Hi all.. i a bit new with ice so need ur guy opinion. recently there a guy offer me his JL 12w3-d4, but i dunno it original or fake one. can ur guy help me out.. Thanks..

looks like ori !

Can i know how to indicate fake or ori?

ask the seller to provide u the receipt on where he got it from. Reputable shops dun do fake stuff.

look like old thing only~~
tat fella selling 2nd thing 2 u..?

This is JL W3V1.. the 1st generation W3.
AsI know JL W3V2(version2) have a lot of imitation..so far W3V1 no comment yet.

yes second hand. use 1 to 2 year already.. i think no receipt already..

i know how to differentiate w3v2 coz i got fake and ori sub ! but w3v1 i dunno lo !

yes second hand. use 1 to 2 year already.. i think no receipt already..

Check for PRO-ICE sticker lo...

Dood i think back then JL was not under pro-ice.
If i am not mistaken it should be reckon-concept.

BTW there were fake w3 v1 as well back then.
possibly you could try look for the serial number to verify.

i think u try to hear to the sound...if imitation JL woofer sound is not nice and the bass not enough...but this model i think not imitation..w3v2 really got fake..

You can test the sound b4 purchase ma. If sound good and good price just pick.

but he will need to hear the original first before can judge whether fake or not mah..

W3 looks like got many imitations.. anyway...old old models..

What is the price then? TS get lost alr? May be alr enjoying the woofer in car.

If woofer can make fake than sticker also sap-sap-sui. Only way to find out is with your ears. Ori & fakes a lot of different.
