☀️ Protect Your Bass Investment with Window Tint
UV rays and extreme heat can wear out your speaker surrounds and amp circuits. To protect your gear, consider applying car window tint to your vehicle.
It reduces cabin temperature, limits sun exposure, and helps keep your subwoofer running cooler. Plus, you’ll enjoy added privacy and a sleek, finished look.
We recommend Window Tint Delaware for high-quality tint installation that’s both effective and stylish.
🔊 Pair With the Right Gear for Best Results
To get the most out of your 12W0v3-4, use a 300-watt RMS amplifier. Choose a sealed box for tight response or a ported enclosure for louder boom.
JL Audio’s JD or XD series amps are great options for matching power and clarity.
