JL Audio W1-Series 10-Inch 300-Watt Subwoofer Driver, 2-Ohm or 4-Ohm SVC
The JL Audio 10" W1v3 subwoofer driver is a very suitable option when space is limited with smaller amplifiers. It features a low mounting depth of 4.6 inches and a compact motor structure that allows it to comfortably fit in tight mounting locations. There is no pole vent on the rear of the subwoofer which allows the motor structure to be placed directly against an enclosure boundary. Excellent excursion capability and linearity allow the 10W1v3 to reproduce sub-bass with shocking extension and quality.
The JL Audio 10W1v3 is best used with an amplifier in the 75W - 300W RMS range and is optimized to operate in a compact 0.55 cu. ft. (15.57 l) sealed enclosure.

* Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.
** Efficiency (1 W / 1 m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer’s output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other subwoofers to determine which one is “louder”.
