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.  
 
All specifications are subject to change without notice.

The enclosure recommendations listed are external  
dimensions which assume the use of 3/4" (19mm)  
thick material. If you are using 5/8" (16mm) thick  
material, subtract 1/4" (6.5mm) from each dimension.  
Do not use any material with a thickness of less than  
5/8" (16mm) as this may compromise the rigidity of  
the enclosure.

Prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100dB can cause permanent hearing loss. This high-performance

• We recommend the use of this speaker in a bi-  
amplified system using high-quality satellite speakers  
and amplifiers. We do not recommend the use of  
this subwoofer with a passive crossover (coil),as this  
type of device will adversely affect performance.  
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  
in a hatchback, station wagon, sports utility vehicle, or van.  
* Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with  
no correction factors applied.  
** Efficiency (1W/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer’s output capability and should  
not be used as a comparison to other subwoofers to determine which one is “louder” !
