical power that I ran the 13 at, it was very close in overall output. Now if I would have put more power to the 13 it may have been a different story.

Sounds great

Sounded great but I wanted a little more volume. If you want more sound than feeling the bass, this is your sub. I ended up exchanging this for a Kicker L7 Q class sub in a 10" . The advisors really helped me out and got me what I wanted. Really can't say enough about the advisors help.

If youve gotta be slim, be JL

Was not expecting this type of output for a slim sub. I wanted something that would fit under the cargo floor of my SUV and this thing just squeaked in there. Great sound that's still tight, but can still get down. Might try it in JL's ported box specs, but no complaints here. If you're looking for form over function, you won't be upset with this.

My first 12" after owning about 6 different 10" subs. Fits behind the seat in my single cab 2013 Sierra. Packs a punch for sure if you need it to and the sound quality is excellent as you'd expect from JL. My first shallow mount sub and I am impressed.

Amazing sub for under or behind truck seat. Quality and sound is what I expected from JL. If you need a good sub and have limited space, this is a good choice.

Amazing Sub!!

I bought this for my 2013 Chevy Suburban LTZ. I have the Bose system but found the low end lacking, even after replacing the factory head unit. I paired this sub with a Fosgate mono 500w amp and what an amazing difference! JL subs are the best in the business but I've always gone a different route due to price. I wanted to have the great sound that a larger sub delivers but not take up too much cargo room, so I drank the JL loo laid and will never go a different route. This sub would fit nicely under a crew cab rear seat, or fit nicely behind a full size pickup seat

Not what i expected

This is an awesome sub, and the only one i could find that would fit under the seat of my truck without spending way more money. But.....I have an Alpine type R 8" sub in the Alpine box that plays just as well as this speaker. I know it has to break in and will probably sound better as it does, but the Alpine is only an 8" vs this 12". It does hit the lower notes the 8" can't. But it is just not as good as i thought it would be with all the hype on the JL subs. I will be putting this in my sons truck and keeping my Alpine type R. I just don't think it was worth the extra 200.00 for the little bit lower it hit. If you have the room for one, and want big sound for less money, get the Alpine type R.

JL audio the best hands down in subwoofer audio. I have installed many different subs in 35 years these are the best in my opinion. This is just one of 8+ Jl sub boxes I own. Buy the best don't mess around with the rest. You will not regret this sub.

Great product

Replaced my Alpine SBT-SV10 with this sub and never looking back. Goes as low as you want it to. Rich and full sounding. Put this speaker behind the seat of my F-450 single cab Crane/service truck. Still plenty of room behind the seats for gear. *WARNING* This is a grown up speaker.

Awsome Base!

I installed this sub in my 2008 Dodge 2500 Mega Cab. It fits perfect behind the back seat! This sub sounds great! It has a deep clean base. I am impressed with the sound quality.

Worth the money

I knew JL was a great brand and after reading other reviews I was willing to spend a little extra money for this shallow mount sub. Fits snugly under my rear bench, and leaves me plenty of room. Sound quality is amazing from a shallow sub, more than enough power and boom for any vehicle imo. I keep it set pretty low, but if you want to get people's attention at stop lights, it'll do that too. If you're wondering if it will be enough bass, it is.

Impressive sub

I have always stayed away from JL products due to pricing. I have purchased numerous shallow mounts and I regret that i wasted so much money when I could of just purchased JL in the first place. If you are looking for a shallow mount sub. Go and listen for yourself. Amazing how such a small enclosure can produce such sound quality.

Worth the money

After installing a cheaper 10" sub in my old car, I decided to spend the extra to get a good quality brand. Crutchfield recommended this one and I can't be happier. It hits notes my old sub couldn't hit and the sound is much better.

Loving this subwoofer & enclosure!

This subwoofer has far exceeded my expectations. I've paired it with the 300 W RMS solo channel on a JL Audio XD700/5v2 amplifier and it hits hard and clean like you'd expect from a JL sub but much better than you'd think possible from one this thin. Without turning the amp gain up way too far, there's no distortion or popping. After purchasing a 2014 GMC Sierra crew cab, I found there were very few subwoofers that would fit under the rear seat and fewer that were capable of the output I wanted. The 12" model is a tight fit under my seat but the additional surface area of the 12" vs 10" was hard to pass up. The extra $50 over the sub alone was well worth it to get the full kit with a professional build box, nice carpeting, correct grill, and dimensions just right for my truck.

Very Impressed

This is the first review i have ever given on anything but this is such a great product i felt obligated to do so. I have to admit i am a JL fan, and i always have been. I have owned just about every brand of subwoofers on the market other than the SPL / custom brands. I'm not saying there isnt anything out there that is louder or sounds better but from the ones that i have heard so far JL has the best sounding subs and this one definitely is no exeception. In fact this is one the best JL subs i have heard and you know that is saying something if you have heard there other products. This combo hits really hard. The sounds seem real and blends well with the rest of the system. Even at high volumes it holds these characteristics. Very clean and enjoyable sound. Sometimes i will take a ride just to listen to some good jams. I have this sub behind the passenger seat in a single cab F150 with an Alpine MRX 55 pushing 600 RMS. It is possible to heat to coils up when pushing the full 600 watts for extended periods of time on heavy bass tracks but if you use your head you will not have any problems. I have had this sub for a year or so now and it does sound better with time. One is plenty for a single cab pick up. Two maybe overkill unless you really care about what the people outside the vehicle can hear or if you want your vehicle to rattle apart. I did put this in my SUV just to see but i do not recommend it unless you have two. This is best for vehicles limited on space.

Great speaker! I have this in a 2014 Honda Pilot with a Fosgate 500 Mono block amp and it rocks. The bass is ridiculous. I highly recommend it.

Great Box For Trucks

Great sounding sub, box is made well and fits perfectly behind the drivers seat of my 02 Ford Lightning. I'm pushing it with a 500 watt RMS JL amp and it hits hard. My only complaint is that the screws used to hold the speaker to the box were too small and they wouldn't tighten the sub against the box, so when it hit, the sub would rattle a bit. I got slightly bigger screws and now the box is air tight.
