Car Subwoofers

JL Audio 12W1v3 and 10W1v3 Car Subwoofers

702232.jpg

For 2012, JL Audio announced the v3 generation of the W1 car subwoofer drivers, incorporating a number of significant advances, starting with the motor systems. Beefy six and eight-layer voice coils now work within a 25% larger motor structure than the v2's, while only increasing mounting depth by 1/10th of an inch (2.5 mm). The big payoff is a whopping 20% increase in linear excursion capability over the v2's, without changing the essential small-box excellence of the core design.

These motor enhancements were guided by JL Audio's proprietary DMA modeling system to deliver superior dynamic stability and low distortion within the W1v3's intended power envelope.

A new injection-molded cone body with a classic JL Audio logo steps up the cosmetics on the front of the driver, while a new black basket finish and field plates with machined surfaces dress up the rear in a major way.
