JL Audio W7-Series 10-Inch 750-Watt Subwoofer Driver, 3-Ohm SVC
The audiophile 10W7AE subwoofer driver delivers amazing excursion capability while maintaining undeniable tracking accuracy under power in the low end sound spectrum.
This 10" W7AE sub is best used with an amplifier in the 300W - 750W RMS range and is optimized to operate in a 1.25 cu. ft. (35.4 l) sealed enclosure, or a 1.5 cu. ft. (42.5 l) ported enclosure.
The JL Audio 10W7AE-3 Anniversary Edition subwoofer driver is the 10th Anniversary of the launch of the JL W7 subwoofers. They are identical to the original W7's drivers but they are distinguished by the following cosmetic differences:
- Satin-Black Powdercoated Baskets
- Bright Anodized Surround Clamp Ring
- Anniversary Edition Cone Badge
- Anniversary Edition Terminal Label
