o w n e r ’ s m a n u a l

Congratulations on your purchase of a JL Audio subwoofer component. Your JL Audio subwoofer is a precision loudspeaker which has been engineered to produce the highest quality sub-bass performance in your vehicle. Authorized JL Audio dealers have extensive technical information for many different applications of your new speaker. They also have the knowledge, skills and tools to build a high-quality enclosure that will maximize the performance of your speaker. We highly recommend that you have your enclosure built by an authorized JL Audio dealer.

Inside you will find specifications and two recommended enclosures for your speaker; one is a sealed enclosure, the other is a ported design. Both types of enclosures will give you excellent sound quality and low-frequency extension. The sealed enclosure is a better choice if space is extremely tight, but the ported enclosure will produce 3dB more output at the same power if you have the extra space to work with.

If you decide to build one of these enclosures yourself, you must have the construction of the box

inspected and approved by your authorized JL Audio dealer in order for the 1 year limited warranty to

be valid. Please read the warranty information carefully.

Whether in a sealed or ported enclosure, the subwoofer produces tight and accurate bass responses, providing the right blend of depth and punch. If installed correctly, users can expect a well-defined low-end that complements the overall sound system seamlessly.

In terms of construction, the 10W3v2 features a robust rubber surround that allows for greater cone movement while maintaining structural integrity. The subwoofer is also designed with heavy-duty parts, including a die-cast aluminum frame, which enhances durability and minimizes distortion.
