- Today we see the results of my installation of the aftermarket JL 13W7 rebuild kit from FixMySpeaker.com. This is a good way to repair a blown JL W7 since JL Audio no longer sells their re-cone kits :(

Thank you for watching AMPLIFIED #695
Tune in everyday for non stop comedy, DIY fabrication and vehicle customization from award winning car audio installer Doug Bernards, Inventor of the patented iPad dash kit available at SoundmanCA.com.
I'm so good at calling the explosions right before they happen now lol.
East Bay Angler Not me man, gets me sometimes.....its great
I freaking love the fume ignition situations we encounter and the infamous explosions that follow, Please never stop doing this douglas.
Doug the rubber ring that goes around the magnet MISSING. Take it all back apart again.
Better heat displacement without that rubber insulation
@@cammacdonald4217 lol, it has a cooling vent at the bottom of the mag and on the sides below the basket and above the motor not to mention the fact that the air comes through the spider as well. Please tell me you're joking. There is plenty of heat dissipation for this subwoofer.
The music u use in these episodes is half the magic lol
How the fuck does he not get copyrighted?
SuperCar Street Racing he gets charged for it. They take it out of his TH-cam money lol
I don't think that's true. They either monetize it or they don't or they make you remove it.
Always The Consummate One. Woulda been nicer if you got a shot of the headliner too and pulled that truck in for a glow in the dark shot.
BigLove101 I was thinking the same shyt throw the iPad and headliner in the vid, ideas for next intro Doug-e Freshh
Me and my son appreciate you and everything you are teaching. Your Very detail and to the point , with Awesome commentary . Thank you .
Always great to watch your builds, not to mention the comedy you add to your videos.
You're a magician, Doug.. Looks sweet, and probably sounds even better
Doug you're the man! I've seen most of your videos, but after watching this i can simply say you are a genius and an artist at the same time....i wish i can bring my car to your shop
Dayum! Finished that one so fast I can’t believe it’s already over! The glow in the dark on the red is sweet! Now you need some UV LEDs for night time!
So far this is the Best truck setup Doug!
Didn't know it was glued to the paint "factory"
I'm not a car audio God like yourself Doug! .
Keep.up the good work . I've learned a lot and enjoy the hell out of your channel bud .
one thing i love about growing up in the 80's was the movies/ never ending story, the labyrinth, dark crystal and legend .
Lmao at never ending story and the humor in your videos, way to go at keeping it interesting.. 😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Very nice finish Soundman! Thanks for sharing✌️
😂😂 “Jaws” theme music build-up and comment 🙌🏽🙌🏽 😆 Rolling over here in Oklahoma 😭😭
Great info Doug!!! Didn’t know you could recone a woofer. 😎
I liked these. More speaker rebuilds please!! 😊😊🔈🔉🔊
Sweet! I am about to redo my jl w7. Thanks for the inspiration. I carved out the front of my birch box with a Dremel and filled in with glow-in-the-dark pigments and resin. Rooted to rhythm, with roots all throughout .mounted 3 dome black lights above. . I’d be stoked to send you a photo if possible. Aloha from Kauai. You’re welcome to visit and stay anytime. Pick you up in my 78 dodge wagon
ill answer for ya doug....no boot because....all jl audio identification has been removed...stickers on terminals..and the boot since it says jl audio..its a hybrid sub..not jl
Can't believe this was 4 years ago. I had some Inifinity Coax back in 1994 and glued the gosh darn voice coil making it a damn tweeter.
Nice job once again! Love the test bump song @ the end. That beat is crazy & hits really good!
The song is Pick It Up by Famous Dex & ASAP Rocky.
I want to see that glow while it is in the box. That finish will look awesome!
Old video I realize, but did you ever meter that box and sub combo? Scores? Keep up the great work man!!
Show the box at night. I want to see how bright the glow in the dark is.
That bass song made my Sol republic really come out their natural habitat
*That box is amazing 👏*
That red basket looks pretty sick!
Nice work dude!
These videos keep getting better, you can’t have a sunny day without a few shitty rainy days! But i wanna see a macgyver reference next time you’re doing something technical!
Appreciate the work you do. Unfortunately with my crappy headphones and unable to get the full effect. Guess a trip out there is needed. Hahahaha.
First time he touched the bass knob and he song said "smokin" 😂 his voicecoil
I can't believe that cone seperated from that voice coil like that lol.
You can do that with a poly cone.
Good job on your recone bro. Love the matte red paint on basket pretty kickass. Watch your show daily and have never commented till now. Love what you do man. Your attention to detail reminds me of . . . well ME. Mule shirts are bangin as well.
I'd like to see a night shot of the glow. Glad it works fine. It was really odd the impedance was off. I can see being different from stock but should be congruent with the other coil I think. Good work though.
Completely lost it at 12:00, hilarious!!
@ 13:24 i lost my shiznitz as i see the $700 sub rockin on top the enclosure waiting to be dropped!
Sick sub setup as always Doug, Have a good christmas
Shirts look awesome man, I'm getting mine this Friday and I'm soo stoked. Love the show man sooo much. I can never wait till the next episode. quick question, would you ever extend some help if I needed with my system? Just have general questions and love the knowledge you show everyone in your show, even through all the rafa mom jokes lmao.
Looks dope bro. I did notice that the SMD volt meter wasnt working in the video. Might have jus been the angle....
Lovin the Cobras sound man ca. You know, removing the shims and all.
My headphones loved that bass drop!!!!
Your welcome doug you know i got plans for the bands... Band with that is
I swear Doug, some of your subscribers only comment bullshit problems, to have a feature on one of your episodes.
Lol hella 80's with the Never Ending Story that's what's up
I saw your comment on HaggardGarage yesterday. Worlds collide man, worlds collide.
Bad ass build Soundman
Nice custom sub box I've always liked the bandpass Set-up...
Are you going to put bed liner on the runners on the box
I know you put a lot of effort in building this sub but It is not JL Audio 13w7 anymore my friend, it is not even close but it works and sounds good for you thats the most imposrtant in this video ;-) I like your comments so funny I always lough hahahaah
I'm an 80's/90's kid,fuckin love the music and movie clips in your vids bro!!
comedy comes in three's @ 8:16 i lost it 😂
Well done Dougie!
I used to work hand assembling and gluing together speaker drivers for pro audio use. Think big concert shit. And I have to say that I'm pretty confident that the methods used here are no different than what the manufactures use and should hold up just fine 👍🏼🎉
Doug you gotta try pushing it with JL1000/1 to each coil just make sure both amp is pushing the same voltage to each coil I think 1.5 ohms is are 54.7v not sure but it on the manual it amazing how it sounds with two 1000/1
Badass shirt Doug I just ordered mine.
Nice work Doug.
Throw some black light in that box.
That'll get em wet.
Great job Doug. I really enjoy and look forward to your videos. I wonder why there’s such a difference in the coils impedance? For the money spent, I would think who made the coil checked.......
Holy crap looks amazing. But that voltage is scary, dropping below 12!
Technially its now a soundman inc w7....sounds awesome
That bedliner looks good on the box. When are you going to bed line your truck bed?
Test for impedance at the tinsel leads. If you get a different reading you could have a bad solder joint at the Speaker connector
On the video of the JL teardown it looked like the original spider was glued down to the frame with a small section of the paint being removed, but there was no closeup so I can't be certain. I did consider maybe gluing to the paint may not be optimal, but if your a godlike painter then that paint should have just as much adherence as any of the epoxy glues.
Finally the right looking woofer, a glow in the dark red HCCA!
How long does it take to put the woofer n to the box from start to finish? Lotta work their but it is worth the product u have produced beautiful work
So does this one sub in that box hit harder than 2 of the same in ported box?
Make sure that spider is high enough 🤣🤣🤣🤣
can the mic from the RTA handle the bass better than the camera mic?
I'm assuming people were tripping about spider glued to paint was you have to let pain cure before you apply anything to it?
my meter aint metering so i gotta meter my meter
My meter is almost 3 feet long...!
Then your meter is a few cm short...😂😂😂
That's what she said......
How does the accelerator spray work if it doesn't even get sprayed on the adhesive ???
Such great music tastes on this channel.
Would like to hear your opinion on the cheaper cts subwoofers
Question.... the terminals on my 13W7 melted and burned through the plastic cover. Is there anything I can do?
THAT REBELUTION!!! Do you have Polynesian friends? Lmao we listen to the same music! Awesome 😎
So much effort and detail, but gotta tell ya really need the interior of that box painted. Bare MDF with the window looks...........
Ive got the same soldering iron. High five doug!
Doug, i am a brilliant genius scientist and due to the fact you did not solder the leads in a clean room with a one billion micro farad filter they are going to twist!!!! I do however like the rafas mom double thumb trick you used to separate the old coil.👍👍 Oooooooooohhhh yeeeeaaaahhhh! RIP IT MY FRIEND👍
sick bro. looks better without that magnet boot..
For sure.!
Yes! Because it’s no longer a JL woofer, it’s a RAFA special edition design ultra woofer! 👍👍👍
I hate it without the boot.. put it back on man. W7's just look strange without it.
It looks like a FUCKIN underground sub without the skirt
dude that W7 looks dope.. looks like a real sub without that boot.. all these sub lookin plastic and cheap now a days.. doug has good taste bro , he ate rafas moms ass and could tell wat she ate for breakfast..
If you ever have to take it back out, you should throw some UV leds in the box to light up sub!
6:13 This reminds me of bathroom stall graffiti, also Doug it kinda looks like you wrote "Doug B Sucks" which would go along with the bathroom stall thought. :)
That spider gonna twist!!!
Suggest you flat black paint the inside edge of the plexi where it joins the box. Also, gotta cover the bed water tight. No matter how much care you take to proof that Medford, it IS going to SWELL:-)
What can I do to my JL Audio 12W7 to make it handle more power and do insanely low frequencies down to 16hz/35hz?
SICK VIDEO DOUG. OH YEAH ENCLOSURE DOUG🤘🏽
Doug, curious to why you choose the jl over the focal?
Hey, what do you think about Soundman in the same paint you used for the sub.
Would a 12 w7 do good in a 2001 extended cab s10?
There's a break-in period for woofers (as you probably know) so once that spider loosens up, your bass will be *DAYUM*
can u please tell me what kind of glue you use please
Install a few leds inside the box, round the basket, so you can juice that paint up at night for max effect.
Still waiting on my wall placard Doug... You know... The one we ordered back in AUGUST.
Whats that bass knob that you have does it display the volts to can someone tell me what its called pls
so was the output worth doing a blowthrough with one sub?
The subwoofer rebuild looks badass. I was wondering if you plan on doing anything else to the inside of the box. Also, are you gonna pimp out the Thunderbird? Thanks
How does that box sound ? Haven't really seen someone do one that way
That modded JL sub reminds me of Orion’s HCCA subs. Did you paint it red as a homage?
Nicely done!
Heey! I Want to see the woofer glow when mounted in the enclosure😃😃
Did the headliner make difference in the sound?
Love the way this guy thinks
When are you going to finish the inside of the box?
