JL Audio W6-Series 10-Inch 600-Watt Subwoofer Driver, 4-Ohm DVC
The 10W6v3 subwoofer driver offers several technologies similar to JL Audio's W7AE top line of subwoofers to provide powerful advantages in motor linearity and suspension behavior. This 10" automotive sub has a very efficient cooling circuit to deliver reduced distortion and outstanding dynamic balance.
This 10" W6v3 driver is best used with an amplifier in the 200W - 600W RMS range and is optimized to operate in a sealed enclosure with only 0.55 cu. ft. (15.6 l) of air space, or a 0.75 cu. ft. (21.2 l) ported enclosure.
The JL Audio 10W6V3-D4 subwoofer driver comes with Dual 4Ω voice coils that allow the 10W6v3 to be installed in a 2Ω or 8Ω configuration.

* Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.
** For parallel-wired voice coils, divide "Re" by 4. All other specifications remain the same.
*** Re (DC resistance) is measured with the voice coils in series, for parallel-wired specification divide Re by 4. All other specifications remain the same.
