[Shotimes] subwoofer replacement

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Jim:
 He is wrong. The 6W0 is different from the rest of the JL line. It is
single voice coil only and 4 or 8 ohms depending on how you wire it up. One
part number only.  Here is the factory page for this unit. I don't know what
the retail price is.

 One of mine runs just fine using the stock JBL amp but I think it sounds
better with higher quality electronics pushing it. It really is too small to
be a proper subwoofer but I like how the box fits the car.
