JL Audio 10W1v3-2, 10W1v3-4 Use & Care Guide

OWNER’S MANUAL

10W1v3-2 / 10W1v3-4 Subwoofer Driver

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.

* Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.

** Efficienc y (1W/1m) is not an accu rate indicator of a subwo ofer’s output cap ability and shoul d not be used as a compar ison to

other subwoofers to determine which one is “louder” !
