Prolonged

exposure

to

sound

pressure levels in excess of 100dB can

cause permanent hearing loss. This high-

performance speaker can exceed this level.

Please exercise restraint in its operation

in order to preserve your ability to enjoy

its fidelity.

When installing a subwoofer in your

vehicle, it is extremely important to secure

the enclosure firmly. We recommend

bolting the enclosure through the metal of

the floorpan or the frame of the

vehicle with large diameter washers for

reinforcement. If an enclosure is not firmly

attached, it can become a projectile in a

collision. This

is particularly

important

W6v2 TECHNOLOGIES

1 - Customizable Trim Ring: (U.S. Patent #D480,709) This removable ring can be painted to match the installation theme, if desired.

2- W-Cone™(U.S. Patent #6,496,590) The W-Cone™ unit-body cone assembly delivers astonishing cone-stiffness with minimal mass.

3- Floating-Cone™ Attach Method (U.S. Patent #6,501,844): This unique assembly technique ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment.

4- Plateau-Reinforced Spider Attachment (U.S. Patent #6,118,884): A derivative of JL Audio's famous VRC technology, this bulletproof suspension attachment relieves stress from the spider material at high excursions for enhanced reliability.

5- Pole and Cone Venting (Patent-Pending): Vents at the neck of the lower cone body work in conjunction with the pole vent at the rear of the motor structure.These vents effectively remove hot air during high power operation to improve sound quality and reliability.

6- Forced-Air-Cooled Aluminum Alloy Frame (U.S. Patent #6,219,431, #6,229,902 and #D472,891): Cool air is directly pumped onto the voice coil of the speaker through slots between the frame and top-plate.This enhances power handling and sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression.

7- Highly Optimized Motor Systems:

Highly linear, FEA-optimized motors reduce audible distortion and improve transient behavior for superior sound quality and dynamic stability.

8 - Large, Progressive-Roll Spiders: Optimized to control the long excursion of the W6v2's without limiting it.

9 - Engineered Lead Wires and Connectors: Connections for both voice coils terminate in a unique configuration block on one side of the basket.The extruded lead wire casing and carefully engineered attachments ensure controlled behavior and improved reliability under extreme excursion demands.

W6v2 TERMINAL JUMPER SYSTEM

Please note that the W6v2 is a dual voice coil driver. BOTH voice coils must be connected to the amplifier (in series or parallel) for the speaker to operate properly. To accomplish this, each W6v2 features a pair of main input connection push-terminals and four voice coil configuration tab terminals.These are located behind the main input connectors and are used to interconnect the dual voice coils in one of two ways: Diagram A shows a series connection (8Ω nominal impedance per speaker). Diagram B shows a parallel connection (2Ω nominal impedance per speaker) and is the way the speaker is configured at the factory. After verifying that the tabs are properly configured using the supplied jumper(s), connect the amplifier’s output wires to the W6v2’s main input push-terminals and install the speaker into the enclosure.

Warning! Failure to properly connect the configuration tabs will result in no output and may damage the speaker.

Diagram A: Series Connection (8Ω):

Use one jumper from “VC1–” to “VC2+”

Diagram B: Parallel Connection (2Ω):

Use two jumpers... one from “VC1–” to “VC2–” and one from “VC1+ to “VC2+”.
