Amplifier Recommendation: 1000/1v2

JL Audio 1000/1v2:

These settings are intended as a “baseline” for tuning your system. Depending on your vehicle and your preferences, some variation in the crossover and bass control settings may be necessary for optimum performance.

Bass EQ:

Generally not necessary in W7 applications (we recommend defeating it by switching the “Bass EQ” switch to “Off”). May be used with Remote Bass Control to provide some user controllable broad bass boost. When used in this manner, set “Q” to “1.1”, set “Center Freq.” to “45” Hz, “Boost” is defeated by connection of Remote Bass Control.

Dual Mono Speaker

Output Connections: Connect wire directly to “+” and “–”“Subwoofer Output” connections and to the W7.

=position of knob

=position of switch

=switch with two possible positions

=setting will vary (see sidebar)

Remote Bass Port: Permits connection of an optional remote bass boost controller (RBC-1), giving you control over the boost of the parametric EQ from the front of the vehicle. The RBC-1 controller is sold separately.

Amp Low-Pass Filter:

Set “Mode/Slope” switch to “24dB”. Set “Filter Freq. (Hz)” knob to “85”. Lower settings are likely to result in a poor transition between the upper response of the W7 and the lower response of the mid-bass speakers.

Ampli￿er Input: Connect RCA-type cables from the head unit (or processor) to these two jacks.

Use both jacks (with a Y-adapter if necessary).

Output Polarity:

Carefully listen to the sub-bass to mid-bass transition with music that has strong mid-bass content. Select the switch position which gives the smoothest, most natural mid-bass response. If using multiple 1000/1’s on multiple subwoofers, make sure this switch is set to the same position on all ampli￿ers.

W7, 13W7D15 specifications

The JL Audio 13W7D15 is a high-performance subwoofer that exemplifies the brand's commitment to providing exceptional audio quality and innovation in the realm of car audio systems. Engineered for drivers who demand deep, powerful bass and unmatched clarity, the 13W7D15 embodies the latest technologies and meticulous craftsmanship that JL Audio is renowned for.

One of the standout features of the 13W7D15 is its massive 13.5-inch diameter cone, constructed from a proprietary blend of materials. This cone delivers both rigidity and lightweight qualities, allowing for fast response times while producing lower frequencies. The distinctive design of the cone is complemented by the patented W-Cone technology, which enhances the overall surface area without increasing the size of the enclosure. This innovative approach maximizes the output of the subwoofer while ensuring optimal sound quality.

The 13W7D15 incorporates a high-temperature voice coil, designed to withstand extreme heat generated during high-performance audio playback. This feature not only enhances reliability but also contributes to the overall efficiency of the subwoofer, ensuring that it can handle substantial power without distortion. Additionally, the subwoofer utilizes a dual 3-ohm voice coil configuration, providing flexibility in wiring options and enabling users to customize their sound system according to their preferences.

Advanced cooling technology is another significant aspect of the 13W7D15 design. The subwoofer is equipped with a unique cooling system that includes an intelligently designed vent that directs air through the voice coil, effectively dissipating heat. This feature not only extends the longevity of the subwoofer but also maintains consistent performance even during prolonged periods of heavy use.

In terms of power handling, the 13W7D15 impressively manages up to 1000 watts of RMS power with a peak power handling capacity that goes even higher.
