I just bought two old 12" JL Audio W0's From the Pawn Shop today. They can in a small sealed enclosure. Will w0's work louder and better in a ported or sealed enclosure?

I have mine in 2.5 tuned at 30hz.

How Loud Are They? This Is My First Time Having JL Subs And People Say W0's Work Better And Louder In A Sealed Enclosure Than Ported Enclosure. Is That True??

Never metered mine, currently it is only running on 75 watts. It sounded good sealed, but it sounds better ported atleast to me.

Ok cool. I also heard that the w0's are underrated and they can handle 300wrms instead of 150. Is that true?

I would not use that much power on them.

I cut one up and checked out the soft parts and coils, they are overbuilt little sups. That's an enclosure dependent question, but it is pushing the power handling a bit.
